MizaniMami said:Lavendar, girl I am just a ramblin'. I got a little bootleg baggie method tutorial in my fotki. I don't use the roller that I got often since I get too lazy but now I just put my hair in one big twist and baggie it. I use profective breakfree leave-in and seal it with sosme kemi oyl. Sometimes I will use Keracare Humecto. If my ends are extra dry and thirty I will spray them with a little water concoction first (water, humectress, humecto, oils) then put on the moisturizer and oil. Then i tie it with a big silk scrunchie apply my scarf and forget about it for the night.
Oh, I am in love with Nexxus Emergencee but since that is outta my league I was using Duo Tex, but I just sold that to someone and I have Essations Hair mender on the way. So I basicly use Nexxus Keraphix or Aveda DR treatment.
MizaniMami said:I am officially bra-strap length 3 mos to the day early!! I originally set my BSL date for Dec 27, 2006, but I made it early!! I didn't take any Bra-strap pics in my bra yet but here are some pics. I know I am breaking the Hide Your hair Challenge, But after this I am def. going to hide until December. I just couldn't hide this from my LHCF sisters. It was because of you guys why I actually made it.
When I stepped out of the shower my sis screeched "OMG, you did it, you have long hair." And then today she told me " I can't believe black women can grow hair." I am so thankful she said that because I am so grateful for GOD for helping me find this site. This just inspired me to wash on Sunday and get RIGHT back into the airdry/no heat thing for another 3 mos-straight!
Basicly all I did was no heat (but once every 2 mos), relaxed every 12 weeks, baggied every night except wash night, airdried, protein treats every 2-3 weeks, and moisturized twice daily. I also take mass vitamins (b150, biotin, a multivitamin, MSM, and horsetail)!
I am so happy!!!!
I included this pic, because for the longest time I was too embarassed to post it. My ends literally looked like they have been chewed on. That's from my blowdrying obsession that I have. My first few threads that I posted here, Sistaslick told me that it would be best to quit blowdrying. I was very hesitant but then I did.
I officially stopped blowdrying April 1st 2006. I took this pic in Nov 2005. But I didn't really get serious until April 2006. I wish I wouldn't have wasted those 6 mos, because basicly I got NO WHERE. I still got a looong way to go.But I can't take time back.Only 5 more inches!!!! Okay, I am finished rambling here are the pics. Happy viewing and I hope this inspires someone.
Where I started-NOVEMBER 2005

Wow! This thread is still going! Thanks yall, I am really appreciating the kind words. Now there is no doubt that I can make it to WSLHenrietta said:Well done mizani....can hardly believe the progress at which ur hair's grown over the last year.
Feel a bit jealous, coz my hair is no where near yours (even the before pic lol) but your post has definately given me a fresh burst of enthusiasm.:trampolin
One favour though, could you post your routine? especially how you do little or no manipulation?....Please??

I am oh so late but oh so glad I saw this thread. Your hair is absolutely gorgeous! The pics are such an inspiration and I'm definitely stepping my game up so I can reach bsl in '07....hopefully I'll be early like you too.
I'm a little fuzzy on you baggying every night. How do you style it most days?
