BSL 2013 Challenge

[Evolving78]

Hair twin I had horrible pop shedding and hair loss after all three of my boys and Motions CPR was a LIFESAVER for my hair!

My ends were looking awful after I air dried on Sunday. They were all tangly and rough and bushy. I was tempted to snip them off, but I just dusted last week. So I LOC'd them, combed them with a fine tooth comb and put my hair up in 2 bantu knots. This morning I have nice smooth, well behaved ends! I think I need to change my air dry process. Drying in 2 loose ponytails isn't getting me the results I want.

shortdub78 ronie I'm so glad you guys figured out the issue with shortdub's hair. This board is awesome!

shortdub78 I knew the ladies on here would find an answer! You have thick beautiful hair and will recover from this - if that happened to me with my thin stuff I would definitely have had to do major cutting!!! So glad you are on the road to recovery now that you found the cause!

thanks ladies! and yes hair twin, you know i bought that because of you. i haven't used it in a while. i will get that and the moisture plus.

The problem with hardcore PSing is that I feel like I don't have anything to say since my regimens so simple

Sometimes I feel the same way!!

Hair washed.


Used this shampoo bar from Lush Cosmetics... Not sure how I felt about it. I'll have to try it again. My hair felt squeaky clean... But not exactly stripped... But it was in braids, so I'm not entirely sure...

Dep conditioned with the Loreal Ceramide conditioner.

Then got out the shower... LOC'd with water (duh haha), then used almond oil then on one aide I used my Shea radiance... But on the OTHER I tried Paul Mitchell's The Conditioner... And I must say, I need a better method of testing things out... Because I think I like it, but I'm not really sure considering I'd already out the oil on my hair... It's like I don't knowbifnits good because there's already so much stuff in my hair...

Lastly used Nothing But pudding for a little hold.

Taking the braids out (if they're dry) tomorrow. Otherwise these 6 braids will be pulled back into a unfortunately unprofessional style.

ImanAdero Have you tried their r&b/rnb moisturiser? it's supposed to have formulated for kinky/curly hair.

TheNDofUO,

Is that a Shea butter like mix? I tried it in the store, but again... It was on already moisturized hair... So ITHINK it works... But it felt nice on my hair.

In other news....I got accepted in the postgrad residency programme to do Anaesthesia & Intensive Care!! I'll be starting in July...all nervous and excited all at the same time.

 

[Evolving78]

WTG bajandoc86!! Congrats lady!

Just take your time thoroughly detangling before you wash. Are you gonna do a pre-poo with oil or anything to help with detangling shortdub78?

 

[Evolving78]

^^^yes! i plan on drenching my hair in oil and doing a prepoo treatment. right now i gotta remove much as possible. i feels some knots trying to form now. the new growth and shedding is not working together.

 

[NikkiQ]

How many days/weeks post relaxer are you shortdub78?

The it's a 10 is a great leave in. I swear it melts tangles. The Sally version is good also. Maybe try changing your dc. I'm loving the loreal ceramide con.....softens new growth. Also try detangling air dried hair. I lose less when my hair is not wet

My hair has been super dry since my TU so IM DCing now with Silk Dreams Vanilla Silk, Wen 613 and Raw honey

Hey ladies! I just keep looking at this pic from February...how fast can I get back here?



Only good thing is the hair should be all one length or closer to it when it grows back. Still hoping for APL by end of June.

The liquid gold hair growth oil isn't impressing me as a growth aid.

My vitamin List is good, but Im not taking anything specifically for hair. I'm only taking vitamins and supplements for overall health which will also benefit my hair health/growth.

As far as products, Really just sticking to my staples right now. But I do have some new stuff to try and of course, I will tell y'all ALL about it.

Question for you all: any experiences with tree braids?

 

[Evolving78]

How many days/weeks post relaxer are you shortdub78?

sorry getting back so late. i am 3 weeks post and it is rough. normally it doesn't start getting wacky until 6 weeks or so. i usually relax 8-10 weeks.

I hope your hair goes better. Maybe this Mn just messed up the normal reaction of your hair.

In any case, we always catch up our mistakes and learn. Your hair is gonna turn fine in no time. your hair is beautiful

Put Amla/Brahmi oil on my scalp and hair. I also put Vatika Frosting on my hair as well. Those instantly makes my hair smooth. I put a lot on and did a scalp massage as I usually do when I prepoo. I put my hair in a bun for the day. When I return home this afternoon I plan to shampoo with my brother's shampoo (NuENZ organic shampoo) and then do a henna treatment.

 

[JosieLynn]

Still wearing the wig, I am loving how easy it has been to "do my hair" in the morning before work. The regimen for my hair right now is moisturizing it 2x a day, once before i put on the wig and once after i take it off at night. Finally figured what curl style to put in the wig as well. Did a bantu knot out and just let it continue to fall throughout the week, it looks really natural. Probably won't wash my hair for another week since i'm not putting in a ton of product or manipulation. Then i'll wash and DC in the cornrows and take my hair out of the braids at the end of the month for that wash day.

 

[glamazon386]

Took my weave down this morning. Washed my hair and put it in 2 flat twists for now.

Lord yall why my mom called me talking about MN!!!?? She said a friend of her coworker came over and she had hair down to her butt. So they asked what she uses. The lady told them monistat,vagisil and sulfur 8 grease. My mom asked if I knew about it. I said yeah and I tried it. You know she had the nerve to get mad at me for not telling her?!!
