Ok here is a better picture to see my starting point. My hair has been straight for the past 4 days.

Wow I've been away for a few days and there are so many new posts to read and so many pictures of beautiful hair to see. :-)

Froreal3 your flat iron job came out so beautifully and you are so pretty!
 
It's about time that i finally hit BSL and MBL this year...it's been too long. I'm positive this year is MY year!!!

1. Current hair length - grazing BSL but after a trim it will probably be BSB
2. Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd - Texlaxed
3. Goal month - BSL July...MBL Dec
4. Current reggie and styling choices - Oil with JBCO, Moisturize with ORS olive oil or S-Curl and seal with EVCO. Style choice will be wigs
5. What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL/MBL? I wont relax every 6 months this year. I plan on relaxing 3 times this year. Less manipulation and continuing the inversion method
6. Post a beginning picture - in siggy
 
DCing overnight with Camille Rose Algae DCer then I will moisturize, etc do a light blow out to rebraid to go back under my wig.

It's only been 2 days into the new year and I've already fallen out of synch with my regimen. I had planned on bunnng my hair for the next month but a couple of days ago I broke down and flat ironed my hair (actually my husband did it O_O). In addition to torturing my hair with heat…I've failed to seal my hair AND last night I failed to wrap my hair with my silk bonnet. I've GOT to get back on top of my hair care. All of your pictures have been very encouraging.
 
Checking in. I am in Celie braids under a baggy and scarf. This will be my PS from now until May. I hope to gain those two solid inches which will put me a mbl. Sigh...

I don't know why, but I have been obsessing over hair videos & raw food products. One hair video that I'm obsessing over is utuber heyfranhey. She uses natural products. I also been Obsessing over hair washing tutorials.

I've noticed that a lot of the hair washing tutorials that I have been watching, do an oil rinse after they r done washing their hair. Do any of y'all do that? I think I'm going 2 try that with olive oil. Its suppose 2 help with moisture retention & I think slippage.

Hey I have oil rinsing for a while I do it at the end of my wash session and it does help with slippage and moisture retention...I use a combo of rice bran and sweet almond oil
 
@pellohello I tried it once and did not like it. I'm relaxed but my hair is naturally coarse and felt coated afterwards. So I stick to warm oil for a prepoo and wash with loreal everstrong sulfate free hydrate shampoo. It hydrates my hair and detangles it prior to conditioning. If you try the oil rinsing I would love details... which oil(s) ete.
 
Complicated Texlaxed (different textures)
Currently BSL
Reggie: I wear 3/4th wigs. I see my hair leaving out my edges and leave out. Then I see the wig to my hair. I try to keep the wig on for at last 7weeks. Then wear my real hair out for at least a week then repeat.
Plans: I really want to start wearing my real hair out again but that won't be until spring. My Reggie then would be wash 1x a week. M&s with castor oil and coconut oil every other day. Deep condition 2xs a month. Protective styling with twist outs and updos.

Wore a braid out today. Gonna be cleaning the apartment tomorrow so curly bun it is :) I'll cowash with suave almond shea butter conditioner in the morning and seal with EVOO.
 
I forgot to post but Wednesday night I washed my hair with Kerastase cleansing balm, did an addition treatment with Aphrogee 2 min reconstructor, scalp scrub and deep conditoned. I set my hair on flexirod and that was a fail... a nice moisturized fluffy fail. So I've been wearing it half up. Today is my usual wash day so I might as well get back on schedule. Prepoo with co and gso just on scalp and warm gso and safflower oil on length. If my hair doesnt seem back to normal yet while wet I will use ors replenishing pack and then I'll be done with the protein.
 
Ok ladies I'm back! I cut from MBL Back to BSL :) I missed you all! Lets do this!

I prepooed/dc'd last night with ORS replenishing conditioner and EVOO on dry hair overnight. Rinsed this morning in the shower and my hair felt AMAZING and I pretty much had no tangles since my hair had been straight. Cowashed with Suave almond shea butter con. Then I applied Beautiful Textures leave in conditioner and sealed with EVOO. Hair feel amazing, balanced, and is now protected in a nice top bun ;)
