I always wondered whose hair that worked on.That stuff was like spraying bug spray on my hair
I guess it's the kind of stuff you either love or hate. I have to use it again to see if I would actually purchase it. I grabbed it when I was visiting my mom.

Checking in. Just gave myself an aphogee two step and am overnight dcing with ms key's 10 en 1. My hair was trying to break. Not bad breakage, but too much for me. It also stopped accepting moisture again. I try other protein treatments but nothing does me like a good 2 step. Makes my hair turn into instant silk.

I was thinking along those same lines. I'm not natural but I'm so mildly texlaxed that when that new growth kicks in I look like a natural. Because so much curl is left and 2 inches on my ends are bone straightens, my hair is so much more tangly. Of course that's all relative because instead of instantly detangling with a dc it takes 3 minutes under running water. That's still longer than I'm used to though.

So I just finised taking down my minibraids after only having them in my head for a week as they were drying my ends out fierce and were too spacy to do anything with. I had minitwists in before that but had to take those down as the ends kept unraveling. So that equates to two weeks of those styles so that's not too bad,right?
My ends felt so awful from the minibraids that I ended up putting them in oiled twists and trimming the ends. I cut off a good bit so I'm not sure if I'll be able to reach BSL but at least my hair feells better. I"ll keep them in twists until my hair products come in as I'm in a dire need for a protein treatment. My head feels a bit oily so I hope that gets asorbed soon. I'm sad that minitwists/braids don't seem to work for me anymore no matter the technique I try. I guess I just have to make due with regualr twists now.

What was your mini braid regi? Mine are very spacey as well due to my fine strands and medium density but moisture is usually not the issue. Were you trying to keep them neat? One of the best things about them is that they get better as they get frizzy!

@NikkiQ
it is time to move on and work towards the next goal lady! so get your starter pic and come on in!
my main goal is BSB. i wear my bra really low, so i will actually be MBL when i hit BSL.
where that tag is on my siggy is my goal for the year. my bra is sitting lower than my tank.
Ohhh no. Not coming in here
. I need 3.5" inches before I hit BSL and I need a trim. Hopefully by April 2013 I'll be able to claim it comfortably.

Well I cross wrapped them at night so they will lay straight. I couldn't control the frizz so I ended up embracing it and it wasn't so bad. I'm awful at parting and placement so I guess if I do revisit I would have to work on that or get a decent professional to do it for me. I'm guessing the cowashing while in the braids also contributed to my dry ends somehow even though I M&S after. The length of my hair was so soft at takedown but the ends ratchet. I like the feel and look of twists better on me so maybe it's just as well.

Ladies! Hoping this message appears as I have two bars on my phone! We have our length check over at the APL Challenge this weekend! When I return to the office next week I will post my new length check pictures!!!!!

I rock them all year round and love them. I also water rinse or cowash daily so that doesn't sound like anything out of the ordinary. However, I moisturize and heavy seal at night and then tuck my ends. I either use castor oil or vaseline to heavy seal my ends. Over time, I've learned that heavy sealing is the way to prevent the ends from knotting up.
Also, are you using coneless conditioners? If you're using cones, how often are you clarifying or using sulfates to wash them out?
GL, if you decide to try them again.

My reggie is currently conefree. I've just been using olive oil or shea based butters to seal when I had them in. I'm just guessing that since my ends were basically loose they had a chance to tangle up and knot on each other. Maybe when I attempt it again down the road I'll just twist the ends as opposed to letting them curl up and coil and perhaps baggy them more often. Thanks for the help though as your hair always tends to be on point.

Hair is officially put away for the next few weeks!
And I don't know why I don't pre poo more often. I pre pooed with coconut oil, then did my usual washing with my Elasta shampoo and this time I used Redken's Extreme conditioner...
My hair felt amazing! And now it's away lol. But I'm going to add that to my regimen for sure. Don't know why I never do it consistently.
Anywho, photo of my big fat kinky twists is attached and I love them!

Is anybody going to start a BSL 2013 Challenge? I know I need to be in it. I'm hoping to make BSL sometime within the year so I can be MBL by the end of 2013.

Probably towards the end of October. That way everyone has 2 months to make that final goal and decide whether or not they would like to join in on the fun!

I've gotten to the point where I'm so close and yet so far to/from bsl. People are noticing my hair and always comment that its long. It makes me feel good, but I'm on my mission for bsl! I don't know if I'll make it by the end of the year, but I'll be pretty darn close.

So I guess my hair is growing, however not quick enough to my liking. Oh these strands of mine. I thought I'd be at least BSB by now, but maybe by the end of the year. I'd have to keep my hair completely wigged up or hidden to reach BSL I think. And that just ain't gonna happen. I like my hair being down and out.

Ok ok so I have neglected the forum.....sorry ladies please forgive me....but I have still been focusing on my hair. I have been PSing with kinky twists for the past two months and while in I have been washing, and moisturizing and sealing nightly. I plan to take them down this weekend, followed by clarifying, protein, and dc. Then I will wait until the following week to relax. From there I will take length check photos. I may not make BSL by the end of the year but if a new BSL 2013 thread starts I will definitely be joining!!!!!!

My longest layer just made APL too bad it is so late in the year or I would put my hat in for BSB on that layer only. Definitely going to access at year end when I straighten to see which challenges I need to do next year. If I make it I will be in here showcasing with the rest, and back in the same challenge next year.

I haven't given up all hope yet. Still hoping to make BSB by the very very end of December. I'm going to keep my hair in twisted updo styles until then. See how that works for me.

Ugh... I'm BSB I think, but I still have an inch and a half to go to BSL (which actually might be closer up MBL to be honest), but I'm gonna keep the faith!
I'm gonna keep these twists in for a whole month (at least I'll try), then see where I am in a bit. I just know I'll need a trim come the next time I get my hair done, which will be in November.
Okay, thinking positive hair growth thoughts!
