APL 2012 Challenge

Some ladies keep it really simple and use shea butter and EVOO. My braidouts are always a result from wearing my Celies for a week or more. I use a leave in condish and them either SM Deep Treatment Masque, Curl Enhancing Smoothie, or Curl Milk. I've used a wee bit of gel before, but I ended up with flakes when I took the braids down. Not a hot look on freshly dyed red hair.

Thanks. I'm going to try to keep it simple too. Do you remember what kind of gel you used before? I want to make sure I stay away from it.:nono:
 
yes bettysmsboop I used it before I switched over to WEN. Love it. the olive oil one is the best in that line.

thanks! NikkiQ I'm hoping to be able to claim it soon! I want to be close to BSL if possible by May which is my graduation from law school. I wanna swing my hair across the stage!! haha

Thanks, tried it once and wasn' t too happy but figured I probably need to let it sit for awhile before I rise it out. I will allow it to sit longer. Thanks for replying : ) Not sure if I want to buy get Wen yet.
 
I made a spray bottle mix the other day using: water, glycerine, HE LTR, essential Rosemary oil and a tiny bit of acv. It turned out great Ive used it twice its good all by itself but I love it even more sealed in EVOCO :) just thought I'd share

Don't know why but I feel like I've been a night owl recently. I just spent the past hour researching caruso rollers. And now I feel like I need some in my life ASAP!

I have a set and haven't used it in a few years. However when I first bought it I used it often. Its a great buy.

Be careful. I like to believe I need a mountain of hair things at night. wake up and just want to bun.
 
Watching hair yt videos or doing any type of hair research while sleep deprived and/or a little drunky drunk is the worse thing that ever happened to my credit card :nono:
 
Cowashed the Celies yesterday. Almost a week down...another week to go with this set before I dye and braid back up until my trip home. Woohoo!

This is a problem I understand all too well and why I have a large bag full of nothing but hair products lol. My poor credit card will have a much needed rest in the freezer when I get home lol.

I've decided to press/straighten my hair once every two to three weeks starting November so I've stocked up on what seems every recommended shampoo, dc, leave-in and tool lol.
 
Hey ladies, I'm not feeling so well so I don't I think I will wash my hair today hopefully I will be able to wash it tomorrow if I feel better.

I might try to boil some Lipton tea and let it sit overnight and put it in a spray bottle the next day and sprits it all over my hair. the last time I did a Tea rinse I just poured it onto my hair which was too messy for me.

No longer a ninja!
My boyfriend and I have been "discussing" my hair for the last little while.
I was desperate for a bob, he wanted me to continue to grow it out.
We met in the middle.
I had it cut and relaxed yesterday, feels so nice to have it short again, it's so easy!

Stretching with longer hair was not working for me.
We went swimming on Tuesday, and I saturated my hair with conditioner before braiding it in French braids to keep it safe.
Wouldn't you know that the middle of my head still matted up so badly that the stylist had to cut some pieces out.
So I think I might start relaxing between 8--12 weeks, no more stretching.

I'm going to enjoy my hair until my next relaxer, then I'm going to work hard to get back to apl by December!
I think I need another couple inches.

Eta: excuse the extra-ness of these pictures, I'm really enjoying my hair haha
