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!

I was supposed to roller set last nite but was just too tired. I will hopefully post results if it doesn't look too bad.
 
I'm getting restless in these braids but I want to keep my hair protected and away from my own hands until the end of the summer.

It took everything in me to moisturize and seal my hair today, at 15 weeks post I just wasn't in the mood. I can't wait to texlax in another week or so! In all honesty, the S in S-Curl stands for SUPER because it tamed my NG like its nobody's business.

15 weeks! Nice work Kiwi!
 
For once I am excited about wash day tomorrow. I guess it's because I am going to blow dry my hair, which I never do, but I seriously can't wait lol.
 
Planning on washing, Dcing, m&sing, then putting in a new set of twists (if I ever get around to finishing this homework).

jprayze I'm looking into trying roller sets for when I want to wear my hair straighter. Are you natural?

Yes I'm natural! Trying this roller wrap process...I know it won't be flat iron straight but it will be straighter. I'm finishing up now so I will post results.
 
I just rinsed out my overnight DC of Darcys pumpkin condish. I used Aphogee green tea and the provitamin leave in now im air drying to about 80% before i blowdry.
 
jprayze I have been looking at blogs and instagrams of luscious, big hair and now I want to play in mine. I'm determined to keep the braids because I don't have enough time and/or lead a lifestyle conducive to maintaining it styles right now. I can only do.so much with my braids because my hair is fine so my braids are spacey.

I think there is a lot of potential with the process, but I need to perfect it much more to get smoother, straighter results. It wasn't too bad at first, but then my hair kept GROWING...think frizz and puff.. when I went outside! I guess I will be bunning, but at least I have nice stretched hair.
 
I need to start posting more in here. It has been a minute..

I gave myself a cut again and I am back at APL. It looks like it will take another year to reach BSL. I am 4 inches away :thud: I wonder where I would be now if I never cut my hair from the beginning of my hair journey.

I bought myself a half wig but not I am brave enough to wear it work. I initially bought it to help styling when I have to go out but I wish I could wear it daily as a PS till I reach full BSL.
 
Ok so I said I would post pics of my hair. They are not the best pics because I was taking them myself but I tried lol... Don't judge lol!!!

random update, took my marley twists out last week and have been doing pin-up styles but my hair was feeling "blah" so today i decided to do a prepoo of honey, conditioner and supposed to be olive oil but we were fresh out so i used sesame oil. So far it feels absolutely delicious, my curls were popping and shiny, now i'm sitting with it on my hair under a plastic bag and skully, the cheap version of a HOT lol might wash this out tomorrow morning. Still trying to figure out what will be my next protective hairstyle, lately i've been getting annoyed with having to do my hair every other day, but i might just stick with it since it's getting cooler
 
I keep saying this but 4 weeks until these braids come out! Lol

I just want o deep condition my hair without the prospect of my hair matting due to build up at the roots.

So far I've washed once and used a leave in. Didn't even use a real conditioner. My hair isn't hella dry, so that worked, but dang it!

I need to style these braids so I won't be bored with them.

I tried using a different C for my LOC today. Loreal Eversleek Humidity Defying Leave in Creme. I'm hoping if I try a braid out after using this, it won't get all frizzy. I think I'll braid it tonight and see how it turns out

Finally at 12 weeks post relaxer! This is the longest I have ever stretched my hair in my life. I shall be doing a protein treatment next week when I take my weave off and then will retouch the next week. I'm looking forward to retouching and finally doing a length check!

Day 2 of the beach is over with. Hallelujah! My hair has been bombarded with salt water and I've got some major tan lines. Can't wait to wash this mess tomorrow!
 
So looking into possible protective styles with my own hair I ran into a conundrum...is near BSL hair considered medium length??? Because I realize that some of the shorter hairstyles don't work for me anymore or look super big because I have more hair but I'm not to the point where I can do some of the longer hairstyles...so would I be considered medium length? I know that term is kind of general but it's just something i've been wondering about
 
I have been bad with my hair for the past 5 days... sleeping without my satin pillow that I forgot to put in my suitcase before traveling... My scalp is flaking and I just want to wash my hair! Tomorrow I'll get back to my place and my hair will get some TLC.
For my length, I am between BSB and BSL. Seems like my back is more than super long smh- I'm around 5'9"-

SL-APL is considered medium length. Your hair is considered long. Even if it isn't "LHCF long". :lol:
 
I washed my hair this morning and did a wet/damp bun. My hair feels great. I don't know if it's the damp bun or the new leave-in, but I like it! I think I'm going to go hardcore damp bunning for the rest of the year (except for the week after my salon appointments). Then I don't have to decide if I want to cut layers or chop my bonelaxed ends off.

Unless I have issues, maybe I'll keep this up until I reach WL. I just have to commit to using a trouser sock as a ponytail holder so I don't get breakage. I like the fact that it doesn't cause breakage, but I don't like that the elastic is pretty weak.
 
i have a problem and need your advice. my hair has grown as i wanted (im bsb id say,or touching bsl). my croWn texture has nothing to do With the rest of my head!
the crown is the kinkiest,shortest ,hard to deal with area.i hate that part!

my crôwn has broken hair (from root) which is really fustrating me. it needs years to catch up te rest. i dont know how that happened.ive been gentle.

i was thinking if cutting everything back to twa will be the best thing to do,and wiser thing to do? i think nothing is possible to grow it back :

pic (see the spaces) its like that all over the crown :
