I finally sat down for a whole day and did these box braids (no extensions).
Hope to have them in for about a month
Will continue to CW twice a weekand moisturize every-day
No extensions? Whooooa. They're amazing!!

Checking In …
Yesterday, I d/cd on dry hair with Beyond The Zone Last Call (I liked that d/c, might use that from here out.) After shampooing and conditioning, I dusted my raggedy ends off. I set my hair with perm rods after being inspired by Mahogany Curls's video; my hair came out really cute. I'm going to Bantu knot my hair at night to preserve the style. If I can have descent looking hair for a week, I will be soooo thankful.
I hope you all are doing well …

Checking in. Was doing a quick check last night and it looks like my hair is growing really fast. I know it's not though, my retention is just on point. Consistent Bunning, French braids, and the loc method is paying off. I also think sticking to the same products I already know work has something to do with it. Every time I get the itch to try a new product I ask myself WHY?! Since I seem to be getting in a good groove.
Just Say No to the PJ!

I think I'm gonna do a hot oil treatment tonight clarify tomorrow then do aphogee 2 step. Let's see if it happens. Haven't done 2step this year. Shame in me!
Well upon blowdrying my hair because I wanted a different look, I realized bits and pieces of broken hair
. SOOO I will be scheduling an appt for a professional blowdry and trim/dust. I haven't trimmed since November of last year, so I am WAYYY overdue. I am okay with this considering after trims my hair takes off and I am only 2 inches until my end of summer goal. I could hold off, but I want to be able to retain ALOT length over the summer.

I did the 2step and my hair is thanking me. While I was applying it I had a good bit of breakage but after I was done there wasn't any. Guess it was right in time.
So I got my hair blowdried and flat ironed and got about an 1" -1.5" taken off. I was bummed about that, but I think I like this length alot. I am right there at BSB. I know I should be PSing, but I want to enjoy my hair for a change. I really do. I sometimes get tired of obsessing over length, sigh.

i can't wait to see!
i am going to try some things this year with my crown (the front of my hair).
i am going to stick to stretching 10-12 weeks
and i am not going to smooth the relaxer when i do my touchups, but i am going to let it process the time it needs to.
i am going to make sure i stick with doing protein treatments to keep my hair strong.
and try to be even more careful with my tangling methods.
i will stay away from the comb attachment on the blow dryer.
I was very tempted to not PS hardcore, but I like I always do, I love the length then think to myself, "I want more!"
It is a never ending battle.
I will stick to my original goal of mbl then decide what I want to do. I dusted a little, washed and heavy DC'd and went back to bunning.
I am going to go ahead and post my pics since I got in done a couple of days ago and not it is back in its natural state in a bun
This was about 2 years ago. I compare most photos to this since to see how far I am coming.
This was a couple of days ago
I am trying to get out of this BSB or SB length. I have been here too long
. I think heat may be my culprit I have 4 inches until MBL which I will achieve this Dec
