I tried AOGPB for the first time last wash day and my breakage has definitely improved these last few days. I'm not sure if it's safe to use this weekly though. I'm going to try a moisturizing conditioner by the brand next. I'm ready for the new year so I can get serious about my hair. Hoping to make full APL by May and BSL by December!

GPB and HSR are my favorite AO conditioners. I used it weekly when I experienced breakage. It's a mild/light protein.

Installed mini twists and set into bantu knots. Hopefully this will keep until the end of the year.

So I've taken down one of my box braids after A month and measured my new growth which puts me at 2' and my overall length is now between 8-11' (graduated Bob) 1 more week before I take down my braids. I need to start thinking about another PS now before I relapse with CC. I'm currently 15wks post relaxer transitioning

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LHCF excuse any typos do not use my photos please!!!

washing my hair today. i will do an oil treatment and i am using a sulfate shampoo or i might just clarify. going to dc under the dryer. i don't think i will be styling my hair until christmas eve. so, it will just be in my jacked up little bun.

Trying to decide if I should relax my hair today or just straighten it. I think I will just straighten it and stretch it out until Feb. That's going to put me between 11-13 weeks. I just gotta really work on keeping my newgrowth moisturized. Think I am going to do a protein treatment on my strands.

If I didn't have boob/back fat sagging I probably would know where my arm pit is.. LOL I am working on it. But I'm close bc when I measure in front, it's pretty close to my arm crease.

Aghhh my hair is dry, dry, dry! Im also experiencing some breakage. The only thing I did different for yesterday's wash day was use that stupid silicone rinse out conditioner. I was going to flat iron this morning but now I have to start all over I'll just do a twist out smh

 

[gvin89]

myfaithrising, those are very cute. I'm going to copy this for my style next week. Do you moisturize nightly before knotting?

I usually moisturize every other day because for some reason my twists stay moisturized longer than my loose hair.

I couldn't help myself and did my baby's hair using the curlformers. I wanted to see how they would look and it came out beautifully. I haven't seperated them or anything. I used Soultanicals Muru and then applied BASK 7 fold butter and JR Nurish and Shine. I used 103 rollers and let her sit under the dryer on medium heat for 25 minutes and then hair dried for 2 hours after that. I left 2 rollers in bc they weren't dry yet.

It came out beautiful!

I've taken down my weave, that hair lasted just a month. I think I'll do another self install weave for the new year.

I took it off yesterday and the cornrows are still in, I hid it under a head wrap for today. Will repeat the head wrap for Christmas day.

Thank you!!

Beautiful head of hair. She should be a hair model. Great job mom.

oke:Your baby's hair came out sooo pretty. HairPleezeGrow Now why aren't you in the children's challenge? oke:

Went to my stylist on Friday to get a flat iron for my length check. I went from grazing BSL to SL (it was needed due to ssk and split ends) I have 2 inches until my longest layer reaches APL (6 on the shirt). Signature photo is my current length. Not sure why the picture came out sideways.
