Good work. I don't know Reneice either, but if I was ever to get a weave, I'd be begging her for an appt. She got Ms. Lavar beat!

That's for sure!!!!!!!!!! And her clients hair are growing underneath unlike some of Ms.Lavars (I've seen some of her clients on that show that are near bald underneath all of the weave!!!!!)

 

[sweetwhispers]

Your weave dream will be a reality very very soon! I love progress pics i can't wait to see the rest of the thread. Well done

 

[RabiaElaine]

Yes it is starting to become a reality....I'm soooooo happy I can't even tell you!

 

[peacefulstrength]

wow RabiaElaine. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how did you do it. Did you put anything on your scalp or did you just use weaves? Any moisturizers? I wear alot of cornrows but I'm not sure if I'm just suppose to leave my scalp alone or should i put oils on it or would that clog it up? Anyways keep doing what you are doing. Congrats Again!!!!

 

[sweetgal]

Hi Addydoll!!!!!

Thank you for the compliments!!!!!

I didn't really put anything on my scalp, I just moisturize my hair while it's in the weave, primarily with African Royale BRX braid spray and use oil to lock in the moisture. I also used Carol's Daughted Hair Milk on my hair to moisturize too.

 

[RabiaElaine]

WOW! U ladies have done an amazing job!!! I couldn't wait to see ur results---and u guys have had huge success w/ this challange!!

Thank you!!!!!! Yes we have and I think we'll have even more success the next go around in January!!!!!

One thing I forgot to add, my goal for this challenge was to reach APL, I didn't make it. I think I'm going to be there after the next challenge, I think I have another 1.5-2 inches to really be official APL. I will be soooooo happy when I make it.

 

[SugarBaby]

Congrads. It looks beautiful. I am amazed at the growth for 6 mos.

Very Pretty.

 

[dlewis]

RabiaElaine, you did a GREAT job, I'm amazed at your progress. It looks like you got one years worth of growth in 6 months.
