After washing out my henna last night, dc with DB dc for an hour with heat, rinsed that and added DB pumpkinseed leave in condish, Beemine growth serum to the scalp and DB coco bean moisturizer before twisting.
 
Had a busy day today. Took my kinky twist out last night and prepoo'ed overnight and detangled and detangled more today. Clarified with ORS aloe and did a hardcore protein with aphogee and dc'ed with SD chocolate bliss and keravada fenugreek oil on top. Then did a curlformer set. Those things took a while to get the hang of. Hopefully it turns out good in the morning :)
 
I'm on day 5 of my inversion. I hope to see some good growth by the end of the month. We shall see.

Every day I am seeing one knot in my hair. It is a know right on the ends of my hair. It has gotten so bad that I need to cut them out! When I co wash (everyday) I detangle but sometimes to no avail. This is irritating. I do not have that much length, I can't afford to lose any lol!

Try putting a light oil on your ends after you detangle and cowash. It may help keep the strands from getting as many ssk.

Im feeling some growth yall! Did a flatwist out and was feeling hair brushung up my skin in places I havent felt hair there in years! Im not even going to do a LC bc it may be premature and then I'll be dissappointed.
 
Finally getting some decent uniformed hang time in the shower. I remember not long ago just my front and very nape would hang just a little and now it seems to be more all around. APL hurry up and come now!

I've been natural for a little over 2 years now but I keep cutting not trimming but cutting my hair. I always feel like I have to cut it and don't know why. I have stepped away from the scissors and realized wasn't anything wrong with my hair...it is just me lol. Scissors are the debil if you don't need to cut or trim. I noticed it getting some uniformed decent hang in October. Then it touch my shoulder this month (or that's when I noticed).

I used NJoys Purifying Cowash yesterday and it cleanses very well. It isn't a thick cowash by no means and you expect it to be more like the way a traditional conditioner or cleansing conditioner would be in consistency but it isnt. Do not attempt to detangle with this cowash but it gets the job done and cleanses very good. I massaged my scalp with it and applied it to shaft of my hair. Left in for 10 minutes and rinsed. My hair felt soft. I followed up a moisturizing con with slip so I could detangle (SDDH). This is an excellent cowash so far. Had my curls popping.

I am SOOOO proud of my hair right now. I see it transforming BEFORE MY EYES. After all this toiling, vitamin takin, co-washin, ACV & Tea rinsing, babying, no heat, air/ t-shirt drying, DC's,,,,,, my hair is STRONGER and HEALTHIER. I stopped using sulfates, mineral oil, petrolum and stepped up my oil game TREMENDOUSLY. My nails are growing like crazy too.
I see now the mistakes I was making with my hair and all the abuse I was doing to it. I know I will be @ SL length by the end of this year.

Are you going to bed with your hair loose? Are you wearing a bonnet or a scarf?
 
Hey ladies I was speaking with Tatilove in the APL 2014 challenge and she was asking about combining a APL/BSL challenge for us. I told her if consensus agreed then I would change the name. But I wanted to see if y'all wanted to make this thread a SL/APL thread as well? I know we talked/joked about it in SL 2013 thread but what cha think?
