BSL 2013 Challenge

[Cattypus1]

Wash day has finally come to an end!
I clarified with Kenra, heavy protein treatment with Aphogee 2-step, tea rinse, steam DC with a mix of Joico MRB, Roux PC, cocoveda oil, and creamide oil mix. I applied Darcy's botanicals daily leave-in and now I'm air drying using the scarf method. My hair is happy !

Wash day for me too. I tried the tea rinse using my mango and peach tea and did my dc with L'Oreal Repair Mask with ceramides. Leave-ins NEXXUS Headdress and Humectress Luxe. Wen styling gel--twist out. Just waiting for my twists to dry. I don't know if the tea had anything to do with it but I combed out a lot less hair. My hair feels wonderful!

Okay.........here goes trying to post take 2! My stuff disappeared. Anyway, so I did a sulphur oil scalp massage last night and a trusty moisturize and sealing and then this morning I got in a much needed, overdue workout at the gym. I feel SO GOOD, I can't believe I've been depriving my body like that.

Tonight I'm going to do a co-wash and get the intended experience from my beloved WEN WVM. I've been m & s everyday with that stuff and now that my stash is running low, I need to slow my roll and look for a cheaper moisturizing alternative. I am SCARED, but I want to preserve my "good good" a bit longer. Y'all know w/Chaz being my "baby daddy" and all WEN gives me life!! Out of Darcy's Botanicals leave in and Elasta QP Mango Butter, which one is better choice??

And ur um, I know this isn't the relationship forum, but y'all are my girls and a sista is in love. Just wanted y'all to be the first to know.

Yeah and all that other lovey dovey gushy stuff! LOL

I mean to cowash today, but it didn't happen, it's only 7, I can still do it, but I won't (too d@mn lazy) on another note, I took my topknot down and did a little pull test and at least the front is growing, so that means the back is too, right? LOL. Hope you ladies are having a good weekend!

It has to be the tea because I had a lot less shed hair after my tea rinse as well. I plan to do the same next weekend minus the protein.

Did you use the new tea you bought? I plan to use tea again next week, too. Did you leave the tea in with your DC or rinse out?

I went to Sally's and I went a little crazy with the 30% off, don't judge me . I'm in a perpetual search for the perfect moisturizer and possibly finding a co-wash 613 alternative, we'll see how this goes.

 

[Seamonster]

When did dollar tree start selling spin pins? I don't use the ones I have lol

Ooow, I have been wanting to try those spin pins. Are they a dollar? Do you think the 99 cent store has them too? What didn't you like about them?

I've been a complete hair bum the past week. That needs to change. Tomorrow is my 2 year nappiversary and I can't celebrate with wack hair. Plus clean hair will put me in a better mood

 

[SincerelyBeautiful]

I tried a new moisturizer last nite for my M&S session last nite. I used Elasta QP mango butter with olive oil and sealed with extra virgin coconut oil. Is not bad at all it's a little thick but it's manageable. And it smells really good too so that doesn't hurt!!! I'm a try it again just to see if I actually like it to include it in my stash or not.

I've been reading good things about the L'Oreal line of products. I've been using their ceramide condish and love it. They have some association with Mizani which makes me feel a lot better about their products. I read that they have a cleansing condish that I intend to try. I also read about the AsIAm products. Let us know how you like them.

I used the LA triple Resist conditioner yesterday as a CW and I liked it. My hair felt very smooth but slightly coated.

I think i heard about L'Oreal being affliated with Mizani. I was tempted to try the products out. Thanks for the review And the last time i went to Sallys, the sales rep was telling me how the AsIAm Coconut Cowash was their biggest seller and one of the most raved about product.

Yes, I'm interested in knowing your thoughts on the AsIAm products too.

Cattypus1 & KiWiStyle, will do! I've really wanted to try As I Am products and I figured this was my chance to try them.

 

[Sholapie]

Hopefully I can still reach BSL this year but I just trimmed another 3 inches or thereabouts. I feel a bit silly for joining a length challenge and cutting and trimming but I am trying really hard to gain thickness and am really happy with my decision to cut. It doesn't feel like i've lost a lot of length but it does feel like i've gained thickness

 

[mami2010]

Dusted my ends today!

 

[HeChangedMyName]

Ok so it seems like my hair growth had slowed feeling mehhh about it all

 

[GettingKinky]

I love my KISS wash day routine. The whole thing takes less than 90 minutes.

Dry DC with AOHSR
Poo with baking soda
Condition with either kenra or aphogee
Rinse with ACV
Put in my DB leave in
Air dry in a bun or pony tails

All done.

 

[NikkiQ]

Just removed shed hair before shampooing and applying DC. Gonna leave it on overnight and detangle & rinse tomorrow. Itchy scalp no more.

Ok, I think I just over spent @ sallys. I need sum advice. I paid 94 bucks for a standing dryer. Is that a good price? It was originally 140. In total I spent 150. I'm having buyers remorse. I couldn't help it. I also bought a much needed flat iron & products I always wanted to try like ecostyler & as I am cowash cleanse. I am going to goggle the dryer & if its cheaper online, ill take this back.

On another note, my wng was a semi success. Initially it looked great, but b/c of the humidity & rain yesterday it started to become a wavy afro. So I braided for a braidout the next day. I think this is my best braidout. I will post pics on Monday.

I just checked amazon & apparently these standing dryers are expensive. The minimum is like 100 bucks. I saw the one i bought on amazon for the same price i paid. so im feeling alil better bout spending that much for a dryer

@pellohello I mix 1 tablespoon baking soda with two cups warm water until it's dissolved. I keep it in a squeeze bottle in the shower and it lasts for 2-3 washes. Then I pour it over my head and rub it into my scalp. My hair always comes out so soft afterwards. I just started doing this about a month ago and I think this is going to be the only poo I use going forward. I always finish with an ACV rinse to balance the pH.

 

[Guinan]

I just realized I took my hair pics on my phone & not my ipod. So I can share my fabu braidout/wng with yall.

My wng/braidout was achieved by using Hawaiian silky moisturizer and proclaim aloe vera gel. when my hair became a afro I rewetted my hair using Hawaiian silky and then braided it
