Do you mean you want a weave like that? I can see two or three layers of tracks/clipins in the crown on the photo?

Do you mean you want your hair streaked with blonde highlights and deep low lights? I love the way her color is done.

Do you mean you want your natural hair to be that long and thick? If so, me too. Although I am assuming she got the thickness from adding clip in weave to her natural hair, I would still like to try to get my natural hair that thick and long.

I mean I want my hair to be that long and thick. I think I have about a year to go for the length. I'm not sure if I'll ever get the thickness.
 
growbaby I'm transitioning from bonelaxed to texlaxed. I stopped bonelaxing in Dec 2011. I've finally settled on 16 weeks between touch ups. My stylist does mine and she leaves it in for 10 minutes total time. I think my texture comes out close to my natural hair. But if she smooths it even a little it comes out almost perfectly straight.

growbaby, yup I'm a texlaxer:weird: I texlax using Linange Shea Butter Texturizer. I was suppose to texlax every 3mths, but I feel like I dont have enough NG to so I'll try to do it every 6mths to once a year depending on how my hair feels.

I'm currently in yarn braids. I plan on taking them out this weekend (it will be 10 weeks). Depending on how my hair looks (retention, my ends, any knots/tangles, etc.), I might keep this as my go to protective style...I'll post pics this weekend
 
Just LOC'd the hair down. That African Pride oil mixture I got Sunday smells great! I kept sniffing my hands after putting it on :lol:

I am gonna have to get a length check shirt. That will make this easier. The blue one is the starting point. The white one is folded @ the bra strap. Doesn't look like anything has changed. It's tough for me 2 take these pics w/o Dh help :)

So I don't think I'm going o make it to even a month with these cornrows in. My scalp is itchy and I already cut the thread. Going to try to keep these in until the weekend and see if I can make it another week after that.

hey BSL sisters! i just came home yesterday evening. my delivery was successful and i had a beautiful bouncing baby boy! he was 7lbs 12oz. he was so active the whole time. when the doctors were preforming the c-section they saw him moving and kicking in the womb. he came out kicking, crying, and peeing! :lol: he was a hungry little something too! he was sucking on his thumb and fingers like his life depended on it!

i will share more and try to post a pic. i didn't take any pictures, but his dad did. he wasn't able to come home with me last night though. they kept him to finish is series of meds and for observation. he had a lot of nasal congestion that was messing with his breathing. it was heart breaking leaving him. i went to the special care nursery often or they would bring him to my room for us to spend time together. he is such a sweet, hungry little baby!

the nurse has him on a wonderful feeding schedule and i plan to stick with it. he takes 4oz and sleeps for about 4 hours. but he turns into a monster when he wakes up!

he knows the sound of my voice! it's very calming to him.

as for me, my recovery seems to be going ok so far. since i got home, i have been trying to take it easy, but i can't help myself. plus, my little rugrats bombarded me! :lol: they told me they missed me, then turned around and starting asking for stuff!

i tried my best to look decent in the hospital daily. i got up, showered, combed my hair, and put a little makeup on. it made me feel better. my hair is holding up fine. i have just been keeping it in my bun. i plan to wash Wed.

Meritamen have you used a braid spray or anything to soothe your scalp? Maybe cowash them.

I flat ironed my hair yesterday and discovered that my hair reached about 2 inches past the top of my bra strap. At first, I was like :yay: Then, I inspected my hair and was like :cry: My ends looked damaged (ssks galore, split ends) and so I had to trim it a bit. I went a little overboard on the trim (kinda addicting) and had to stop myself. Now the right side is a little shorter than the left. :ohwell: Now my hair is just grazing the top of my bra strap. To make matters worse, my ends STILL don't look right! What the heck?!!!

At this point, I want to be at FULL BSL, with thick, healthy ends.


~Current hair length: grazing BSL
~Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd: Natural
~BSL goal month: FULL BSL by December 2013
~Current Reggie and styling choices: I've been doing absolutely NOTHING these past 6 months :sekret:
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL?: DC 1-2x week, LOC method, PS via cornrows under a wig, Apply either OCT, MN, or NJoy mix 3x a week.
~Post a beginning picture: Will post as soon as I get someone to take pic for me. (People look at you strange when you ask them to take pics of your hair while you stretch it...lol.

Hi Ladies!!!
Wow there had been a LOT of activity in here!! I love this group, it always feels like I'm coming home.

Congratulations on the baby boy shortdub78!! I hope he's home in no time. A similar situation happened with my son, he swallowed amniotic fluid at delivery and ended up in the NICU. We both went home after 4 days so hang in there and catch on your sleep.

growbaby, I too am a texlaxer since I relaxed after being natural last June and I love my texture and the thickness I retain. I've never been one who liked thin, see-through relaxed ends so this is perfect.

Here's my hair wet:

Hay ladies, just a quick check-in. Just on a whim last night I decided to do a yogurt dc. Used 1 single serve yogurt, 1 tbs molasses 2 tbs honey. I wanted to eat up that mess soooooo bad lol.

Anyhoo slapped that on then went under my heat therapy wrap for 30 mins. I really liked it. My hair is soft and fluffy.

Congrats shortdub78 !!

:welcome: Incognitus!

11 days til length check time ladies!!! :woot: I can't wait to see everyone's progress. I know it's gonna be awesome!

I had a hair dream last night (of course) and when I did a length check around the summer, I was well below BSL already. *sigh* I wish that comes true :lol:
 
Just got some samples from HAIRVEDA in the post. I'm looking for a new moisturiser/butter. I got Whipped Clouds, Almond Glaze, Green Tea butter and Vatika frosting. Which is your favourite?
