BSL 2010 Challenge

Now I do a protein treatment every 6 -7 weeks. I tex-lax every 6-8 weeks and don't use any heat just braidouts. I usually moisturize my hair with a mixture of shea butter and BB moisturizer, but just started using a homemade mixture of shea butter, amla oil, caster oil, coconut oil, and sulphur. I wash once a week, but have been slipping on my conditioning. Hopefully this will kick me back into shape. I am at about 8" (7 3/4 in).
 
Ladies the list is updated * I use this for my own personal reminders as well as if your name has for some reason been missed you can contact me.

Ladies I WILL UPDATE SKIPPED entries immediately others who post after this message I will add you on January 8 the last day I'll be updating the list so that it is a one time shot. Don't think I didn't see your post. :)

Ladies we have 209 Challengers as of today come on and lets kick some BSB/BSL BUTT! :)

keep us posted, I'd enjoy reading the updates.

Thanks for the rec! I'm going to go pick it up today. I hope you're feeling better as well.
 
Hi all I'm just checking in with my starting pic & regi

I shampoo and DC w/ heat once a week and will usually do a prepoo using oils or protein/moisturizing condishioner depending on how my hair feels, I rollerset or airdry in twists

Wigs and buns are my PS

I stretch for 4 months in between my touch ups and have just started to self-dust and just took off about 1/4 of an inch on 19th Dec

I think I'm around 3" from BSL

I've been sick with a fever for the past 3 days and I think my poor hair is taking a hit. It's sooo dry now :nono:

Can anyone recommend a good, not too expensive, DC?

TIA

I hope you ladies feel better too. Yesterday I ran across a thread where someone was nice enough to include this tutorial. Thought it was good stuff for naturals and relaxers on how to DC dry hair.

I'm so glad I was introduced to this site by Hairsnob. The information posted is really good. I plan to view the tutorial again and try it myself. I never realized how dry my hair looked from my current picture until I saw this tutorial. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/user/patchouli85#p/a/u/1/NegFfvnthBg

Just a suggestion......
 
^^That is how I apply my DCs.
I am still bunning at the moment, I cant wait until wash day tomorrow my head itches LOL.

Nelli if you don't mind me asking what have you been trying to slow down your shedding? A lot of ladies swear by alter ego garlic treatment condish, some ladies are adding garlic powder to there conditioner and let it sit over night then rinse out with good results. I personally am having luck with tea rinsing. Hope this helps, good luck:yep:

Wow that's a lot of challengers, I can't wait to see everyones big reveal, Good luck ladies,:grin: I know I need it:yep:
 
I'll be 13 weeks post tomorrow...I wanted to relax at 16 weeks but my hair is tangling and shedding a little too much during wash day so I may relax at 14 or 15 weeks this time and only go to 12 weeks then on...I'm still doing twistouts and bunning only and weekly herbal rinses/DCs...I don't have as much new growth as I would like...I'm gonna start back drinking carrot juice and chlorophyll daily and hope they help with growth like before.
 
Im 10 weeks post, I have 2 more weeks to go. Im excited because this is my longest stretch. Next time I am going to stretch longer because this stretch was kinda easy. I used half wigs and cornrows to help me
 
I'm DC'ing right now. I got a new flat iron because it was on sale so I am going to give it a go and get a proper length check. :)
 
I will be doing a dry DC today using Nexxus Humectress (its only a small amount left), CON purple, squirt of ApHogee 2 min, and coconut oil.

Then I will wash with Aphogee Damage Poo and then do a cowash with Salon Care Honey and Almond Conditioner to soften my hair up a little.
 
Regimen:
Shampoo & condition every 1-2 weeks. Detangle only when under running water from the showerhead. Main hair style: flat-twisted bun. Moisturize and oil hair daily. Wear a satin scarf at night.

Products your using:
Aussie Moist Shampoo, Conditioner, and 3 Minute Miracle Deeeeep Conditioner
African Royale BRX Braid Spray and Hot Six Oil

Starting Hair Length:
APL

Goal Month:
September 2010

Pics for starting goal:

Straightened with heat September 2009:

Since I will be avoiding heat straightening, I'm going watch how big my bun gets during this year. However, I may take a monthly picture of stretching a section of hair during wash day.

Nelli04 just checking up and seeing if you've managed to get the shedding under control.
 
Ok ladies I have to bow out graciously. I did a length check todayand I am already at BSL! I'll do a trim but it will still have me too close to BSL.

Good Luck you guys!
 
regimen update: i needed to hide my hair from myself and give it a well-deserved break. i am rocking twists (with my own hair) for the remainder of the winter. i will leave them in 2 weeks at a time, moisturizing and sealing as needed. afterwards, i will wash, dc, detangle, and redo them. i have been wearing them in buns and updos mostly still because i want to keep the ends off my shoulders. i hope to be touching BSL by spring kickoff! lol

I haven't done a whole lot, i was slightly exaggerating :blush:...but I realli appreciate the advice...I thought decreasing the number of time i go to get my hair straightened and moisturizing it would work, but it hasn't.

I'll try the tea rinses though, since I do have tea at the house, thanks!
