Bsl/mbl 2018 Challenge!!

I had a wild card wash day. Meaning I used all samples. I prepood with Masquintense. Washed with Aura Botanica shampoo and then I used the matching conditioner. This line didn't smell as good as the other Kerastase products. My hair looks and feels great though. I'll trim next month on a beneficial day.
 
Maaaannn, I joined this thread a while back and have not posted in forever. I'm currently in box braids. I think I'll keep braids through the end of the year. I should definitely hit my BSL goal this way, since I'll be forced to leave it alone. lol!!! I'll keep my scalp cleansed and oiled and will likely take one or two week breaks between braids.
 
I'm finally getting to my hair after two weeks in twists. I've kept up with my new sealing routine and am still trying to work through the details of my six week rotation. Since I've kept in twist for two weeks my plan is to wash and set my hair for a braid out this weekend.
 
Hey ladies I'm just dropping in to say it's wash day. I used that Extentioniste shampoo. Cross your fingers for me. I deep conditioned on dry hair with Extentioniste conditioner and I sprayed my scalp with Xcel 21.

Finally I used curl ideal to soften my hair and make it smell nice :rose:

I'm airdrying under a tshirt and I'll blow dry later with Keratin Thermique. My hair will smell nice for days!
 
Wash day has come again. I'm doing a prepoo right now. Using the exact products from Thursday. The only difference will be my heat protectant. I'll use my Suave keratin cream this time.
 
My blowout is super sleek today. I prepood with Extentioniste and argan oil. Then I shampood twice with Extentioniste shampoo. Towel dried and blowdried with Chi in the gold bottle. Then I added some Generic silk remedy and straightened in small sections. I don't think I'm gonna have a problem with frizz anymore. I'll do this technique every time if I have to.
 
I've been deep conditioning at least twice a week paying special attention to my ends.

I also baggy a few days a week.

Hair is currently in cornrows for a few weeks under my wig :drunk:
 
My hair is low manipulation as I'm co-washing everyday due to my sweaty zumba workouts and then I twist in pigtails with co-wash conditioner and a little coconut oil. Perfect for these over 100* temps! And then when I go out at night I take down my pigtails, finger-comb or fluff with my fingers and my hair is big, bouncy, and soft :)
 
Took out my finger coils yesterday and was too tired to do anything else. Either tonight or tomorrow I plan to wash, dc, but I haven't chosen a style yet. I have gotten better at drying my hair in buns and other heatless drying methods. I just hate how tangled my wiry strands get if I do a wash and go, but I wish I could just wash and go all weekend. My afro has taken a nice long bob shape, which I like.
 
Hey everyone. It's been a while since I've posted been busy moving. I've been feeling hair lazy so I'm planning on getting marly twists. Hopefully by next week. I finally washed my hair today for the first time in 2 weeks. I did a much need protein treatment Aphogee Step 1 and decided to blow out my hair and put in bantu knots. It's been years since I've done them but they look ok. I'll take them out Saturday, I'm meeting some friends. Hopefully they come out ok.
 
I think I noted my huge sections of missing hair here on this forum somewhere. I cut the ends a great deal because if I think my hair is horrible, I have less reservations to cutting what needs to be cut. I braided it up after that and just took it down on Monday.

There was no obvious patch of short hair. It was not hardly as bad as imagined it was. Granted, it all grew about an inch, but the shortest pieces in the back of my head are about as long as my pointer finger to the thumb. It's fine. It totally blends in.

There is the section on the side that I burned out but it also blends and it's just fine. My hair is fine guys. I'm happy to say that I'm still growing
 
Hi ladies. Haven't been around much...too focused on life, most of all this pregnancy, but with a few weeks to go, I am thinking about what I'm gonna do with my hair. I am not sure if I want to just put my real hair in twists or just get some extensions or something so I can leave it alone. I will decide in the next two weeks or so. I've neglected my hair for the past couple weeks, so today I moisturized and sealed with glycerin/water/shea butter mix. Then I lightly detangled before putting it in two braids for nighttime. I just don't feel like messing with it anytime soon.
 
I've been doing my same boring routine lol with some great results (wet ends each morning and night, moisture then seal....that's it). I DC once a week and rotate between moisture and protein. I'm retaining lots of length.

I have a minor setback from getting lemonade braids. My edges are very thin from the braids and I'm working hard to thicken them back up. Otherwise all is well!
 
Just came out of box braids for 8 weeks. Thank God for the 2 previous pics from 12/29/17 or I wouldn't have known for sure that my hair had grown this year. My sides are now just past APL and the back is grazing top of bra strap. I'll be getting braids again next month. Hopefully I can be full BSL by the end of the year. Don't mind today's 5 day old twist out :)
