BSL 2013 Challenge

Just wanted to share that I'm not doing at length check this time around. Not much difference since I trimmed about 3 weeks ago. It is growing but I hate my ends so I have been trimming a lot.
 
I'm positing a picture of my self-flat iron job I took on June 11th. I'm really bad at getting close to my roots out of fear of burning my scalp. I decided not to flat iron again for the sake of this LC 3 weeks later so this picture serves as my Official June LC Photo.

I have about 2.5 more inches before I reach the top of my bra, I feel I can comfortably claim BSL by December 31st. I'm getting a medium box braid set hopefully next week so I can stretch my relaxer 5-6 months.

I like thé result of your flat iron . Its does look good.

I want to flat iron but i said im staying off heat for à while. I need to let my hair thicken up à bit and avoid split ends, although i dust.

Yes me too. I only flat iron 5-6 times per year.

I used to flat iron like twice à year (at thé beginning of journey). Then it became about 6 times à year.

I used thé blow dryer (tension method )every wash day (every 2 weeks). Im backing off and learning how to air dry again. ..hopefully i would loooove to reach bsl by december.
Ive started exercising.

I wonder if exercising is thé reason why my nails are strong,better and growing longer like before. And this without taking vitamins. (i might get back to maxi hair for this summer). I never know when is thé perfect time to take hair vitamins.. Anytime all year?

I take my vits year round but if I were to take a break I'd do it in the Summer because of the growth spurts during the warmer months.

Wash day:yay::yay: I hoping my fav natural market is open today so that I can buy sum hempseed oil.

Happy 4th of July:dance7:
 
I just dusted my hair for the second time in two weeks. After the first dusting I could still see white tips on the ends of my hair. This time I cut off at least 1/4 inch but I only divided my hair in 4 sections to do it. It's probably all uneven now, but the ends feel better and less tangly. I think I really should cut more but I'm getting nervous about it.
 
Going to put in some braids next week. Maybe 2 weeks...

I'm sick of my hair and its been in a boring top knot for the past week.

Plus I need to trim my hair. So as I braid (big braids) ill probably snip my ends. (Especially since the next time I PLAN on going to the salon is in Late October.
 
I know I missed the lengeth check, but I flat ironed for my birthday. Now that the fireworks and my birthday are done here are some pics

These are pics from my march 2013 flat iron and trim which too me back to Apl

Morning Ladies,

I finally washed my hair yesterday and my scalp & ends feels sooooo much better. I let my hair airdry completely before applying my leave-ins and braiding my hair, so my hair came out more wavy than curly.

This weekend I plan on washing my hair, mild protein and DCing.
 
Oiled my scalp and undid my twists for a twist out pony puff for an anniversary date with hubby. Will wash my hair this evening and put it back up in twists.

Happy Saturday! I got up early for wash day. Prepooed with oils and washed with Wen for the 2nd time. I have to say I like it but I don't love it at least not yet. The best part was I had a few pumps to my hair (after rinsing) for leave in and my hair felt better than DCing. So I will continue to use this bottle and decide whether to repurchase.

After that I applied a bit of liquid gold hair growth oil to my scalp and twisted my hair with miss Jessie's curly pudding. I put Mag rollers on the ends and now I'm letting it airdry. I hope my twist out turns out good!
 
I have hair touching my bra strap now. I'm pretty sure I'll be fully grazing BSL for the next length check. Once I get there I will probably dust and then leave my hair alone for the rest of the year.

This is so weird because I swear I look bald headed. I need help. :lol:

My senagalese twists that I put in a bun. I love it and I have gotten so many compliments. The good thing for me is, I don't have to comb my hair everyday. Just keep them moisturized and clean as needed and I'm good to go
