I've been on my hair grind pretty strong here lately and so far so good! Diet has gotten better, moisture and sealing is good, and lots and lots of protective styling. This crazy weather has my wig on delay with FedEx. Lol Otherwise, my ayurvedic regimen is working out well. Here's to rocking great hair growth by summer!

By the way, I'm thinking of trying the Inversion method to boost my growth. Anyone else on the inversion method?

@ the bold, I need to get my act together. My diets been so high on processed carbs and so low on fats and protein :nono:. I'm even craving soda again!! Total mess. I started protective styling at least :ohwell:.

I lightly sprained my ankle and have been more or less off of it for these two days. I should be completely healed tomorrow. I better be because it's wash day and I don't want to miss it :lol:!!
 
Third week with my braids (own hair). Today I cowashed and am currently dcing. I will take them out next week and rock my twists again for two weeks.

I need some alter ego. Some things I just need to keep in my stash at all times.

I know what you mean. I love my Alter Ego! Can't live without it. I use it sparingly though (after a color treatment or just as a special treat with my steamer). I have a good sized jar and I've been nursing it for several years. Fall and winter are the perfect times to break it out, since it really helps with shedding.
 
Retwisted my twist cowashed and dc'd last night...I always said I never wanted twist but it's been working out do far especially since I'm working out now

Oh no! You've have a small setback, you'll get back on it!! I just keep looking at the clothes in my closet that I can't wear. I'm actually about to get a bit harder on myself this week because my scale isn't moving fast enough and my DH and I are going to a concert in three weeks. But my hair thanking me is my biggest motivation. You can do it!
 
My wig came in yesterday!!! I'm to excited. But I got my hair shampooed and roller wrapped. So now I'm like I wanna wear my hair down for a few days before I cover it up. Always something ....Lawd. lol
 
Hi Ladies!

I just wanted to share my new lazy protective style with you. I must say, I'm pretty dogone proud of my innovative laziness. .:-)

So I started out by finally correcting my mud wash fiasco I told you guys about the other day. I did an ACV rinse, a quick DC, and cowash. Then I put my hair in medium sized twists and let it air dry (I did all of this on Saturday).

Rewind to Friday night. I'm sitting on my sofa with my bestie having drinks and reminiscing about the fabulous vacation we had a few years back (where we bought said beverages). We were both laughing at the fact that I'd been walking around with mud wash in my hair for almost a week. While pondering over what to do with my hair I had a revelation. I remembered that several months back I purchased some Marley hair and it was still in my trunk. So I ran out to the car and grab the bundle of hair, grab a thin scrunchie, and proceeded to twist the hair around it in individuals.

Here are the results...instant PS! I really like it. :-)

Hi ladies, I love your hair. I'm learning more protective styles and decided on buns due to this harsh cold weather. I wore my hair out 3 times this month and noticed broken hairs. I know it's because of the cold weather and not wearing my hair in protective styles. I think I will wear my hair in buns for the rest of the winter and cowash once a week.

Thank you!! :)
That's terrible -6° OMG!! I saw on the news this morning that some schools were closing or opening late in my area. I feel bad for children walking to school in this weather.. I'm sure your ds is happy to be off today.. I remember those days lol.

That is exactly what I am doing. I bun EVERYDAY & believe me, it gets boring but, it is too cold out not to. I would like to up my co-washes to twice a week, but I cant find the time! I have decided to GHE 3 times a week, also.

Thankfully, winter will be over soon! I cant wait!! lol
 
No school or work for us either. It literally took my five hours to drive 15 minutes away due to the flurries we had. FIVE! :nono:
 
My neighbor just text me no school for the boys tomorrow either and sent me this

Froreal3 the city better get that snow up! Are you in the South or west coast? The colder states can deal with snow but it is just too cold lol.

Yeah ckisland. No school today. So happy. I'm wondering if we open tomorrow...:ohwell:

As disastrous as yesterday was. . . I have no idea what everyone's going to do
:nono: . 3 inches of snow max, and everyone lost their mind. Sigh

ETA: Yep. No school tomorrow

Hey! I have been out of commision in this thread! Well I have had my Sengalese twists in for a little more than 7 weeks now. Wasn't planning to take them out until next week but I'm home all day due to the weather and started already. Just from the few I've taken out it looks like I'll need a major trim but hoping after I wash & DC tonight it will look a lot better. I don't want to have to cut off my progress!!
 
I have been MIA for almost a month now. Work has been kicking my booty! Anyhoo, I broke down and went and got my hair flat ironed (I know, I know after I signed up for the bun challenge and no heat etc). I went a month though lol---that's the longest I've ever gone without flat ironing my hair (usually I do it every 2 weeks). So here is what the results looked like---I think it' safe to say I'm officially BSL? What do ya'll think?

Oooo Jace032000 your hair came out so nice and sleek. Very nice! Looks BSB from the pics, but I can't really tell since I'm not looking at a bra or your shoulder blades. BSB/BSL could be the same thing on you (like me) so who knows? All I see is lots of luscious, healthy hair!

newnyer I started taking down some braids I've had in for 3.5 weeks. Saturday would have made four, but I started taking them down due to being snowed in.

I keep forgetting about the GHE.. I love it but I never stay consistent. I might up my co-washes also but my hair takes forever to dry and by morning it's still wet in the middle. When I get home from work I take my hair down m&s and make two big braids, unravel in the morning and bun again. I am getting tired off it but I don't want anymore unnecessary breakage from this weather.
 
Schools were closed again today due to all the ice we had in the South. So I played with my new girl Vogue Crop by Bump and I love it. It was a little tight so I cut the straps out. She curled great too.
