BSL 2013 Challenge

I'm going to touch up my flat iron from last week this weekend. I haven't worn my hair down since Monday, but I'm gonna go ahead and let it swang this weekend. Really can't wait to wash, DC, trim and do a twist out next weekend.

Also I have some hair that I purchased for crochet braids months ago, but I'm trying to save money right now so I'm going to wait for the install. Plus I better wait until SO and I take our pics together since he insists on my real hair in the pics lol...he doesn't care how I wear it as long as its real, washngo, twist out, straight just real :-)

Everyone have a great weekend!
 
Its 430am & I'm dc. I couldn't go back to sleep so I decided to get a jump on my hair. I have a hectic day 2day so I'm glad I'm getting the jump start.

That's smart! I'm up too, so I got up and put my MN oil on my scalp.
 
shortdub78 it's a pity i'm just getting over a cold and as much as i would love to wash my hair and try my knock off curl former i just :nono::nono:. I'll wait until next week when i'm a little better.

I finally feel confident that i will hit BSL in June and i am thrilled that my hair is making a turn around after eliminating heat tho i've never used it much in the past. Moisturizing and sealing more often has helped a lot too and also using Ayurveda powders to wash my hair.:yep:

Ok, first let me start of by saying that I am happy that my hair is still on my head and appears to be healthy. But geeeeeez when am I gonna make BSL?!? I was hoping I'd be a lot closer than this after my touch up today...seems like my hair was the same dang length last touch up! I'm getting frustrated...I know I'm watching my hair too hard now. Ok....vent over. :-(

I feel the same way. I'm thinking my hair is now getting thicker as oppose to longer, I'll know for sure in 8 more weeks.

Hello Ladies, I have not been on this forum for sometime. I missed this thread. My hair has been mostly in braids under my wig or a bun. I texlaxed yesterday and I am loving my results. My hair feel so soft and is still maintaining length.

So yesterday's wash was a nightmare... I started prepooing around 1pm and didn't finish my hair until 2am =\... I did an Aphogee treatment and turned into a sticky mess then after I finished rolling my wet hair I broke my dryer, luckily my hubby was able to fix it so I could use it but it added an extra hour and a half at least to the whole process... I was so tired by the time I got into bed
One positive was I always add honey to my prepoo but I added some to my deep condition and omg my new growth/natural hair is sooo soft and easy to work with, I'll def do that from now on... Oh and I'm 27 weeks post =)

I add honey to my deep condition as well and it works for me. It definitely helps the new growth that much I will say. Hope this new method works for you!!!

Your hair is looking good!
 
Did a length check today and I'm still not there. :ohwell: Maybe another inch to go. My sides are full APL now. The front still has another inch or so to catch up.

I thought I would be there by now but I guess not. I did trim some hair when I straightened first of the year so that could have set me back. I should be there by summer though.

I'm sitting under the dryer now waiting for my twist out to dry. I'm thinking about getting it braided again in maybe 2 weeks or so.

Hi Ladies,

This weekend I plan on doing a WnG. I havent done a WnG since I've discovered braidouts. I will def post pics if it comes out nice:grin:. I have been watching mahogony curls utube channel. I think I'm gonna try her way. Before I would apply tons of gel and scrutch w/ my hands and towel. But now that I know better I will scrutch & smooth only with my hands. I am also going to apply a light reg conditioner (not a leave-in) and then the gel.

I'm still luving the dutch twist. I have the front in a dutch twist and the back in a french roll. But because I'm starting to miss my hair and I'm REALLY trying hard not to flat iron until out check-in, I'm hoping that this WnG curbs the itch:look:

I'm starting to see more of my NG but my length (when I do a pull test) doesnt show that my hair is growing. Does that happen to yall? Maybe once I straighten it it will show, cause I know when I 1st started using MN, I didnt think it was working, but when I straightened my hair, I was happily mistaken. For yall texlax ladies, is it hard to tell which is your NG and which is the texlax hair? It's hard for me too tell unless I'm like 5mths post.

Happy Growing Ladies!:drunk:

I have a hard time telling my texlaxed hair from my natural hair too. I'm 15 weeks into a 16 week stretch and it all looks the same. Sonce i cant tell the difference sometimes I think I should stop texlaxing and go natural. Other times I hate the shrinkage and think I should bonelax. So for now I'm just continuing my transition to texlax.

Hey guys, still bunning and junk. I have decided to texlax in March before our check-in, so I've been doing a lot of research on that. I've put a pic below of the type of buns I've been wearing with Marley hair. The one problem is, I am still feeling some tension on my edges with my buns, I don't want breakage, so I want to figure out how to lessen the tension even more. I'll shampoo and DC next weekend and maybe wear a twist-out or braid-out; I want to trim as well.

I love your bun!!! It's so full, I want my bun to look like that when it grows up!
 
I'm sitting at the car wash waiting for them to finish my car and this young girl came in with her mom with the thickest most delicious MBL braids. I'm so jealous!! In sure if her hair were down it would be at least WL.
 
*peeks in* I've been lurking yall. I just made APL in the back and am hoping to get to BSL by end of summer (maybe August). I have three inches to get there. Is it too late to join? :look:
 
I can't keep up with this thread, BSL2013 ain't no joke.:lol: Today is a lazy weekend, I'm doing a protein treatment than a deep moisturizer and back into braids I go for the nxt 4wks.

I've been lurking before I officially joined. I don't think it's too late to join.
 
Wash day has finally come to an end!
I clarified with Kenra, heavy protein treatment with Aphogee 2-step, tea rinse, steam DC with a mix of Joico MRB, Roux PC, cocoveda oil, and creamide oil mix. I applied Darcy's botanicals daily leave-in and now I'm air drying using the scarf method. My hair is happy :-)!
