SL 2015

Operation summer hair hiberation is about to commence!!!! :bouncy:

For the braids, I purchased all the supplies that I will need. I bought about 10packs of hair, raw shea butter, a parting comb and giovanni pomade for my edges.

Tomorrow, I plan on doing MHM. I'm still trying to decide if I want to stretch my hair with either curlformers or twists. I'm leaning more towards twists b/c it's just easier for me.

I really hope I can keep my braids in until Aug or Sep. I get hair bored easily. I plan on maintaining the braids throughout the duration that I will have them in my hair.

Man I've been trying to see two inches for the past couple months and since I stopped waiting for it I'm now starting to see the gap lessen. Try not to think about it so much and focus more on taking care of yourself inside and out. It will happen. :)
 
All right ladies, I will consider joining the APL challenge.

I wish we could go back to how the old challenges were, when it used to be one main goal; instead of these split challenges. IE: APL/BSL, MBL/WL. I think that's why I'm holding onto this challenge. I feel like a little fish.in a big pond in the other challenges.

I understand. I'm not putting you out. You can stay here as long as you like. :yep:

Won't have to worry about me...the second I get a few strands at SHOULDER length, I'm claiming it!

This is me. Only the back section of my hair is SL and I initially joined the APL challenge but the rest of my hair will take an age to get there (EL and NL pieces (and a problem spot). I really should be hanging out here with the rest of my hair, and you ladies (instead of lurking):giggle:

I haven't even ventured over to the apl/bsl challenge. I feel mere at home here. It feel like starting a new school or job. What if I don't make any friends over. I'm kidding :perplexed:
 
I finished braiding the front section of my hair and one row of the back. I should be done by tomorrow.

As much as I tried to avoid braiding too tight, I still did:(. So moving forward, I will wear it down until the braids loosen up. Right now I have it in a VERY loose bun; in order to conceal the undone middle section.

Post pictures when you're done. I love Senegalese twists and I usually get some in the summer every year but I really don't feel like it this year.

It's ok to have goals...
Nothing wrong with "acting as if..."
No shade from me.

If I TILT my head, I'm well on my way to APL.
:biggrin:
 
1. Current Length?
Varying layers between EL and SL.

2. Natural/ Relaxed/ Transitioning?
Natural.

3. What is your plan to reach SL?
Will try to remember head massage and inversion- I didn't measure, but saw results with these.
Try to eat consistently well/ Drink water (I drink a fair bit). Vitamins- I've been taking Mantabolism regularly for over a year and recently stopped (I still have 3 months left and will start back in a month or two) I started Mineral Rich a couple of weeks ago. I also have collagen and silica (not regularly). Dust my ends as needed.

4. Regimen
Revised MHM- water rinse, clay, oil, gel every 2, 3 or 4 days. Occasional conditioner use when needed for protein or added moisture.

5. Anything else you would like to share.
I trimmed/ dusted at the beginning 9f May. Although my hair is in 'layers' (not intentional) it's relatively even on both sides. I'm looking forward to noticing my growth over the next few months.

Hi. Finally getting around to uploading a picture of my marley twists. I'm having exams atm so I've been busy. Its been a good protective style and easy to manage but I'm planning on taking it out in a few weeks. I don't usually go longer than a week and a half to two weeks between washing my hair so it's desperate. Also I didn't braid it at the roots so if I do wash it, it will tangle and I would rather my hair be dry in a PS for a few more weeks than it tangle and knot. Can't deal with that again.

Can't wait till I can buy some products and focus on creating a regimen! :bouncy:

Anyone know if there is a way of uploading my images without it being public because when I log out I can see it in full. If not then I may take it down soon.

You may be able to put it in an album but not sure. If you feel uncomfortable just delete it. There really is no such thing as safety on the internet. That's why many ladies block the face before posting.

Yeah I probably will cover may face next time if I know I'm gonna post it on here. I will check out the album thing. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that when I first joined (with the old website) the images of people were not public.
