APL/BSL 2014 Challenge

Hi ladies!

I haven't been checking in much due to an issue I created for my hair. I over processed my hair trying to color it then tried to use color remover and my hair got SUPER porous.

I think I'm still working that porosity thing out. I tried DCs, protein treatments and nothing worked. When I put coconut oil on my hair it sat on top and turned my hair hard. Coconut oil used to be my hair's savior! :(

Two things that really helped was the ACV rinse I did and yesterday I used the Baba de Caracol Intensive Treatment and left it in my hair for a couple of hours. I'm not back 100 percent but my curls have returned. I'm just taking things day by day and researching what can help with my hair. I was doing so well and I'm angry with myself for even trying the color. :(
 
I need to be more consistent with ACV rinses and oil rinsing. Did both yesterday and ended up with hand in hair syndrome for a few minutes.

Your hair looks very healthy! You'll definitely be there by December :--)
 
Ok. So I just took out my sew in. I had it in since November 30. I shampooed, conditioned and deep conditioned for a few hours. Then I kinda sorta blowdried.. In order to do a Bantu knot out or a braid out. I haven't decided. Just a few more inches to APL!!!

Thanks!!!! At this rate I'll be BSL by the end of the summer.

Obviously the less manipulation I do, the more I retain.

Sew ins for the rest of the year.

Your hair looks great. I will have to ask everyone when I think I'm APL, because to me you are APL. What am I missing here?
 
I've been drinking bamboo tea since the beginning of the week. I made homemade hairdrenalin last night. I will start that tonight. I'm also a big smoothie person. Started them for health reasons and started adding in ingredients to benefit both health and hair.

I saw on Hey Fran Hey, how she keeps her greens from going bad by blending and making ice cubes. I've done it a few times, but this time added some supplements I had sitting around that will probably expire in a few months: wheat germ oil and biotin.

Guys I am really feeling this wig. I braided my hair down and left a tiny bit of leave out. Put some PM super skinny serum, and CD macadamia heat protectant serum and flat iron my LO. It blends well just not the same color lol. Anyway I love this wig. I have yet to try on the longer one. I may play around with it today. Sent from my iPad using LHCF

I'm trying to decide if I should get a wig or put in some braids. Just need to hide my hair so I can keep my hands out of it lol.
