YOu know what your not lying about that; for along time my hair was MBL and I saw APL my clients would tell me wow your hair grew but I didn't see it. Until years later I saw pictures and saw pictures and wondered what was wrong with my mind and eyes. I am still like that. I don't know why. It is weird.

I use Hot6 oil as a base. I infused it with rosemary, a tiny bit of horsetail (could have used more but I didn't have much) and added some sulfur powder to it.
No results on how well it works yet it's just been a week of regular use.

I think I will be there in October. Thats the goal! You just made me get out my ruler. I got 7 inches to to APL. An inch a month will get me to september. So I figure another month in case I dont retain or get an inch a month. Im taking care of my hair while in braids. Moisterrizing, sealing, and conditioning. I finished a bottle of Mt and I am going to use my vitamins untill I get another bottle. What do you think? I figure at the worst, I could be APL in Dec...ILL TAKE IT! My hair has never been longer than shoulder length. When I started this challenge I was necklength.I know this challenge lasts until December but when do you ladies really want to hit APL?

Just checking in. I decided to start using ayurveda powders and oils. I just did it for the first time. I'm DCing right now so I won't know the results til later. I've been extremely extremely extremely tempted to cut my hair. I have a bob and since its been growing out its been losing its shape. I really want my style back 
erplexed. I'll try my best not to cut it.

Checking in... I am in the low manipulation challenge, so I didnt comb all week until today which was wash day. Shampoo and DC with Megatek. I am back to applying MT Daily with my strict workout regimen and no combing.

Hey guys I hope you had a HAPPY VALENTINES DAY cause I did. Hubby got me a digital camera cause my other one died and he got it in pink which is my favorite color. (pick laptop, pink cell phone, and now pink digital camera)
My twins got me Wii Fit so I am happy.
I didnt forget the hubby, I got him a riding lawnmower and he is happy.
Update..... I did an overnight DC with OCT last night and this morning I pooed (CON green old bottle) then used VO5 and DC with banna burlee mixed with tea tree oil (scalp been itchy) and pepermint. That felt good. walked around with that for an hour or so rinsed applied some more VO5 and seald with coconut oil.
NONE of my kinky twist came out and I have 3 weeks left before I take them out. I dont think I am going to get them redone before then. I will see how they hold up. CANNOT WAIT TO TAKE THESE OUT! I just need to see my own hair for a min. Thats all.
Talk later ladies

Hi Ladies,
Man, I didn't know how hard it would be to find a regimen and get a good protein-moisture balance. Over the past two weeks I have learned a few things about what my hair likes and dislikes:
Dislikes: daily cowashes, sealing with coconut oil, detangling when wet
Likes: DCing, sealing with castor oil
I'm still dealing with breakage even after doing an aphogee 2 step treatment 2 weeks ago. I think it was the daily cowashing and I still have not figured out how to airdry without the brittleness and breakage. I think I need to find a good leave in/moisturizer. Also I finally caved and jumped on the MT bandwagon and applied it for the first time tonight. Wish me luck!

You've learned a lot about your hair in just two-weeks. Very impressive. I am still trying to find a regimen and actually sticking to it.
You and me both(to the both). I don't really get any breakage, but my ends always look really rough. I hate dryers, but the only way I can get the sleek look that I like is to rollerset.

Yeah my ends are a HAM when I airdry too, but I can't rollerset b/c manipulating my hair when wet is a big no no! Maybe I could wait till my hair is 80% dry before I rollerset, but then will I get the sleek look I want? Well for now I am rocking a wig and when I get my health regimen figured out, I'll start thinking about my styling regimen.

i rollerset my hair for the first time in about a year and......
IT CAME OUT GREAT!!!!!....unfortunately i didnt have time to take pictures.....
i do not know why i stopped setting my hair!!!!!!! the only bad thing i did was to blowdry after...... which was so not necessary....it just dried out my hair and got rid of the beautiful curls.......
....i have no idea why i did it!!!!!!
at least i know for next time.....
well i must say i am confident i will make apl by december.....its not everyday i see my hair straight and i'm pretty close......i'm counting on full apl by dec

Congratulations on figuring out what your hair likes and doesn't like. That's the hardest part. It took me a while to figure out my hair loves EVOO. My hair is so-so about Castor oil unless I mix it with EVOO. My hair is like "What the ...?" about Coconut oil unless I, you guessed it, mix with EVOO.
It took me a while to find a regimen and stick to it as well (longer than 2 weeks) Every week was trial and error and I believe I have 90% of the solution.
I know what you mean about the ends. Sometimes my ends are very silky and I have to resist touching them. Other times they're rough and I'm scared to touch them. I still haven't figured out how they get silky though. But through trial and error I believe I will figure it out.
I recently learned last week my hair likes to be set into bantu knots. I wish I would have figured this out before buying rollers though. I did learn my ends have to be thoroughly moisturized and detangled prior to putting them in the bantu knots. That way, when I undo them my ends don't catch on each other and break-off.
Also, my hair has to be slightly damp or dry (not wet) when I set it in the bantu knots. I don't know why.
erplexed I think when I set my hair wet the cuticles are still raised (at least slightly) and then they catch on each other. Thus, when taking out the knots, twists, braids, etc. my hair is tangled and matted resulting in more breakage. Good luck with the MT. I've been using it and I enjoy it. MT is a keeper for me.
