BSL 2013 Challenge

Time to LOC it up for the night before I do a little bit more studying. Trying to figure out when to flat iron my piece for my official length check this time around. Probably on Saturday or Sunday since I don't think we're hitting the beach up this weekend.
 
I think I'm gonna pass this LC I really want to surprise myself and see how long I can keep this boughetto beehive I got going on for my wigs phillyjampiet and SistaWRealHair from YT got me thinking I might be able to pull this Wigging it thing off until June, wash, dc and wear my hair up in a puff one day and braid back up for 3-4 wks we shall see! Hopefully I'm doing ok my ends look good and I've been LCOing every other day then baggy (on those nites) and castor oiling on alternate nites can't wait to see everyone's progress you all are great motivation #NTD lol!
 
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 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.


I would try MN but I know DH would think I was bat s*%t crazy!! :lachen: I have to think about that one some more before I try it.

OT (as usual) but I just finished taking one of my finals and I got a 94 ladies!! :woot: 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 :nervous2:

Congrats!! 94 is awesome!

How do you apply the coconut oil on your skin. Do you mix it with anything or you just straight apply it. I'm looking for a natural "lotion" type moisturizer for the summer. I used to use shea butter but it never really penetrated my skin and it left my skin oily and slimey.

pelohello I mix it with almond oil and it solidifies while stored, but then I take it out and place it in the shower and by the time I get out, it's liquid. While I'm still a bit wet, I put it on...I feel like :lick:

just checking in. trying my best to keep my hair on my head. sick as a dog. that's all i got.

shortdub78 I am so sorry you feel bad, get your health together!

I just started NJoy's challenge. I'm going to do it for two months and see what happens. It doesn't smell bad but I still am able to catch whiffs of the sulfur, however my bff (who is able to smell a gnat peeing on cotton at forty paces) says that he smells nothing until he's on my scalp lol. No itching at all. I want to co-wash but it's just too cold. :nono:

Iluvsmuhgrass I am using her old mix (only because I happen to have all of the contents laying around the house) and I hope it works out for me! My only problem is, my hair is in twists and the oil seems to be sliding down my twists, like I can smell the end of a twist and it smells like rosemary??? I'm worried.

I'm boring. My hair is in twists and I use the LOC method these days, and NJoy's old sulphur mix. That is all. Told you, I'm boring, lol.

itsjusthair88 hey sometimes "boring" is the best for your hair. Trying dozens of new products and techniques would murder any progress I made.

This could be good because it can help growing hair to not feel like watching paint dry. I've been finding other things to focus on myself, it helps break the monotony of growing hair.

That's exactly why I had the reaction I did when DH took my pic. I had been in such a routine with school,working out,LOCing my hair,and usual duties around the house that I didn't even think much when it came to my hair besides moisturize and take my vits.

I'll be 3 years post relaxer next month ladies! I can't believe it's been that long already. Even though I didn't do anything last month for my 2 year nappiversary, I'm debating on what I should do to "celebrate" 3 years.
 
Just got done condish cleansing and cowashing after a monster workout. Braids were loose at the root already before washing them. Probably take them down Saturday and bun it again.

i had one for several days. i ended going to the ER. it ended up being bronchitis again. i have been washing my hands like crazy and wearing a mask. the gave me the Zpak? and i finished it yesterday.

I finished my Z-pak on the 16th of this month and felt pretty much back to normal on the 19th. It's almost over! Lol hope u feel better soon.
 
Over 3 months post relaxer... Back to washing in sections. Trying so hard to avoid manipulation and stretch w/o breakage. For the past two weeks I had to up the protein because I was getting some while detangling :nono: . I'm about 1.5inches I think past APL. BSL needs to get here ASAP

So I got my hair braided in small box braids. I'm excited to have a low maintenance ps....all I have to do is m&s. Bad thing is pregnesia got the best of me and I forgot to take pics of my LC, but I look to be 2 inches away from APL. I hope to have a nice growth spurt and claim APL by next LC in June when I come out these braids.
