BSL 2013 Challenge

I think while I might graze bsl by the end of year I will rejoin for next year and wait til I'm a full blunt bsl to get rid if the natural layers I got from the bald grow out.

So I started texlaxing my hair and now the difference b/w the bone straight hair and the underprocessed hair is bugging me. I had not been having great results with my go-to braidouts and I think the different textures is what is bothering me. It's making the ends of my hair look sparse. As result, I've just been bunning my hair, even though I just put a relaxer in a couple weeks ago. This is usally when I'm wearing my hair down and enjoying it.

I'm not sure what to do. Should I chop off the super straight ends (Might be a good two-three inches) or cut it little by little? I'm just not sure. Maybe I'll hang on to it until the end of the year, after I relax again, and decide then. Looks like I'll be wearing my hair up or hidden until then.

I would cut a little at a time if the length allows you to bun. If you can still bun if the 2-3" were gone, then just cut it all off.
 
So I'm back to APL after I had a deep trim.. :-( I happy that my hair is thick and healthy so I'll take that for now. This was after the relaxer and cut.
My issue is that I like my ends nice, even and blunt, smh.

I feel like my scalp doesn't like castor oil :-(

Unfortunately I put it in my Shea butter mix and although I don't use the mix on my scalp, some must have gotten on my scalp and I was soooo itchy! It was awful!

But I made two batches of the mix ::cries::

Looks like I'll just have to keep using it but be REALLY careful it's just used on my ends.
 
Who's trimming for the Fall Equinox? Not me! Lol. Although it is supposed to be one of the best days to trim, I just cannot bear to trim this time. I have no idea how my ends look because I still have my twists in, but I want to get a clear picture of how much my hair has grown when I flat iron this weekend. If I need a trim, I will get it next time I straighten. (Maybe the Oct full moon)
 
I think I may straighten my hair 2morrow. If I do, I will workout today and workout
2morrow morning. I havent washed my hair in two weeks.

I'm in the exact same situation!! I've decided to trim an inch every 8 weeks and just keep bunning for the next year until my ends are all trimmed off. I don't think I could handle the shock of cutting off 7 inches all at once.
 
Have my hair in my normal twists. Will keep em in for another week. Then I think I will try my Komaza protein strengthener.

Ladies we are in the last quarter...does any1 have any regimen changes to get that last bit of growth for the year or into the new year? I may look into adding silica to my vitamin reggie along with Viviscal. If I can get one inch per month consistently I will be ecstatic.
 
I didn't realize that the GVP Joico Reconstructor had mineral oil in it. Not sure how I feel about it now. I'm still gonna try it because I'm going to need a good protein before I put those individual braids in again next week.
 
Last style for this set of twists! I cannot wait to take them out tomorrow. I'm hoping that the styles detract from the 'oldness'.

When I first started my HHJ, my fave prepoo was ORSR + honey + oil. My hair seems to love it. Wonder why I stopped. Not having time to prepoo, ORS changed the formula...I need to find something to use in place of the ORSR in my prepoos. Preferably something I already own! (I don't know what's in there) Lol. Does anyone has any suggestions?

Last quarter changes...I have to reevaluate my vitamin plan.

ETA: I'm going to use SSI avocado condish for my prepoo. I love that stuff.

For this last quarter of the year I think I might stick to strictly bunning and incorporate the cool blowdry every 2 weeks. I'm getting lazy but the blow dried bun I made this week was much less tangled than usual. Plus I live in Chicago and winter could be right around the corner, so no ends can be out. It gets brutally cold here
 
For this last quarter, I plan to massage my scalp more. I heard about the inversion technique, but it's too much for me (makes me dizzy). Also, I would like to baggie on a regular basis.
 
Not going to be able to get my hair straighten and trimmed on Friday :cry: my hairdresser will be off. Oh well....last night I used my homemade moisturizing spray and used bask silk and honey leave in (love this stuff def. a staple) on top. My hair feels so soft today and moisturized (was starting to feel a tad dry). My braid out looks better too since the water reset my braid out.

In August I challenged myself to wear twist until my 2 year BC Anniversary in April 2014. Thus for the end of 2013 I will continue to twist my hair for 3-4 weeks intervals. I will steam and co-wash every weekend, moisturize and seal then ghe every night, oil scalp with jbco and when i take twist out do a light protein condish and deep condish treatment.

So far I'm really loving my twist and having that 100% access to my hair.

I'm not going to make it to BSL by the end pf the year. My hair is not at full APL with much thicker ends this time around thanks to the recent trim. *sigh* I just want to be able to do more complex braided and twisted sytles but my hair needs more length.
 
ojemba- I love your twists in the first picture. How long so they take to do?

jprayze - do you have AOHSR? I really like it for my prepoo/ dry DC

Here's my bun today. I'm still hardcore bunning.

It feels sooooo good to be able to wash my hair. I currently have DC on it. I'm trying to use up my stash. I'm using shea mositure, moisture retention conditioner and I sealed the conditioner with hempseed oil.

Since I'm wearing my hair down more, I decided to DC 2x's a week instead of once a week. I also decided not to straighten my hair today. I forgot that I had planned on straightening my hair once a month. I'm going to do a braidout on airdried hair. I find that doing braidouts on airdried hair caused less tangles b/c I'm able to remove the shed hairs.

I wonder how much retention I'll achieve since I'm no longer PS. I find it to be a waste to have all this hair but always wearing it in a PS. If I do PS it will only be once a week. I'll keep yall posted with this mini experiment.

HHJ:)

I decided not to do a braidout. I'm gonna rock my airdried hair. My mom hates it but my dad loves it. My hair gets pretty big when I airdry instead of blowdry.

Here the back (my dad took the pic, after minutes of begging:))
