BSL 2013 Challenge

Finished off one bottle of biotin today. I think I'm gonna order some other hair,skin, nail vitamins before I finish off the 2nd bottle. Nothing fancy though :lol:

i think my strands just cant handle the heaviness and tension of the sew in itself (the braids, the pulling of the braids when brushing/combing, the thread, etc). everytime i get a sew in i have this issue. ive officially learned my lesson that no matter who does the sew in for me my fine hair just cant handle it.

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.

congrats on bsl! looks great
OT i like your nail polish lol
 
does anyone that wears weaves or u-part wigs work out intensely on a daily basis? I'm prepping myself for when I make this wig hopefully this week but I just started doing some circuit training so I anticipate working out and sweating 6 days a week, and I know when wearing wigs or weaves we have to make sure our hair doesn't stay damp, just wanted to know how you ladies deal with that
 
gonna do the Aphogee 2 step today or tomorrow. i don't like breakage. i'm on repair mode, so my hair can be strong and healthy for my next relaxer. i'm just not good at being a DIY when it comes to relaxing my own hair. i'm sloppy and slow. oh i had a difficult time putting my clothes on over my head. my hair was down and kept getting caught and tangled up. my baby like to grab my hair and it takes everything to get his tiny paws off of it. oh and my SO keeps laying on my hair. i have to tie it up when sleeping next to him.

^^^I've been noticing breakage with my hair too. I decided to up my moisture and keep my hair bunned. I was doing weekly protein using aphogee 2min and joico reconstructor shampoo. But I think I might have too much protein. So I plan on doing protein either every 2 weeks or once a month. I'm hoping I caught it in time and didnt cause a set back.

yeah i plan on just sticking to bunning too. my hair does fine with heat, but i just don't feel like bothering with it when it is down. i used too much product in my hair Saturday and it caused my hair to become sticky while it was still damp. my strands were just snapping off when i was finger detangling. i lost several strands.
 
i bought some ORS pudding and detangling spray for my DD. i just used it and i really like it so far. we will see how it does this evening when she gets home from school. i really wanted something that would detangle her hair and smooth/hold it without drying it out.

so if anyone is looking for a new detangling spray, i'll keep you posted on how well it does this week.
 
Hair is washed and DC is on in 4 sections. I used the CON sulfate free moisture and shine shampoo with argan oil. I gotta say....I LOVED how my hair after using it! Didn't feel stripped. Very soft and curls were poppin. This may be a keeper for me ladies :yep:
 
I am also a member of set back city! I try not to think about it too much. And I was considering a sew-in, but I cannot take that risk on my fine hair.

I'm going to a gala and I have to find a formal style, even better if I can find one that doesn't use direct heat. I was thinking about a roller set up do...I need to find some pics for inspiration.
 
Took my grad pics yesterday. Styled my hair in a low "bun" style with a flat twist in the front. I had to find a style that looked ok with and without the hat.

Gorgeous growbaby! I love the hair and your makeup looks amazing too!! I wanna see these pics whenever you get them back. Look at me demanding pics like I'm somebody crazy aunt or something :lol:
 
shampooed my hair with that garlic shampoo. i had to stop and get my children situated, so my hair air dried. my hair feels really soft right now. this stuff doesn't strip your hair at all. now i am about to do this Aphogee 2 step treatment.

Ooooooooh the pains of long hair!!!! I love it!!
 
Last nite i got a chance to cowash and dc. I used Nexxus Humectress to dc with. Im liking it so far. My hair feels light and fluffy. I applied my leave in and sealed then put on my bonnet. Today i ended up spritzing my hair and sealing then ended up in a nice headband with a wash n go look to it. When i get back home i need to thaw out my rosewater and make another batch.
 
growbaby congrats surga! pretty juicy bun too!

i am now dc'ing under the dryer for 20 mins. just rinsed out the 2 step treatment. my hair felt really strong, but not like straw. i proceeded with shampooing out the residue of the treatment with my garlic shampoo, followed by a quick rinse out with my Tresemme Naturals conditioner.

after i dc, i'm gonna rinse, tee shirt dry, and lightly apply my leave-ins. my hair will be back in a bun.
 
Ohh yeah. Some pigtail action going on at the end of wash day

i just didn't feel like showing my squirrel face today, but this was my hair this past Sunday. i think i am just going to bun it for awhile. i'm not in the mood to put in the effort to wear it down. i will be happy when my hair can cover my boobs!

 
It looks so pretty shortdub78!! And I'm gonna shake you with this "squirrel face" nonsense. We've all seen your face woman. There is no way you would look like a squirrel even if you tried!

ok i will stop! :lol: i just see myself looking like a cartoon squirrel at times, but i will stop it. thank you for the compliment and the kick in the pants.

oh i did get weave checked! i don't know if it counts, but my aunt asked how did i get my hair that long and my grandmother said it was a weave. i told them it was all mine. then my aunt said it must be due to pregnancy, but i said i had grown my hair out before. plus, i didn't get any extra growth or spurts during my pregnancy. i have the same growth rate and was shedding like crazy for 7 months.

That cracks me up!!:lol: Everyone has a "reason" for your hair being long! I don't wear my hair out often; so I've had my daughters ask me: "is that bun all your hair"! I love it.
 
I'm already getting tired of this sew-in and it's only been about two weeks almost! I love the hair but don't like my leave out. I should have just left the front out and not all around. Another thing is the hair isn't as curly as my hair so wearing it as a wash and go like I had planned wanted is out. It blends well with my blow dried hair. I'm gonna take this out in a week and make it into a wig. It will be fabulous for that.
 
I know we have a long way to go until our next length check, but I'm feeling pretty confident that we're gonna have a lot of you guys graduating to BSL Samurai status when the time rolls around :brucelee:
