Luscious Healthy Ends Challenge 2022

[Chicoro]

I had healthy hair once upon a time. I did some digging for some old pics before I ran with chemicals heavy. These pics will keep me inspired to understand the assignment and to stay natural! I was full APL in these pics.

Been applying olaplex no7 oil to my ends nightly as my hair is flat ironed. Im planning on toying around with rollersets because im tired of airdrying my hair. So this oil is light weight enough to not weigh my hair down.

If it wasn't for this thread, I would be putting off doing my henna and indigo tx today.

I'm gonna start the year off right with the 2 step process instead of a one step hendigo, like I said earlier.

See, entrapment and imprisonments have their benefits!

This thread allows you to go just so far. Thus, we are going to know by the sound of the beep and the red blinking light if you strayed to far when you attempt to 'go on head and get up'. I see you.


*Presses finger on tracker to ensure it's working properly. Relaxes, and doesn't worry about @frizzy leaving the fold in an escape attempt. Assures self that escape is futile. Goes back to what I was doing.*

I have been doing 'practice grease' runs on my hair ends. These are Shea Butter mix coated braids, from root to tips. Ends are coated with water, castor oil and Shea butter, then put in bun on top of head before sleeping. In the house I let my hair feets run free for just a little bit. But most of the time I have the braids pulled back in a ponytail. Then, I pull it into a chignon and wrap the pony with a nylon knee-hi, as seen in the photo with the pink and black. The braids and pony are not exciting styles but they work as it relates to moving me toward some Luscious Healthy Ends! Here's to wearing my librarian look by day in order to gain a lioness mane in a short time frame!

The photo in pink doubles as a reminder that: "I see you!" Don't be trying to sneak out this thread.

Oh me oh my, the indigo is still in...

 

[Chicoro]

Oh me oh my, the indigo is still in...

And so are you…STILL in this thread. It gives “Always and Forever” a whole new spin and connotation!

Is it a good or bad thing the indigo is still in your hair?

 

[frizzy]

It was only bad because I wanted to be done with it!

I'm trying to keep my commitments so my next thing to do is get a starting picture.

 

[Belicoily]

Okay. I'm in. I'm new here but not new to the natural hair community; I've been around for awhile here and there.

In any case, I will be dusting/trimming my ends either later today or on Saturday (New Years Day). After that I will post a beginning pic of my ends. My Ends Routine is on lock thanks to the beautiful, skilled and knowledgeable @Chicoro So we will see where a year of this stellar routine lands me

I look forward to watching everyone else's progress as well.

Welcome to the Thunderdome! It's not hard or difficult to watch others when you, yourself are on lock down.... in THIS thread. Because girl, you are not going anywhere.

Looking forward to seeing your lovely hair!

Salutations to all! Below are my starting pictures. I have a trim scheduled on 4 Feb 2022. I’m no longer trimming my own hair, due to my inability to ensure it’s even.
To protect my ends, I will complete the following:

Olaplex 0/3 weekly
Clarify weekly with KC Come Clean
Mid week shampoo with Giovanni Deep Moisture Shampoo
DC weekly with Olaplex #5

I’m currently rocking WNGs for the winter. I will ensure that my hair is dried thoroughly to create a hard caste. The caste will protect my ends. Once warm weather commences, my hair will be pinned up 100% of the time.

@ItsMeLilLucky
Hey.....psssssst... have you realized with wrapped your ankle with a rope-like hair, and now you too are trapped in this quagmire of a thread. It's like quicksand up in here!

@Missjaxon


I see YOU!!!!!

 

[LushLox]

I always take off more than I intend to when I trim, I figure I must need it lol.

Anyhow 1st day of the year and I’m starting on a fresh new canvas which feels very positive. These ends will be babied and nurtured and with any luck I’ll be at MBL in a years time.

I plan on keeping all of my growth by doing the following:-

Weekly shampoo and DC. I say I will do it more regularly but I never do so I will just accept weekly. And my hair is good with once a week washing.
Using Olaplex 0 and 3, probably not every week but every other week
Incorporating K18 monthly
Overnight pre-poo with Amla (not Dabur) - I had very good results doing this previously every other week
Moisture and seal as needed (I don't need to do it every day)
Protein as needed (this is an absolute must in my routine)
Trims every 12 weeks or so
Religiously using my silk cap

Oh and Happy New Year all, I hope 2022 brings you all joy and prosperity!

@Napp Stunningly beautiful hair. If you got there once then you can certainly get there again.

 

[GettingKinky]

@LushLox your name is so appropriate. Your locks are incredibly lush.

In the words of Bugs Bunny, "Indubitably!" @LushLox, a very true statement spoken to @Napp. I agree 1000%!

 

[Chicoro]

We are just 1 Day IN 2022 and we are almost at 200 posts for this Luscious Healthy Ends Challenge 2022. As with most challenges I host, approximately 190 of the 200 posts are mine.

Gather your supplies. Organize your processes and get your cameras ready. This seemingly silly thread is a powerful way to keep you on track toward reaching at least one of your goals, albeit a minor goal in the overall scheme of our life goals.


Are you ready?

CHARGE!!!!!
