BSL/MBL 2015 Challenge

Good we back on. I cowashed once this week, shampoo and conditioned the following day. Warm weather sneaks in on random days so I get my scalp wet like its summer time lol. I'm 9 weeks postpartum and two handfuls of hair came out after shampoo session! I feel it's a combination of daily shed hairs from my last flat iron. I will keep my eye on this. Nothing but tlc.
 
I might cowash tomorrow for the first time in a long time. My scalp is itchy and I won't have time to wash, dc, airdry and rebraid. I'll just cowash my plaits. I may not even detangle afterwards...
 
Hi ladies. I stopped wearing wigs to let my hair breathe now that the weather is warmer. I've been washing my hair and dcing like normal, but the excitement for it is over since it isn't growing like it once was. I can't wait to hear back from my Komaza analysis.
 
I just cowashed my hair with Alter Ego garlic conditioner and Oleo Relax. My scalp feels great. Now that it's warmer I may have to wash and cowash once a week.
 
Officially hooked on prepooing with conditioner. I only started doing this to get rid of some conditioners I had, but now it's a must have in my regimen. Currently prepooing with ORS replenish. I need to buy more Aussie moist 3 minute
 
Been MIA for a while as i was out on holiday. Yesterday, i decided to reassess my hair goals as i am almost clocking 2 years on my hair journey. Yes, my hair has grown longer than i imagined it could get, but my hair has stalled growth wise and i seem to be having issues retaining length. I have decided transition my hair to natural and slowly trim my relaxed ends out, so there will be no big chopping for me in the nearest future. Hopefully i will see better growth and retention by doing this.

Btw, i am loving the updated forum. :bdance::bdance::bdance:
 
Today is washday and I decided to wash my hair in the shower since it is much easier than a sink wash then dc then shower to rinse. I plan to use Elixir Ultime Bain (shampoo) and Volumactive Ampli Ciment (protein dc).

I'm wearing my new half wig today so I will attempt to post pics later.

Thanks Prettymetty! Well for the meantime, my hair is manageable so i am wearing buns. I am thinking when it becomes harder to handle i will incorporate weaves and braids, twists and maybe even cornrows. I have learnt though that my hair is never handled properly at the salon so i may have to learn to braid my hair myself. I do have two half wigs i made so if i get bored, i will definitely try them.
 
Wigs will make the transition so much easier for you.

My wig regimen:
I shampoo my 4b hair once or twice a week and I wear about 12 plaits under the wig. I part my hair in 4 sections and each section has 3 plaits. I wash my hair like this and everything. After I dc I just unbraid, moisturize, detangle and rebraid. I lose so much less hair compared to washing loose hair.
 
just got a confirmation from komaza today that they received my sample. I can't wait to see what they find. even if they say i should shave my head bald i would be relieved because i will finally know whats up with my hair.
 
I washed my hair yesterday. It seems stronger and more elastic from doing a weekly protein treatment.

I got some hot 6 oil yesterday and I prepood with it for a couple hours. I love the way it smells, but next time I will lather twice to remove all the oil.

Oh wow!!! This is awesome! Thanks, will try this once i start wigging. It sounds so convenient and it will keep breakage to a minimum.....Thanks so much @Prettymetty

Trying to come up with a plan as to when I should co wash. The weather is starting to get warmer and for me that's the best time to do it. I'm only co washing once a week now but I want to bump it up to atleast 2-3 times since i'll be going back to the gym and working out outside.
 
I was able to henna my hair last night! Yay! I had already done my mix which contained Nupur henna, lemon juice, green tea and castor oil and left that to set for 24 hours, so all i did was wash my hair and add some honey into my mix just before i put it on my hair, for its moisturising properties. I really enjoyed doing my hair last night! God! how i love washing my hair....hmmm. I left the mix on my hair overnight wrapped in saran and 2 scarves and then woke up and rinsed it out. It was a bit difficult to rinse out, but got a lot of help from my VO5 conditioner and As i am co wash (i used both as they were little in the jars). Afterwards, i deep conditioned with Haired"s Sitrinillah for an hour and then rinsed out and wrapped in a shirt. When it was 70% dry, i put in my Cantu shea butter leave in and sealed with olive oil. I am very happy with the outcomes and since we all like pictures of hair , heres what it ended up looking like!........hmmm. i tried to upload my pictures but it seems i am unable to with the new changes made to the site...anyone who knows how to, kindly give directions
