BSL 2013 Challenge

@MicheePrings your twists look so beautiful! How do you wash your hair and keep them from unraveling


Mjon912
Thank you. I haven't washed them yet, not sure I will. Tuesday (Feb 5) will be two weeks and my scalp is already acting up so I might use some diluted apple cider vinegar and a cotton swab to deal with my scalp, and retwist the ones on the perimeter. I continue to moisturize and seal my ends every couple days.
 
In the process of making my wig!! So excited! Hope it comes out right! If this works out I'm doing a 6 month stretch and will relax this summer and be at BSL!!!! It's on!

This is why I fail at 'hide your hair' and 'ps' challenges, I haven't worn my hair down in weeks, months maybe but as soon as I said I'm down for our mini bun challenge what do I do?!? Wear my hair down smh...

On another note, has anyone used or still use hair trigger growth elixir? I am still using mine, although not everyday but I was wondering if anyone saw a major surge in growth while using it...I'm going to continue since I love the smell (vanilla pound cake)

Carmelella how do you make a wig???:ohwell:

KaramelDiva1978 that's a huge bun...it pretty tho and the shine:yep: love it!!!

tiffjust2002 your hair is gorgeous!!! I a soo jealous of the thickness!!! It looks great...I want my hair to look like yours when it grows up:grin:

Angela4769 a bun challenge I'd fail at but rollersetting I can do, I only rollerset now but I set to wrap and wear my hair straight, I'd love to try curly styes and get some tips

Looks like it's thickened up a lot. Great job! You'll be bsl in no time!
 
I havent been here for awhile because I been feeling overwhelmed with everything. My hair is feeling more soft and not tangle. Last thing I did a protein treatment my hair was a hot mess but now its good. I had did a cowash with he essences with a tea rinse
 
Heading to the beach to collect some sea glass. Might create a few new hair pieces for my store. Time to bun this hair up! Ain't trying to get any salt in it while snorkeling.

I had made my own. Use mane n tail, queen helen super cholesterol, egg,honey evco, and olive oil. I think thats a whole lot of protein

Were you experiencing moisture overload? I agree, that is a lot of protein at once :-O. How do you plan to reverse this??

Sholapie wow your hair has gotten much thicker. Nice work!
 
buddhas_mom omg that looks beautiful...how long did it take!

Mjon912 It took almost 2 hours to put in. Only because I was messing around and stopped to do other things a couple times. I kept them in over night then had to sit under the dryer for 2 hours the next day.

You are beautiful and this hairstyle suits you, now tell me how you did it so I can be like you!!! :grin:. I need all the steps, products and all. Thank you!!!

SunySydeofLyfe Thanks so much! I used clear eco styler gel, evoo, motions heat protector, a rat tail comb and 5 packs of the pinkish purplish perm rods. I think the size is 9/16 with 12 in a pack. I started in the front rolling small sections toward my face. Then rolled the back. I believe my order was heat protectant, oil, comb, gel, roller. It worked best when I saturated each section with a lot of gel first. I air-dried over night then sat under the dryer for 2 hours. It took a while to dry. Took the rollers out, separated the curls a lot then lifted the roots with a pick. The pick helped to make it look fuller. It looked better each but I had to separate the curls again each morning. Thats about it!

buddhas_mom I've got some serious hair envy going on right now :lick:, that set is lovely, it really suits you and you did a great job. :yep:

Thanks so much!

I'm not in this challenge but I so love ur hair r u natural? N please tell me wat size r these so I can try this style so beautiful omg
hairqueen7 Thank you! I am natural. I used the pinkish-purple 9/16 size perm rods. 5 packs
 
Sea glass collection was a success! Got some pretty greens and blues for some hair combs. Should work on them soon and show you guys.

SN-the link to my store is in my siggy :giggle:
 
Yesterday I made a HOT mix using EVOCO, EVOO, Walnut oil, and GSO.
Today I put some of my HOT on my dry hair and put my Wen 613 over it I left it on for about 10mins while I showered then rinsed

i was so sleep on that! beautiful things you have! i really like the earrings. after this baby, i will be shopping!
 
i guess i will be cowashing and dc'ing my hair today. i feel buildup and my ends will start tripping soon if i don't remove it. i just did a light dusting. wish i had the energy to do something cute. but it will be in my usual bun.
 
I'm sitting with my henndigo on, I have about 5 more hours before I rinse it out. I added a tad but more indigo than usual because the red is getting deeper. I hope it's not to dark...we shall see. I plan to steam DC and then leave it in until just before bed time. I'm not risking any dryness this time.

I need to do the same thing today. I am out of henna though so looks like it'll be Monday but Ill mix it up tonight. Think I may avoid the conditioner this time around for a deeper Auburn color. Pre-pooed with Sulphur oil on the scalp and grapeseed oil on the hair strands. Got a good deep condition coming my way.
