BSL 2013 Challenge

I'm getting excited bout this upcoming length check, cause I really want to see if this inversion thing really works. I have been "officially" doing the inversion 2xs a week on my wash days. Hopefully I've gained the 1-2ins I had trimmed a couple of months ago.
 
About to super M&S my hair and try to put it in some braids or something. I'm so bored with my hair right now. I wish I could get some braids or something, but there's no one out here that can do it and I'm incredibly style challenged.
 
I'm still mooning over my lost half an inch!:sad: I'm trying every trick to grow my hair. Tonight I mixed Sulphur 8 with my tube of MN and oiled my scalp. Then I wrapped it up in a plastic bag, tied my scarf and going to bed like this. My scalp is all tingly. I'm thinking it better tingle so I get some hair growth by hook or by crook! I know I sound desperate....sob! I think I need a shrink to deal with how I'm feeling right now. I'm NOT trimming my hair till the end of 2013. I'll prolly have a breakdown if I trimmed again.

@fifigirl It will go back quickly. Half an inch is nothing, especially with MN. It worked for me when I was using it. I probably had 3/4" to an inch a month.

Right now I'm using NJoy's sulfur mix, so I stopped MN. I might alternate weeks with MN and her mix starting in July though. I want at least another 3-4 inches by the end of the year.

NikkiQ Your pony puff is juicy, girl! As a 4a/b girl, I don't like wash and goes. :nono: Mine would have been in a puff too.

I feel you NikkiQ....thinking of doing same too. Human hair braids so I can wash twice weekly still and DC easily n my hair can breath

Thanks Foreal! I'm very glad to hear from someone it worked for. How many times a week did you use it for?
 
For my upcoming Jaimaica trip, I decided to put some Sengelese(sp) twist in. I will be using Marley Hair. I plan on putting them in right before my trip.

Random Hair Thought: I decided that if I'm not atleast close to MBL by the end of next year, I am going to go back to wearing my bob w/ bangs. I used to lovvvveeee that style. I'm really starting to miss my hair & I'm really tired of PS 24/7 w/o any notice of a difference in length. I miss playing w/ color too.

Took the braids down and slicked it back into a bun. Hair is still super moist from last night. Added a bit more oil on my ends before putting it away. This will probably be my routine for the rest of the week.

This is exactly what i did this morn
 
I just got out of Marley/kinky twists (I used both kinds of hair) this past weekend. I kept them in for a month bc I felt like it was hindering my growth for a number of reasons.

Right now I'm in box braids with my real hair. I kept them in a ponytail bc my hair is so fine & they look thin. Hopefully they'll last for the next 2 weeks and hopefully by the end of August, I'll be full bsl right before I put my yarns back in :D
 
sorry the pics are so gigantic! :perplexed

I bought the GVP version of chi silk infusion yesterday. I'm going to use it before my relaxer tomorrow. It's more runny than I imagined it would be. I thought the consistency would be more like a serum.
 
I just rinsed out Aussie 3 minute DC, I put it on dry hair under my wig at work today! That Bee Mine growth serum makes my hair so dry I'm going to have to incorporate CWing.
 
Washed my hair last night as I intend to braid my hair today. Was really tired as I'd been out all day so I Prepooed for 30 minutes with heated Olive oil, washed my scalp with Dr Bronners Castilla soap in honey and lemon. I only did one wash and focused on my scalp and let the water run through my hair. Then I conditioned with Giovanni Deep moisture conditioner. I did not go under my dryer as I was really exhausted so I wore my shower cap for about 5 minutes and then rinsed it off.

Carefully wrung water off my hair and then wrapped hair round an old t shirt and went to bed. Woke up this morning to about 80% dry hair. Used my Giovanni leave in conditioner and air drying it before I go to work.
I am really pleased with my hair as it still is very soft and though I didn't have strength to comb whilst conditioning, I noticed that I had no tangles so I'm pleased at the hair lost from trimming as my hair is healthier, looks better and is tangle free.

Here's a pic of my air dried hair. Will load pics of my braids once I'm done. Forgive my looks, no makeup and I look a mess!

Question Ladies, need to know, do you prepoo when you have braids on? Cos I'm planning to wash and DC with heat prolly on sat since I had no energy last night

I still have the same style in...it's holding up so well and I just get up and go! Maybe I will wash over the weekend but its staying in tact so far. In the meantime, I am going to get some info on tree braids at the braid salon. I think i want that to be my next protective style.

Maybe I'll take down these cornrows I've had since June 1st in two weeks. I put cornrows with no hair added and wore them out for two weeks in a bun, now I've busted out the Motown Tresses H. Volta wig to wear over them for the next two weeks. I've gotten many compliments and need to go and buy about two more. Other than that I've been cowashing 3x/week with Tresemme Naturals for Moisture and sealing with castor oil. If I need a scalp cleanse sometimes I'll use Trader Joe's NS but other than that I'm very low maintenance this summer. I'm thisclose to BSL...here's to another two weeks before a length check.
