APL/BSL 2014 Challenge

Just did a hard Aphogee treatment, sitting under the dryer with Garnier Fructis 3 Min Undo on my hair for some moisture. Gonna do a quick braid out for tomorrow and the weekend activities. Hoping the protein treatment will cure some of this breakage...
 
l sent a message to the owner of Hot Heads yesterday through Facebook to know if they have a code for black Fridays free shipping (so I could share the deets on here) and she did not respond.

I sent another one today...and still nothing.

I hope that come Friday, free shipping is an automatic thing. I'm trying to be patient with her not responding to my question ..( with it being the Holidays and all ).. but errm.. customer service is imperative, & unless you've stated that your shop is closed in observance of the holiday, I'm going to need for you to respond to my question.
 
UPDATE:

Sandra (from Hothead Thermal Conditioning Caps) just responded.

She has in fact been traveling for the Holiday and apologized for the delayed reply.
Shipping will be FREE on Friday automatically as long as your cart has at least $29.95 worth of merchandise in it.

Yay!!
 
Happy Thanksgiving ladies!

I installed a sew in this morning. I'll probably wear it through the end of the year and relax the first week in January!

Hey Ladies,

Hope you're all having a great time with family!! My fam is awesome!!

I was so busy I went to work 2 days in a row with conditioner in my hair (Shea Moisture Purification Masque). I rinsed last night and put it in a wet bun and tied a scarf for bed. Today I M&S'd but I still had tangles (Im 9 weeks post on Saturday). I though to myself, 'I need something with silicones to detangle'. I pulled out this Wen 613 replenishing treatment mist. It smells great, has amino acids and peptides so I thought it would be great for flat ironing.

Used my new tourmaline flat iron too. Its pretty good; better than ceramic. I have found that I need cones when I am deep in a stretch. My NG seems more like 12 or 13 weeks instead of just 9. I will relax in a week or two.

I LOVE this HHJ!!
 
It's my birfday!!!!

I made a spur of the moment decision to get my hair pressed. I loved my experience. I got a much needed 1" trim.

I received lots of compliments on my no-heat hairstyle yesterday so I'm considering not using heat for the next 6 months or maybe even a year. It would be challenging but I've relied on the flat iron way too much in the past and after my latest setback I need to really step it up.

Im in the exact same boat as you. Ive gone this month without heat and its been hard but my hair has thrived. So I need to drop heat to maybe once a month or every other month and just learn to feel attractive with no heat styles. I think Ill see APL much faster that way.

Im in LOVE with the Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition line!! Specifically the 3 min undo and the nutrient spray. Thinking about trying the shampoo and boom, I may have found a new hair line to be in love with lol. The smell is amazeballs too.
 
All of my hair related Black Friday Purchases:

Silk Dreams
Vanilla Silk Cream Moisture Dream 8oz
Avocado Pudding 8oz

Hot Heads
Thermal Conditioning Cap

Sallys
Edens Body Works coconut cowash X2
Wild Hair Growth oil X1

I also bought my mom 2 short curly wigs online.

I'm Reallllly hoping in 2014 mom takes better care of her tresses. Growing up my mom always had beautiful hair, but as she started getting older she started to use bigen oriental black dye too frequently to cover her grays.. while not moisturizing her hair properly.

Her hair has thinned out significantly and looks really damaged. Instead of fixing the problem, she continues to get synthetic braids every 6-8 weeks.. while still using the dye and not moisturizing her hair.

I'm definitely taking her hair on as a project in 2014... along with errrrything else I have going on in my life.

You got some good stuff girly! Maybe your mom will take more of your advice in 2014 on healthy hair practices fx.

I need some more! I'm giving myself a little break from sulfur/msm so I can shock my system. But next month I'm ordering them again!

I'd like to know more about this hairfinity. I started taking biotin 2 weeks ago but then I heard about hairfinity. What is your experience with it?

I want my hair to thicken up and this shedding is driving me nuts.

I used it a while and and it does work. The price and I hate taking pills is why I stopped but I'm going to give it another try. Go to their website and there's tons of reviews so it will give you an idea of what the pills do for different folks. All you can do is try it and see if it's for you. If you decide to please post your experience!

First pic is after washing & around 60% dried.
2nd pic is a piece after it was stretched in a bun all day.

I took it while I had my braids in and taking them out today I had noticeably more length. It is pricey but for me they were very easy to swallow unlike my prenatal vitamins. My hair does feel thicker but manageable at the same time. I didn't take pics but next month when I get two more bottles I will definitely take pics. Also I did experience subtle nausea when I first started them and once at the end of the bottle but once I ate and drank plenty of water I was fine! I love them!

Thanks for answering ladies. I think I'll order a month supply and go from there. I'm going to braid my hair tomorrow.
 
I'm really feeling myself today since I finally achieved second day hair :lol: I feel a little sick but I'm going out tonight just because I'm so happy about my little mini accomplishment
