For anyone who has trouble remembering to take their vits, take on a regular schedule (I take at least 1 vit each meal-- this also ensures that I'm eating at least 3 meals a day) and you can download a med app to remind you (I have Walgreens). It had helped a lot! I still miss occasionally (when I get travel and my schedule gets thrown off, but it is much better!
 
Started a prepoo with oils and honey at about 4pm this afternoon, washed it out around 12am now I'm deep conditioning overnight and then roller setting in the am...12 weeks post 2 more to go!!!!!
 
Vitamins:

Multivitamin with iron
Cod liver oil
Hair skin & nails (containing biotin)
Hair skin and nails (containing horsetail)

I had been really good at remembering to take them but recently I've been slacking!! Got to get my act together!
 
I bought a beautiful hat from Etsy.com. Will post pics later.....wiggling and half wiggling until the spring kicks in. The hats add some pizazz along with the headbands.
 
I did an ACV rinse today for the first time in a long time and I loved it I'm going to start back doing these at least biweekly
 
Morning Ladies!!

I have started to baggy my ends more since it's been soooo cold here in Philly. By the time I get home my hair is just so dry:nono: I decided to continue w/ M&S every day and applying my MN mix everyday too. I recently started back running and so far it been great. Im doing the couch to 5k program. I hoping to do the Broad Street Run next yr here in Philly. FYI: The Broad Street Run is similar to the NYC marathon. I think with me running it will help with the blood circulation in my scalp & to lose weight of course:lol:

For my vitamins I take: 1000mcg of Biotin and 10mg of Silica 3x a day. However, I think I am going to stop with the vitamins at the end of this month b/c the hair grows not just on your head but everywhere else:look: at least for me.:lol:

@CharnellG, your hair looks good. I actually thought it was your real hair.

@Ashawn Arraine, I attached the hair clip I used for the french roll. I dont remember the name of it but I know I bought it at Sally's for less than 4 bucks.

Oh, I'm def down for a Miami meet-up. Just let me know when and I'm there:drunk:

Happy Growing Ladies!!

Um...so I realized my hair isn't ready to play with the big boys, after wearing it out for like a day it got all frizzy and crazy. It looked great all day but as soon as that 2nd term for Pres. Obama was announced, I got a,little carried away. Sigh...so it's back to buns for the forseeable future till bsl!

Time to get back on my vitamin kick again. Biotin and maybe GNC's hair,skin and nail vits. I don't wanna fool with the new Nioxin pills that are supposed to be coming out (and I sure as HELL ain't payin a lot of $$ for the old formula on Amazon). Not too sure about all the other vits everyone is taking.

Question time ladies!!!

Are any of you ladies taking any vits to help with your HHJ? If so, which one(s)?

I take Hairfinity regularly. Been on it since January 2012. Seeing good results.
 
I've just been moisturizing, sealing and bunning. Same 'ol, same 'ol.

I do think I have breakage from bunning. I don't really know what to do about it. I don't bun very tight and I try to use different things to bun besides elastics. I have to bun 5 days a week, and there is only so much moving the bun around I can do because I have to be able to wear my patrol cap (I'm in the Air Force).

I dont do an ACV rinse but since I dont use sulphate poo I always "wash" with ACV before I use my cleansing products. Similar to what Naptural87 does before the terressentials wash. I concentrate on my scalp. LOVE IT!!!

I have a pill organizer that I keep in my lunch bag ... so I normally remember to take during the week at breakfast or lunch ... on the weekend I usually dont remember :look:
 
Wow! Great job SimJam. Very thorough and informative. Never heard of SWOT before, but it does seem like a great way to plan and focus on achieving your goal. Might have to look into doing my own SWOT one of these days :yep: Very motivating. Thanks for sharing.

Ladies I just completed my BSL 2013 strategy !!!!
I actually did a hair SWOT was very informative (yes Im idle lol)

I got the idea to do this from NaturalJael blog http://www.naturalhaircommunity.com/natural-hair-challenge

here is my SWOT I've used this to develop my roadmap to BSL .... and beeeeyond :superman:

My SWOT

you all should try it ... its quite informative :yep:
Click to expand...

This is awesome!!! You were very detailed and specific, I think you'll meet your goal next year because if you can dedicate the time to do this, you must mean business. I might consider creating a SWOT myself :-)
 
Chile Im here at work and needed a break NikkiQ

we use SWOTs as part of our planning strategy at work all the time ... its old school but effective.

you can apply it to anything ... saving towards something, personal improvement ... dont know why it took so long for me to apply to hair lol

I just started viviscal Oct. 19 so it's really too soon to tell anything yet.
 
Deep conditioning. Blew the dust off my dryer. :lol: haven't used it in a while. Wow! I had twists in my hair for a MONTH STRAIGHT. No twistouts or anything. (Until yesterday and half of today) I felt that my hair felt longer and bigger. Could be because I haven't seen her out in a while. Now I'm going to bun for a month. Starting tomorrow. Here's my hair from today. Excuse my ashy face. I had just washed it and my skin gets tight and dry after! :/
