BSL 2013 Challenge

Just did my best braid out ever today... So proud of myself... I used Hawaiian Silky and Hot7Oil and did 3 braids last night going back and took it out this morning... It looks really pretty on my natural hair, my relaxed hair looks kind of thin so I tucked the ends under... This might be my new fave summer protective style

That baby is sooooooo cute:babyb::babyb: & u did a great job on your braidout.
 
Alrighty, wanted to take these pics with my laptop but I knew I would procrastinate if I waited any longer. Lol. I'd say I'm about an inch from BSB, and since I'm not claiming BSL until I reach the bottom of my bra strap. .. about 3 inches from BSL. What say you?? :) Excuse the horrible lighting/angle of the pics ladies...

Finally had my WH take a length check photo for me. I'm feeling meh. I can't be too disappointed for I did have a setback in March and I did trim about a 1/2" off at the beginning of June. If I make it to APL by the end of August, I will be a happy woman! At least it would give me confidence that I could possibly make it to BSB by Dec 13.

The first pic is my current LC. The second is my last LC during my setback. It seems I'm recovering my length only to trim away at it later. I'm hiding my hair until Dec.:'(

I think ur right. With ur arm down pic it looks like 1 inch away from the top to me :D.

Does any 1 I know how to make pictures look bigger on an Android phone. I can only see them small.

Don't fret! I'm with you. Hopefully I will be APL by the end of August too. I Didn't even do a LC this time around.
 
I probably should be posting in the MBL thread since I am technically still in that challenge but at the rate I'm going all those ladies look like unicorns to me and I start feeling like I'm bald headed. LOL

Eta: I miss my stylist in NYC. That lady had my hair feeling tight and right and my hair was growing so fast then! :( I wonder what I'm doing so differently now on my own?

Day 1 of residency. Tired as all heck. On 24 hr duty. I should be reading something medical...but instead I'm tryna figure out how I can get my hair washed/dc etc in the time I have tomorrow. LOL.

I am determined to get through these yrs of residency looking fly as hell. Hair did/nails did/makeup on point. I ain't gonna let them get me down!

Here is my length check. Please excuse the mess I call my hair. I had just finished taking out big twist after blow drying my hair via the tension method so that's why it looks all over the place :lol:

Morning Ladies!

Well I didnt cowash yesterday, so I am hoping to do it today or tomorrow. I'm actually probably going to shampoo my hair b/c of the gel. I'm starting to like this bunning thing. It's very low maintence(sp), I just hope the gel doesnt cause a problem.

I plan on buying some hempseed oil today. I will be using it as a sealant after I apply my leave-ins. The hempseed will be replacing my Avocado oil.

Greetings from New Orleans ladies!!! So happy to be home. Getting the hair flat ironed on Friday and I can't wait to see how it looks. I bought the Sabino Moisture Block with me so she could use it.
