BSL/MBL 2014 Challenge

Just used my spray and slathered coconut oil onto 4 sections.

What shall I do with my hair next? Maybe I'll braid it myself? Or I think I'll so the marley twists! Those don't take so long lol.
 
Tonight I plan on DC for about an hour and then installing my new curl formers. I hope I can sleep in them. I plan on buying a couple of cute head scarves from Sally's to jazz it up a bit. I will post pics if I really stick to my plan.
 
I straightened my hair and decided I'm going to need help relaxing this time. I'm going to get my mom to help because I move so slow with my relaxer. I'm just so picky I can see us arguing the whole time lmbo. I may not be relaxing Sunday after all I'll find out when is a good time for her. I'll wait because I'm actually cringing at the thought of the half and half method. Off to watch tu videos as a refresher.
 
all right so i did the search and destroy for the first time ever yesterday... dang that takew long!!!

i finished washing hair just now and guess what i saw.....: splits again!

i feel like cutting everything off!!!

the back seems to have less of them, the middle is kinda hard to see as i had cut that damages area really short compared to other parts. the front seems to have most splits.

do any of you to throught this? having the impression of seeing splits all over?!
should i just cut really short? but i will never ever make goal length.

i had already cut from bsb to past sl... would i have to cut to nl or what?
 
Bought some goodies at Sally's today! I got Beautiful Textures Leave in Conditioner (because I've just been using rinse out conditioners and lotions and I just wanted something meant for leaving in) and KERA smoothing and moisturizing DC (this also has protein in it too). I plan on going back later to get some Hair One and maybe a denman brush and some flexi rods(I got a couple gift cards for Christmas :look:). I'll let yall know how all this works on my hair.:yep:
 
coolsista-paris I don't like search and destroy, it seems impossible and tedious. I trimmed my hair a couple weeks ago when I did a rollerset. As I took each roller down I trimmed the ends. Worked like a charm!

coolsista-paris, No I haven't done it. I heard it's good for people that have been struggling with their hair for a while. If you can get it done internationally and you have the money, I'd go for it. The process is a few weeks I believe and it's 80 USD. I think it is only available sometimes though. You might wanna check the website or email them to find out when it will be available again.
 
I did an overnight prepoo with My Honey Child Oliveyou DC mixed with a bunch of oils (Keravada Fenugreek, Bamboo Kendi oil, Moroccan oil, EVCO, and EVOO) over night with my Hairtherapy wrap. I'm going to see if I can blowdry and lightly flat iron my hair later today for a LC.
 
All done! Took me 2hrs 2 install last night. I slept in them & then woke up & sat under the dryer for 30min.

I then pinned them up & plan on wearing it this way for 2wks & then the last couple of days ill where the curls down.

Here r the pics

Very nice!!!
 
Washed with Kenra Moisturizing Shampoo and Dc'd with Silk Elements Kera DC. Applied Beautiful Textures Leave in Conditioner and followed up with mega growth oil. I wasn't impressed with how my hair felt when I was rinsing the conditioner out or applying my leave in, but now as my hair is drying it feels pretty soft. So I don't really know how I feel about these products yet. I'm trying to find that moisture protein balance but I feel indifferent. Oh well. I'll bun later.
 
I wasn't asked but it's Green house effect. It's basically bagging the head with/without products to preserve or increase moisture. It works off the natural body temperature to mimic what a green house does for plants.

Many use oils as a heat less hot oil treatment. Spritz with water and apply the oil. There are many variations on this and many threads on it and even last year challenges. Not sure if one is going on for 2014.

My first flat iron. I think it came out well for the first try. I like it but I am too lazy to be doing this more than maybe twice a year.

Thanks jennwantslonghurr! I put Aphogee Green Tea and Keratin after shampooing. Right before blow drying, I used Tresemme Heat Tamer spray. Then right before flat ironing each piece, I put a little bit of IC Fantasia Heat Protectant serum. :look: If I get any heat damage after all that, them things don't work! :lol:
 
Beamodel Thank you! It took forever. I definitely can't be a straight haired natural. Plus I already miss applying my 50-11 leave ins, butters, moisturizers etc! :perplexed :spinning:
