BSL 2013 Challenge

You ladies are so quiet today! What a difference a week makes! I'm smiling again, wearing my Twistout :-)

Giving hair lots of TLC but not focusing too much. Hoping my regrowing period will be short.

Im.in braids and loving it! With extensions. Getting.some hair holidays by not having to do much but moisturize.

Faster prepared to go to work. Love it. Normally not allowed to braid at work but f..k that discrimination . I.braided anyway and thats that!

Im keeping thèm in for either 4 to 6 weeks. Then my own hair for à month. Then rebraid or conrow or weave (didnt weave for over 8 years)...
I hope this reggie will get be back to.bsl. Retaining is hard for me and this fine hair.

You need a "Don't touch my hair" T-shirt!!! Folks just don't know how to act-- weave checking on the slick! Lol

Getting ready for a "Hair Day" today, got to get me and dd's hair shampooed and deep conditioned and I am past due for a henna treatment. The grey hair is trying to take over my hairline and I just cannot have that foolishness going on! I'm 5 weeks post and have been so busy between work, kids finishing school, trying to pack up to move and the boyfriend visiting more often. I've been getting to do my hair every two weeks and while its not suffering--I haven't pulled off a sexy, flowy 'do besides a braidout! I'm killing buns these days. After a deep henna, I'm going to do a rollerset and love on my hair some over the next few days. After all, I feel another 12 week stretch coming on this texlax.

Is it just me or is anyone else have insane weather? It was in the 70's this week, 50's on yesterday and 40's today! The water park was supposed to open this weekend and we're pulling out scarves.....REALLY? This is NOT May in da boot!

Have a great hair weekend ladies!

P.S-- I just remembered that my 1 year relaxed hairversary is June 9th....mmmm I'll have to do something special!

I just LOC'd my hair for the first time since I got it straightened a week ago. It was so thirsty!! I can't believe I never used to moisturize my hair and use a curling iron on it every day. No wonder it never grew longer than collarbone length.
 
Gonna treat my hair to a spa day this weekend starting with an overnight prepoo, a Wen wash, a reconstructor then a nice long warm DC. Some yummy leave ins and sealing with 100%pure Argan oil ;-). IM so busy with working and motherhood I never get a chance to pamper myself anymore.and I miss all of you guys.

Tell me about it...seems like I don't know what's going on with anyone. Hope to get back in the mix now.

I actually miss my hair...I'm ready to get out of these braids and pamper my hair.

coolsista-paris how did you used to weave? I'm looking to start try wearing a u-part, excited to have something different for a change

I used to do straight weaves with some of my hair out (i was relaxed.then)

Now...i if i do à weave i want it closed no hair out. I m thinking of doing one with bangs. It may look better (saw that on à feW girls). i liked it.

I remember how i used to scratch my head so bad !lol maybe cause i wasnt moosturizing underneath (i knew nothing about hair care then)...
 
Today was wash day. I prepooed overnight with EVOO, then washed with Amala Cream Rinse, DCed with Sitrinillah, and will finally do the LOCB with Aphogee Green Tea spray, Avosoya oil, Whipped Creme Ends Hydration, and Almond Glaze. :lick:
 
Back from dropping the bestie off at the airport and doing some damage at the outlet mall. Time to get back to focusing on my hair again. Wash day will be tomorrow and I can't wait!

I don't know why I keep taking breaks from henna. It really makes my hair stronger. I've been researching the Nioxin system 3 a little now to see if that really helps with thinner looking hair as it claims. Gotten mixed reviews though so still looking.
 
Took my sew in out early, I missed my hair.

Sigh, I'm in set back city.
My hair is a lot thinner and my ends are jacked.
Now I'm just gonna baby my hair like crazy.
For our June check up, instead of relaxing I may just flat iron.
I'm low key thinking about shaving it all off and just starting over natural :(
 
I messed around and let my subscription lapse!!! Had to renew quick! :lol:

NikkiQ I found a replacement for my Lustrasilk Mango & Shea Butter cholesterol. I'm using Hollywood Beauty Olive Cholesterol. It is the truth!!! It does have mineral oil in it BUT it's far down on the ingredient list. It's very rich and thick and makes my hair feel so good. I think I paid a little over $2 for it at Walgreens.

lindsaywhat :bighug: Don't be discouraged lady! Let's just figure out what will help bring your hair back to the condition you want it. No shaving!
 
Hey girls, I have an update. :blush:

I have not relaxed this year at all and so due for a touch up. I flat ironed my hair today and saw this! :grin: I am quite pleased with my hair. I know I have a "tail" and I cut it but it grows back this way so I am going to leave it. I hope by Dec to be a full BSL.

I agree...don't shave. Sorry to hear about this....I know the feeling all too well with my sew in setback just a few weeks ago. Bald spots in my already low density fine hair and everything! :-(
The good thing is you have a lot of supportive ladies on this thread...and I'm positive you'll be back on the HHJ in no time. Although I had a clear setback, & my hair is thinner...I noticed that after a few washings, babying my hair, and a henna treatment, my hair isn't as terrible as it was after the initial shock when I 1st took the weave out. DEFINITELY not where I need to be, & yes I know I'll be frustrated w/ my thin ends for awhile, but I have a lot more hope now that I'll be back by summer's end. Just give it a little time sweetie.
