BSL 2013 Challenge

Just wanted to check in and say I finished taking the twists out tonight so it literally took me all weekend.

jprayze I take my hat off to you, I'm so glad you didn't run up in here with any "I ripped out my hair" story (that would definitely have been me). I can't wait to see pics of your V day hair :yep:

I feel like I am so close and yet so far from BSL.... :ohwell:

gabulldawg This is exactly how I feel, especially with the NG shrinkage, I'm trying to keep the faith.

Angel of the North, thanks for your well wishes. She's 100% again!

KiWiStyle I'm so glad to hear that, all the best for Wednesday.

I'm looking forward to this coming weekend (I know it's only Monday!) I'm going to henna this weekend. I love Henna day!!!

deedoswell now that's what I call enthusiasm :lachen:

Ladies using different oils and taking vitamins where are you purchasing your products from? At a store locally or online? Trying to find a good place online to order a few things from since it can't be found on the ground here.

NikkiQ I buy most of my oils from BSS or off of ebay, I try to buy organic where possible. If I wanted vitamins, I would buy from Holland & Barrett's, but I don't really take them, just buy them :lol: (I threw out a bag full two weeks ago, mostly out of date). The only hair vitamin I have bought is Priteva and I ordered direct, I've been taking antibiotics so I haven't been taking the Priteva for a few weeks, I intend to start again when I get back from Africa.

Did a length check and I'm satisfied with my progress so far. February 15th makes my 3 and a half year growth mark and I've come a long way from my cocoa puff lol.

Miss AJ Great progress, your hair looks lovely and thick but more importantly healthy :yep:

I'm officially joining this challege :).

Onhergrind09 , theNaturalWonders and nazjha :welcome3:

I'm in love!!

SunySydeofLyfe Me too, your hair looks great, you did a really good job. I've got some hot rods, I want to try them, but only if they're gonna come out like yours, I may try them out around summer time :yep:.

No bun today but I still had a ps, wore my hair up and under a beanie since It was a bad hair day...

Last night I washed, roller set and wrapped, this morning I did a bs flat iron so I redid it this evening and dusted my ends. Tomorrow we be exactly 6months since my last relaxer! I'm so proud of myself, I've still got a long way to go tho

Angel of the North you have one of those adorably round heads that I always wished I had. I love your bun!! My head is so long, my high bun just looks bad on me. I know my long head and long neck are the reasons it took me so long to get to APL, smh.

Today's my birthday!!! Excuse any typos im a lil tipsy lol. But I finally found the Shea Moisture Moisture retention shampoo and I'm super excited to try it next week. I took my corn braids out yesterday to do a good wash and DC. Now I'm trying to get my mom to redo them tomorrow so I can rock them for another 2 weeks. I'm a little over 3 months post trying to make it to 6 months!!!! Pray for me:)

KiWiStyle Thank you. You are the 2nd person to comment on that in the last 18 hrs (the other person was IRL) :lol: I love your buns and all your other styles, you have been a real inspiration to me this year :yep:

I may not be at BSL by my BC anniversary at the end of May. I say that because I'm going to do a nice trim after I remove my twists. I'll probably take off 0.5"-1". As long as I have reached full BSL by the end of the year, I'm good. :yep:
 
I'm planning to start trimming by the morrocco method. I don't plan to trim more than quarterly but plan to dust very minimally every month and I will use this calendar (unless I'm in a PS that won't allow for trims like the Senegalese twists). I will focus in the thickening dates because I think that's what my hair needs the most. It's growing well in length but some areas are thinner than others. I think this is something where you see the effects over time so I will be observing for the rest of the year. (SN: I'm going to posting to my LHCF blog to keep track of my heat usage, trims, and products.)

February 11th and 12th are the days to cut for length for this month, according to Morrocco Method lunar chart.

IDK BraunSugar you were pretty damn close to BSL last time I saw a pic of your hair. You may be able to hit BSL by May even with a little trimming.

Good luck lamaria211! Fingers crossed for you :crossfingers:

I'm due for a trim this month anyway so I'm gonna trim by this moroccan method for length and see how it goes. Judging by my progress so far, I don't see why I can't make BSL on my 4 year hair growth anniversary (August 15).

Gonna spend my lunch break hair product shopping lol don't judge me. Nothing big though, I think I want a container of cantu Shea butter leave in since consistent use of it is doing WONDERS for one of my BFFs.

jprayze and alanaturelle i buy everything off amazon... But be careful, price check you items with your bss/Walmart/target/etc... I was going to buy some Lekair Cholesterol Plus until I saw the price was $20... Used to buy it at Sally's for $1.70 but they stopped selling it, went to Walmart and it was only $2
