I have the db leave-in in a different sent and liked it. I applied on wet hair that had been t-shirt dried. Watery leave-in is best for my low po strands, so this was a winner

I want that DB Pumkin condish:)
 
I think I'm gonna be trying to get to APL forever...anyway here are comparison pics between twistouts. First using MJs curly pudding only and the other using HE LTR followed by twisting with fantasia I.C. (green) gel.

Which one do u prefer?

:bighug: Ladies THANK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU for all the wonderful Birthday Wishes! :grin:

@lovebug10 Congratulations on your 1st air-drying experience! It's so easy to do and almost as addicting as rollersetting!!! :lol:

@lamaria211 & Ladies! I am tweaking my reggie too :yep: I thought it was good at first to try a new hair oil (Wild Growth Hair Oil) yet it's been impossible for me to know the right amount to use. Eventually I settled on using 2 drops every other day (except weekends) and had good results with thicker hair and (I think 0 length!). Thinking I'd give something else a try I found myself missing OCO! This means officially today I am returning to OCO :yay: remember the photo with half jar left? Yes! I still have it! I bet this half will take me to the end of 2012! since the 1st half lasted 5 whole months :lachen: I'll add my tweaked reggie in a new post listing mesh rollers, moisturizer, and hair dryer!

@pookaloo83 Congratulations on reaching APL! I am with the ladies you are APL!

@jprayze I read the update! what is the HTGE?

Welcome @Sheika415!

@Kerryann sorry to hear that happened hoping you are ok!

Hilarious @newnyer! :ninja: We see you recruiting ninjas :lol:

@pelohello I was happy to take a LEAP and try a new hair oil yet I'm returning to my favorite OCO! the only challenge I had in using WGHO was knowing the right number of drops to apply. WGHO is very light and spreads easily like OCO :yep:

In yesterday's length check my hair length is the pretty close to same as 30 Days ago :lol: (July 1, 2012) when I started to use Wild Growth Hair Oil (WGHO). I feel my hair is thicker yet no length gained these first 30 Days. I bet if I stay with using WGHO I may see added growth yet I miss OCO! And similar to when I applied OCO I experienced growth and thicker hair over 5 months. Win win both ways yet OCO does a MUCH BETTER rollerset!

Here is my updated hair regimen beginning August 1, 2012:

Daily (Monday - Thursday)
1. massage OCO onto scalp and apply R&B (Revive and Balance) Moisturizer from ears to ends
2. wear Evolve Conditioning Cap as I workout in the AM :sunshine:
3. cool rinse hair
4. gently squeeze excess water
5. roller set hair with Mesh Rollers
6. sit under Hair Dryer (today my hair completely dried in 35 minutes :yep: this works for me giving me a chance to sit and have a light breakfast)
7. lose rollers and out the door I go!

Daily (Friday - Saturday)
1. split hair into two halves
2. set hair in 2 two-strand twist
3. let hair naturally air dry
4. undo twists
5. a-ok to shake hair like a rocker :rocker:

Weekly (Sunday only!)
1. divide hair into 4 sections
2. apply Macadamia Oil Deep Repair Mask to each section from crown to ends
3. wear Evolve Conditioning Cap and leave Mask in hair for at least 20 minutes (slather it on pretty good! :grin:)
4. warm rinse and let hair naturally air dry
5. set hair into 2 two-strand twist

Me too. I'm in twists (with my own hair) cause I don't know what to do. Thinking of putting in crochet braids. Haven't done those in a while.

why did i never join this challenge?? *scratching my head*
anyways, i hope to reach APL by December.
i'm so annoyed at my hair-it seems like it's sooo hard for me to retain, but i can't really blame anyone but my own self. I like to style and manipulate...but my strands are fine and don't enjoy all of that.
anyways, this was my hair june 14th. I am attempting to grow it out blunt, so i trim fairly regularly. this is probably a big reason for my slow retention, but delaying trims in the past just eventually resulted in a whole lotta splits and damaged ends that had to be cut off in the end anyways.

currently, i'm in the twist/braid/bun for growth challenge, so i hope to see some results from that.
i may also weave it up for back to school, because i do get good retention in weaves, and i get to style hair, which is a win.
 
Rocky91, Welcome!! I luv the color and the cut. Your hair is beautiful.

Livingthevida do you wet your hair everyday? Are you natural? I started working out on my lunch breaks, but before I had the minibraids so sweating wasn't a problem. Now I wear my hair in braidouts. I haven't worked out in a month & I want to start back up again. Do you re-braid your hair when you workout?

Hair Trigger Growth Elixir - a lot of ladies around the board are using it, but I haven't really seen any growth compare pics yet. Guess I'll be the first...:yep: The ingredients are really good though.

I started using it on August 1st, using this method:

  • Daily Treatment: Apply hair trigger explosive growth elixir to the scalp making sure to apply to no more than 1 inch of hair from the root. Massage in well with fingertips starting from nape and edges towards the crown thoroughly for 2-5 minutes. Style as usual. Apply up to twice daily or as needed.
They have 2 formulas-- regular and lightweight. I've been currently using the regular formula and I don't think it's too heavy for me.

@jprayze they both look nice, but I like the one in the pink best because your ends curled up more.

Thanks I'm trying to nail down my twistout products because I'm going to wear a twistout in Dominican Republic when I go for Labor Day weekend. I'm not sure why my ends curled up more, but I guess my hair liked the Fantasia IC better than Ms Jessie's.
 
I wish I could take a pull test pic on a back so I can show you guys that I'm not APL yet! I refuse to be a ninja in my own challenge dammit!!! :lachen:
 
Maybe I should just keep mini twists in an updo for a couple months. I feel like i may have hairnorexia or whatever.
 
:look:Did I miss a length check...jeeze...n e way I've been off protective styling, just trying to enjoy my hair! Nothing new or special, I stopped using my mn and switched over to hair trigger growth elixir...I'll get back on mn after my birthday in sept n use it till Halloween....tis all =)

livinthevida your hair looks good!!!
Kerryann omg, I'm glad your ok! Scary
NikkiQ I was bored with my hair too, so im just wearing it out, what the point in fighting for health and length if I never get to enjoy it

In my experience, front is harder to reach than back so claim it woman! :lachen:

Are you still using MN? If so how is it?

Unfortunately I am not using MN anymore. I haven't been able to find it locally and no one ships to PR online. I'm in a dill of a pickle.

I was pulling a piece from the back over my shoulder to the front. I never really use my hair in the front in length checks since they grow SO SLOW!! My bangs are just now chin length.

"Grow
