I want to thank my fellow BSL 2010 challengers because I was really contemplating before my renewal not to renew. But because of you guys I did renew I know this wasn't known by many but I wanted to say thanks for keeping me in it to win it :)

Who used the authentic Aveda products? Are they really good.

Im thinking about buying a sample size of the moisturizing/dry remedy trio. Just to try it out. The knockoff are great, I got to see what its all about.

I'd like a review please :D
 
Hey there! I'm doing a personal No Trim Challenge for the summer. Trimming away relaxed ends is so fun, but if I don't stop, I'll never graduate BSL and get promoted to MBL. Anyways, I'm still grazing, but in another 10-12 weeks, I hope to be a much fuller BSL.

Does anyone else get more impatient the more they log onto LHCF? When I don't come to the board for a few days, I kinda forget about my length goals. I want to take a haitus, but I don't have that much self-control. The hope of hair porn brings me back nearly daily!
 
lol I know exactly what you mean sipps100! I did take a hiatus though for about 3 months and i've been meaning to take another one but it's soooo hard to leave...even for a while lol there is too much to miss!

I don't want to see you ladies go :(
even for a little while.

Yes though I am like HUffing and puffing wondering why tomorrow isn't today. LOL

What is weird is that is how my hair grows too, I watch it or length check it seems to be the same length I ignore it and just let it do it's think and I am like oh :lick: you sneaky devil you!

So now I have it braided and I am hoping every four weeks to do it and take some pics towards the end of the year and :spinning:

I don't really like braids, but I may let my oldest DD braid it into a bun with very large cornrows. That way she won't feel bad if I take them out weekly. I can't go longer than a few days without wanting to DC and comb through my hair, but I'll shoot for a week at a time.
 
Yes I love it when I have the control not to tug at my hair every time I pass a mirror and then see the length suprise me :grin:

I wish I could cornrow, I would do the front and leave that in, this would leave the back loose but it usually the front section I fuss and faff over anyways

I love doing this, even though my braiding could use a lot of practice. You could also do those flat twist thingys. They are a lot easier than cornrows.

thanks for the suggestion! i think I may just need to use some wax because I get a ton of flyaways...or beesway...and i need to learn to part straight lol
 
Been neglecting this thread! 1 month til my official length check!! :grin:

I've been in single braids (just my hair) for 2 weeks. Gonna take these out and wear a twist & curl for the upcoming week. I'll probably henna, too - it's been months. After the twist & curl I'll probably do twists, then a braid & curl.

Then I'm straightening ... I think my longest layer is about an inch away from BSL now. The shortest is at SL :rolleyes:
 
I'm still here!!! But, I'm just keeping cool until my next length check/relaxer in September. So pretty much, I'll be braiding out my hair this entire summer. It's too warm in Southern CA to keep up straight looks.

Hello Ladies,

How is all going?

Hope you all have a Happy Memorials Day!

I've been MIA for a bit, but can I just say WOW, your hair has grown like crazy. Whatever you are doing is working well for you.

As for me, I relaxed after a 40-week stretch and cut off some bad ends. Found out this week that I'm pregnant, so that may be my last relaxer for awhile. I'm DC right now because I've had alot of shedding. Beyond moisturizing at night and sealing my ends, I've been a bit lax about haircare lately. Time to step up my game, I've been inspired once again by JJamiah.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!! That's very exciting. AND, pregnancy grows your hair like crazy! At least, that's been my experience. Here's wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy! :yep:

Aww Thanks Mom2be *NorthernCalGal, I must say to you :congrats:I am so Excited for you. :)

Yes most of the time your hair grows like crazy keep up your hair care, take your Vitamins, please so the baby doesn't take what it needs from your bones.

Have you tried Alter Ego Garlic to put a damper in the shedding. :) *or another Garlic COnditioner.

Try to find a protective style to get into if you feel exhausted from the baby. I chopped my hair off and wore twist for my first son, next son longer twist and braids (natural for both kids).

3rd son I was relaxed in phony ponies. 4th son natural again, LOL and washed and went (wash and goes)

Any who SOrry to babble.

Ladies it is so good to see you in here, some of you have been gone for so long I was about to have Chelz issue her famous Warrants :badcop: or missing notices out :missing::D Kidding.

I am glad to hear you ladies are doing well and closer to your goals. That is what this is about Progress!

I don't favor them heavy but they are hiding under my LaceFronts so I don't put my hands in it all the time.

Me and you both are doing this, I am going to rock the pieces though, they are off my neck and face so keep it braided up and lace fronts.
 
I should be doing my homework. LHCF is addictive sometimes.

Anyways, I had day one of swimming lesson yesterday. Not to bad. As far as my hair, I wet my hair first then added Biolage conditioning balm,sealed with EVOO and put on my Speedo swimming cap. I knew my hair was going to get a good conditioning.

The swim cap suprise me, it didn't come off or slide off, like I thought. When I returned home, I took off the cap, my hair was very soft and silky, applied a clamp and sat around on the couch for a minute then eventually fell asleep. (swimming is a complete body workout, tired when done). About midnight, woke up wash my hair, with Old version of CON Clarifying shampoo and follow up with Aphogee 2 min Kertain Reconstructor. My hair felt strong and soft. No breakage.

Also I purchase the sample bottles of Aveda Shampure-Shampoo and Conditioner and Damage remedy-Shampoo and Conditioner.

Probally try out in a few weeks.


Almost 2 weeks after my relaxer and still no breakage, no more protein treatment prior to my relaxer service.
 
Happy Memorial Day. Just like everyone else, I know you all got some cute hairstyles for today. I want to give a shoutout to "SHTOW" she did a tutorial on Flexirods on flat iron hair. Well I I decided to give it a shot and im glad I did. However my hair was still kind damp, but its still came out good enough for me. Well I know threads are worthless without pics. So heres a couple.

Excuse my camera I didn't clean my lenses and one of my flexirods got wet while showering, however I still like my hair. I did it myself too. Double applaud.

Thanks again SHTOW for the tutorial.

Looks good! Funny I saw SHTOW's yt also and tried it on sunday. My curls were too tight so I put hot rollers in it and it looked just perfect. I didn't take pics but I plan on repeating the style this weekend for a big NY concert (Summer Jam for my NY/NJ/CT heads). I'll take pics then
