MBL 2013 Challenge!

Today I did a basic co-wash with Trader Joe's Tea Tingle conditioner since I didn't feel up to dc'ing today. Anyway, it felt so good on my head! Afterwards, I detangled my hair with QB's BRBC (so good) and coconut oil. Then, I did my own version of banding by tying the rubber band at the top of my twists and near the end of my twists (not complete - ain't nobody got time for that.) Of course, I'm air drying the twists and letting them be. Keeping it simple as always.

i think so too, plus your hair will be damp when you apply it, so you will get some slip and nourishment. but i don't know about overnight. does your hair do well with damp/wet baggying overnight?

Congrats on the baby!! And your hair is looking good! But anyways I dc over night every blue moon with no problems YET. I do try to keep it to a minimum because I don't want mushy hair.
 
Its been forever since I updated. I straightened a few days ago. Decided to just go ahead and claim bsb. I think I have a good shot at mbl by the end of the year. Not the best pic but... here ya go

Hey ladies! I finally paid for my subscription and I'm officially a member. I'm done with lurking since 2008 lol. So sad. Anyway, I'll be watching you guys grow to MBL from the sideline as I'm trying to reach that length too. Goodluck!!!

welcome in ! lets grow this hair together!!! here we all go ! yup mbl we are coming ;-)
 
I washed and conditioned my hair last night since I had a case of the scalp itchies. Anyway, my scalp still tingles from using Trader Joe's Tea Tingle Conditioner and Giovanni 50:50 Shampoo. But, it didn't help that I scratched my head prior to washing (duh!). Afterwards, I detangled, twisted and air-dried my hair. I'll keep it twisted for the weekend and wear my cute beanies/berets.
 
*repost*
Update :
I've been washing every Saturday or Sunday.
Prepoo of evoo + water + garner fructis hydra recharge condish
Shampooed, overnight DC with moisture and protein ingredients.
Trying kinky curly knot today leave in now. Will probably do a braidout and pull it into a bun.
I'm finally consistent with my MN usage so hoping for 1+ inch a month.
And I.think I'm.going to try baggying nightly for a moisture boost.
Oh! And I've also been drinking 64 oz of water daily and exercise 3 times a week. I've been doing swell! Hope you ladies are doing good as well!
 
I might have o try this tea rinse thing y'all do...


It seems so tedious, but I'm over all this shedding. My hair is still ridiculously dense, but I feel like my hair comes out wayyyy too much. Not broken hairs, whole hairs.

Beyond that, I used the new Loreal deep conditioner with ceramides... I think I like it! My hair responds really well to ceramides, but I need a cheaper alternative to Redken's Extreme conditioner.

Hair is currently in medium plaits and in a bun.

I haven't posted in a while because I've just been in and out of my weaves while taking care of my hair. I'm getting a weave put back in tomorrow, but since last night I've had conditioner in my hair and I will just rinse it out and air dry until my hair appt. But I did take a few photos of my back strands that I will post.

Would you say you are BSL? I think my hair is about your length
 
Here is my starting picture. I just got a relaxer yesterday after 20 weeks (hope to not ever do that again). I think I'll make MBL by July.

ETA - sorry the pic and background are so tacky. I'm at a hotel and it was 6AM.

I felt really lazy today but I pulled myself together and co-washed, I'm going to be bunning for the whole month of February

tasha7239 I think you look like you're already there, you look like you're on your way to WL, which doesn't look too far from where you are now
 
Checking in,

Not too much to report … I'm still in mini braids, exercising often, and cowashing daily. I have recently started adding tea to my bhringraj powder mix to see what that be like. Other than that, I'm gravy.

I hope you all are doing well …
 
today i did my very first rollerset on my natural hair.
you cant tell on the pic but it came out straight and soft :

i also wanted to share this loreal product. it says its à shampoo+ after shampoo at the same time type of thing....
it did leave my hair feeling clean,it was strong (has some protein)and it was soft because i had added castor oil on the hair focusing on the ends. it has great slip so i detangled with it,braided in 8 sections ,added castor oil ,waited 45min then rinsed.
its ceramid + keratin at the same time
...3euros cool ;-)

its funny how we in.europe would love to buy all those products in the usa. and i hear also ladies in the usa interested by some stuff here.

you guys still are the luckier ones with thousands if products to choose from usa;-)
 
I'm going on a mini vacay today and wanted to get a nice rollerset. Well I got a rollerset but I can't say that it's nice lol. It's my fault though. I never say anything when someone is ripping or frying my hair. My ends look horrible. They are so bad I had some of them trimmed. I am hoping when I get back home I can nurture them and they well come back. If not I'll chop them off and start over. All of my setbacks have been due to me not saying anything while in someone's chair.
 
can i join, ladies? Pretty please....
