APL/BSL 2014 Challenge

i think i'm staying ahead of my hair getting too dry, but it definitely gets dryer than it did pre-color. i kind of wish i didn't color it, but at least i got it out of my system. i think it will be okay. i don't think i'm going to keep it up, though. i'm going to let it grow out.

i need to find a way to hide my hair.

So I rcvd my order yesterday from Anabelles when I got home from work. Some of the items have more of a strong perfummy smell to me rather than a sweet smell. Anyway I cowashed with the coffee cowash and it smells good. It cleanses very well for a cowash. It didn't leave my hair feeling coated or rough. Actually it was very nice and soft. It has some slip but I didn't detangle with it yet. I will do that next time. The consistency is kind of on the thicker side. I really like this stuff. After I left my hair on my turbie to soak up the water for 20 minutes. I applied the honey almond LI and then the honey almond moisturizing lotion and it had my hair nice. Like I said it has a strong perfume smell to me but it works wonders. My curls were so nice and defined...and get this here's the kicker...elongated! My hair shrinks up something bad especially with a wash n go. This LI and lotion hand my hair very much elongated.

Try diluting your shampoo more. I have found with color it was the shampoos causing my dryness. When I switched that up my hair was just fine.

Have you tried HOTs? May be worth a try along with the advice given above to dc more (with steam if you can) and dilute your poo.
 
My scalp has been itching, but my laziness has prevented me from doing anything about it :blush:

I won a visa gift card at work this weekend so im gonna go to sally's and get some hair goodies. I need a banana clip, hood dryer and a leave in conditioner. Dh and I are gonna be working out hardcore this week and we are probably going swimming too so im gonna postpone my blowout until the last week of the month. We gotta get fit on them boys lol!!
 
ohhhh...im getting the itch to remove these twists. yikes. i was so hoping id last at least 6 weeks, but im not so sure thats gonna happen.
 
So I am back to growing my hair out again after chopping it into a bob last week. I wants my hair back:look: Just trimmed my hair after a long time not trimming it. It was much needed so I am starting with a clean slate.

Current hair length: CBL Stretched (9.5-10 inches in back) (13 inches all around)
Goal Length: APLish/BSLish(not paritcular about this)15 inches
Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Transitioning: Natural

Goal Month: December 2014

Current Reggie and styling choices:
Buns, buns, and buns. I may be getting long braids this summer
Weekly
--Wash, DC every two weeks
--Moisturize, seal with oil and bun
--Protein treatment every two weeks
--Baggy buns every night
--Do LC or LLC and style in twists
--No direct heat


What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL?
Nothing but maybe wear my hair out more often
 
I went to sallys and got a few hair toys. I got a few headbands, some hairsticks and a banana clip. Im gonna rock buns during spring break
 
haha. twists are out. i lasted 3 full weeks. i took them out and then just turned them right into larger twists, so we're still protected. :)


also still wearing em covered.

will do neater twists in a couple of weeks or so.

do think my hair grew a bit...so yay for that. i think i'm gonna skip the upcoming length check. i was gonna participate, but maybe i'll wait until the june check in.
 
I had a dream that I got my hair blown out and it was almost bsl!! Too bad that was just a dream. Im sure I only grew an inch in the last 3 months :(

ITA

You will get there:yep:

Before my last bob cut, I made it to BSL and NEVER thought I would ever get there. You will. Patience and consistancy is key.
 
Im still in buns!

With the weather break I am itching to wear my hair out, but I will wait. The weather is not consistantly warm yet. So I will keep bunning.

I will try to do a no heat personal challenge as well.
