BSL 2010 Challenge

Reecie and Sipp, thanks for the hair porn ladies! :infatuated: Just lovely! :love2:
I'm hoping to be tickling BSL by April my next touch up.
 
Congrats ladies!

My hair is doing well! I've been sticking to my regimen and have kept my hair baggied under my wigs every day.

My edges were a problem area for me but since using Mega Tek almost daily, they've grown in quite nicely.

I'm 23 weeks post texlax. Can I make it to 30? Let's find out!
 
I'm now 7 weeks post out of my 15-week stretch. I'm still going strong. I just added avocado oil to my regimen this week and I'm in love (Coconut oil is still my fave oil, though!).
 
I co-washed with NTM conditioner and Rusk Calm 60-Second Hair Revive, and followed up with Rusk Calm Detangler. It wasn't very moisturizing so I had to follow that with Wave Nouveau moisturizer and a touch of HE LTR on the ends, and sealed with coconut oil. My hair is airdrying in 4 ponytail twists.
 
^^ I used the Rusk 60sec. also.:yep: I put it on dry hair for about 30mins. :ohwell: It's in a little bottle. I had forgotten about it. I like it. I did a rollerset. I dont have the detangler though....(pj here:drunk:). Well, I have really been playing attention to my ends, instead of just 'globbing' it on. I think its helping.
 
i have started braiding/twisting hair as a side hustle, and my latest client is a hair junkie like us (but just a lurker on LHCF)...she gave me black soap, mango butter and avocado butter today!!! i have the HUGEST problem with sulfate shampoos drying out my hair (although i refuse to buy anything else until they are gone), so the black soap will take the place of that while my family uses up the shampoos. she told me how to make moisturizing liquid black soap with glycerin, oils and honey (my faves) in it so i will be ALL OVER THAT! i probably won't use the butters till these crochet braids come out, but i have been dying to try them, so i'm ecstatic that i have them now!!

Do you mean the regular bar soap black soap you can from the bss?
 
Grew another inch since 1-30-2010. My hair is growing very fast and looks healthy, but I am shedding alot. Going to try garlic conditioner. I heard it helps with the shedding. I have been surviving on braidouts.

What? Thats an inch in less than 4 weeks!! :pullhair:

What are you doing to your hair/head/scalp? :clubu::clubu:
 
Hello again, people! I am sitting under the dryer. I haven't roller set my hair in about a week so today I am pampering myself. Lately I've been wearing my hair in a ponytail with the ends tucked under with a Good Days Hairpin. Here is my regimen for the day.

1. Shampoo with Colorese Shampoo (I really need to write a review on this).
2. Deep Condition with Mane 'n Tail Original Conditioner (tried and true).
3. Apply Motions Nourish as a leave-in conditioner, apply Proclaim Glossing Polish to ends before roller setting.

I will flat iron my new growth with my CHI flat iron. I'll probably be doing the saran wrap thing tomorrow to get my hair a little flat.

I haven't used any natural products in a while (Bentonite Clay, Tea, AO GPB Conditioner) and I miss it much... but I'm trying to save my money.
 
I clarified this morning. I'll do a Nexxus Emergencee / Apghogee 2 minute then DC with creme of nature.

After that I'll just put my hair in 2 braids. That should last about 3 days, then I'll take them down moisturize and rebraid until next week.

I'm going to visit my stylist on 3/20 so I won't use any heat before then.
 
I'm sitting under the dryer as I type this post. I'm just dc'ing using my deep conditioning staple, NTM Deep Recovery Mask, and avocado oil. Today's my second dc'ing day of the week. After I dc for thirty minutes, I'll rinse it out and put some VO5 Moisture Milks in Strawberries and Cream. As always, I will air-dry, using HE Long-Term Relationship and coconut oil. Once 80% dry, I will braid it and place it in a satin scarf for the night.

Yeah, but I can't seem to find it at my BSS. They just started carrying shea butter (although my hair hates that stuff pure), so maybe there is hope for the future. I can't wait to take my crochet braids out all of a sudden...I just want to see how washing and sealing go with these new products.

In the meantime, I used my African Royale BRX Braid Spray and ran some aloe vera gel through the ends of my crochet braids yesterday. I snip away at little hair balls/knots on the ends about once or twice a week.
 
I've pretty much been wearing protective styles (twist) and spritzing daily. I also do scalp massages every other day with Moe growth oil. I think I need to start taking vitamins and drinking more water to get over my hump.
 
Checking in... Been applying mega tek to my scalp every other night so Sunday I applied wheatgerm oil as prepoo for 1 hour, washed then DCed with Aussie deep moist 3 min miracle and NTM. Left. With no heat for like 6 hours while I just louged around the house. Rinsed and air dried.

I'm also in the newbie challege and my captains gave us a baggy challage for Feb. I really liked it and I've seen a difference in mt hair. I'll probably keep with it.
 
I'm still chuggin' along. I co-washed and put my hair in a wet bun on Sunday. I'm still in that same bun--hoping to keep it until Thursday or Friday. Just throwing the scarf on it at night. I'm usually low-mani, but thought I'd throw in a little no-mani here and there.
 
Hi ladies! Just checking in. I got my twists redone on Saturday and I wound up getting a trim. I'm not sure about my length (I'll try to do a length check next week). My length check for January is in my 2010 Progress album if anyone is interested.

Ciao for now!
 
checking in...my set of crochet braids is officially two weeks old now and i couldn't take not having water on my head, so i shampooed with diluted motions something-or-another (trying to get rid of it) by spraying it into the parts in my cornrows. after that, i conditioned with HE hydralicious...just rubbed it into my cornrows and let it sit while i showered, then rinsed. afterwards i applied some cantu shea butter leave-in to the ends of my cornrows and re-bunned them, sprayed african royale brx braid spray all over my cornrows, and applied aloe vera gel to my edges. i might sit under my hooded dryer for about 30 min before my client comes at 2pm...she wants two-strand twists, so i'll wash and DC her hair before doing that. i feel gooooood now :)
