BSL 2013 Challenge

My plan for this weekend (Friday night) is to roller set on extra large rollers ala Dominican style under the hooded dryer and wrap afterwards and see how straight I can get my hair. I will be using silicon mix products. Should be interesting. At least I will get my hair stretched out for a nice bun and maybe I can do some sort of unofficial LC just to see how my growth is doing.

I have finally gotten quite a few staples and I've gotten to the point that I don't have to try many new things. Too risky! I'm starting to find out what works for my hair and I'm going with it!
 
Finally took my mini braids out after 4 weeks lets just say It felt amazing letting my hair down and washing my hair! I decided to an impromptu length check one by myself which I felt wasn't accurate and the other with my teen helping me out let just say I'm gonna keep up with the hiding my hair under wigs and push for making it to BSL! I need to find my vits so I can start back using them!

Girl that bra is sitting at MBL, lol...you're already BSL or knocking on its door at best!!

Lol see now I'm normally able to spot a member of the lbw gang guess I'm joining them ok I think I'll wait to call BSB because my back is contorted weird when I did my check and its just making it when my daughter helped me and shoot for BSL the lbw way by December! I'm hype BSL used to be my first ultimate goal can't believe I'm so close! Thanks ladies!
 
It took 3 days of trying but I finally got my transitioning braid out to work. I had almost given up on wearing my hair out ever again. I think it was 3 nights of 3 braid patterns that finally did it. I'm wearing it out and every co-worker is commenting. I think because it keeps getting bigger as the day goes on. I may need to pull it into a ponytail.

I can't wait until next week when I blow dry my hair in preparation for my sew-in. I'm curious to see what length I am now and I wanna see what my ends look like. If they look bad, it's going to be hair to fight the urge to cut.
 
Morning all! Had a battle with the internet for most of yesterday evening so with tje free time, I took down my Celies, moisturized and put it into 2 fat braids. About to take them down and put into a bun.

I'm still rocking my braids. I'm luving the ease of the braids. All I have to do is wake up and go. I re-did some of the back of my hair b/c I noticed some matting. I think I may take them out next week and re-install. I would have wore my braids for about 3wks. I think the next time I re-install them I will do them smaller, shorter and closer to the root. I was so afraid that I was going to pull my hair too much that I didnt start the braid until its was about an inch of hair exposed.

Looks good:drunk: I wear braidouts about 99% of the time. I braid my hair into 4 tight pigtails; two in the front and two in the back. I then leave about and inch of hair on the ends loose so that I can tuck it under the rubber band(if that makes sense). When I want a more curly braidout I do it on wet hair and then M&S. If I want it to be more wavy than curly I air dry my hair until about 95%, then M&S.
 
Back to cowashing! I haven't co-washed in a few months. I'm home today so I decided to give my moisture a little boost. I will flexi-set after and wear a cute curly set. I love big hair. :happydance:
 
I've decided that I'm gonna get my red weave again. I felt so super sassy with that hair! I had red and light brown mixed together so it wasn't too smack you in the face bright. Very excited!
 
It's bad... I'm over these braids already.


AND IT'S ONLY BEEN 2 WEEKS!!!!

::cries::

AlSO: I'm about to take one of these braids at on my temple out and just rebraid it without the extension. She braided it with too much hair so it is too heavy on that SMALL hair piece it's braided to.

I'll get my life together. I told myself this needed to last until September.
