Stop frontin, you know me!
Ladies how many of you are doing protective styling for the summer? how do you wear you hair in the summer?
I am thinking I'd do my half wigs for the whole summer, or my lace fronts, I am into Protective styling, I usually use to wear PHONY PONY here PHONY PONY there PHONY Pony Every Where.
FUNNY JOKE, My cousin was talking with me. we got on to the subject of my hair and why I cut it, she goes I know you cut your hair because it was so damaged, I was like My hair has been damaged one time in my life and that was 15 years ago, I colored it to death, I said this time my hair was MBL/WL and I cut it for stupid reasons (made the hubby mad) then she said oh, your ends were horribe, I Was like that wasn't my hair it was my yaky pony tail, LOL! and It was frizzy Brand new out the pack not damaged!!!!!! I laughed. I had to think I rarely wear my hair out, and I have been like this for a few years! (since they came OUT WITH PHONY PONY PULL STRINGS AND COMBS)
I am going to be relaxing Feb. 6, I do my pre-Relaxer Treatment this weekend. I will not be taking pre-pics of my hair. I am hoping we can all do a June 2010 pic for our half year mark, which I will also update my Fotki.
I think I will not get my rinse this time, I am waiting till the following week when I should have my Steamer and I will put it in myself with some Steamer action and see if it last longer.
I'm in the braid challenge so I will be in braids for the summer, I've been doing natural box braids and I'm bored with this already. Been thinking about having some braids installed this summer with human hair, just to have a lil change.
I'm down to post a length check in june, I just won't be getting my whole head done because of the other challenges I'm in.
Girl, I'm praying for BSL or MBL by the end of this year. I want to shut down a lot of naysayers. One of the reasons I joined the braid challenge so nobody would see my length.

I've been wearing wigs and half wigs while out, and a scarf or bonnet while at home. Underneath, my hair is in a bun and baggy about 95% of the time. I've been consistent with my vits (Maxi-Hair) for the most part, and I've been eating healthier and exercising more frequently. I've also been applying MT on my scalp every night. Right now, my hair feels so much thicker and stronger all around! I stretched it the other day and it seemed to have grown alot. My new growth is ridiculous!

Thank you Renibell!
i hadn't ever really thought about that before, but last night i got out the measuring tape!
hubby told me that my longest length (i held the measuring tape at the top of my forehead) is 17 inches and to get to my bra strap is 24 inches, so i guess that means i need 7 inches!
yikes! that sounds like alot!
lately since i've totally revamped my regimine, i have seen around an inch of new growth a month, so IF my hair continues to do that consistenly (maybe it would be better to say IF i continue to do all of the things i've been doing for my hair to be in shape, consistently
erplexed), i should be bsl by the end of august early september 2010.
noetheless, i'm glad this is on until december 2010, because i think i could use the extra months!
HHG ladies!

wow!!!
17inches is a lot did. i didnt measure from fore head to apl, i just took some hair and put the tape against it from my scalp till the end of the hair.did that in the back, middle and front. are you really tall grow? i though apl was like 12inches on most ladies on average?on a different note, what are you doing to get an inch a month girl!!! i want some of that. i got an inch in 6weeks recently but i'n not sure yet if that was a flute growth spurt, have to see. please share some secrets

that sounds about average, most of us seem to need just 4.5inches to make it to BSL. that doesnt sound lke a lot but who knows.
anymore ladies tried measuring their hair?
I measured from my nape and I'm right at 4 inches, I would need about 5 more inches for BSL, I'm 5'5.

everyone seems to measure differently, i actaully pull the hair away from my scalp and measure it from root to tip but i tried this way and i got 6 inches now and 10 for bsl so its still 4inches to bsl. both ways give`the same`difference of 4-5inches(assuming one is APl that is) i think this is good cause if we dont make it we realise we didnt even get 4-5 inches this year, and there might e some retention issues cause i'n sure everyone gets that

I just massaged my scalp with Shikakai and Castor oil. I'm not sure what length I am now, but I believe I have about 5 inches to go to make BSL.

I would love to get my message game on, I messaged once this year so far
bad I know. I would love to try to get it in 1 to 2 times a month. I am just keeping my hair under cover at the moment.
I would really like to know what you ladies are doing with your hair for the Summer? or what have you done during your Journey?
That could give others Ideas on what to do, I usually do Phony Pony's and Half wigs.

It gets soooo humid here, I think I'll be doing my usual summer routine of daily cowashing and airdrying in a pony. I would like to also master the art of the braid out for days when I want to wear it down.

So I've been using a chelating/clarifying poo (yeah it does both things) every 4 weeks. I figured I needed to chelate because I used to use the no-lye relaxer (switched to lye in November). Do you ladies think I'll harm my hair by continuing to use the chelating poo 1x per month even though I've switched relaxers? It also clarifies so I use it for that purpose. TIA
