BSL/MBL 2015 Challenge

I can't wait to get home and wash my hair. I'm out of town and I don't have any of my hair stuff. I thought about cowashinhg here in the hotel, but I never heard of the conditioner and I don't want any trouble :lol:
 
So after WEEKS of being lazy and doing nothing to my hair, I finally washed and deep conditioned yesterday. I'd been wearing a closure wig to keep hair tucked away in the cold weather but now that it's gotten pretty warm again, I'll be trying to do more wash n go's.
 
I got a new lace wig yesterday. It is 18 inches so it goes past my waist. Between that one and my new half wig I should be set for a few months.

Dh gave me a hair compliment last night. I just washed my hair and redid my wig braids and he was like "your hair looks really good". I guess the Kerastase products are really helping. My hair looks fuller, shinier and dh says it looks darker too. I used a volumizing conditioner and a thickening serum on my scalp.

I just had to take a pic of myself walking past the storefronts. I couldn't believe that was me with that hair.
Sigh.. BSL come faster
 
I'm having one of those itches to cut my hair. HELP.

The usual suspects are suffering (nape and crown) and I have a thing for even hair. I've been pinning bobs lately and find myself longing for one or a SL layered cut...

I may just go get a trim and see how it looks after that. I haven't had a trim in a while.
 
Adiatasha it looks good, i check myself out when i walk past those window mirrors as well, probably look like a crazy lady to whoever is inside.

currently on a wash and air dry kick to give my hair a break from heat to help me reach my goals. i probably won't straighten it out again until april for my sis in laws birthday and then back into heat free styling. hopefully i will make bel in the summer and mbl by the end of the year...im just trying to stay focused and away from my flat iron.
 
This was such a bad hair week for me. I was so busy I didn't moisturize or style or anything. I'm going to DC overnight tonight to revive my hair.
 
I'm going to wash my hair tomorrow and actually use heat with my dc. I have been too lazy to use heat lately, but my hair needs it.
 
Co washed with hairveda's ultra hydrating hair cleansing rinse this morning as my hair was feeling quite heavy with products. I find water dripping down my back from my braids irritating on my skin, but the scalp needs to be clean for hair growth.....Will moisturise with scurl and water mix and seal with shea butter when its almost dry....On a happy note, my hair is growing! I'm praying for strength to stretch my braids for a month.

The itch to unravel them and have my own hair is real. Also fighting the urge to texlax my hair, that would be a pity tho
 
I washed my hair today with Kerastase Elixir bain and did a dc with Volumactive mask and complexe. I used heat for 15 minutes. Now I'm letting my hair airdry slightly so that I can detangle and rebraid it. I'm loving this easy breezy regimen, but I do miss my straight hair.

I miss my hair!!!!:cry::cry::cry: You're so lucky Prettymetty
 
My half wig/wig cap broke off my hair in the center a bit. The indentation from the wig cap rubbed my hair off. I am just going to wear my new lace wig. Half wigs aren't made for me and my big head/big braids underneath.

Don't cut your hair quirkydimples. Get a bob wig instead.

I didn't cut it. I just got a trim with some long layers to blend in the crown. I also had her separate the nape and trim it. The phone app won't let me post multiple pics, so here's one. I used the headband method to get the waves.

now that i'm 22 weeks post i'm really starting to notice my new growth. it is of a similar texture of my relaxed hair but when touched it feels differently. I also think i need to start using a lot of conditioner when i detangle i think i am experiencing a little breakage when i do because i dont use enough. im gonna start trying it with cheap condish next time i wash. and also i added cowashing back into the regime.
 
I have been very quiet for the last few months due to a combination of work and school. I'm dropping out of this challenge due to a much needed haircut I received last week. I was trying to transition, but the breakage and tangled just overwhelmed me. No matter how much conditioner I used to provide slip, my protein/ moisture balance routine, or finger detangled my hair; I just could not get any reprieve. My hair is so much better right now. I do miss the length, but it will grow back.
 
Length check....can someone please beg my damned hair to grow! Its getting annoying. Thought it had grown a bit. Oh well, at least its not breaking

fifigirl you took your twists down early lol. Your hair looks great.

PlainJane Silicon Mix is great for cowashing. It has ceramides to strengthen your hair.

Tomorrow is wash day. I will wash with Elixir Ultime, dc with Volumactive ampli ciment and then I will redo my braids. I am going to be wigging it until the end of April.
 
Hello Ladies!
I know I'm SUPER late, but I'd like to join this challenge. I used to be on LHCF when I was relaxed, but its been a while. I just renewed! My 2year natural anniversary is in May and I'm excited. I blow-dried my hair for a trip and realized that I was a bit past APL!! Yesssss! LOL The struggle is real haha. You ladies are such encouragement. I think BSL is possible by the end of the year. My starting pic is in my signature!
 
^^ it's a shame how long I've been on this thread and don't know what ceramides are. I'm not crazy about the smell but it does instantly soften my hair.
 
*pops in* I used a condiitoner with ceramides before! LOVED IT! Then of course couldn't find it again. .... sad day. I need to buy this silicone mix!! Thanks!!.... *back to wishing I was in this challenge*
 
I've been mostly lurking but still a part of this challenge. I'm straightening my hair this weekend and will post a length check update.
