BSL 2013 Challenge

[ImanAdero]

Trying to figure out what to do with my hair. Maybe I will go to The BSS and get some hair to do another bun. This time the hair will be the right color lol

 

[Curlygirly9]

Finally tried out As I Am coconut cowash yesterday. It's amazing! I will give it a few more tries before I determine whether or not it's worthy of being in my regimen lol. Oh and my avatar and profile pics are from a flat twist out i did today with Paul Mitchell the conditioner and pink eco styler gel.

Losing my mind at my local Indian store! Been meaning to put henna back into my regimen and I'm seeing every powder and oil I can dream of!! Can't wait to use it tomorrow!!

I did henna tonight. Hair felt so soft,strong and stretched. I mixed it with eggs,amla oil,olive oil. (i usually mix it with amla powder ,eggs and olive oil).

My henna mix is always thé bomb for me. As long as i add oil. Its like à henna+oil rinse treatment at thé same time. Love it!! But hate thé rinsing out part

My my split ender came in the mail yesterday! I'm super excited... I am in desperate need of a trim and I am terrified to put my hair in the hands of a stylist again. When I reach BSL or BSB I want to get the crea clip.

So in a couple weeks I guess I'll be flat ironing my hair so I can trim these ends.

Debating on when to conduct wash day. Leaving Friday to go back to the states for a week and...my Dominican blow out *dun dun DUN* so I wanna pamper my hair and protein treat it before we leave.

I want to try that on my mom so that here only chemical will be her relaxer. Does it really give you a true black? Also, do you henna first then Indigo?

Yes, it does give a true black. I always apply henna (which I have on right now, leave it on for a few hours. Rinse, then apply indigo.

Which reminds me, I totally forgot to purchase a cheapie conditioner to help me rinse out this stuff

My hair was relaxed yesterday. Hopefully I can take a length shot soon.

 

[Sholapie]

Wash day today. I wore a wash and go but felt like i missed out in the styling stakes. I've been feeling too lazy to rollerset or anything else complicated then i stumbled upon a YouTube video about sock curls so i rewet my hair added some setting lotion and I've got a couple of socks(clean of course lol) in right now. If i like the results i will invest in satin socks if such a thing exists

I washed and did an Aphogee 2 min treatment today. Just air dried and now about to follow up with moisturizing and sealing and maybe some Bantu knots for a knot out for next week. I also purchased some Biotin and a multi vitamin to keep up with health overall. So lets keep our fingers crossed for BSL in 2013.

My henna is sitting up overnight for tomorrow's application! Will pamper my tresses on tomorrow. Going ice skating right now and rocking a braidout.

I was just talking about goin ice skating lol hope you have enough fun for me!!!

 

[Iluvsmuhgrass]

I think I'm suffering from hair anorexia. It feels like my hair is just short.... I'm forever protective styling. I think I'm going to flat iron my hair for New Year's Eve just to get a clear picture how close I truly am.

On the positive side, I've had very little breakage and shedding.

Had a blast and my braidout turned into a ponytail! Besides my blisters on my ankles it was great!

The jojoba hemp shampoo was really nice. It's sulfate free but there were some suds and my hair and scalp felt clean. This may be my regular shampoo I was looking for. I will always keep a sulfate around for occasional use.

I then used the Riche moisture masque. I kept it on a little over an hour under a plastic cap. It was a creamy consistency. I like heavy thick conditioners, so initially I didn't think it was thick enough. After rinsing out, my hair felt soft and moist but not over conditioned. After that I used the Tahitian vanilla and coconut leave which wasn't a hit for detangling my 3b/c hair. I air dried a bit for a few hours in 4 braids. I just twisted with the papaya curly soufflé. Trying to keep these twists in until tomorrow am and hoping for a great twist out!

Ok it's almost time to take the twists out!

 

[Curlywurly10]

Did an aphogee two step protein treatment the other day. It was my first time and I'm not sure my hair liked it! I thought my hair liked protein but though my hair still felt soft (I deep conditioned after the treatment), I did notice more breakage. I think I will stick to light protein treatments from now on.

My very first apoghee 2 step was perfect!!! (maybe cause it was thé first réal protein treatment)...every time i retried fail ! 2 weeks ago last try and ...fail. Breakage more than usually. What is better for me and thé best so far is on damp hair applying aphogee 2 min overnight + detangle with it. Great résults. Ill now only stick to that. It works great.

 

[NikkiQ]

Aphogee 2min on overnight? That doesn't leave your hair too hard coolsista-paris?

 

[pookaloo83]

Loose twists already looking like ****. May take them out or may redo them. They are strict about how we wear our hair in school. No braidouts for me, because hair can't touch the collar. So it will be buns and twists up In A pony for a year.

I wore my hair down in Friday and the instructor didn't say anything but she got on the white girls who's ponys were touching their collars. And my twists were touching mine but i dont know. I may not be so lucky on Monday.

Hey ladies,

I went to Sally's a couple days ago and bought some Kerapro deep conditioner ( not the exact name) because it was on sale for $5. Now it may be a little late to ask since it's in my hair now but any experiences with it good or bad?

I just used my sample Pak of KeraPro Restorative treatment just now and my hair was ok. Maybe because it followed my Sukesh Ayurveda Treatment which made my hair strong but a little stiff. I'm going to buy another sample and try it on a non-Ayurveda day. Let us know how you like it.

Finally did my henna today and will leave this in for about two hours. Can't wait to see the results!

Never hard ! I took à risk thinking hair might all fall out...but no. Its as if its à gentle protein treatment . I sometimes leave it in for only 3 hours when i have no time.
I do this every 10-15 days
My fine hair likes protein..
This apoghee 2 min overnight is thé right dose for me. No dry hair,no hard hair. I then co wash.
Next week im gonna do the same but adding coconut oil too. I need hair super moosturized as im gonna flat iron.

It was good... pretty soft hair. I don't know if that's because of the overnight pre-poo I did or the Kerapro DC though. I'll have to try this one a couple times and see.

Hey ladies! It's been months since I've traveled in the hair section & I KNOW I ain't right! My hair is doing...okay...knew back in Aug I wasn't going to hit BSL as originally planned for this year but it's okay...2013 here I come. With my last trim & relaxer I'm a little past APL. My ends look so much healthier but I can tell my hair growth has slowed down since I started my HHJ...& I can only blame myself because I fell off my water & vitamin intake. So I'm making a vow to myself to get back on it starting tomorrow morning. Oh, & if I have the patience I plan to henna sometime this week. I think I'm about 3 inches away from full BSL so I'm realistically giving myself until July now. Washed tonight & currently DC'ing w/ Alter Ego...will try & take pics after I rinse to show where I'm at. Good to be back in the game!

 

[mscece1]

I'm in

My current Length is APL
I'm Natural
I hope to make BSL by July 2013
My current reggie is to shampoo and DC 2x weekly and wet bun is my ps of choice. I allow myself one heat pass per month.

 

[lamaria211]

Welcome mscece1!
My hair is finally back to normal, just moisturized and sealed using Elasta QP mango butter and EVOO

 

[growbaby]

Finals are over! I'm free at last! Did a hot oil treatment with a mix of my last bits of hot 6 oil evoo ovco & grape seed oil. Followed it with a clarifying poo, then a DC my hair is in 4 flat twists set on flexirods for a twist out tomorrow.
