APL/BSL 2014 Challenge

I tried bantu knots :look: I don't love it but I think with more practice I can get it to my liking. Might look better on blown out hair or something.
I need to call out shea moisture for that deep treatment masque though. I used it as a styler and um YES! (I know, I'm late :lol:) Its too heavy for me to use everyday, but it left my hair so fluffy and shiny!

I think it s cute veesweets. You could apply some edge products to the sides I to make it look a bit more polished. I personally never use any edge tamer. I usually leave my styles wild and free. I may pin one side with a pin using my fingers only. So to me your hair looks great.
 
ronie thank you! I thought about adding some edge tamer, but I've been trying to just let my edges "be" more often since they're still recovering a bit from a year of non-stop wigs. I dont really know what I expected it to look like..I'm going to try making them smaller then maybe bigger and see what I end up with

Hey Ladies,
I took down my braids and did a much needed henna treatment. It stayed up for 6 weeks. I got a nice amount of NG but IDK how these bone straight relaxed ends held up.

Doing a protein and moisture treatment tonight and texturizing on Friday. I will attempt a protective style instead of flat ironing, too.

I LOVE this HHJ!!
 
Unofficial length check from my phone.



My hair was freshly washed and air-dried. I think I have about 2" to go before APL. Hoping to claim it by the end of the summer.
 
Yesterday I saw a new Herbal Essences conditioner (Tea lightfully Clean) with tea trea oil. It can be used to cowash hair without buildup. I tested it out on my 3 kids today. It has a nice smell, great slip and it really seemed to cleanse their hair and scalp. It even lathered a bit. The only con is that there is a strong hint of menthol that burns my eyes. I will use it on my hair probably tomorrow after my workout.
 
Took my weave down, i realllllly missed my hair. It definitely grew, my curls are elongated. Gonna relax soon though (when I get the funds for a trustworthy person to do a virgin relaxer)
Got my reggie ready :)
 
Relaxed today I think I might be at APL or very close. Looks like I retained about 2 inches from December till now. I thought this was a really slow growth period especially w ith the harsh winter we had but I'll take 2 inches.
 
I decided to treat myself to the hair dresser today. Been years since my last visit, and could of did a better job myself. She was rough with my tresses and that soo HOT blow dryer omg! I get tired doing my hair, so I will be in hard search for gentle stylist. Hair looks decent though, hope no set backs

i really think no one handles my hair the way i handle. even when SO helps I'm giving him the evil eye and that starts an argument. oh well don't help me. i can feel my hair getting tugged at the root
