Are you using any growth aids or vitamins?
 
Sitting under the dryer enjoying the heat...lol...in an effort to use up some stuff i pulled out some mizani (not a true fan) but I'm hoping tonight's dc turns out ok. I lasted all of one week in the poo/dc on Sunday. I love that its my prerogative to change my mind!!!

Hope all you ladies are doing amazing!!!

Update: almost a month with my second set of braids - a month the 17th- and I plan on keeping them for a whole another month. Never tried to go two months with the same do but since I was able to retain a lot of length with my first set, I will give it a try.
BSL December 2013, hopefully this time it will happen.
 
Since I double posted, I will use this spot to say I oiled my scalp with liquid gold and put a baggy on it and went to rest. Still think I'm a little sick from this weekend, but I'm back at work and there's no rest for weary. Gonna take a quick nap and cowash and DC later. Also have to pack for the weekend to see SO.

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.

Hey Y'all!!
Just checking in from an awesome weekend with my hunny!! Weather was freezing and nasty ole rain so I rock my rollerset from Thursday night in a low ponytail for Beale Street, a high bun for bible study and banana clip for the zoo. Great looks all 3 days if I must say so myself!! :lachen:

Anywho, I just finished relaxing my homegirl's hair and I'm not gonna lie I got mad skillz yo! Worked it with an ORS relaxer and a great deep conditioning treament. Hhhhmmmm shoot, I might start relaxing my own head......SIKE!! I love my lye Design Essentials relaxer!! That's my pampering "me" time and I ain't giving it up!!

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.

Ok NikkiQ, try Vitacost.com for your oils or even GNC.com. I love vitacost prices and their variety of product availability. I have found my latest oils at the local GNC store, but I do not know if they're also sold online. I also say GNC because their hair, skin and nails vitamins come highly recommended. Check 'em out!!

I didn't...I have to wait until March. I want to do a length check when I flat iron on Thursday so I don't want to dust yet. I want to see how much growth I had with using MN and liquid gold sulfur.

I hope it works too. At least it provides some structure as to when to trim and dust. I'm will probably be trimming for thickness mostly.
 
Finally found a length check t-shirt that is within the range I am willing to pay, but I don't want to pay shipping. Alas they had a free shipping special the week before I found them Hope they toss me a bone in the name of love.
 
Cowashed, DC with ORS hair mayo, followed with the new ORS Repl pack. The old is better. :-/. Will be stocking up on the bottles. Anyway, I really wanted to bun today but I didn't want to put my curls away. I forgot what a good styling product JBCO is for me. It slicks my hair down and makes my curls pop. I just use a good amount on freshly conditioned hair, nothing else. So here's a pic of my ponytail and then I put some pins in it so it wouldn't rub against my shirt.

I put a lil baby pompadour in the front of my hair and put the rest in a banana clip ponytail. I don't see how females wear their hair down EVERY DAY. That crap was annoying for just ONE day lol. Probably gonna do the hair bow bun tomorrow.
 
i decided to do a oil treatment. i got a baggy on now. don't want my hair to dry out. i am going to cowash and dc again today.

i broke a hair strand. i guess....

i'm still not feeling well and got a lot of stuff to do around here. i have been folding clothes and rearranging drawers for days now. i did not need to get sick. pray for me ya'll. i'm tired and have so little time left.

Ahhh the anticipation...:drunk: but I know I'm still a long way from BSL too. It will probably be more like Friday. I think I'm going to get the salon to wrap my hair when I get out on Thursday and not unwrap until Friday. I'm flying to see SO late Thursday night. The only thing is airport security does not like hair pins.:nono: I always get an extra look.

jprayze your hair is looking good! Are you still using MN?

NikkiQ your color :lick: I think I'll have to copy you when Im finally all natural....in 50/11 years =\..and it looks like we're at the same length!!! When do you think you'll hit BSL...I'm thinking oct/nov for myself, because of dusting/trims/cuts

Onhergrind09 I love your goal pic!!! Your hair looks good! The hardest parts for me is hopping over the APL line, your where I want to be in a few months:yep:

Thanks! Yes, I'm still using MN...using it in an oil mix every other day.
 
I'm getting tempted to bc (to a fade) and just be natural. When I relaxed my hair I thought It would be soooo much easier than natural hair but it's actually even more difficult for me. Moisture/protein balance is the biggie for me and also split ends. I miss wearing twist, I miss not have split ends or tangly hair. The only thing I didn't like about being natural was wearing an Afro, so maybe this time around I'll just wear twist and wigs? I wanna give it to at least November (that's when my senior recital is) to see where my length is. But I'm really tempted now. I'm currently almost bsl, like grazing it. I hope to be grazing mbl or full bsl by November.
