BSL by Dec 2011

UPDATE: Got my relaxer today after being 4 months post, planned to go longer but like I said, my hairdresser is doing renovations soon. Anyway, I just hit BSB but layered, I don't mind it because it'll grow out over time. Here's a picture to show my new bangs that was inspired by the Chanel Iman picture in my blog post here on LHCF. Length picture for my next update for sure since I plan to wash my hair in 3-4 days. I hope to stretch for 5 or possibly 6 months for my next update, we'll see — baby steps!

Don't mind my face I like being silly. :lol: :look: :lachen: Oh and I was on the phone with a friend since he wanted me to show him my new bangs so I was trying to talk while talking the photograph. :look:

ETA: My hair isn't super straight since I don't allow my hairdresser to flat-iron my hair after relaxing anymore, she just uses the blow-dryer and round brush to get it straight.

Hey ladies! I haven't been in here a lot mostly because I am not doing anything with my hair. Stretching my relaxer by wearing wigs. HHG!!
 
Hey ladies!! I haven't been here in a while, my non-hair growing life's been keeping me more than busy. My hair growth has been kinda stagnant lately. I'm guessing it's the lack of moisture in my hair so I'm switching moisturizers, will start using coconut/castor oil and trying to find a moisturizer to use before I blow dry.
 
Checking in.

I went to the Aveda salon and got highlights. So I'm going to REALLY have to concentrate on moisturizing my hair now.

I also got it straightened, so hopefully I can still wear my hair curly... If not, I'll just have to be a straight haired natural (but I don't really want to do that).

Once I finally wash my hair (not for at LEAST another week, I'm trying to rock this press until it can no longer be rocked lol), I'll put it in box braids.

Happy hair growing!

No pitchas? :nono: Shame on you :lol:
 
UPDATE: Relaxed with PICTURES! :grin: Made BSB barely but claiming it to stay positive, it won't be long before I'm confident in my hair's length since it'll grow out more by the next relaxer. I put my hair in a bun to make it wavy with volume so it's not sleek straight to see the length fully, sorry. It would have been blow-dried straight but I'm in a no heat challenge until I reach waist length.

For my wash yesterday, I did a pre-poo with my safflower oil-EVOO-conditioner-molasses mixture, shampooed with Aussie Moist Shampoo, and conditioned with ORS Hair Mayonnaise. I know it is not advised to use protein after using molasses but I wanted to strengthen and provide intense conditioning to my hair. As a result my hair came out feeling really moisturised and strong. :yep:

I have new goals, I'm going to take better care of my scalp and take more initiative instead of being lazy so I can RETAIN, RETAIN, RETAIN. I'm also going to watch my moisture/protein balance more carefully instead of just using what I feel like on my hair for frivolous reasons.

PICTURE TIME! :D

cute :yep:!!! my hair's in four ratchet cornrows underneath

OT: how long are you stretching for?

How long do you plan to keep those braids in?

I was thinking about going for 16 weeks, but I may not last that long and stop at 12 which is this up coming week. It depends on how my hair acts once Monday comes and its time for me to take these cornrows out that been in for 3 weeks.

i've had these in for 2wks , im gonna take them out after the 3rd week, by then i will be 11wks post, so i'll either just keep my hair out (bun) for that 12th week and then relax or just rebraid them and continue to stretch.

my last long stretch didnt go too good (not sure why b/c stretching is normally no problem for me), so im really thinking about relaxing at 12 wks, im REALLY trying to retain everything with no setbacks

decisions, decisions
 
Checking In:

So I added a couple of tracks to my hair for valentines day because I hate the middle of my hair its a little to thick for me. I also used a ruby red rinse that only kinda shows in the light which sucks because its kinda windy and raining in california but the sun came back out today. Yay :grin:. All in all my scalp is itching like crazy so this weekend I will take the time to wash and flat iron it back out.
