BSL 2013 Challenge

Still enjoying my straight hair but its starting to puff up a bit. I'm hoping it last until this weekend. I keep LC almost everyday since its straight.

I think this will be the last challenge I join. I think I'll let my hair grow at its own pace, but I'll def keep lurking:). If it takes 5yrs for me to get to BSL then so be it. I'm kinda tired of always PS & not enjoying my hair. Next yr I plan on styling & profiling:)
 
My bestie finally got a chance to flat iron my hair like she's been dying to do. She did it Sunday. Its now Tuesday and its still hanging in there. Granted the ends frizzed up instantly, but I already knew that would happen

I have come to the conclusion that I cannot do without my Cantu Shea Butter leave in. I have been using this as my leave in as well as a daily moisturizer since the beginning of my hair journey. I have tried different moisturizers to see what other ladies were raving about but I always always seem to come right back to Cantu. It leaves my hair very moisturized and cool to the touch. And since my hair likes protein, it doesn't bother me to use this everyday. This will always be my staple no matter what! Cantu..looks like you're here to stay lol :)
 
Well... This app has been acting up on my iPhone 4S so I haven't been on here in awhile. My goal was to make BSL by Sept, but I didn't make it. Maybe January will be the month for me.

September is not over yet! Also, your bra is quite low.
 
The roller set didn't last very long. So now I've put my hair in individual braids. No extensions although I'll probably get a new set of extensions in the near future (maybe the next 2 weeks).

Just gonna make sure it's moisturized and strong with the GVP Joico K-Pak Reconstructor. Gotta be strong to keep this hair growing going.

Here are the braids. I'm excited because again, I'm finally seeing length which is really nice!

I have cornrows in right now. It has been two weeks. I washed my hair with them and re-did them. I plan on wearing a sew in with closure for two months and I know I need to prepare my hair for it with some protein treatment and some good deep conditioning.
I'd rather wait for November-December to see if there will be some progress
 
About to make an appointment to go get my hair done by the new stylist I found. Since my hair is already straight, I don't wanna do it again so it may be time for a sew in. Just so I can ignore it for a while.
 
OT I have been having severe spine pain that started on the back of my neck. After days of dealing with it, I finally went to the doctor. I have a cervical sprain &'have to get an X-ray of my spine to make sure it's no swelling. My doc did give me sum good meds, so the pain is less intense. The pain was so bad, I thought I was gonna faint.

I wanted to wash my hair this weekend, but I think I'll wait until next week, until the pain subdues. My straight hair is sooo puffy, but I'm digging it.

I would love to get a sew in of a cute bob. Do you know how long you want the weave to be?

Getting a sew in done Saturday morning. Had to wash and prep the hair today so I got my curls back. Tried taking my length check picture but since I trimmed it again, I couldn't do it on my own. Guess I'll have to skip this one. I'm such a bad challenge host!

Ahhhhh boo! You are not a bad challenge host. See you in and all of your glory in December, lol!
 
@pelohello - I hope you feel better. Also, I don't recall if you take spirulina or chlorella - if you do check with your doctor to see if you can increase the dosage a little - believe me it will help. If you don't take either of those - get some fresh gingerroot - peel it, scrape or chop it (as you would carrots) boil it to make tea and drink it. Drink about 2 cups a daily. It is one of the best (if not the best ) NATURAL INFLAMMATORIES!!! Reducing inflammation - reduces pain. :yep:

For 15 years I was the queen of joint pains.:yep: I have been pain free for 6 months taking chlorella, spirulina and drinking gingerroot. During rainy and cold weather, joints naturally stiffen up and Arthur acts a Plain Fool :lachen:. My joints don't ache anymore when it rains. I love tea and always drink more in the winter months - so I expect to not have any issues this winter. HTH and please feel better.

Thank's ladies. The meds r def working, they just make me sooooo sleepy. ilong, I will def try the chorella. I was taking it but I ran out and I will try the ginger root. I usually prefer natural remedies but b/c the pain was so severe, I had to resort to modern medicine.

I don't know if I'm just tired from getting up early to work out and then working long hours, but I'm over my hair obsession. I'm satisfied with my current length. I'll take more if it comes, but at this point I just want to be able to bun and maybe chop off my bonelaxed ends. Otherwise I'm just going into cruise control.
 
Is it just me or does BSL seem like the hardest length goal to reach?? I just got my relaxer and am under the hair dryer going into my 2nd hour. Oohhh the woes of long hair!! But I'm getting a much needed trim and I'm sure I'll be hovering over BSL AGAIN!! I'm determined to get there and I'm thinking by December 31, 2013 @11:59pm.

When I leave the salon I'll be headed to GNC to get back on my vitamins and getting to wig it and grow it for this last quarter of the year. BSL or bust!!
