BSL 2013 Challenge

One inch in one month!! I'm so jealous. I don't even get half that :-(

Do you take special vitamins or use MN or some other "special sauce" on your hair??? Spill your secrets

GettingKinky Lol. I had been using MN up to about 3 weeks ago actually. Last length check was Feb 18th. My hair is actually diff lengths, but they all grew an inch. My longest area went from 9 to 10. Shortest from 7 to 8.

Last week i started NJoy's sulfur mix. Too soon to tell with that one though.

I'm so ready for this on Friday

The likelihood of me participating in this length check is zero. I don't think my hair has done much.

I'll keep trucking on till end of June length check. But by then I may be braided up for the summer. LOL.

 

[Seamonster]

Y'all and this straightening mess! I'll flat iron a little piece for the length check. Deal? Lol

Sent from my Android...Boom.

Yes! I have been waiting for this, whoopie party time

Runs into kitchen grabs sulfur, and makes note to pick up Njoy's sulfur mix as soon as stash is depleted. Ya'll not gonna get to keep all the unicorn hair to yourselves

Winter length check is always so dismal; can we get a picture of one of your pretty hairstyles for length check day? How are you wearing your hair for Easter?

I usually get one inch a month consistently using MN. Maybe a little more. My current mix is jojoba, grapeseed and some EOS. My best mix was simple-- MN with wild growth oil, peppermint oil and a bit of grapeseed oil.

Since I already did a straight length check earlier this month, I'm going to attempt to do a wash n go compare using the same products and see if there is a difference. Might be hard because of shrinkage.

Ahhhh it's Wednesday already ladies! Just a few more days until check in time. I have a question about it though (but I won't make it QOTD).

For the length checks that you don't feel comfortable participating in, how about you post a picture of a style that you have been working on or perfected since the beginning of the challenge? Seamonster had a good idea telling bajandoc86 to post a pic of her GORGEOUS hair.

 

[TheNDofUO]

NikkiQ since I've just joined I'll post a picture of my completed wig. Made it from a cap a closure and tracks

That's easy, I've been working on my rollersets so I'll do one last set for this stretch.

Ooooh my scalp feels so much better today! I got lazy last night, waited until the last minute, so didn't do everything I wanted for how long I wanted to do it...but I at least got some diluted shampoo then conditioner in between these tracks & blowdried on cool setting to get underneath the net as much as possible. Just put into a braided bun this morning like I've done for work since I got the install....but my own hair




feels so much better I tell ya!

That's so pretty newnyer!

That bun is GORGEOUS!!! How did you do it. I need details. How long is your hair to make a bun like that?

 

[GettingKinky]

When I was a little girl my mom used to do my hair every day in 2 or 3 braids (with bobbles). I used to always wish my braids were thicker and juicier. She took good care of my hair, but she would brush it while it was dry with a denman type brush every day. So I would lose like a golf ball amount of hair every day.

Now when I braid my hair at night my braids are starting to look like the thick juicy ones I wanted way back then.

Excuse the sweat I just finished my insanity workout.

 

[bajandoc86]

Seamonster & NikkiQ that's a great idea. You guys are too sweet!

 

[growbaby]

I'm sure some unicorn hair will be poppin up in here during this length check

*looks at ImanAdero and growbaby *

Hahaha idk about unicorn hair.. But I ammmmmm excited to LC! .. I've been told I may need to wear my hair 1/2 up 1/2 down for the dance show I'm in next weekend so I guess I just have to straighten (pretending to be upset about it lol)

FYI-- SSI papaya curly soufflé made my hair shrink BAD. Not for wash n gos or twistouts.

Thanks! My weave is pretty long (i'd say MBL to WL) so this method seems to be best to get it into a neat & smaller bun. I french braid each side of my head and about 3 Celies in the back to keep it neat. Then I just use 1 elastic band to put into a mult-braid pony, then get to pinning. I only need to use about 2 to 3 pins because the braids hold it all together a lot better IMO.

I knew there was a legitimate reason that I needed longer hair.

Sorry you're not feeling well...how is baby boy? Is he home yet?

he is doing well and he is at home!

thank you ladies for the well wishes. i kind of just lurk right now, but give me a chance to get back right.

 

[NikkiQ]

OT (as usual) but I just finished taking one of my finals and I got a 94 ladies!! The other 3 classes are gonna be a killer so if I go MIA this week, it's because I have a midterm in medical terminology to take and a midterm paper for mythology to finish up

 

[nazjha]

Where in the heck is the unicorn hair?!!

I'm looking forward seeing a mere hint of unicorn hair, lol! If not, there is always the next stretch or the stretch after that, or ...after that!

Lol what is this unicorn hair you guys speak of??

 

[Froreal3]

newnyer (why am I always reading this as new new yorker?) smh. Anyway, that braided bun is very cute! That is your own hair or did you add a piece?

GettingKinky Yes, your twists are luscious. I'm jealous. Mine will never look that thick.

NikkiQ You go girl! I'm about to head back to school myself. *sigh* I have a long road ahead of me.

 

[Froreal3]

Here is the length check pic. The first one is Feb 18th and the second and third are from yesterday 3-26. I retained an inch of growth. Yay. Hopefully this continues w/NJoy's sulfur mix. BSL for me is the top of the purple shirt because I wear my bra at MBL.

You actually got my username right! I joined LHCF when I first moved to New York, and was of course a newbie to the HHJ world........ soooooo new + New Yorker (NY'er) = newnyer. So you were right. Now that I've recently moved I prob should change but it's nostalgic. And guuuuurrrl naw that ain't my hair. LOL! I have a long sew in weave right now. If I had that kind of hair right now I would be fired right now due to unnecessarily utilizing all my time in front of the darn mirror. I ain't ready....LOL...wait-just kidding hair Gods...I'm ready.

 

[Froreal3]

newnyer lol i knew it. Im from Bed Stuy so....yeah. Lol
