APL/BSL 2014 Challenge
- Thread starter HairPleezeGrow
- Start date
The dosage is just one pill a day. I have to check to see how much that actually is.
I thought about trying every other day but wasn't sure how effective it would be if I did that. I think I'll try that for another month and see if there's any change.
I really like the growth I get from these. This is the first "aid" that has worked for me.

It is worth at try. I believe your body is telling you that it already has enough biotin, thus the reactions. Since you already have the bottles it wouldn't hurt to extend the dosage out two or three days. That would help your body to get rid of the excess.

I use need oil in my scalp oil "tonic" before washing.
The concoction is a mix of neem oil, Eucalyptus oil and Njoy sulfur oil.
I apply it to my scalp & massage then apply my prepoo oil (which is red palm oil) to the length of my hair-
I then sit with a processing cap on until it is time to wash.

I love the color! How did you get your pic to look like that? Sort of what 50s or 60s?

Can coconut oil turn bad?
I have a jar of coconut oil with a rest in it that I haven't used in about two-three years. The jar of coconut oil that I was using just finished, so earlier this evening I decided to use that old one. It didn't look very good in the jar. It looked pasty instead of hard, and when melted, it was cloudy instead of clear. But I thought, "hey! it's oil, what's the worst that could happen?" Now my hair is SSUUUUUPER hard and dull. I don't know how to explain it, but when I run my hands over my hair, it feels like it has months and months of product buildup on it. My hands can't glide on my hair. OMG!!!

I believe it can go bad but I could be wrong. Is there an expiration date on it?

Regardless of whether it has hit the expiration date or not ... It made your hair "SSUUUUUPER hard and dull." When in doubt, I say just toss it out!

As with all oils, coconut oil can go bad. If it's food grade, I probably would have chucked it so that I wouldn't make the mistake of eating it. One thing to note is that depending on how cold it gets in your area, coconut oil could harden on your hair, just like it does in the jar (whether it's fresh or not). Our house is about 23C and our oil stays relatively hard in the jar whereas in the summer when it was warmer (around 25C in the house) it was somewhat liquidy on top and soft to scoop out.
If you can get a hold of fractionated coconut oil, then you wouldn't have to worry about it hardening in cold weather.

Coconut oil has about a 3-4 year shelf life

Wound up cutting a half inch or so all over.. not horrible and my ends feel much better. I still think I can make APL by summer next year. Might have to be more regular with using the Njoy sulfur oil to get me there.
I relaxed after 2.5 yrs of being natural. I kinda dont know my hair anymore lol. Gotta learn what works etc. Hoping this will be the change that my hair needs to retain length.

These were the easiest vitamins to swallow that I have ever taken. I will repurchase them because of that and I think they work.

That's why I haven't repurchased them is I have a hard time taking pills. I used them a while ago and they do work so I may go back to them. I saw on Facebook that she was the new face for them.

Today my bantu knot sucked. My cowash dried my hair... its days like this I just want to throw on a weave 
but I've been trying to give that up because I can't take care of my hair properly that way, it's expensive, I get so used to them that I hate my own hair lol, and a lot of maintenance. .. ugh. .. I need to throw out this new As I Am product. But it could have been user error... Hope today gets better. Sorry for the vent

Current Length: Nape length
Goal: APL
Goal Date: December 31, 2014
Hair Type: Relaxed 3C
After years of lurking I finally subscribed.
I was MBL in 2011 and decided to go natural. So I big chopped. I gave it a year but could not deal with my hair because of plain not knowing how to care for it and my busy life.
I relaxed again and had a few setbacks, under processed and being plain lazy with my hair.
I got it all cut off in a bob and it's nice, even textured and healthy again.
I am determined to get my hair back to where it was before the big chop.

I did a small pull test in the back and I'm grazing APL! Unfortunately, my hair is significantly thinner because of my setback and the top is still neck/shoulder length so I don't know if I should trim at APL until my hair thickens up or let it fill in over time. This is the thinnest my hair has ever been so I'm going to try wearing styles like braid outs, twist outs, buns, and roller sets only to hide how thin it is.

That's gr8 you're grazing APL! I would say let your hair fill in over time and then cut if you still feel you need to. As long as you aren't experiencing breakage or anything on the length you have it should be fine.
