i dust once a month, but i'm scissor happy! i cut about 1/8-1/4 of an inch or less. i could have made MBL by now if i would just lay off. my ends aren't my problem either.

1/8th a month sounds quite doable.
Do you trim on curly or blown out hair btw?Oh, okay. It's because I hadn't trimmed whatsoever since a salon visit almost 7 months ago. In total, I think I cut two, almost three inches but they were worthless and damaged from colour processing so it's okay I hope.
Can you still dust if you have layers? My goal is to have a nice blunt BSL but because of my natural growth pattern and a stylist messing up my hair BAD, I have drastically different lengths all over the place.
My crown and nape grow almost an inch a month of dryer, different texture hair but my front sides hit an inch in three months, if that.Evolving78

my hair grows in layers. when i am natural, i trim in twists. when i am relaxed, i trim with straight hair. if you want blunt BSL, you need to trim on dried straight hair. and don't wait that long again to trim.

I trim every 3mths, using the feye method. My hair grows in layers too. I did trim 2xs last month, so my next trim won't be until the end of july. I usually trim on straight hair, in order to get accurate results.
Sometimes I will dust if I notice any splits or breakage in between the 3mths.

Dced with AOGPB, then shampooed and followed it with SD Razzberry Affair. Currently under a Heat Therapy Wrap smelling like raspberry cake and enjoying a chocolate croissant while DD is napping.
Ahh...feel like I'm in a spa...this must be what heaven is like.

I know this is BSL 2013 but I've been getting questions about diet and exercise which is also need for awesome hair growth. With that being said here it goes. Maybe I will start a thread in the fitness section and tag whoever wants to join. Thank this post and I will tag you when I create the thread.
For my workout people if you don't use this yet I recommend it. Muscle Milk and Ultra fuel for a great pre and post workout shake and before bed if you wish. Its pre digested and gets to the system quick for maximum recovery to build and repair. Mix the two together and it tastes great. I've been using this for years and love it. With the muscle milk since I am a female I only use one scoop. More than that the body will not absorb it. And the ultra I use one scoop before gym and 2 scoops after gym.
Pre Workout Shake: 1 scoop muscle milk 1 scoop ultra fuel
Post Workout Shake: 1 scoop muscle milk 2 scoop ultra fuel
And sometimes before bed: 1 scoop muscle milk and 2 scoops ultra fuel
This really helps your body to recover and not have so much soreness the next day and will replenish your muscles.
I get good prices at Allstarhealth.com the Muscle milk 5.5lbs is $30 and last me for two months and the Ultra fuel 1500 grams is $10 and last about 1 month. Sometimes I do swap out muscle milk for Bsn Syntha 6 - 5.5 for $40 and lasts for 2 months.
I know a lot of tips and tricks so don't be afraid to ask for any advice.
You all have helped me with my hair so why not I help you with your diet and exercise.

I been waiting all day to cowash my hair. I just get so excited. I even went on a conditioner haul today 
so I will definitely get started on that in a sec following a nice DC.
Totally forgot that my grandma has a red rose bush in her front yard until i seen her with some rose petals in a bowl of water. Boy oh boy did some sparks go off lol. I immediately resarched rose water again and its benefits then on how to make it. Yep, im going to make some tomorrow for my new moisturizing spritz for my NG. Super happy right now!!!

Now y'all know I BEEN b**ching about how my hair isn't growing yadda yadda. Well she did put me in my place.
I wore a braidout to church, came home and slept on it and it got all shrunken. So I slapped on a headband and just separated the braidout a bit. I didn't comb it out, stretch it out, nada.
And lo and behold...
Excuse my armpit.
So yah. Imma hush now. LOL.

crlsweetie912 Thank you!
NikkiQ *hangs head in shame* When I wore the braidout on Saturday I was so aware of my ends touching my back. So now I know for sure I need to keep it pinned up etc and wear 'out' styles less.
If I showed you the other pics while I was trying to style her tonight. I honestly was like...where did all this hair come from?!

Whew my hair feels like it's gonna be happy! Clarified, henna'd and now I'm dc'ing. Prolly will go under the steamer the last 15 min before rinsing. I think this was the easiest rinse out of henna I've ever had! The only difference was that I added honeyquat in the henna & tressemme instead of VO5 to rinse out.
I was SO tempted to break out the indigo I bought awhile ago. I'm so torn though because I LOVE the red tint henna gives me...but I know darker hair can give the illusion of thicker hair-which I need A LOT. Darker hair looks "aiight" on me too though. Maybe next time. Do any of you indigo ladies notice any more benefits in your hair afterwards (besides the color)? Like, does it strengthen/thicken your strands more than henna alone?

Yes sometimes I do.... Each Saturday I go to the market and pick up some fresh fruits. Pineapple, banana, watermelon, mango and then make a fruit salad. I then freeze the fruits per serving, and when I make my shakes I use the frozen fruits as my ice so my shake don't taste watered down from regular ice. I also use coconut milk or coconut cream and it tastes almost like piña colada without the vodka though.... Feel free to add the vodka if u wish... Lol kidding... By all means avoid alcohol while working out it will give you less energy on your next workout and breakdown your body even more.

See that's my downfall. Out here, good rum is really cheap and I like to have myself an adult beverage or 2 on the weekends

I think I'm gonna start blowing my hair out and flat ironing it at the beginning of every month. Since I did it this month on the 8th, I might as well keep that schedule going. I want to be able to get it flat ironed for Christmas and it not revert in a day. Plus me and these SSKs are about to go toe to toe up in here.
