BSL/MBL 2015 Challenge

I'll probably wear a braid out tonight since my hair has been braided up. My jet black hair makes it look so much more defined. Trying to make it until the end of the year before I use heat. Almost there!
 
Prettymetty I did a Demi-permanent rinse so it's basically permanent. It's funny you say that because I dyed it so I could resist the urge to go lighter. I'm trying to wait until I'm full natural before I go light.

With this weather you're still able to maintain your Dominican blowout?

Yes mam. My blowout is almost 3 weeks old now. I have a tiny bit of frizz, but that's no biggie. When I go out in the rain I either cover my hair with a scarf or use an umbrella. With each blowout my hair becomes more frizz resistant

I usually go a shade or 2 lighter than my natural brown so that I can use rinses. Once I go black I can't go back :lol: One time I had to dye and bleach my hair to get the black off:blush:. Luckily there was no breakage...I had it done at a high end salon.

I eventually want to go really light. Not quite blonde but definitely light. :yep: but I'll have to wait and see how much my natural hair can bear.
 
I think I have the flu. My hair looks like poo. If it weren't for headbands what would I do? :lachen:

No, seriously I look bad. I am sweating out a fever so my hair is just getting bigger and bigger. I threw on a new headband and put my hair in a low bun.

Thanks ladies. I am wearing my hair up again today. It has been raining off and on. I can't wait to get my blowout next Tuesday
 
So hubby has made it clear he's tired of me not showing my hair. (I'm always in PS like wigs, braids, crotchet.) He said, "I paid all that money for your hair, I want to see it!" :grin: I can't hardly blame him, though. Whatever I want for my hair I get, soooo hubby wins!

I'm gonna become a master at cute updos and fancy buns. And I'll wear my hair down 1-2 times a week. That should keep him happy. At least it's not a wig!

My hair was dry, dull and frizzy so I moisturized in sections with Neutrogena silk touch and sealed with argan oil. Now I have smooth, shiny moisturized hair. I was afraid that a good moisturizer would make my hair stiff and heavy, but I still have swang :rocker:

Did you apply that to your flat ironed hair? If so, do you get any reversion from it?

I totally understand. I wigged it for a year after my big chop, because I thought he would hate my short kinky hair. When we met it was relaxed and Mbl. I secretly big chopped while I was pregnant with my daughter (no transition).

Dh loves my natural hair. I am a straight haired natural mostly, but he is happy as long as I am wearing my hair. Every now and then I unleash the kinks :rocker: :lol:

I am in love with my new ouchless scrunchies. They are a soft chiffon type material and they don't snag my hair at all.
 
Finally seeing the negative effects of bunning, my hairline is thinning :( so scary, I don't want to be bald and edgeless. Gonna have to do some mini braids/twists and wear them down for a few months. I been said I was going to wear them in the fall/winter but didn't have time to do them over. Maybe I'll do them Saturday night

Wigs broke off my edges. It seems like if you protect your ends your edges suffer. Now I'm just wearing my hair down and out. My ends are fine, but it's time to let my scalp breathe and let my hairline thicken up
 
Even though I've somewhat neglected my hair this past week by not putting my Shea Butter on it daily; I did, however, kept it in a protective hairstyle all week. My hair has yet to be washed and doesn't look too bad. So, 2 more days 'til school is out for work & Grad School. Looks like Friday is hair day.

I wore a wig for a short period and the wig cap broke my edges a bit, probably wasn't the right kind to use.

is there a wig cap that will give you less wear and tear on your hairline?

i really want to use wigs for the next year and worry that the wig and wig cap may be thinning my hair. i try wearing the wig further down my forehead so it doesn't lay directly on my hairline but i'm not sure its helping. i brought a lacefront thinking maybe if i leave the edges out that will help. i dunno. i'm kinda disappointed since i have limited styling options
 
I wear a spandex cap under my wigs and then a regular one over it to tighten it up the hold or flatten my hair a bit more if needed. Also the 2nd cap works to tuck wig combs under instead of attaching them to your hair if you use them.

Maybe your buns tied too tight? I dont put stress on my buns, and I usually grab all the hair, twist it into a bun than pin in the bun. No scrunchy. I also lightly put moisturizer and oil on edges daily. My edges are in great shape from this method.
 
Froreal3 I used the nylon stocking cap kind. Stocking material ripsout my hair like velcro :( I tried to make an ouchless band for my ponytails out of pantyhose and it would rip a few strands out each time. I threw that ish away :lol: My hair is sensitive to most fabrics. I can use silk, satin, chiffon and certain cotton blends

My buns were never pulled tight so I think it's from using too much gel. I was running low on my pomade so I started using gel for my edges.

I don't think my hair is long enough to do it that way and idk how to straighten my hair properly and neither does anyof these hair stylist where I live lol
