DanceOnTheSkylines, I love your mini twists! I so want to do them, but I'm a lazy slug. I just need to bite the bullet and do them. How long did it take for you to do yours?

Thanks girl! This time I did loose-strand twists, which are about 3x the size of my mini-twists. Any twists usually take a day or two for me, but that's because I take a lot of breaks. I'd say you can do them in 5 hours depending on their diameter, how stretched your hair is, and the length of your hair. If you get tired, just throw it up in a pony tail and continue the next days. You don't have to dedicate a whole day if you're short of time.
 
Me and my Celies have been reunited and it feels so Goooooooood! Sorry. I just had to sing it as I typed it. In a good mood. It's Friday and yesterday's wash session was one of the best I've ever had. Barely any shed hairs. No broken pieces. Gotta get back in the groove of taking my vits. Mom usually has Biotin that I can take, but she was fresh out so I slacked off. If I wanna make BSL by my birthday (and perhaps MBL by the end of the year since I am a CLBW sufferer and BSL and MBL are about the same anyway), I need to get back into the game!
 
This morning I had enough time to put in a set of chunky twists...I just can't wear my hair loose anymore, it takes too much manipulation and me and 2nd day hair have a nonexistent relationship.

Anyway, I did another round of Henna and this one didn't turn out as well, I think it was because of the mix I used, but that's okay; lost a little hair, but I know it was because I keep putting off that protein treatment. I'm going to bite the bullet and go buy the Aphogee.

HHJ!

I'm tooooo pumped to see that pic! .. I was just thinking about that last week and I'm super ready to take another water hair flip pic and see the length difference :)
 
GettingKinky I do very heavy weights for a female... My husband makes me push myself to the max.

Day 1 - chest
Day 2 - back and bicep
Day 3 - shoulders and triceps
Day 4 - legs

After legs one off day then start back with day one. Cardio as needed since my body fat is low.

Took down my flat twists of 5 days and cowashed with Aussie 3 min moist and went to work. So a relaxed wash N go? It's dry now I like the look.

In order to combat these SSKs I'm going to blow dry and flat iron my hair once a month. Plus I want my Christmas flat irons to last longer before fluffing up. I gotta stop being so paranoid about using heat.

Checking in: Nothing new to report. Been oiling with NJoy's new mix every night. I try to co-wash twice a week, but most times it has been once (or shampoo). Sunday night, I co-washed, Dced with SD Vanilla Silk under a Hair Therapy Wrap, moisturized and sealed with Darcy's Pumpkin Seed and GSO with a little SD End-Tegrity serum on the ends.

Last night, I did a quick co-wash, moisturized with Darcy's Cocoa Bean Smoothing Cream and sealed with GSO.

Today I did a nice hard workout. I'm beat...ready for bed.
 
Think I'm going to throw this semi-perm color on my hair tonight. I didn't even but it y'all, it was given to me so...I guess I will use it.

Wash day/night is starting now.

pelohello me too! I've been venturing to the health area and now I've been lurking in the skin care area. I need a reggie for my face. I should give it at least as much attention as my hair.

Hey ladies I had to go back to find my first post because I wasn't sure if I had officially joined this challenge.

Since me last post my hair has growning pretty good. I'm oiling my scalp every night with Njoys new oil and I've committed to PS until Dec. combined with eating better, working out and drinking lots of water I think I can make it.

Yesss! I'm obsessed w/ the health & skin section. From reading those boards, I decided 2 start taking cholera(sp). I'm still reading that thread though. I've also started making my own face & body exfoliates. I really like the threads with the body transformations too. Its def helping me not to obsess over my hair, however every now & then I think I'm balding cause of all my shedding, lol.
