MBL 2010

Shampooed with shampoo bar and deep conditioned with rhassoul clay treatment. Had to dust my ends this morning. I am noticing a tremendous improvement with my hair with each dusting. :yay: Wearing a braidout then back to twist by the end of the week. The goal is healthy MBL hair by Dec! :yep:

BTW Black Hoya Chick your curly ponytail is super cute!!! :yep:
 
just checking in. bunning and co-washing. Tired of buns but I will keep ps anyways. Tried a couple of no heat roller sets but they only last 1 day (I sleep wild).

hi DesighnerCurls! i thought rhassoul clay could be drying to hair?

maybe it's that the shampoo bar you used is really moisturizing?

thanks!
 
I just cut one centimeter off. I couldn't keep doing S&D so I cut it. Cutting with dull scissors does cause split ends.I may post a progress picture at the end of March or June.
 
Just checking in (keep forgetting to). I rinsed my hair midnight black this past weekend. (finally got rid of my 5 gray hairs) My ends seemed super duper dry I trimmed an inch off. The difference is incredible. I feel like I have a new head of hair; easy to manage and detangle. I am still wearing a bun throughout the week and flat ironing on the weekend.
 
I am bad, I haven't been checkin' in :look:.

However, I did a rollerset recently and straightened my roots. I am about 3 inches away from MBL. I decided to step it up, I'm going to keep protective stylng at least 6 days a week. I also bought a filtered shower head, hopefully this will help me combat the dryness of my hair. I started using BT and taking Chlorella. MBL we will meet in 2010!!
 
needed my reminder of why i protective style. my curlies are DYING to be worn out. but i need that growth and this winter is deadly! i will enjoy them a bit more in the spring. till then, buns it is...=\
 
Haven't posted many updates because I am still without any clear regimen. This transitioning is a new challenge for me. I am a little over 30 weeks. Right now, my hair is one big afro kind of puff. I have no idea what I am doing right now. I just called a braider that was referred by a friend and I'm hoping to get tree braids in the next week. I haven't had my hair braided in over 20 years, so we'll see how that goes.
 
I am doing well...10.5 weeks post. I moisturize daily with EVOO and shea butter, focusing on my ends. I was rollersetting and wearing that for 5 days, then cwing for 2 days, but its getting too hard to detangle, so I may begin either rollersetting every 5 days or washing, air drying and lightly flat ironing to keep my cuticle smooth.

I am shooting to relax for my birthday in May so I will post an update. :yep:
 
Ok so this past Valentine's day weekend I washed with Kenra Clarifying/chelating shampoo, applied Joico deep penentrating reconstructor and left on for like 15 min. DCed overnight with Joico intense hydrator and Matrix Biolage hydrating balm. After I rinsed in the morning, I applied Roux porosity control, rinsed with VERY cold water. Applied my leave ins, pulled into a braided ponytail and air dried braided.
 
Everyone looks/sounds like they are progressing well!!! Keep Up The Good Work!!! We'll be there before we know it!!
 
I have been playing around with my reggie lately...

I cowashed last night with Nature's gate aloe and jojoba conditioner + a teaspoon of salt. I applied Nature's Gate Aloe Vera conditioner as a leave in topped with aloe vera gel. Then I put my hair into 4 plaits to dry overnight. This morning loosed the still wet plaits and bunned my hair.

I'm thinking about cowashing less frequently to further cut down on manipulation. Maybe instead of every 5-7 days moving to 10-14. I only detangle on wash days, but I'm curious to see if I can retain more hair by stretching my cowashes. I'll continue to use water based moisturizers daily and seal with a moisturizing clear gel as needed.

I think I'm getting frustrated with my hair growth, not seeing much of a change. And everytime I wash my hair, I'm doing pull tests to see how long it is. Shoot sometimes I pull test when I'm moisturizing... Maybe I should put my hair away in braids for a bit... Can you tell I'm frustrated?...
 
ClassyChic I love your avi! :up: I am doing pull the tests several times a week myself. ;)

I am 11 weeks post and loving the fullness of my rollersets. My puffy roots are making my hair really big and surprisingly I love it!! I am rollersetting again tomorrow and I will post a pic within the next few days. :grin:

What size rollers do you use? And do you do mohawk, four sections, ponytail, or something else?
 
I am so darn impatient to get rid of my "W" and have blunt hair that it's driving me mad! mad I tell ya!!! :wallbash:

However, I refuse to start cutting the left and right sides again because my ends are in great shape it's just that the middle needs to catch up in length :sad:

I will probably start applying JBCO to the middle area more often than the other areas of my head. Hopefully that will help, we'll see :ohwell:

Anyone else had/has this problem? What was/is your solution?
 
Hey Ladies,

Just checking in. I am deep conditioning right now with ORS Olive Oil. I am going to rinse in about an hour and apply Mizani Coconut Souffle as my leave-in and then use Proclaim Natural 7 Oil to seal. I am going to make BSB early I think, I was giving myself until May. But I think I will do a check at the beginning of April. I will keep you guys updated. Other than that, just sitting here wishing December would hurry up.
 
It's wash day for me, I've switched my products up, I'm no longer using commercial products, so far I have no complaints but I'm going to give myself 6week before I can give a positive review.
 
I would like to join :blush:. I've been lurking for awhile know and I just officially joined yesterday. So this is my first post!! :grin:

My longest strands are just at the top of my bra-strap and I hope to be a claimable BSL by April/May. I would love to hit MBL before the end of the year and by my third nappiversary in November, but that my be some wishful thinking :lachen:.
I can't stay in PS to save my life, so my reggie is a little weird:

1. cowash, detangle, wear a wash n'go to dry
2. twist up hair and wear twist bun
3. cowash on third day and wear twist bun for 3 more days
4. take twists down and wear twistout down for 2 days
5. bun twistout for 2-3 days
6. start process again

The routine I'd been on for the last few months was to cowash and detangle every 3 days, which worked but I want to cut the time between detangling (I use a paddle brush) without having my hair suffer from being loose or in protective styles the entire time :yep:. Hopefully I can keep this up and reach MBL with you ladies :dance7:

ETA: I use the Shescentit line for all of my main products. I love love love this line!!
 
I would like to join, just to give myself some goals! I am not sure if MBL is realistic for me, buttttt any challenge will keep me aiming for healthy hair practices!

I had this problem all the time when I was relaxed and it wasn't until I started transitioning and taking better care of my hair that I learned that the middle back area of my head had a tighter curl pattern and was more fragile than the rest of my hair. Being extremely delicate with this area and giving it extra moisture had/has helped me to retain the length in this area now that I know it needs special attention.
 
I've applied MT mixed w castor and wheat germ oil everynight this week so I needed to clarify w ORS creamy aloe shampoo. Slathered on some more wheat germ oil to the length of my hair along with Joico intense reconstructer, let that sit for 10 min and then rinsed with luke warm water. DCed for 3 hrs w/o heat with Matrix BIolage hydrating balm. Applied my leave ins and air dried ina braded ponytail. Took the braid out Sunday and wore my hair ina pony, it looked really cute. That's all!
