Did a deep condition this morning and then popped to my bss. I could spend hours in that place! Got a new hair accessory and my very first half wig for a winter PS.
 
Hi beauties!!
I'm sitting here DC while watching real housewives of atlanta. I can't wait for the season premiere 2nite!! I've always luved kenya moore hair so I'm really glad that they added her to the cast. I'm excited 2c her hair styles. "Gone with the wind, fabulous!"

Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch Q using LHCF
 
Should be going to the beach today so I'm gonna attempt to rock some sort of bun. IF it comes out cute, I'll post pics but I highly doubt it :lol:
 
Good Morning ladies!!!!!! Thank you for the compliments!!!

Okay, so I used this Youtube video and INSTEAD of using the kanekalon hair, I used my trusty sock bun! I always hate the sock bun look on me because it reminded me of being in high school, so I am SO happy to be able to use the same bun for a more adult look. I got compliments on it at the wedding too.

Here goes!

The "trick" to it is all in the combing it around the bun and pinning it down loosely. When I rock it today, I will add some hair sticks and see if it comes out nicely.

Have a great Sunday, I am feeding Bay Bay's (mine) kids right now. :lachen:

Thanks for the info...it doesn't even look donut-ish :-)
 
I was about an inch from BSL , but due to some trimming, I will probably reach full BSL(which is my limit) spring 2013. I have about 2 inches to go.

I need to get to stop this heat fix I have been on lately :ohwell:

Hair is in 4 big braids just chillin in a satin bonnet while I work on a few hair accessories to sell in my Etsy store. Will probably apply my MN mix and moisturize my hair with some random spray that I have around here.

If we stay consistent with this we should be BSL in no time! :yep:
 
Yesterday:
washed with joico chelating shampoo,
dc with DRC 28
Black tea rinse
DC with joico moisture recovery balm
applied bee mine bee lovely mixed with wheat germ oil
Airdried in 4 braids

This morning moisturized with Qhemet burdock root moisturizer, then cornrowed in a ponytail. Will wig it tonight for work. I need to find a good sealant. I have tried many oils individually or mixed but they all make my hair hard. Daily moisturizing seem to work fine for now, but i am afraid i might need something for the winter. This is my first winter since i started this journey. Maybe i will look into some butters; my hair loves products with shea.
 
RockCreak, where have you been girl, I haven't seen you post in a while. Glad to see you back around these parts. BTW you will be BSL in no time at all.

NikkiQ, when you open your store let me know.
 
I need to be in a length challenge so that I am serious about growth.
Last year (2011) I ended the year at BSL, but then I had to cut my hair to even things out and get rid of awful ends.

2013 BSL would be divine.

~Current hair length
APL


~Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd

~Current Reggie and styling choices

Nothing

Random thought: When I go on vacay in September 2013, I want to swing my BSL hair!

The destination is Cabo San Lucas! My friend plans these trips and makes payment plans, so I always know well in advance! Already thinking I'm going to start with nice straight hair and end with buns after I go swimming :-)

I will definitely be trying this once my natural hair is long enough to be rapped around such a big bun :)
 
Hey ladies sorry about the delay... Here's how my invisible part sew in came out... I'm satisfied with the job but I won't ever get it again... No matter how good or bad of a job you get .. To me it just doesn't look like your hair is naturally parted :/
Ugh this just means I'm going to have to continue to do leave outs. But how the hell am I supposed to blend my kinky un relaxed natural hair without heat!!
