I add moisturizing oils like olive oil and coconut oil to my mix and Always use a really heavy thick and rich deep condition afterwards. I also try cowashing... but I end shampooing sometimes. Oh and just use water.... no tea or lemon juice... which I find drying.

Yeah I always wondered why people used tea and lemon juice to their mixes but I guess the tea is to darken and lemon to lighten?

I add honey (natural humectant) to my henna right before I use it. I also do a major DC (w/steam) after any henna treatment. More moisture to pull and lock into the hair. :yep:

Ah yes, honey and steam! I'll keep that in mind, my skin loves honey and I've already been considering buying a steamer.
 
Re: Hip Length (HL) 2014 Challenge!

Prepped for an oil rinse and then putting my hair in chunky twists. I hope to keep those in for a week with occassional touch ups and keeping the ends bunned.

Other than that, nothing new and all is well.
 
Re: Hip Length (HL) 2014 Challenge!

:grin:Just ordered the Bee Mine Luscious Balancing Moisturizer and juicy Spritz :grin:
I've been looking for a good moisturizer and leave-in since my HJ began back in 2009, so I hope they are as great as everyone says..... They better be for £30:whip:

Plus, since I'm back to college tomorrow I'm gonna use it as a chance to start increasing my water intake, back to my usual litre a day.

Also thinking of how I can narrow down my whole regimen to only about five products if I can; trying to keep it simple. I know it's gonna be difficult but it's gotta be done :grin:

This is on my wish list, I've got the Bee Mine Deja's Milk and Bee-u-ti-ful DC and I love that they don't have any protein in them. I haven't tried them yet as I'm trying to use up some other stuff first. I want moisturisers and DC's with and without protein, this will give me better control of the amount of protein that goes into my hair. I hope that they are as good as everybody says they are too.
 
Re: Hip Length (HL) 2014 Challenge!

dcing with ao hsr, hoping to trim tonight after i rinse it out, keeping my hair in a bun esp since im working out everyday :yep:
 
Here are the results of my washday.
Twisted with Shea Moisture curl enhancing smoothie.
I'll leave these in until Monday then undo them and throw my hair up into a high bun until my next washday.

Currently BSL natural. Im about 3c or 3b
Regimin on my blog (see sig)
To get there I plan to keep up my regimen as it seems to be working pretty well atm.

Once it's achieved I'll probably cut it back up to waist length but will therefore know I have very healthy ends.

Re: Hip Length (HL) 2014 Challenge!

I bought the Aussie Split End Protector leave-in and I've been putting it on the ends of my hair only. I don't have issues with split ends but figured that since I am growing my hair to long lengths that extra protein will help keep my hair strong. Good results so far so I'm adding it to the regimen.

I was concerned that my ends might be crunchy from too much protein but they are still soft and moisturized so I'm happy about that.

LOL which is why I HARDLY tell anyone about my hair goals. Haters all around and if you tell them you decided to trim off bad ends, they'll say something like "See, your type of hair will always have bad ends or split ends because it just can't grow." :nono: People be so negative. :sad: :lol:

Hot mess....smh. People and their silly assumptions.
 
Didnt trim like a said I would.....just dusted and did a light search and destrot because I wanted to wash my hair and all mt streching wouldve been in vain if I didnt do at least that much.... sigh
 
Re: Hip Length (HL) 2014 Challenge!

So I'm thinking of relaxing on Friday and will make my appointment in the morning. I'll update on whether I actually made the appointment or not. If I relax, I'll post pics with my next wash. Wondering if I should trim, hopefully I don't need one too desperately. I would stretch but I'm too excited to relax for some reason.
 
Re: Hip Length (HL) 2014 Challenge!

Relaxing my hair tomorrow at 12 noon!! :grin: I would've stretched but I was too impatient and tempted to have my hair freshly done for the new year. Hopefully after this time, I can stretch until my birthday.

Reporting! I LOVE both of the Bee Mine products I bought :) Especially the Luscious Balancing Moisturiser (coconut cream). It makes my hair feel super duper soft and moisturised! I think my search for a moisuriser is finally over :bdance:

And the Juicy Spritz is great for a light daily moisturiser :yay: I am definately set for life! :)

Random question: is anyone else participating in Sistawithrealhair's challenge/contest on youtube???
 
Re: Hip Length (HL) 2014 Challenge!

UPDATE: Relaxed my hair!! Next relaxer I'll be MBL for sure! It's starting to feel long-ish again, in the sense that I don't have to obsess about hair like I was before aka stalking Youtube for inspiration. I'm so glad with how my ends are holding up, I think I owe it to Organix + Roux PC.

Plans:
- Stretch for a longer time, just because I want to see how long I can go
- Dust every other relaxer
- Use a psoriasis/seborrheic dermatitis for the first couple of washes
- Protect hair and base scalp super well the week during my relaxer touch-up, I might do coconut oil (hair and scalp) right after my last wash then again 2 nights before I relax, then petroleum jelly (just on the scalp) the night before (If anyone in the thread has ideas let me know, PLEASE!)
