your so right it would be a wonderful gift!!!

 

[divastyle2010]

I did a protein treatment. I used the Aphogee two step. My hair always feels healthier afterwards, but if I do not DC really well my hair remains... hard. I left the DC on over night.

do you use the moisturizer in the pink bottle with it, it makes it so much easier to work with, and it is by aphrogee!!! thanks for the update!

 

[divastyle2010]

I don't have much to report. My hair is up and out of the way in kinky twists for a few more weeks. I am moisturizing and sealing it at least once a day and its feeling pretty good. I am not sure how long I will keep them in because my roots are soooo loose already. I am expecting to learn a lot from this.
--are my ends protected well enough
--will they last 4 weeks if I do it myself
--will my hair matt due to loose roots

I am missing my hair but at the same time glad to have a break.

I think this is an awesome way to learn more about your hair!!! gl!!! and keep us posted!!!

 

[divastyle2010]

Rossy2010 IKR? They have a SL 2010 challenge on here somehwere but its like 23 pages long and closed so. ..I'm hoping to be Full SL by DEC. I can taste it lol!

divastyle2010 I swear after like 4 days of taking them I have new growth lol. Not alot but enough to be noticeable since I've had these braids in for 4 days! They were tight when I got them done and now I can tug on them and they give!

EVERYONE!!!!! GO BUY A BOTTLE OF THIS! ESPECIALLY IF YOUR BRAIDED OR HIDING YOUR HAIR!

TRIPLE GRO'S GRO SPRAY IS THE BUSINESS! I had tyzillions last year and I swear when I took them down I had 4 inches of growth from using this!

it;s crazy @ pinkypromise I am seeing growth with these vitamins already my cornrows are loosening!

 

[CoffeeBrown]

Good Day Ladies! I was going to complain about my slow growth when I noticed... I got a lot of growth last month! In the first pic you can see I had to cut my bangs super short due to damage. (Was wearing half wig, but not protecting the front) That pic was taken Sep 19th and my bangs were about mid forehead and super straight. The next pic was taken Oct 17th and they are grazing my eyebrows again after being bumped with a curling iron. I am so happy to have my bangs back!

Did not have a real regimen last month other than I was using flaxseed oil to seal my hair after co-washing every other day.

This might be a good way to show my progress so I will try to remember to post another pic next month. HHG!

 

[divastyle2010]

hi ladies!!! castor oil and hair finity vitamins are my new best friends!!lol!!! i see growth already and I relaxed october 10th and I am doing a six month stretch again till april 10th!! After my last stretch (which was my first) this will be something I will be doing till i hit my goal!!! I am currently keeping cornrows in under my wigs and will wash every 2 weeks and dc and pt!! until my 4 or 5th month! then it will 3 weeks till i wash. oh and I only use heat every three months to see my progress!I cant wait till January for our first progress pic! I am also in my finals week for school and on nerve end, so wish me luck ladies and I hope u all are coming along well....

 

[BKfinest]

BKfinest OMG Loving Your Reggie. Where did u buy the JBCO? I have been dyignt o find some and I havent been able. I think I may have found some tonight but Im searching hard here. lol[/QUOTE

ClassyDiva sorry it took me so long to respond...I could not log on to the forum for some reason. Anywho Thanks I like to keep it as simple as possible LOL I brought my JBCO from my local Beauty Supply store. I live in Brooklyn and I'm starting to see that almost all the BSS are carrying it now. I hope you find some, It's great!

 

[Rossy2010]

Hi everyone
Im exactly 3 weeks post relaxer today and Im so tired of seeing my hair. I just want the time to fly so that I can have it in cornrows and just give it a break. I have 3 more weeks to go... so mid next month Im having those cornrows installed.
Apart from that Im still PSing, low manipulation etc. Clarified today and Dced my hair feels so soft and looks healthy.

 

[BKfinest]

Hey ladies I'm still washing and deep conditioning every week...applying my JBCO to my scalp and edges..so far so good...OH I decided to bun my hair for the first time today...it was not that bad, I can get use to this.LOL

 

[NikkiQ]

Hi ladies

Just checking in. Still in my braids. Gonna rock them for 5 weeks(2 more to go) and then just get them redone. I like PSing through my transition. Gonna be 6 months post on Saturday so I'm gonna stick to this reggie for quite a while. Cowashed tonight with my Suave Almond and Shea Butter and will apply my Bee Mine growth serum before bed. Can't wait until December for my length check!!!

 

[chelleypie810]

Just checking in and I've been using my wen fig and sweet almond mask weekly. I will be going to the salon to get a roller set and blow out which i also do weekly!

 

[SleepyJean]

do you use the moisturizer in the pink bottle with it, it makes it so much easier to work with, and it is by aphrogee!!! thanks for the update!

I've never used the moisturizer with it. I'm afraid to try new conditioners, because some conditioners just don't work on my hair. I have a sample of it in my hair drawer, so I might use it for a cowash just to see how it is.

 

[diadall]

I tried to get a former SL who is now APL or MBL to come and give us some tips or tell us their journey but I haven't found anyone. Posted a few request in a few threads but no such luck. Sorry.

good you should try the aphrogee moisturizer with it, that is what it is for!

 

[divastyle2010]

it's ok diadall! you should keep trying! we have all the way til dec!

 

[divastyle2010]

checkin in!!!

I had my hair cornrowed under my half wig for two weeks!!! and I moisturized/sealed daily! I also applied megatek every other day and took my hairfinity vitamins. I washed today! I work out daily so it was due, I deeped conditioned under my dryer, and rinsed that out and sprayed my motions leave in, I detangled my hair and put 7 braids in to airdry. I am doing a no heat during my 6 month stretch like last time , but this time I am only using heat when I deep condition after every wash,after this dries I am going back to my cornrows and will continue this process till my 6 months and probably stretch my washing after 4 months till every three weeks.

PLEASE LADIES DON'T FORGET TO CHECK IN EVERY WEEK!!! HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING WELL!!

 

[PinkyPromise]

So I can't remember when my last relaxer was but I think it was sometime in August. I just took my braids down and my hair is like super thick which I love. I'm trying to hold out until December to relax again, but I'm itching to length check!

 

[hair4romheaven]

Although I didn't make it in time for the list I'm in! I see my fam. In here from the sl 2010 challenge. We made it so I would love to continue to grow together.

What is your current hair length?
Sl

What is your regimen?
I was wearing wigs, but just switched up to full weaves. Will continue with full weaves until 8/2011. Wash every 10-12 days and dc. Moisturise daily. Regi simple but effective.

Do you use growth aides?(if so what and how?)
bt or sulfur mix. Vitamins, as well as water & protein intake


currently in a weave but will post pic of my hair before my install.

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

Maybe once a week we could get an APL to come in and guest post. You know tell us how they went from SL to APL in a year?

Since I'm not a guest and I'm actually in the challenge, I won't request to be one of the guest posters but I will let you ladies know what I did to get to APL.....later.... too lazy right now.

But I'm braided up right now so nothing much to say about my hair. Will probably keep these in til Thanksgiving.

 

[PinkyPromise]

Oh, I meant to ask. .

What are the PRIZES???

 

[SleepyJean]

My hair is in a bun. It continues to feel healthier after the aphogee protein treatment. I'm not doing anything special with it right now, but I did plan on using a temporary color for Halloween party.... since it's before my wash day anyways.
