BSL 2013 Challenge

[JustGROWwithIt]

From what I gathered from utube. By diluting ur shampoo, shampoo in sections & not shampooing too frequently; seems to help the twists/braids last longer.

Thanks for the advice pelohello. I have been diluting my shampoo and shampooing in sections but I wash once a week. I think maybe I will stretch it out for 2 weeks now instead and see how that goes. I only have 2 weeks left before I am taking these out so hopefully I don't get too raggedy looking before then!

so i took out my braids and twisted my own hair as i took them out
this will be my do for the next 3 weeks....my left side needs some extra care because this woman clipped some of my hair she braided it

How r all the other ladies wearing y'all braids or twists. B/c mines r so thick, I've been wearing it half up & half down. Kyssmyhair has great tutorials on how 2 style ur braids/twists. I tried the nefeterri(sp); which I plan on wearing while I'm @ the beach. Def check the videos out ladies, the styles r so easy & cute

Yes, you do have that heavy feeling for the first week or so, but it goes away.

 

[ImanAdero]

Right now mine are kinda up and down. When they loosen up ill put them in a bun and such but for now I can't really lift them up LMBO!

NikkiQ I plan to keep them in AT LEAST until September (since I paid someone to do them). If I did them myself is still keep them in through mid August, but since I paid they gots ta stay in.

 

[Guinan]

Well Ladies I start my vacay 2morrow. I will be in Jamaica for four days. I will chat w/ yall next week.

jprayze, good, I was starting to get paranoid that the braids were going to weigh my hair out (if that makes sense)

I wore my braids down for the first six weeks. I had the front hairline done over and sewed up. She didn't use any hair pins. I'll keep it like this for the next 6 weeks.

Double post

 

[Gryphyn]

Whew...this thread seems to get the most post of all the length challenges! I'm still hoping to make it by end of the year, but realistically...probably this time next year My hair just doesn't grow the way I thought. It's like it grow-grow-stop (even up)...grow-grow-stop (even up)... it takes forever

 

[jprayze]

Up late dry DCing with ORS hair mayo for 15 mins. Brewed some bamboo tea for the final rinse. Will do twists for a twist out if I don't fall asleep

 

[Angelicus]

I'll be back on this challenge. I hate men so I'm gonna cut my hair in half. :-( I can't stand my hair. Not satisfied with it long nor short.

Now I want braids!!! :'(

But they charge too much out here. I'll just keep froing out and ponying it up lol

edit: I want to make it to bsl buy the end of the year but I pay have bitten off more than I can chew with this challenge. But we'll see. With all my water and cardio and monsoons humidity I hope a get one more month of a growth spurt and see where I'm at then. But I might have to hang around until the beginning of next year

 

[MileHighDiva]

Thank you NikkiQ I plan to wear PS until I'm full BSL. I'll alternate between extension braids, twisting my own hair and cornrows under wigs. Even if I don't get there by Dec I definitely want to be there by my 2 years BC April 2014.
