APL/BSL 2014 Challenge

Re: APL 2014 Challenge

Today I moisturized my hair with motions oil moisturizer hair lotion and seal with a little bit of sunflower oil.
 
I used NJoys Purifying Cowash yesterday and it cleanses very well. It isn't a thick cowash by no means and you expect it to be more like the way a traditional conditioner or cleansing conditioner would be in consistency but it isnt. Do not attempt to detangle with this cowash but it gets the job done and cleanses very good. I massaged my scalp with it and applied it to shaft of my hair. Left in for 10 minutes and rinsed. My hair felt soft. I followed up a moisturizing con with slip so I could detangle (SDDH). This is an excellent cowash so far. Had my curls popping.

Oooo good to know. I have been wanting to try this out!
 
I don't have much to update but I'm still suffering from severe breakage. Just in case it's protein overload, I'm starting to DC twice a week and not use my heat passes.
I'm doing everything I can to have two inches of growth for the first length check in March!
 
Oh yeah I forgot I tried on my NJoy LC shirt. I wish she had XXL but oh well.

Re: APL 2014 Challenge

I'm planning on starting rollersetting. I like when my hair dries stretched it seems more moisturised, it does seem like a bit much manipulation but I don't think i'll use a rat tail comb rather something a little bigger.
 
Current length: full shoulder
I'm Natural
Goal Month: July2014'
Reggie: wash,prepoo,dc, once every 2 weeks .
What I want to change: thought I was going to make apl in November2013
Next year I'm going hard , wash,prepoo,dc every week m&s every other day ,buying butters oils natural deep conditioners, continue to cowash, & protective style
Starting Pic :

What post are you responding to? I came in looking for the wig, especially a twist wig.

You did that!...it looks lovely. What products did you apply to twist? And did you sleep in them overnight for it to dry?

Sorry so late I moisturized with KCKT & oyin hair dew, blow dried, then twisted on dry hair with my HG Oyin burnt sugar pomade
 
I blowdried my hair yesterday and I'm pleasantly surprised by how long my hair is. I'm going to do it again this Friday and will post a pic. I got a new phone so finally I can post thru the app.

Lets see if I can add my starting pic to this finally

Eta: it worked. Sucks though because the ones on my camera are much better.
 
Re: APL 2014 Challenge

So I was really anxious to try my hand at rollersetting. The last time I tried was when I was natural and the results weren't bad but it just took so long and I never got it quite right.

Well I tried with the (8) rollers I had lol these little black ones and it came out really really smooth, I even wrapped it lol. I need to buy a dryer and much bigger rollers but it's sooo easy on relaxed hair, plus I saw this great tutorial on yt by buildablebeauty. Very excited!

lol I know it looks ridiculous using only 8 rollers, also looks kinda crap because i've been out in the rain but there is potential! lol lol

Hi lovelies!! I'm joining this thread and want to introduce myself. My name is Brandi and I am currently shoulder length. By my birthday August 2014 I plan to have Apl or full Apl
 
I would like to join. I want to grow my hair to waist length. I BC'd in May of 2012.

Hair: natural

Current length: longest part is just past my shoulders. Front is lip length.

Goal date: December 2014

Reggie: I am a pj, but stick to a modified CG method.

Here's a semi- starting length pic. I'm actually shocked that piece is that length as it's from the back and my length comes from the middle section (not necessarily the crown). It's all pretty even with the exception of my nape and crown. My nape and my crown are trouble spots!!!

OAN I'm going to see India Arie tomorrow and I need to do something to my hair. Maybe another twist out!

Re: APL 2014 Challenge

So, I'm currently DCing with ORS Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner, mixed in about 2tbls of castor oil, but I'm too lazy to go wash it out....this looks like it's going to be an over night dc.

Consistently drink at least 64oz. of water, and exercise 5-6 days a week

I started back using jbco today and I can't remember why I stopped using it in the first place. Jbco helped me grow out a chemical burn turned bald spot the size of a nickel about two years ago. My only regret is that I should've oiled my entire head daily with the jbco instead of just the top. I think that's the reason why the top of my head is always more healthy and thicker than the rest.
Anyways, back to using jbco! It's the truth.
