SL 2014

The first time I big chopped I wigged it and wore extensions. I didn't do weaves because I lose too much hair in the back. This time I just couldn't bring myself to put all of that hair on my head :nono: :lol: But because of that it meant that I was constantly manipulating my hair. It was a trade-off but the thought of extensions or wigs is unbearable. So I have to trim regularly and often.

However, with each inch of growth I have more style options so now I can put my hair up now at least in flat twist. I'm not even NL. So hopefully by the time I get to NL I should be able to really tuck my ends away. Shoot at SL, I am going to be sooo hair lazy it's not funny. :yep:
 
I have no choice but to dust often. I get no traction in growth otherwise with these very fine fragile ends. I wear my hair out like 90% of the time too. Every 4-6 weeks I take a quarter inch off. The longest layers are now cbl with the crown and back inching towards nl. Finally!

Oan: just installed crochet. 3 hours total. Getting much faster.

I will be over to get mine done. My flight lands at 9:45 pm :lol:
 
Okay so I know LCs aren't due just yet (I think) but tomorrow is date night for me and the hubby and I was planning on using my curling wand on my hair but flat ironed it instead. Then I went to Walmart to get a much needed trim. I dk why my nape grows faster than the rest of my hair but there's a noticeable gap that I do not like. Oh and I didn't put anything in my hair except mixed chicks hair silk and a little chi 44 iron guard. Anyway on to the pics.

I wasn't but since you put me on blast I am now : lol: jk.

So what is it that you've done that I'm supposed to be mad at. I don't remember stuff very long so you have to remind me.
 
I can't see any difference in length during my washday or when when I pull down a strand but yesterday flat twisted everything towards my crown and I no longer have to struggle to band them together. I will take it. :yep:

Saw your pics. Great progress and congratulaions on reaching SL. If you weren't running things around here I would give you the boot too :look:

Yeah MzMomo's hair grows like that barbie doll you use to push her back and the hair would just come out. They are probably getting ready to kick her out of the BSL challenge now. :yep:

Lol yes I believe you!
 
I went to the salon to get my hair straightened today. I'm 5 months post- relaxer. I didn't like the results, but I'm pleased with my hair growth since
my pixie cut in January.

Lolol faithVA well because I ended up big chopping in the middle of the challenge last year. And in the end I'm actually not natural anymore. But trying to commit to not cutting it anymore.

Your safe. I can't even remember last year. You get a fresh start. I go through too many changes with my head to harass anyone else.

Thanks!

I guess my hair is in that awkward stage where it's too long to style as a pixie and too short to do anything else.

I'm growing out a choppy cut too. Are you transitioning, or are we still relaxer buddies? What Reggie have you been incorporating to stretch?

I don't do any deep dc'ng anymore. Just in the shower for 10mins. I've been working on trying not to over condition my hair and stay away from a bunch of product between washes. I have just been using coconut oil and wrapping my hair up at night. Just going back to what I used to get done at the salon.

We're still relaxer buddies. I will relax (texlax ) before Labor Day. I have an appt. to get crochet braids next month that I plan to keep in for 6 weeks.

This stretch has been awesome! I've been wearing wigs and crochet braids. When I'm not in braids, I wash/DC weekly and blow dry to straighten. I stopped air drying after 14-15 weeks post b/c my ng would tangle and mat. I use It's a Ten leave in and Mizani Thermasmooth Serum before blow-drying on medium heat. My hair likes some heat. I don't flat iron at home b/c I never wear my hair out.

Are you SL now? How is your cut growing out? You still rocking a bob?

I'm at neck length now. My cut was really short! It was ear length on the sides. It's growing out to where I don't mind wearing my hair out now. So I will be in this challenge for awhile. My hair likes heat too. I plan on washing twice a week as usual since I'm going to get back to working out.

Your hair looks so healthy and thick.

I want two more inches before I start wearing my hair out. I'll start going back to the salon every 2 weeks for a roller wrap set once I'm full NL.
