BSL/MBL 2014 Challenge

I need a good daily moisturiser for this cold & dry weather. In the summer, my coconut oil keeps my hair happy between wash days. This winter my hair feels dry and brittle even with daily castor oil. :ohwell:

have you tried baggying a few times? do you seal in your moisture?

using a oil moisturizer is helping me well.

I have never baggied. I also rarely sleep with something on my head as it always comes off. What oil moisturiser do you use? Ive been using the olive oil bottle but I am not sure it is working.
 
Duchess007 where you at chica?

Anyway, nothing new for me. Oh I'm on my third bottle of Priteva. I have one more after this one. After I'm done with the third, I'll go ahead and length check to see if I got any growth. My roots seem thicker. I'm also still using my NJoy Long & Healthy Growth oil.

My wash day was Saturday and I shampooed with Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus (love this), Dced with SSI Moisture Riche (like this and will repurchase at some point), which smells so good. I also used some Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie on one side, and Bee Mine Luscious on the other. My hair is still very moisturized two days later. I don't think I will moisturize and refresh my twists till tomorrow.

I think I'll rollerset my next wash day...not sure. I might be lazy again.
 
Ladies I got sick this past wknd so V-day hair and date plans got rescheduled :-( At least my curlformer set came out cute though lol. Promise to post pics when I do get around to flat ironing.
 
I don't know why I don't use castor oil on my hair more often... It just feels so much more lubricated and soft.

I need to do this more often.

I just used the herbal essence moisturizing cleansing conditioner and OMG, that stuff is amazing!!!! I can see that this is going to be HE #1 seller. When I read the reviews on amazon, they said that its supposed to be like WEN613, if not better. I do think it might be even better than the WEN 613. It's so good, I don't even have to DC (but I'm still going to). I think it's also as good as the shea moisture Shampoo too. It smells really nice, like mint vanilla. It has really good slip & I like that it tingles on the scalp. I will def be buying this product again.

pelohello, thanks for posting this! I can't afford another $60+ for WEN 613. The budget is uber tight these days. If this is a good alternative it's definitely going on my list of must haves. If you don't mind my asking, how much is it running?

ive been using the ors oil moisturizing lotion. its actually working well. on my new groWth and on my ends. my ends are never dry. i moisturize and seal the ends with oil then do a loos twist and in the morning its all soft. i thing olive oil works better for me than coconut oil. coconut make it kinda weard and scrunchy. ( i think i should use it for the summer). i will continue with olive oil or almond oil which give me softer ends. i once sealed with blue magic my hair was soft! but then i stop ( hearing people say is bad). my aunt only uses vaseline ald doesnt wash often but er hair......... is just thriving!!!!! i dont get it! she has brautiful mbl all the time and does nothing but wash lile once a month or 6 weeks ( i was like WHAAAAAAAAAAAT)??!


oh i also tried my own spray last week: glycerin, almond oil and water. worked great!

so when i need that i use that. depends on how my hair needs moisture.

Thank you for the reply. I bun to work and will keep using the ors lotion. I might need to be consistent with it to see results.

yeah be consistent. im loving it. keracare also has a great oil moisturizer! but the price is highe of course..... and it seems a little more heavy. although its gpod for fine hair.

i also bun at work: please please dont mess your hair up like i did. change the position of your bun if not you will loose the hair on your crown .im still recovering from that.

now instead of bunning i do this and leave it a bit loose:

Girl one side is just about mbl and the other side is like an inch shorter smh but I refuse to cut until the shorter side reaches where I want it to....im taking the manechoice vitamins and I swear its doing something. Im just about finish with my first bottle and I have 3 more to finish.

Im going to hide my hair for the next few months and hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised after these 3 bottles are finished.

Hey everyone I'd like to join this challenge!:yep::grin:

I'm natural 4a. Right now I'm full BSB. My goal is to be BSL-MBL anytime before 2014 is over. My hair is straight right now but I plan to alternate between senegalese twists and flat ironing. I also take Hairfinity. I don't have recent picture more recent than my avatar. I'll post one as soon as I get a chance.:yep:
 
Morning ladies! Wow it seems like it's been forever since I been up in this thread, actually on the forum period. I had been going thru some issues and haven't really been feeling like "hair" and all I did was put it in a pony tail. No combing, washing, DCs, and I think I only moisturized like twice a week if that. I was in a complete hair funk. I didn't even buy any hair products and I'm a PJ smh. Needless to say, I had to get it together and watch some motivational YouTube videos so that I can get back on track. So last week I decided to get some box braids installed. This would help me soooo much. It's a protective style and easy to maintain. I have been moisturizing and oiling my scalp and I plan on staying on track this time and getting back on my journey. I plan on keeping these in for about 8 weeks. I will attach a pic but I'm warning y'all now it's one of me and my natural best friend before a nite out lol.

Welcome to the partayyyyy:yay:
 
I'm getting the itch to straighten my hair. I'm on a personal goal to not use direct heat for 6mths. So far I've made it to a month. Only 5 more months to go.

I desperately need to cowash. This twist out has left my hair soo dry. I think the next time I do it, I won't do it on complete air dry hair; maybe on damp hair.
