Ahh had to rush out the door this morning to bring the pups to the vet since I overslept! Didn't get a chance to bun so I left my hair in the 2 braids, put a satin bonnet on top and threw on a crochet beanie. I swear I love those things. I'm gonna stock up on them when I move back home.
 
^^I love beenies too! I rocked my blk one all winter. Btw your hair has definitely grown. :yep:

Debating on what hair products to pack and bring with me home to NOLA. Think I may leave a majority of it here and just pick up some new stuff there if I need it. I may lose my mind being able to purchase hair products again without searching from here to Timbuktu for it :lol:
 
Took the braids out and put the bun in. 12hrs of travel tomorrow. This is gonna be a tiring day yall!

NikkiQ I just took note of your location! How is PR doing? What you doing there? Been thinking about moving out there but the fam says the economy is no good and should stay my narrow behind in the states (they obviously still see me as a 16 y/o cause there isnt anything narrow about anything on me now :lol: )

My DH is in the military and got stationed here. I have to agree with your family. Unless you speak Spanish fluently, you're not gonna have any luck finding a job. Which the jobs are far and in between anyway. I've been here for over a year and despite all the experience I have, I couldn't even get a job on base...and I'm a military wife!

Yeah but I'm a Rican, I figured I'd find work easy because not only am I Rican but my English doesnt have an accent.

I remember about 10yrs ago I was offered a job at a resort because I would be able to deal with tourist and they would feel more comfortable with me because I speak like "them" I was like :look: Yall know I'm American born right? lol

But I was young and up some dudes butt so I didnt do it lol

But I've been thinking about going back. But if its that's bad I may need to to stay my black behind in anti black folk Arizona lol
 
So am i the only one that realizes the braid salons are getting more expensive because they realized more people are going natural and are going to them for protective styles

I wanted to get some marley twist not long at all and the woman told me $130 i was floored because thats just $20 shy of some a$$ length braids i got done at that same salon 1yr ago

YAAASSSSSS GIRL!!!!! They tryna rob us I tell you! I tried going to get braids done to get through that weird phase of growing from bald (too long to be short and sassy but too short to hide it!) and I was floored by prices too!!! I said "for all that I'm just gonna walk around like a toddler who just woke up for a few months" and I did... No shame :lachen:
 
I am hoping and praying that I hit full BSL by the end of the year, this is where I'm at now after taking down an install from May..I need to be more consistent with taking my vitamins.

Finally I retouched my hair yesterday! I did a length check. I was a little over shoulder length in May and now my hair's grown a little over armpit length now. I didn't do a length check in June when I chopped about half an inch - three quarters tho, but in my opinion, I have been able to retain some length.
Stretching doggedly till December, and feverently hoping I will be BSL by then!
Here's some pics, I had my hair flat ironed a bit to do the length check

FemmeFatale. I think you will make it if you are not already there! Can't see the back, so you must be trying to get the front there?

I have no idea since I just took out a weave after 3.5 months and haven't relaxed yet. BSL has been a dream for so long that it's actually hard to claim. I'll know for sure once I relax and dust.

Hol up Hol up (yes Hol not hold!!!) ok I see a major case of hair anorexia! You have to be bsl already girl!
 
hey girls!

did i tell you i was planning to relax my natural bsb hair? (id like to in september after my vacation).

im scared and excited...still searching and documenting (stylist or do it myself, phyto relaxer or another...hoW long to leave it on as i dont want bone straight, scared to mess up but then stylits can mess you up too)!!

oh my !!! and also ignoring peoples comments (you re not stong enough,you give up what god gave you, you'll regret, your fine hair will fall out....bla bla bla)!!

mannnnnn is just hair!
 
So I tried Amla oil yesterday, and it felt nice. Basically used it as a pre-poo/HOT and then just shampooed. Didn't even do a DC and it felt nice so I just put my LI and some Argan oil and did celie braids. Hope my hair doesn't feel too dry when I take them out. I've been doing really good with keeping my hair moisturized and have been doing buns to work. Just wanted to see if I could try something new. I usually do pin-up styles but I've been trying to master the bun since my hair has gotten longer and I think I've got it. I'm just glad that I can make buns with all my own hair and it not look SUPER skimpy.

Also looking to straighten my hair with a rollerset come end of challenge time. I should be grazing BSL at the least but I'm hoping for more. I've been doing really well with my retention.

I hate the ignorant comments about relaxed vs natural. I just wish everyone could just come to the agreement that it is just hair and whether its relaxed or natural shouldn't matter. As long as its healthy I see no reason to discriminate. I think no texture is better than the other in my opinion. I love looking and reading about all textures of hair. And I believe you should do what you want with your hair no matter the comments. I'm texlaxed and thought about going natural and when I told people this some looked at me like I was crazy while others encouraged it. But at the end of the day it's my decision and I chose to keep texlaxing because it works for me. So basically I'm saying screw the negative comments and do what's best for YOUR healthy hair journey!!
 
Nothing much going on here. My hair is still straight from going to the salon last week. I'm wearing it in a ponytail bun. When I wear a regular ponytail the ends look too thin. I get tempted to chop off my bonelaxed ends,but I won't.
