BSL 2013 Challenge

[GrowAHead]

So I was in a wedding this weekend and got my hair done by a stylist (for the first time in over a year) And she flat ironed and trimmed my raggedy ends! I was SOOO Excited. (even though I thought the flat iron temp was a little high ) So you know I had to come straight here to post pics!

I'm 13 weeks post right now so I'm hoping to gain a little more before I relax in late May/Early June.

 

[NikkiQ]

Looks great GrowAHead!

 

[GettingKinky]

They're getting a bit longer. Idk what I'm gonna do when we go back to the states and I have to actually leave the house again. I'm getting spoiled to not doing my hair.

Saw a few things at Curl Mart that I've wanted to try and heard good things about like a few Oyin and Jessiecurl products.

Oyin and Jessicurl have some great products and you will love them. Jessicurl was my first all natural product. I won it in the naturally curly contest; turned me into a product junkie

NikkiQ
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.

You had me going until the bolded; how much fruit is used per serving? What size is a serving?

eta: wish I had some of that cheap rum for my vitamin drink/pina colada

 

[kinky curlygenie]

Oh no youv just reminded me that I need some of Jesse's products I love the baby butter thing I had a sample and it smelt awesome, plus it kept my hair looking shiny but not greasy- ** sneaks off to write up my wish list

Still here. On week 5 with a weave.

 

[tiffjust2002]

Hey ladies,
Just checking in with a pic.



This is freshly washed hair with no product, that ish is BARELY touching but I'mma go ahead and claim it.

 

[Tonto]

update: After wearing Fanta (my wig) for a moment, I had a weave for 2 weeks; however, I had my cornrows for 4 weeks. I took my weave out last Wednesday and now I don't really know what to do to my hair. I think I'm gonna go back to my wig or maybe get another one. My hair has never been that long in the front. I didn't want to do a length check for the back. I will be waiting for October-November to see if it's closer to bsl than before

 

[JosieLynn]

so i did what i said i would never do, went ahead and bought weave....just bought virgin peruvian hair in "body wave" and a lace wig closure from Rosa Hair Products on http://www.aliexpress.com/store/502658

Planning on making a u-part wig with a closure and wearing it for the rest of the summer....i don't want to be tempted to wear my hair out because I am famous for the afro puff in the summer and that is when ALL the breakage happens so i've bit the bullet and made this large investment...being a broke grad student is real smh but i'm going to get my money's worth, I will be taking care of this hair VERY well and wearing it on and off for possibly a year or until the tracks fall off

Now i'm anxiously awaiting my hair!!!!

Tonto if your hair is that long in the front, I bet it's pretty damn close to BSL in the back!!

I don't think my hair really grew in the last month :-(

I'll have to see what it looks like tomorrow and compare it to November's hair pic.

Can't wait to see the pics so you can get a whoopin like bajandoc86. Stop doubting that your hair grew. I'm sure it did.

I know... ::hangs head in shame::

On another note: does anyone else's strands feel softest when their hair is absolutely filthy? My scalp is itching like crazy, but my hair feels soooooo soft lol.

Hello beautifuls, just coming to share that my hair is STILL growing faster than ever these days (well for the past 2 months at least). Again, the only thing I added was using my sulfur mix a minimum of 4x a week. I've also been doin something else as well. after poking around in the inversion thread (the grow an inch a week), I've been inverting my head 4 mins a day for a week every 2 weeks since late march. I've never had growth like this and I can't honestly say which of the 2 is contributing but something is working! 1st pic is February 24th I believe and the second from tonight. HHJ!

I saw the inversion YouTube video and debated trying it. How many minutes do you do it for each day? Sulphur mix didn't work for me, but congratulations in your progress!! BSL goal met!!

I've been doing the inversion thing too and have noticed some growth. I do the modified version of it. I cant remember the ytuber I got it from, but its basically you bend your head over your sink as if you are about to wash your hair for 4-6min every day. And your suppose to oil your scalp prior to the inversion.

ImanAdero, NikkiQ is absolutely right! You may be very pleasantly surprised when you do your length check. Make sure you come back and let us know.

growbaby, congratulations on your beautiful progress! I can't wait to do my next length check. I wish my back looked like yours! I have roll city going on back here. So I will be wearing my length check tee. Can't be scaring folks. On another note, I'm going to have to look into this inversion thing to see what it's about.

shortdub78, if you're looking for a good garlic conditioner to go with your shampoo, I LOVE Alter Ego! It's a little expensive but to me it has been worth it.

pelohello, how long have you been doing this?

I'm on week 2 of my mini twists and they're still looking good. I have a few in the back that have loosened. I'll just re-do those. Not sure if I will make it to third week though...
