Arrghhh! I had a set back a few months ago so I am BSL...Maybe at the end of the year I will be at least finally past BSL....My siggy pic is the latest updated pic.....
I changed up a bit:
1. I still do BTR every other week, and that has helped. I haven't seen a big change in length, but less shedding has helped my thickness.
2. I no longer co-wash. I currently twist 100% (no twist outs, and twists are 90% in updo)...
I now do a DC with Motions CPR Repair Creme mixed w/ Motions Conditioner and Argan Oil every 2 weeks, and clarify before a DC with a clarifying poo or ACV. I seal with CO and put HE LTR on my ends for protection...
3. Last Sept I got a BKT which I LOVED! But I used heat a couple more times after that and I think that contributed to my setback. But the BKT was great. I'd do it again but DH and I have decided to start a family soon....I haven't used heat since March 2011.
4. In April 2011-July 2011- I wore Braids.. (8 weeks total)....Then went back to BTR and DC...
5. I am hoping to be MBL by Dec, and I will forgo my annual blow-out and press for my B-day this year and probably do a fully-enclosed weave for 6 weeks. If I like it I may do it again...I will definitely be ready for a reveal in Dec 2011!
6. So I haven't had much length but my layers are growing out well, and my hair just looks bigger/thicker which I attribute to CO, BTR, and then being more dilgent about 8-10 week trims/dusting....
In the meantime I'll be PS styling like crazy....
