shortdub78 I love your haircut! I'm sure it will be much easier to manage with all the PP shedding. I'm glad you're still going to hang out with us, but that shorter sleek cut is tempting me to relax and cut. I'm just going to have to hide my hair.

thank you ladies! you ladies are like family! and i just wanna see all of the progress and encourage you ladies like you encourage me! GettingKinky, yes hide your hair!
 
Looking at shortdubs new beautiful haircut got me thinking my hair cut is kinda wretched. Wish I had a stylist I could trust to even my hair up without hacking me into a setback.
 
I feel like I need a haircut but ain't no way am I going to cut shorter than APL ever! I just want to thicken up my hemline but it will have to wait until after I pass BSL. Anyway, I did a black rinse on my hair and I like it. Next time I need to use two boxes to really saturate my hair. The rinse got rid of the brown tinge and so now it looks like a natural black shade. I'm not brave enough to use the permenates yet.
 
For today's zip lining adventure, the hair is in big braids with a bandana on. Hopefully the helmet can still fit over all of this :lol:

i was nervous about her evening my hair up for me. i prayed she wouldn't give me a pixie cut!

thank you for the wonderful compliment! i saved the cut hair and put it in a baggy. i hope to be BSL by 2015?....:perplexed but i am going to enjoy this grow out. i would like to be a nice full SL be the end of the year.
 
I have to find a faster way to apply my DC. The relaxer method takes too long and I can tell that I am starting to get too lazy to keep it up.

NikkiQ have fun zip lining! Good luck with the helmet.

Hi all! I've been mia due to work, but I now have to go back and read every post since April (oy ve). I've been in a serious hide my hair personal challenge, I installed kinky twist, I will remove at the end of June, post pictures and re-install. I removed a twist and did a pull test, and it touched my bra strap. I am not celebrating in case when I take out my twists, I have to cut, or in case I just happened to pull the one piece of hair that reaches my bra strap. In any case, I am still allowing myself the full year to reach bsl.
 
I don't know if its the last time I straightened my hair... But my texture isn't actually 3C/4A. More like 4A/4B. There MIGHT be some 3C in the back. But it's actually not very coilly at all. More so cottony.

Hmmm... The more you know lol.

Still washing and going.
 
So excited, I can see my "V" when my hair is curly!!

When I pull on my hair it reaches the bottom of my bra strap! But I'm not going to post a picture because

1) I'm not coordinated enough to pull on my hair and take a picture
2) I'm not going to claim BSL until it reaches without pulling

Maybe I'll be there if I flat iron after I get my touch up in a few weeks. Just in time for our June check in.
 
I don't know what happened and I'm not complaining but I think my hair just went through, or is going through, a growth spurt. I don't know if it from having a better diet or that the summer is when my hair grows faster but I'll take it. :grin: I guess I'm at full APL now. BSL doesn't seem too far away but let's not get carried away with excitement. :rolleyes:

Jet black looks awesome plus it makes hair look incredibly healthy too. I haven't decided which kind of black I want. I went to the store with the mind of getting black dye not realizing that there are more options besides jet black. lol For now I just wanted to get rid of the brown tinge in my hair.

I went to Ulta yesterday for some Tresseme Naturals to have some cheap conditioner to leave in my hair sometimes.

I also kind of wanted to try the Ouidad Co-Wash. It's so expensive though, so I chickened out. I asked about something similar and she didn't, but she gave me THREE free ouidad products. Wow!

Moisture Lock Leave In Conditioner 2.5 oz
12 minute Deep Treatment 2.5 oz
Heat and Humidity Gel 6 oz.

WOW!

On my receipt the Deep Treatment was 26.00! (discounted to 0.0)

I think I paid 12 dollars for a 2.5 oz of the Heat and Humidity Gel at Sephora!

I hit the hair care jackpot!
 
Got my hair braided by my Sis today(just my own hair) going to try and keep them in for at least 2 weeks hopefully longer
 
Just shampooed and did a quick dc with Vanilla Silk...smells divine. Sprayed a bit of Aphogee Green Tea and used Darcy's Pumpkin Seed condish as my leave in. Grapeseed for the O in LOC. Now airdrying in some Celies. May do some twists with braided roots when I have time. But I will most likely throw it in a bun in the am because I have to get up for work.

As for yesterday's question, I think I may reach BSL in September.

I love hairfinity!!! I have thicker hair that is noticeably more healthy. My new growth has grown in much faster as well. Hth!!!
Click to expand...

Honestly I didn't think it worked. I tried it for three months straight and didn't notice an increase in length. I would check out the overall reviews. For some I believe they are attributing their average 1/2 inch of growth to HairFinity. It may give you the 1/2 inch faster but not additional growth IMO. My hair personally responded very well to GNC's hair, skin, and nails. I got them on sale and have been very pleased. I hope that review helps you.

Happy Hair Growth to you!

I'm sorry SincerelyBeautiful, I meant to reply to Incognitus.

**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?
Click to expand...

I think my original date may have been August or October? I don't remember now, but since the boyfriend and I are talking about getting married November 1st I REALLY REALLY want to make BSL and beyond by then. Like I've put myself on a strict 5 month hair challenge of no slip-ups straight protective styling and m&s until then. I don't mind sacrificing enjoying for the summer to be bangin and swangin for November! So far no setbacks so hopefully I'll be fine.
 
Well Friday my hair dresser wouldn't let me cut all my heat damage off. She told me that it varies throughout my hair but it's more on the right side. She said that it still curls and felt that we should continue to gradually cut it off. She said I have up to 2" in some areas so I told her to give me a 1/2" trim all around. She DC'd my hair and I told her to bun it after blowdrying and trimming me. I went home and did a bantu knot out for the weekend.

Last night I put my hair in twist. I bunned it so it would hide the straight ends. I plan to wear it until Sunday then wear a twist out. This morning I put Rosemary Growth essentials pomade on my scalp.

wow! she wanted to work with your hair and not just cut if off? you got a good one! i'm happy for you! the stylist i had didn't wanna recommend any products to me. i'm like help a sista out! i'm trying to get my hair in order. i always recommend product to my clients. i want them to continue working on what we are trying to achieve. i don't want what they do at home to be counterproductive to what i do. plus i feel like clients are walking billboards! i would still come to her 2x a month and come to her for my relaxer.

She's a good stylist. My dd's hair was damaged by a stylist and I made the decision to trim over time as well. Her length has since thanked me for it. Like your hair, her hair was damaged in only some spots but some areas had damage all the way to the scalp. I was so made I cussed for over a month about about it and vowed to never ever let anyone else touch her hair again. Her hair could be more than three inches longer than what it is now. It's been just over 1 year and she still have some long straight strands and ends. I think one more inch and most if not all of her ends will be thick and lush!

I love zip lining and so want to do it outside. My SO and I did it in the underground caverns. It was amazing.
