I think if I could stick to One hair care line it would be Creme of Nature Argan oil line. All the products are still bogo at Walgreens and I plan on purchasing one of everything today! Except the oil moisturizer (it has mineral oil as the 2nd or 3rd ingredient. Ill stick to my staple leave ins (Silk elements and Aveeno Nourish) but I love the poo, oil treatment and DC
 
Trying to get on this finger combing band wagon! Here is a finger combed bun that I thought looked ok.

I'm hoping this will help my retention because I think my ends are looking thin.. I don't know if it's all in my head or what. :perplexed

lamaria211 I'm making my shopping list for when I go home again. It'll probably be a while before I go back home so I gotta make sure I stock up.
 
Hey ladies! Don't think I've posted in here yet, but I am in. Still hanging out in the APL 2012 post, but I'm close.

I have some pics there and in my album.

Oh that's a good question! Haven't thought about it. What do you think ladies? What will we call BSL graduates??

Sent from my Android...Boom.
 
Current Length: APL
Natural
BSB by December 2013
Current reggie: Wash weekly, DC w/o heat, twists or braids to stretch hair, PS w/ buns, clarify once a month, heat every 4-6 months to trim
What I will change: DC w/ heat, still searching for a good moisturizer! My hair is low porosity - it takes forever to dry but once dry, I can't keep it moisturized.
Will come back and post picture.
 
~Current hair length - apl in back, about collarbone on sides, slightly past chin in front
~Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd - loose natural
~BSL goal month - december 2013
~Current Reggie and styling choices - wear hair in mini twists, dc overnight & condition wash once a week, protein (hydrolyzed keratin) when i want/need to, moisturize/seal/baggy on wash days, dry hair 85% under hooded dryer, wrap twists to stretch on wash days, lubricate w/ oil/butter daily, wear twists w/ ends hidden, trim every few months or when needed.
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL? - more consistency. getting back to serious protective styling. less manipulation.
~Post a beginning picture - posted one picture...will post another when i take these mini twists out.
 
Sitting with coconut oil in my hair! I need to really get some goodness out of this pre-poo because I'm using up my stash and what I plan to shampoo with tomorrow doesn't do me well. So I'm hoping the oil makes it all better lol

Gonna wash tomorrow and do a big arse Marley bun! I just love how they look so I'm gonna try it. I dunno if I want to braid up the front and sides, but I'll probably just do the bun with a faux bang.

I just love the way a big arse top knot looks and hopefully I'll be able to rock it for a week!

I like samurai! Lol. What comes next... Master?

And yes I'm at work right now , and yes I did just take 5 minutes googling " what's higher than a samurai?" :silly:
 
Just trimmed my ends 2 months late but they were hardly split, felt rough but they feel and look so much better! Currently doing an aphogee treatment, then I'm gonna DC with silk elements mega cholesterol while I watch a movie.
 
I am so tempted to join this challenge. I just joined the APL 2013 one but I may be able to make BSL by the end December 2013. I remember going from above SL to BSL quite quickly the first time because I kept my hair moisturised and bunned so I should be able to make it in 12 months if I do the same thing and retain all my growth. *still thinking* I'll come back and answer the questions before December 31, 2012 if I decide to join officially. Happy hair growing!
 
But a Sensei would be your teacher. I'm learning with you guys. I don't wanna be above anyone. No way! :nono:

I am really thinking about going relaxer free in 2013. I am going to give it a try at least, maybe, undecided. :/
 
I have about 3 inches of bone straight relaxed hair and the rest is texlaxed. Now being mostly texlaxed I think I am ready to conquer going natural.

As you can see in the photo below my very thin bone straight relaxed hair...horrible, I am cutting them bone straight relaxed ends off come January.

How long do you normally stretch your relaxers for? If you can go a long time without a problem, then trying to go relaxer free next year will likely be okay for you to do.

16 weeks is the longest I have ever gone without a relaxer.

mami2010 You can do it! I know you can. I usually go 12-16 weeks without one but I have had no issue combing through my new growth. I doubt that I am going to transition or go natural, but I am loving the fact that I don't "need" a relaxer. Rooting for you!
 
Taking the Celies down today and rockin it in a bun. I've been doing braided buns for the past week and I want to give myself a good wash session after everyone leaves our house when the party is over. If they weren't so fuzzy looking, I'd just leave them in a bun and throw on a headband.
