[NikkiQ]

Heading back to PR today ladies. Gonna be a long day of traveling so I'm rocking a puff again today. I can't wait to get home and freakin WASH MY HAIR!

Sent from my Android...Boom.

 

[jprayze]

[Kerryann]

Oh lord where do i start so i bought a big arse rum bottle of Castor Oil from a Haitian lady for only $25...i also have in my Senegalese twist which was done on Saturday....Working to get past APL in the longer areas and APL in the shorter areas

 

[Seamonster]

I am pretty excited about my progress. It might just all be in my mind. Here is my update, what do you think? It would be quite a miracle to make APL from here but I started with this challenge, and I love you all too much to let the length of my hair stop me from updating

Current Wash n Go


June Wash n Go

 

[SimJam]

pookaloo83 I always DC with some heat wether body, hair therapy wrap or steamer

Seamonster chile Imma follow you all over the innanets and reassure u that your hair IS improving immensely.

[Seamonster]

SliMJim thank you, I thought it looked bigger, but I wasn't quite sure. You know how our hair can fool us.

I flat ironed my hair today for the first time since May. I'm excited to share my progress with you all. My hair is poofy now. The frizz monster has attacked it.

buddhas_mom, you are definitely APL! Your flat iron is so pretty!

 

[BEAUTYU2U]

I flat-ironed again ... I usually never flat-iron twice in such a short period of time but I've been needing a break. When I start my new job, I think I'll be getting braids for the winter. My hair's in rollers now but if it comes out decent, I'll snap a few pics tomorrow.

HHG!

I did a quick pull test after a very light blowdry of the nape.
*nervously awaits decision of the tribunal*

I plan to trim 0.5 -1in this weekend. I am LONG overdue for a trim, want those ends looking thicker.

Awesome progress!

I'm excited I will definitely make APL by the end of the yr. I took a braid down today and stretched it and it barely touch APL so I know by the end of the yr I will be the FingersX.

You have very lovely hair. Your flat iron job is very good. @buddhas_mom

where is she at? I need some.

 

[Guinan]

@SimJam, I'm excited for you!!!!

@pookaloo83, I sometimes DC with heat. It's hard for me to sit still, so I've been using the foil cap. It works just as good as using heat.

@bibs, you are def APL. Congrats!!!

@Seamonster, ur curls are BEAUTIFUL!!! You make me wanna go natural, but only if I could get my curls like yours

@buddhas_mom, u are def APL! CONGRATS!!!

@bajandoc86, you look APL to me. Congrats!! Your progress is amazing. You must have your reggie down pack!

@Fyne, I'm staying in this thread, even if I ever reach WL

@NikkiQ, get home safely!!

Morning Ladies,

I'm still enjoying the straight hair. I've been M&S everyday, with my QP Elasta mango butter and WGHO. My ends still feel alittle dry, even after I dusted. I looked at my heat protectant by matrix and one of the 1st ingredients is alcohol So I'm going to start using the CHI Iron Guard and see how that works. I'm so proud of myself, yesterday I went to Target & I didnt buy any hair products!! I am a major product junkie
Congrats again to all the ladies that made APL!!

 

[NikkiQ]

Okay so I'm finally back in PR and at my comp!!! Now...who are my graduates so I can update our list? 3 more days until length check time. I wonder how many ninjas we're gonna have after that!

Reminder to start the bsl 2013 challenge when its proper time

 

[NikkiQ]

^^^Yes ma'am! If anyone sees the BSL 2013 challenge pop up before the end of October, let me know.

HHG!

Follow-up: The curls came out a little poofy so I did a quick length check. The angle is weird as hayle, I haven't mastered holding the camera. Too bad the cat can't snap pics. I still have a few inches to go but this is a decent reference shot.

 

[NikkiQ]

^^^The shine and curls look GAWJUS!

 

[SimJam]

wow so may graduates !!!! congrats to all

 

[Seamonster]

Wow, September is the month for graduates! Congratulations all

 

[NikkiQ]

Who all is interested in the BSL 2013 challenge that is currently in here? Whether you're APL, CBL, or SL...I would like to see as many of you guys in there as possible!

 

[Seamonster]

pelohello My hair texture has changed since I started doing onion mask regularly. Last year I was a strong 4z, now I am 4a with very little tangles.

Interested! BSB was my original goal length. Now I'm curious to see how much hair can retain and maintain.

 

[jprayze]

Length Check!!!

But first, my wash n go this morning using MJ's Curly Meringue.



And then I got my hair straightened on my lunch break (I did an overnight dry DC with MJ's Rapid Recovery -- was Ok but I think I like the other DC better)
