I like the style , I have full sew in atm but it's driving me a little crazy. I have been taking vitamin b-complex so hopefully I can see the results when I take down in a couple of weeks :)

Honestly do not know how far away from BSL I am I haven't checked in a while -will update when I take down
 
Okay. Weave appointment will be next Friday. That's when she could fit me in... Luckily for me I get paid next week prior to getting my hair did lol.

So between this week and next week I need to do a hard protein and put a WHOLE lot of moisture in my hair... I'll probably ask her to take off an inch all around which will put me squarely back at BSL.

This journey to waist length is taking for fricking ever.

Lovely! Does the mean you're getting a full sew in? I'm trying to decide for myself too, I keep going back and forth. Sent from my LG G2 via LHCF app

isawstars yeah I'm getting a full head. No hair left out.

Oh and I also need to cowash the hair! I forgot about that because I've literally had the hair for since early April and it's just been in the pack it was shipped in.

Be sure to post pics when you get the hair installed! :yep: I'm really interested in getting a full sew-in with bangs and no leave out like that picture you posted. My wig is getting tiresome...
 
I don't feel like my hair has grown much, but I will do a check in June. Not sure if I will flat iron.

I'm stuck in braids until july; so no check in for me. I'm really hoping that I've made mbl by then. @ last check in, I was about 2-3inches away. & then I measured before I put my braids in & in sum places I was closing in @ 15in

I hoping for a growth monsoon by my bday:)
 
Actually deep conditioning! I haven't done it in forever!

Currently have this conditioner mix in my hair, and will most likely sleep with it. I will do protein next week prior to Friday in order to get my hurrrr did!

Oh and I'm not sure how to get rid of this smell from the weave hair... I just co-washed it, but I refuse to walk around smelling like corn chips as it gets warmer.

Any suggestions folks?
 
ImanAdero bleach bath or soak in fabric softener.

I finally let my hair shrink up! Its a little higher than neck length when shrunken, that was pretty awesome. Braided up now, I'm going to do a protein treatment sometime during this week.

silverbuttons is that healthy for the hair? I also just feel mad I even have to do that. I paid too much for the hair for this ish to be the case. I emailed the company and they suggested a vinegar/lemon bath. That sounds bad too. I'm just mad I even have to do any of that.

ImanAdero , most 100% human hair can take a bleach bath no problem. It won't hurt the hair and unless the hair is dyed it shouldn't bleed either. Fabric softener is actually traditionally used on synthetic hair, so its pretty gentle. I've seen people try the tomato thing with no hope. Does anyone have reviews from your vendor about how they got it out?
 
Going to get my TU tomorrow. I washed and DC'd this past Monday to prep for tomorrow. I used Joico Moisture Recovery shampoo, conditioner, and treatment balm.

Tonight I plan to comb thoroughly through my hair after lightly moisturizing with my spray mix to make sure I don't have any tangles so my hair dresser doesn't have any problems getting through my hair. I plan to seal with Natures blessings grease so I will have a nice barrier to slow the relaxer process.

The last 13 wks has been much better than the last time I TU. I laid off the protein the entire time until this past Monday. My hair didn't tangle at all until this last wash. I don't think I need any protein really since I henna. Or maybe I'm using the wrong protein. IDK

The last time I checked I was 2 inches from bsl. I average an inch every 3 months so I should make bsl by the end of the year. I will post pics after I get my hair straightened next week :)
 
I think there's a length check coming up... So I'm posting my LC today because next week I'll have a sew in.

Heyyyyy ladies!!! Just popped in to say hi. Life has gotten pretty hectic again. Got promoted to manager for my promotional company so that has me pretty darn busy. My stylist finally came back from maternity leave and I got a much-needed trim. My ends were horrendous! I'm very happy with the results.

@ImanAdero, have you claimed MBL yet?

@NikkiQ, your stylist did a great job. She got your hair really straight.

I still have my braids. I plan on taking them out July 1st. I will let my hair breath for about 2wks and then put the braids back in my hair for my bday vacay. I think this time I'm going to use human hair. The synthetic hair is just too bulky & its hard for me to put in a ponytail b/c its so thick.

I think I'm going to wash the front of my hair tomorrow. I used HE dry shampoo and its causing white residue.

I can't wait to be MBL. I REALLY hope that when I take these braids out, I've made it. During my 2wk break, I'm going to flat iron my hair.
 
Hello ladies! I'm back after a long hiatus. :) So my almost four year hair journey has come to an end. I went to the salon and had my hair texlaxed. I turned out great and there is still a lot of texture in my hair.
My hair is at full APL and I am ready it to grow to BSL. I am hoping that having my hair texlaxed will help me retain the inches that grow and keep it manageable.
 
A couple of weeks ago, my hair looked like it needed a trim so I went ahead and got it! It had been 6 months. I think it was the perfect trim, just enough and my hair looks and feels better.

jprayze I can't even tell it was cut, it looks longer! Are you still using the Liquid Gold oil? If so how often? I started in early May but have been inconsistent recently.

I know right. How did that happen? The stylist was so good about showing me how much she taking off and it was a good inch, maybe 1.5 inches. I have used Liquid Oil for over a year. I try to use it every day, at least every other day. I slack up a bit when my hair is straight so the oil doesn't weigh my hair down, but it is definitely my staple! I love it so much that I'm an affiliate. Let me know next time you order and I'll give you my link.
