SL 2013 Challenge!!~~~

[HairPleezeGrow]

Alright so I used the Acai Berry Phyto con dish by Hairveda and it was nice. It has like a berry smell to it lol hence the name berry in it. It is kind of a thick consistency like a lotion I guess. It has a little bit of slip but I did use it right after I rinsed my hendigo out so maybe without the treatment it would have offered more slip. After that I dc'd with YAM dc from BASK and it is heavenly. It's very sticky consistency just like honey and thick but once you apply to the hair it melts right in. Almost sort of has a light foam to it once applied. A little does go a long way bc of this. I left it in for about an hour. It left my hair feeling so good and moist. I then applied whipped ends by Hairveda and sealed with the Jardin oil which were both good. I did a wash n go so after that I applied puttyful anti gel by HQ and and smoothed it through. Then diffused until 80% dry on med and low heat. Pics attached of my results. My hair looks even fuller today bc I massaged my scalp last night after applying my NJoy oil and it lifted my roots. Came out very lovely but no pics of today's hair. The first pic is when I was applying products. Sorry if the other shots aren't too great I was in the car at my dd school and taking the pics myself shm.

just did a wet length check. i'll hit NL at the nape in 4 months, so by September. I think I may actually hit SL by the end of this year if I maintain length!

That's great news ma'am I'm hoping at the end of the year to be full SL stretched.

Thanks! 10 char

That's great Naija. I'm with you HPG, hoping for full shoulder length by December. I also joined the 12 inches in 12 months challenge if I can accomplish that woo hoo. To be honest I'll be happy with any growth with no setbacks.

 

[Babygrowth]

Everyones hair is looking good! We all will be full SL by December! I dreamt it! I believe it!

Can you stretch until you feel like you need to relax? What's the longest you have stretched? I think if you make sure to wash and dc your hair while in the crochets and keep it moistened you should be okay. But only you know your hair and how much it can handle. Have you tried a roller set to see if you like it? I wish I could roller set. Mines have been big fails. I will give a go again one day.

Even though I made a separate thread for my one year update I figured I should post my updates here too

My longest stretch has been 6 months. I haven't done a rollerset yet because I don't want to manipulate my NG like that. I think I could make it 2.5 more months if I leave it alone. But me and my SO are tired of the plaits and hats all the time... plus I already have all the relaxer supplies but I need to buy the crochet supplies.

Ive been thinking of doing a crochet with kankoleon (sp?) hair and then flat ironing but not for Mother's Day. What kind of hair do you use? I feel like that would be a cheap and fairly easy style for at least two weeks.

I usually wear my hair out and this would be a good protective style. Im 6 weeks post today. Its getting hard to tell the texturized hair from the new growth so I may need to stretch longer than 12 weeks

If you do the crochets be sure to post some pics

 

[DarkJoy]

Ohhh All this talk of crochets. Been flirting with the idea myself the last couple weeks. Might splurge and do it either this or next week...hmm..

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

I did my daughter's some crochets a couple months ago with crochets that look like sengelese (sp?) twists. It came out really nice. I may do it again when they start back school in fall.

I want to use a deep wave/gogo curl type of hair. And I want it long! I will definitely post pics! 12 weeks for me is when I can start to tell the ng from the previously relaxed hair so then I stretch further just for the heck of it...

OoohHairPleezeGrow

What was your braid pattern like? Hw long did it last? You think 2 weeks is reasonable?

Are you gonna do it yourself? What kind of hair? Deets please

 

[DarkJoy]

mshoneyfly!

I had crochets pretty much all of last fall and half winter.

I switched to corkscrew-like human hair installs.I do it myself and for others. Takes like 5 hours for others and all day for myself! lol Since I got fine hair, 2 weeks is about all my hair can take before it starts breaking along the part and I have to leave my edges out or they begin to vanish. I let it breathe for a week or so between installs.

Excellent retention!

I just braided their hair in cornrows about 12 maybe str8 back bc I didn't want it to look bulky. They kept them in for 7 weeks but probably could have gone longer.

Haven't updated in a while but I'm still aiming for shoulder length. Attached are pics of my hair today. I have been wiggin it since the beginning of time, lol. I will continue to do so as long as it's working for me. I've mainly been using Shescentit products and liquid gold oil.

 

[Mz.MoMo5235]

Omg I love your puff I wish my hair would do that :'(
