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

I finally took out my kinky twist tonight!!!! I am so happy, I wanted to test out some new products. I am pre pooing with Vitka Frosting and in the moring I will clarify and DC. Next week I am going to Henna. I will post pic to my fotik soon but me and the DH are taking a trip to Thialand for 3 weeks. Of course I will have my laptop, cant be without my girls. Oh and yes I have some good growth. I havent relaxed since Sept and I am feeling the waves but I think I am still going to relaxed the end of the year, natural hair demands the time I dont have right now.


Hope all are doing well. The next prize give away will be in March!
 
I am still in braids BUT will be taking them out by the end of March in order to get my hair done in an up-do for my sister's wedding. I haven't done a length check since October, so I cannot wait to do one in March!! I'm in the LHCF boot camp, so I am going to use my pass to flat iron ...I will be sure to take pics...See you until then ladies as my first piece of business will be to post an update pic!!!
 
I took my kinkies out too. Just a few days shy of 9 weeks. But I'm happy to see my hair again. I have a lot of products to try out and I want to do a homemade steam treatment and a twist out. I'll wait until March 31 to do an official length check.
 
I ordered 12 bottles. It had to be sent to my mom cause they dont ship overseas. She said she sent it last sat (which was sunday for me) so I may get it today or monday but I cant wait to try it.
 
Oh, I almost forgot about you guys. Here are my feb updates. I posted in the MT Challenge thread.

You girls are too funny. No, I don't have any color. Girl, you ain't see my gray hair? lol Taz, I don't know where the shine is coming from, I think from doing steam treatments. I'm addicted now.
 
I relaxed my hair last week and had a "trim" that wound up cutting an inch of growth. The good news is that my ends are even now. The bad news is i won't have much progress for the March update. Good luck to everyone else!
 
JL, FABULOUS!!!
I'm still washing and dc'ing 2x a week. I'm shedding alot less with the garlic shampoo I use. I'm still a little frustrated with my trim/cut, but I'mma make it work!
keep it up ladies!!!!
 
I'm experiencing some breakage. :sad: I hope it's not too bad, but I'm worried nonetheless. I've got some yogurt and mayo and Naked Naturals Fortifying Citrus condish on my head right now, and will use Aphogee 2-minute after shampooing today.
 
Today is wash day so I just washed with hair my aphogee for damaged hair shampoo. I then used the 2 min reconstructor and I am now sitting under the dryer with silk elements megasilk conditioner mixed with EVCO. I plan to rollerset when I'm done.
 
I really have not been keeping up in this challenge oops!!! but im coming along well deep conditioning is my best friend since im transitioning also...and also i've got this protective style thing down packed!!!!
 
Oooooh La La!!! Your hair is soooo pretty! The shine is from steam treatments, huh?!? I need to check that out! Awesome progress! Keep up the good work!

Just checking in ....

Tomorrow, I'll be one year into my transition. I won't decide until June if I'm going to BC or texlax, but I don't want to keep dealing with these two different textures for much longer. Today, I'm doing a semi-Sylver2 braidout. Right now I'm deep conditioning with AO Honeysuckle Rose Conditioner. Next step is the dryer (dun-dun dun dun!!!) I'm nervous. .. I haven't gone under a dryer in years.
 
I got my hair flatiron today. I notice some breakage even before I got it flatiron, so in a couple of days, I will probally do the 2 min Kertain by Aphghee. Other than that...still in the race to APL.:grin:

Im thinking due to me being in the field..I wasn't really on top of it as I should...:perplexed

Below is a pic of my hair, from me leaving the hairdresser, it was raining outside too. The back is a little frizzy from the rain...Its wrapped now, and I applied a little ORS olive oil moisturizer(jar) so tomorrow or whenever I unwrap it, it should have that sleek look.

I DC over night and I am too lazy to get up right now to wash it out. I know I got to get up and go to the store for my DH but I can slap on my wig for that. I just dont feel like doing my hair right now. UGH! Like Nike says "Just do it" so off to rinse my hair out. I am doing a phony pony hope it looks ok never had one before.

Keep up the good work ladies
 
I am DCing right now(since last night) with sitrinillah..I guess i will wash it out sometime today when i get a chance...
 
Decided to add ayurveda to my routine. I'm already using some of the oils bc of Hairveda. I am adding powders now. Joined the 4 month ayurveda challenge. I'm still debating if I will use heat for the March check in. Most likely not.
 
Checking in: Lastnight I cowashed with baking sode and a litte acv added to the conditioner. And, I dced with Nubian Heritage Raw Shea Butter Conditioner (i purchased it recently and wanted to give it a try. Actually it wasn't bad. My hair was soft and easy to detangle) mixed with honey, some oils, and aloe vera juice. After my leave in spray and an overabundance of shea butter, I put my hair in two plaits. I'll be rocking headwraps this week.
