APL 2012 Challenge

Capilo Miel y Leche (Milk and Honey)...a Dominican conditioner. Every time she goes, she brings back hair products!!! I :heart3: her! She let us pick which one we want and since I love honey, I picked this one up. I was happy to search it on here and see that people were talking about it. Now I want to use it ASAP:lick:

It's mentioned on this thread. http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=503623&highlight=miel+y+leche

I still have a little of this left from her last trip: http://www.amazon.com/Dominican-Naturals-Key-Treatment-Conditioner/dp/B00204A91E

So I didn't use the Capilo yet. I DC'd on Tuesday with the Dominican Naturals, just trying to use the older one I have up first. Currently bunning...may do a twistout this wknd and go ahead and open the Capilo.
 
Thanks ronie!!! I'm actually anxious to dye it back bright red again.

That can be your APL gift to your hair for being so good. I have been wanting to color my hair but my hair needs to be in much better shape. So i tell her (yes i speak to my hair): When she is APL, with minimum breakage, and healthy ends she can get that color:lol:
 
LMBO!!

Well my dream was different, and i wish my dream was true in real life. I saw that i was braiding my strong and healthy hair and the braids went down to my waist:drunk: It felt so real that i woke up smiling in bed until it hit me that i was still SL with thin and damaged ends:nono:
 
Braid out has been in some janky flat twists most of the day and gonna stay in them until tomorrow. I'll take em down in the morning to see what they look like.
 
The DB transitioning creme really leaves my hair moisturized for days so I didn't need to M&S tonight. I simply put a teeny bit of argan oil on my hair and then parted my hair in four big sections. I applied my Bee Mine with Sulfur to the scalp and then put each section in a big twist and pinned them to my head to go to sleep.
 
My sis braided my hair. It will be 2 weeks next Wednesday. Great get up and go style. I keep it moisturized by spritzing it with water and sealing with Castor Oil. She did it really tight and my scalp was sore for 48 hours but it has been worth it.

lamaria211 oh okay. maybe I should look there too. Thanks for your help. I need to know a good protein conditioner though,,,any suggestions
 
Hi ladies!
Coming out of ninja lurk-land to say that I did suffer a bit of breakage in the back/middle of my hair due to relaxing and having a permanent dye applied in the same day. Oh well, live and learn, right?

But my hair is pretty much indestructible, and seems to still be growing. Even after the breakage, I'm only a few inches away from bsl!

When I reach bra strap, I'm going to maintain there for the rest of the year. That should give my shorter layers a chance to catch up a bit, while allowing me to grow out a bit of the broken sections.
HHG ladies! :grin:
:ninja: Ninja esi.adokowa your hair looks great and you are now so close to BSL!

Hey ladies, boy have I got some catching up to do! I'm back in the good ol' USA, sick but here, and can't wait to have a proper hair day lol. Still waiting on my flat iron from misikko.com to arrive which is a blessing though since we all know how doing your hair when sick, tired or just plain crappy works out...just curious to see how my two months of no flat iron worked out for me.
Welcome home longhairdreaming! I am curious to see how my hair is coming along too with WGHO and will be posting new length pictures by August 1st! :rocker:

Celies are out. Still not APL yet,but got a bit more hang time in this braid out so I'm happy.

livinthevida, HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLIE! Enjoy your day/weekend!

Ladies, hope all of y'all are doing good. I'm still in twists and trying to retain my growth. Im in need of a trim and hope to get that done next week.
 
Wore the hair out today and got a few looks. Not sure if they were in admiration or out of curiousity. The ladies here RARELY wear their natural curls. Everyone loves to straighten their hair or get BKTs
 
Got my hair out today. It's humid as hell. Some man came up to me and asked me what my hairstyle was called. Asked if it was called the erykah badu. :rolleyes:

Guess who had a 1st time successful air-drying experience? I took a shower and spontenaously washed my hair in the shower. The weighed down feeling & oiliness was getting on my nerves and I wanted a clean scalp again. when I came out I was frustrated because I didn't feel like rollersetting and my SO was like why don't you just airdry your hair. I just looked at him like he was crazy. But then I realized I had too much to do. So I was like okay I'll airdry it and then DC tomorrow for a rollerset. I put a tshirt on my head and dried it that way for about 20 min as i did some chores around the house. when I took it off I applied some paul mitchel super skinny serum to the ends and tied a scarf as a headband around my edges to lay them flat. When it was 95% dry, I made four big sections and used transitioning creme on my NG and then a little on the lengths of my hair and then sealed with vatika frosting. I made about 6 big twists on my head and pinned them up and tied with a mesh scarf and went to bed. When I woke up I was in heaven. I had a thick luscious twistout (which is now bunned). I think I will deffinitely be airdrying a lot more. Plus I'm not gonna do the rollerset today.

I'm super happy because my hair is soft and fluffy and feels great:yep:
