**Question of the Day**
(I know...it's been a while!)

We're at the half way mark now ladies! Well almost. How is everyone feeling about their original date for making BSL? Have you changed your date? Moved it up or back? Why?

We'll see... I have only 2 relaxers left this year if I space them 14-16 weeks apart and I maintain my reggie I'm still hoping for BSL by the end of the year. I have a little over an inch til BSL I think.

I don't know how I'll feel at BSL, but right now I have hair-anorexia BAD :sad:

So i think I'm on my way to BSL- Im still abwt 2inches away but my hair has got a bit thicker and my hair seems to be on the mend after a recent setback!! My hair was shedding ridiculously and I'm not a heavy shedder so I knew sumthin was up :(

I think my original goal date was untill the end of year bit I was secretly hoping to be a bit closer but I can't complain too much though. I'm thinking maybe September that il reach BSL at normal growth - if I get a growth spurt then sooner :) fingers crossed !!!!
 
Hey ladies,

Well I'm considering switching to natural products. So I'm gradually replacing my old hair products w/ natural ones. So far I switched to a natural leave-in. It has shea butter & coconut oil in it. I decided 2 switch 2 more natural products, cause I feel like my hair is not responding well 2 reg products. I bought the leave-in from martindales, a natural market. It was alittle pricey, 11.99. Its by Allafia. I really like the ingredients.

Any of u ladies use naturAl products? If so, any recommendations/suggestions?

I converted over to using all natural products my favorite lines are
Shescentit, Bee Mine, Silk Dreams, Darcys and Marie Dean:lick:. all the products i have from those lines i love
Darcys pumpkin seed condish is heaven sent, so are marie deans thick creamy moisturizers and masks. ooh i forgot about curl junkie and aubrey organics i love those to. i have so many non natural products that im going to use up a few of them and give the rest to friends and family (my sis is a stylist so she'll get the bulk) its a great decision to use all natural stuff for hair and body inside and out. Good luck

oh and if your hair is not responding to your old products you should try clarifying or chelating first. HTH

Thanks for the suggestions! I was looking @ the silk dreams line. I want to try out there conditioners w/ the protein in it. Where do u get the other products from? Have u noticed any difference in your hair since switching to better quality products? How do u handle the cost of the products? I think that's my biggest issue. I'm hoping that since the quality is better, I won't have to use as much, like I would reg products.

Sorry for all the questions.

No problem i like questions:grin:
I get all my natural handmades online or Target (they have Shea moisture i love their poo) Target also has Jane Carter. I love my hair so much more since using all natural products. It feels, looks and grows a whole lot healthier. The cost of natural products really bother me because even when i bought non natural products i spent a lot on them Kerastase, Keracare and Wen to name a few and those arent cheap. You get what you pay for. ZI would wait for sales and dont over do it, im a pj but its not necessary to have 30 deep conditioners find what works for you and buy on sale and in bulk it will be a lot cheaper that way

Good advise. I also want to add that if you can wait, purchase them during Black Friday sales. That way if you didn't like the product, you didn't pay full price. OR buy sample sizes whenever possible.

i am dropping out of this challenge. i had some huge knots and haven't been to sleep in the past 24 hour because of them. i got fed up and cut my hair into a graduated bob. i am NL and i am ok with that. now i gotta go back to wrapping and roller setting. no more bunning. the shedding was just taking over and i couldn't deal anymore.

if you ladies don't mind, i would still like to hang out? i won't be joining any other challenges. i am just going to enjoy my new length.

I love bobs. I'll bet it is just too cute. You've got to do what's best for you. Glad you're enjoying it.

you know i tried! everybody is going to have hair down to their butt crack and i will be trailing along, but it's all good. i feel better and it seems my shedding magically went away today. i hope it doesn't return tomorrow!
 
Nothing really new to report. I have been cowashing up to four times a week and wearing wash n gos. Its just so simple to do and since its hot, im getting lazy so keeping it simple is top priority!

thank you!
ikr! i put my hair in a ponytail and started hacking away! the stylist i went to trimmed the hairs i missed. i told her just to clean it, don't take any length away.

my hair feels extremely light. not weighed down at all and stayed stuck in my lipglass! :lol:
