BSL 2013 Challenge

[trinity8mod8]

growbaby maybe I should revisit using sulfur oil. I've used it before, but I never saw increased growth from it. What kind do you use? The main problem that I had was it coming off on my pillow. I had to start sleeping with a baggy, but then it would still come off. Do you have that issue or do you apply it differently?

I think shampooing once every two weeks is good too. I read somewhere that even though people wash their hair every week that it normally takes 10 days for our scalps to replenish the sebum. And the lady that started the GHE only washes once per month. I think I'll switch to every 2 weeks as well.

Thanks for sharing

I use MTG mixed with JBCO. I put it on very lightly in the morning and massage it in. It's usually not an issue with my pillows by bedtime. That's good to know about shampooing thanx for that.

Thank you all .. My normal Reggie I just cowash & DC once a week shampoo every 2 weeks take my vits and m&s. the things I changed in march were consistently taking my vitamins, m&s 2x a day and applying my sulfur oil. Sulfur always gives me great growth, idk y I'm always so stop & start with that stuff.

I dusted my ends while in braids a few weeks ago and my hair thanked me for it. Probably won't do it again for a few months.

Well back to my Celie plait/wig regimen. This daily cowashing/bunning stuff is not for me

Coming out of lurk mode to say thank you for all the hair porn ladies. I enjoyed every progress pictures. Congrats to all the ninjas. Boy this a no BS thread; you can see the dedication.
Update: enjoying my new natural hair journey. 3 month post BC still going strong. I refuse to LC until maybe August. Been wearing my hair out since the BC, but it's time for some serious PS. So will be getting kinky twists after my birthday at the end of this month. Good luck ladies, and see you at the next length check.

OMG, I henna'd and am doing a hot with stinky neem oil. It is the only oil that stops breakage in it's tracks for me. Love the henna color; but I got a little breakage last month with it.

 

[BraunSugar]

I am getting back on top of taking my vitamins regularly. Can't be half stepping. I have to have hair on my brastrap by this next length check or I'm getting rowdy.

Getting my roller set done at the hair school now. If I don't take pics tonight, I definitely will tomorrow.

Still working on perfecting my at home technique but in the meantime...this is a cost effective alternative.

Hey ladies! School started back up, so I had to step back from the hair for a while (which was best!). I'm in fat twists, I had some smaller ones in, but for some reason, when I took them out, I was having a few problems with knots in the middle of the twisted hair that I had to work through for a loooong time, and in some instances, I still lost hair! It was very frustrating

I've been using the NJoy sulfur mix (original version) still, but I think I want to switch to MN, we'll see...is anybody else using it?

I also refreshed my color with a burgundy red color, it's still not super red, but that's okay. That's it for me. Congrats to everyone who made BSL, hope to meet you there by July or September! HHJ, ladies!!!

Picture update LC
Length check taken on 11 weeks post hair.. I could of swore i was farther. Flat ironed but poofy none the less in some pics. Wrapped hair and added oil to get flatter in the LC shirt pics. My longest layer is 2.5 inches away from bra strap (scraping it) and 3.5 from claiming it? Don't know if I wear my bra high or low , but that's how I wear it so that'll be my reference point. I'm at line 3.5 on LC shirt. I've had two trims since the start of challenge.















I call this Undeniable APL lol. It's APL with poofy roots and ends. B4 I would keep questioning it.

MY HAIR IS OUTGROWING MY CURLFORMERS! #ohtheagony

"Outgrowing" is good!

 

[Cattypus1]

Clarify day, pre-touch up protein...11 weeks post, 1 week to relax. Got some mad new growth but my length-check last week was not encouraging--at least it feels good and combout is smooth as silk. Gonna be awhile before I get to BSL but when I get there I won't be having any of these raggedy-a$$ed ends! Adding some GSO to my regi.

 

[Meritamen]

Just gave my hair a good shampoo wash and deep conditioing. Feels so nice to give my scalp a massage under running water, so relaxing.

So sorry to hear. Go to the hospital now!!! Let some one look at it, be kind but firm about your concerns regarding surgery. Feel better

 

[SincerelyBeautiful]

Please go to the doctor; it could save you a lot of pain so your body can heal faster.

Go to the doctor ASAP, as in now! If ur bleeding slowly inside your leg you could develop compartment syndrome and LOSE your leg verses a really simple small procedure.

If something is fractured or torn swelling and inflammation makes any attempt at correcting it much more difficult. Small procedure turns into huge procedure!

If I'm scaring you, good! Go now! Praying for you!
