APL/BSL 2014 Challenge

Re: APL 2014 Challenge

naija24 I'm getting the same thing as well but more on my right than left. I've been lightly massaging with jbco every night for the last week and will continue to do so. Hoping it will help. My temples are a little tender as well, even though I've put my hair up loosely everyday. :-( Wondering if it is to do with sleeping on that side?

Did a 2 minute protein treatment yesterday after a fenugreek, marshmallow, slippery elm prepoo. Followed the protein with the last few drops of AOHSR that I had. I really need to get some more. No one locally has it. So to the internet I shall go! My hair feels super good, strong, moisturized, healthy, GREAT! I love it when I get something RIGHT!!!!!

ETA oh and I forgot to add that I did a final rinse with naptural85's hair and body oil. My hair was super oily during the air dry process, but no breakage, no crunchiness, not a soft as with my trusted EVCO though. So on my next wash day, I will try just oil rinsing with EVCO as the final step and see how it air dries.

I've been doing really well with remembering to take my vitamins and can see the difference in my nails hoping by summer my hair will follow
 
Re: APL 2014 Challenge

About to do this protein treatment, this winter I'm not going to miss a week. My hair loves protein.
 
Finally getting some decent uniformed hang time in the shower. I remember not long ago just my front and very nape would hang just a little and now it seems to be more all around. APL hurry up and come now!

I jacked that sentence up :lol: I officially give you permission to walk around with your water bottle and mist your hair like they did back in the jherri curl days. You can start a new fad :lol: I can see it now "The HairPleezeGrow Super Hydrating WNG Hair Mist Bottle" :yep: "Never A Dry Curl In the House."

Re: APL 2014 Challenge

if cantu is a protein leave in then i think i found a new staple. my new growth (which is crazy higher than normal due to inversion last week) is softer than ever and i love how my hair feels.

maybe protein was what i was missing.
 
Re: APL 2014 Challenge

Thanks for the tag. I'm transitioning, so I do not know if my natural hair will make it to APL by Dec2014... my transitioning hair is almost there... but I want to count only the natural part. hmmm Should I join?:ohwell:

I changed my mind about transitioning. I relaxed at 32 weeks post. I'm starting over from hair damage.

Current Length: SL relaxed.

GOAL Month: I am aiming to be APL by December 2014

Reggie:
I don't really have a set regimen. But Relax every 12 weeks. PS 99.9% of the time in buns and other updo styles.

What do I plan on Changing: Just protein and moisture balance

Did my 1st "blow out". I used virtually no heat/ blow dryer with comb. Then I did a twist out.
I like it. More stretched than usually.

Gorgeous twists!!! :thud:

Checking in Girls!!

I got some good NG for just 6 weeks post. I usually don't see this much until 7-8 weeks post! Im convinced its gotta be the fenugreek pastes and JBCO massages. After rinsing the fenugreek, shampooing and conditioning, I always get tingling in the scalp :perplexed:

Here's a pic of my NG:

You did that!...it looks lovely. What products did you apply to twist? And did you sleep in them overnight for it to dry?

How often do you do the pastes? Its so simple to do I might try it. Great growth!
 
Here are a couple pics from last week's twistout. I use Kids Organics Shea Butter Moisturizer and Coconut Oil on each twist.

Looks very nice. How long does the style last? And do you retwist at night?
