BSL 2013 Challenge

Congrats Kerryann!


I'm finally washing my hair after 2.5 weeks (don't judge I kept thinking I was going swimming). My scalp is sooo itchy. I'm sitting with my DC on right now. I can't wait to get in the shower and scrub my scalp.
 
I'm taking my corn rows out next weekend so ill do my LC then. I've been using my Bee Mine growth serum everyday religiously so I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised by some decent growth!

Congrats Kerryann!

Prepooed this weekend with a mix of EVOO, JBCO and Hair trigger. Washed with Aphogee deep moisture shampoo. Did a Peppermint tea rinse and rinsed off. Conditioned with Paul Mitchell skinny daily conditioner, rinsed off and DC'd with a mix of Hair mayonnaise, 2 tbsp roux porosity control, some coconut oil and a tsp of hair trigger. DC'd overnight with shower cap, cling film and scarf. Woke up in the morning and washed out DC.
Air dried and then added Giovanni leave in cond and sealed with castor oil. I'm going to have to take my braids off come Friday as not only is it rough, a lot of strands are coming off from the washing. I do have some new growth so I'm happy about that. Been massaging my mix of sulphur 8 and MN every other day. Tried using MN straight but I experienced headaches so decided to mix and not had an issue since then.

Hope everyone's experiencing some growth!
 
Just checking in. I have not done a length check yet. It's been super rainy in FL lately and I have not straightened my hair. I'd rather not just do a pull test since all my other pictures are on straightened hair. Hopefully, this week.

To be honest, I'm not looking too forward to it. With my much needed trim, a month and a half ago, I'd be lucky to be at BSB again.
 
Kerryann Congrats Mama on the baby girl! Awe! Yes hair can wait!

I haven't done much this week finally found a perfect combination for moisture using water/beautiful textures leave in/ oils to seal keep my hair good for my whole trip 5 days I just reup'd today, bc I didn't bring my stuff with me. Ill be back to MS my minibraids every other day and I've been using phyto's thinning hair treatment and my trouble spots are growing in great! 10 more week to go we shall see!
 
I just oiled my whole head and put it in twists. My hair felt so matted. Lord I'll never get to full BSL if I keep up what I'm doing.


Tonight I'll sleep in a plastic cap and baggy over night. Probably wont cowash in the Morning because its just been so dang on tangled...

Next week I MUST do something more protective to this mane. These buns aren't working for me with working out because my hair just mattes on the inside of the bun.

If it wasn't so hot with so much humidity, I'd wear wigs... But that's not happening so maybe a twisted style and I'll trim my ends so my twists don't knot up so bad? Or maybe I'll finally sit down and do these braids... OR I'll pay someone else to so them... Yeah probably that lol
 
Oh m'y...im back after some trouble(cell phone was stolen thursday)...all pics and vidéos of my sons inside.Im pissed

Friday Night I prepoo'd w/ Amla/Brahmi/Vatika oil
Saturday I added the last of my V05 Moisture Milks Strawberry & Tresemme Naturals Condish let it sit for a while and dry detangled my hair
Then I cowashed with WEN Sweet Almond Mint
Was suppose to DC w/ Bask Cacao Bark but felt I needed a light protein and DC'd with MD Coconut Creme Condish w/ heat for 15mins. I also had my tea under the DC (chamomile/Fenugreek/Marshmallow Root/Slippery Elm/Vatika Oil/AVJ).

I did a perm rod set. I think I need an hour and a half to two hours to dry but ran out of time after an hour and had to take them out. So my set didn't dry all the way. I hate it cause some of the curls that dried looked so pretty. I'm going to try it again on Thursday.

As of this past Saturday, I will be in 4 Celie braids underneath my wig for the next six weeks. I'll be 12 weeks post on Wednesday which is my usual stretch time but I decided to stretch longer. I'm going to try my hand at CW every three days and doing a weekly ACV rinse on my scalp during these six weeks along with a weekly steam DC. My goal is to be within an inch of grazing BSL in time for our September LC.

You always inspire me. I was almost ready to jump in that jar of Texturizer and you remind me of my goal to make 16 weeks my stretch.

I'm 2x lazy right now! Need to braid my hair, but currently bunning. I will still M&S every morning before I bun.

ImanAdero, how long were you bunning? Roughly, how long should one bun before matting becomes an issue?

keranikki I run so as soon as I sweat my hair just shrivels up and says, "Id like to tangle today!" Lol so it's really just my laziness that causes it to matte. So every 2 days I have to take down, finger comb... Etc.
 
Still rocking my cornrows under a short wig. I'm debating whether to take them out and blow dry now for a length check or wait just wash and re-braid and wait until next month since that was my goal for hitting bsl? I am trying to avoid heat as much as possible since the humidity undoes all my efforts anyway.
