Who has a Christmas goal? My goal is to have 18 inches of hair Lord willing. Another goal is to be 18 lbs lighter. And go into 2018 with the largest braidNcurl.

I don't have inches, but I wanna be past APL. I wanna be BSL in April.

Can someone in the Midwest make second ingredient glycerin based product work for them?
I really like leave-in sprays, refreshers, etc, but the majority of them have glycerin as the second ingredient... creams can become to heavy for my hair. It's very fine.

Silicone serums don't help?

As far as moisture? You know glycerin tends to rob the hair of moisture when the climate is dry, so I wouldn't put a silicone serum, on top of a glycerin based product.

Lol my hair doesn't even reach my eyebrows at this stage. Joining a shoulder length challenge would be a suicidal move
As a compromise between nose and shoulder I might start a chin length challenge for myself at the beginning of 2018 lol

It would be awesome if I could make APL and get my edges to thicken up more.

Amen to that sister! Meanwhile we can join the 2 inches in 4 months challenge and then start our own challenge in 2018. The 2 inches in 4 months challenge is starting a new session this month so we are here at the right time.

If you don't mind, what your length and how did you do this style? I really love inventive styles like this and am always looking for a bun alternative.

My friend showed me a video of their products. She was obsessed with the product afterwards. There's a Black owned BSS that sells it, but it's out the way for me. I'll ask a friend to get it for me from research.

On the Grow and Keeping it Simple
The silky section of my hair is annoying as hell! Its big, spanning from the center third of the front of my head, going back to below the crown. It only exists to taunt me. I swear I hear it whispering, "Look how easy I am to detangle. You hardly used any product. I bet you wish the rest of your head was this easy." Cow.
In other news, I'm almost done twisting my hair and it looks good. I've gained quite a bit of length in this style.

Hey!!! My hair is MBL and measures 16 inches. (I'll also add that I'm very short)
This style is just a simple roll, tuck, and pin. This style never looks the same way each time, you kinda just have to go with the flow of where the hair wants to roll then pin or tuck. And at the end, Boom its a style that looks kinda fancy. This is the original "Protective style"!

Hmm....was pre-pooing the missing piece of my regimen? My hair came out feeling really soft this go round and is holding on to moisture a lot better.
Also, this Eden Bodyworks Jojoba Monoi DC has given my hair all of the life! And it only cost me $8!

I can't believe the turn around my hair has made since adding sulfates back into my reggie. Thank you @faithVA for raving about that Nexxus shampoo because it is THA BOMB!!! I don't even know if I got the same shampoo as you but I would have never looked into Nexxus in the first place if it wasn't for your post.
I've been experimenting with styles and at times was washing my hair everyday with it but no dryness at all. Actually quite the opposite. My hair is soooooo soft. Softer than it's been in I don't know how long. I couldn't understand why and even had to look at the ingredients to see if there were cones or something but nothing.
My hair is super easy to detangle with the Nexxus therappe too. It's like my hands just glide through my hair. I'm in love..

I'm glad you liked it. Did you get the conditioner too? I guess salon quality products may just work better. It definitely works better than all of the sulfate free shampoo I have used over the past 6 years.

I'm glad it worked for you. I haven't tried the new Therapee formula, but the previous one was a tad stripping. I was still transitioning with the last formula so maybe that was why? Nexxus is the only line in always have success with. Always. I use Humectress for a quick DC and it always works well.

I found some original formula AOWC in my stash. I don't like the smell, but it's a great prepoo. DH claims it smells so bad that if I use it as an overnight prepoo, we can't sleep in the same bed. :-(

I'm watching 22Century do her henna treatment. I'm watching just to look and gaze upon her wonderfully long fairy tale hair. Words really can't express right now.
I'm also baking a double chocolate cake.
