Official: For Short Haired Ladies...APL by Dec'09!

I wanna try henna too but it seems like a lot of mixing and a lot of steps and right now I am too lazy for that. Maybe one day.

I swear we share the same brain when it comes to hair. Ok so you went to OCT first and I followed now I saw your hair and thought that is HOT I hope I can do something like that with my Henna and then I read that it is HENNA!!!!! LOL we are twins separated at birth, tell mom I said hi:lachen:

Hey yall. I was just past SL two days ago, but yesterday, I got a haircut in the salon, and got a bob. It's cute! But my hair is so much healthier now that I got all of my ends trimmed and I just feel really good! I've been transitioning for almost two months now, and I think that I should join this challenge!

Please add me to the pledge list!

I currently am using mega tek, and my hair is getting soooooo much fuller and thicker at the roots, and i am convinced that it is making my nails grow too. i will be getting MTG later on this month possibly. Thanks!

Welcome to the challenge. I know what you mean about that feeling you get when you get rid of the unhealthy hair. I did a chop last year and it feels great when all the hair on your head is healthy!
 
As of today I am 5 weeks and 2 days post relaxer and I am feeling the ng waves like crazy. This has never happened to me this soon before. I am so excited!!!

My little attempt at going back to wigs only lasted about 3 days last week. I am just so use to wearing my own that I just cant stand having a wig on my head anymore. For me I guess thats a good thing, considering I used to buy a new wig every week. Now I get to save a lil money.
 
I am excited to take my sew-in down next weekend and deep condition. Hopefully I will see some progress, after the last trim I had early january. Everyone is doing great! Cant wait until the end of the year to say Im APL!! lol * thinks optimistic, positive thoughts *
 
i twisted my hair with some melted shea butter mixed with a little bit of the rest of my jamaican locking gel and i like how my twists feel. they don't feel dry at all. now i just need to finish the top and front of my head. my edges are really filling in and my hair is growing fine so far.

ok, progress pics in siggy, and starter pic for this challenge is my February pic, I'm taking a break from braids, but will re-braid by the end of february. so far, the C&G method and OCT are working very well for me, and I've also started taking chlorella. I'm pushing to reach APL well before December, by any means neccessary:grin:!

girl , that hair color is pretty on you and your hair is growing so nice and thick!
 
Checking in... :wave: Minor setback here. I'm 1 week post and decided its been at least 5 months since I henna'd my hair. Why not now? So I went to my freezer and found a box on Jamila Henna. I hennad, deep conditioned, roller set, wrapped and went to bed. When I woke up and combed my hair down I had little broken hairs all over the place! :swearing: I was horrified. I was on my way out so Im frantically trying to make my hair look decent, and my hair continues to break. I pulled out the carusos and did a curly pin up. When I got back home that night I deep conditioned for 2 hours. That helped...most of the breaking has stopped but I think I gotta do another one..

I'm still kinda new with henna, but I think my mistake was that I did a Nexxus Emergencee treatment about 5 days prior to the henna, plus and I added yogurt to the henna, it was probably too much protein. I guess.. idk. Or, the henna was old.. it was in the freezer for about a year.:ohwell: Either way, my hair felt like straw and popped off when I ran my fingers through it:perplexed Hopefully, I didn't lose too much hair.

I've refocused... No More setbacks! HHG Ladies!

Henna isn't a protein but it does act like one. And you did wayyyyy too much protein. Emergencee, yogurt, and henna! Too too much. Work on your moisture until it goes back to normal.

I've added ayurvedic practices proper to my haircare routine now. Using MT+MN+sulphur oil mix to my scalp daily - I kinda miss a day here and there but trying to do it daily. DC 3x/week and I oil rinse everytime I DC with my homemade ayurveda oil (coconut oil. castor oil infused with shikakai, amla, brahmi, henna, neem and aritha).

So, today I'll apply MT and ayurvedic oil to my hair and scalp (2hours), rinse, rhassoul+co-wash, DC with avocado+coconut oil (as long as I can), rinse and tea rinse (sage, rosemary, mint and fenugreek) then seal and twist till next time ;-).

Yes... way too much. And my hair is fine/relaxed and usually loves protein (or protein-like products), I use it alot, but this proved to be too much. Ill dc again today.
