: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:

I won't do my length check until the second week of April when I relax. I am always disappointed on relaxer day when I have just recently straightened for a length check, the element of surprise is gone. Relaxer day is like the gold medal of stretching as it is in the Olympics...hard work paying off day.

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

I ended up moisturizing my hair and that seemed to stop the itching. Guess my scalp was dry. :ohwell: Going to cowash this weekend and see if I can go another week. Want to see if I can make it at least a month.
 
I wouldn't say I had a setback but I did a big cut. Many of you know one side grows so much longer than the other. I kind of evened it out.

So back to square one.

Its going to be all good. You've inspired me to go ahead and do some end clipping myself. We are going to make our goal even still and have great ends too!!!

thank you ladies! so much love in this challenge!

he is here now with me and the first night wasn't too bad. i was such a mess bringing him home. i cried pretty much at every song on the radio! :lol: i felt so emotional and so blessed. i went through a lot of things throughout my pregnancy and now it's over. new life begins for me and my little family!

thank you all for you kinds words and support! things like that can move mountains in someone's life.

oh, i was able to shower and wash my hair! :lol: it's in a bun, nothing special still. i still could use a stronger protein treatment. hopefully, i can get to the beauty supply store.
 
This week I'm wearing a wash n go using MJ's pillow soft curls. I love the consistency of it (lotion) and the way my hair feels and looks (very natural). But the smell...my hair smells Downy Fresh. It's not a bad smell, but it so strong! Still, I think this is my wash n go staple. I'm finding it frustrating that I need a different staple for every style. Today I have more shrinkage than yesterday, but I rushed out this morning and didn't take as much time with applying the product and smoothing.

Maybe this weekend, I will try a roller set. I actually have some free time on my hands and the best part about doing my hair at home, it's FREE!
 
I really think my recent "healthy kick" is benefiting my hair as well. Working out 5 days a week, eating healthier, drinking lots of water, and taking my vitamins. Cowashed today after 45min on the elliptical. Nothing felt better than that water let me tell ya! One my hair dries, I'm gonna clip a little off the ends of each braid. Last trim was NYE so it's about time for a dust :yep:
 
Here's my braided bun. I like the bun (although I wish it were bigger) but from the front it looks so boring. I need to learn to flat twist or something to make the front look cute.

DCing on dry hair overnight with Shea Moisture Deep treatment mask and EVOCO. I love the way this DC feels going on. I'm gonna rinse tomorrow after work
 
I trimmed about an inch last night. I now feel pretty confident that my ends are in better condition. I won't be pulling out the scissors again until summer.

Wow according to the morrocco method, the spring equinox is the perfect time to trim!

March 20-21 — Spring Equinox
are the best dates to cut for spring and the ultimate dates for shaving one's head.

Also these days are the March dates for Root Work. These dates work directly with the roots to shock the entire growth cycle, effectively aiding your hair and scalp in all aspects of hair growth and scalp improvement.

So guess who will be doing a little dust tonight? After this, the scissors are going away. :-)
