Waist Length 2013

@limisssunshine5 how long are you? if long enough how about that updo that has 3 buns in it down the middle of the back of the head? I think that is so cute and can't wait to try it. I was going to say try it with the undo twist but I know you want to wash LOL so do the bantu knots and then do the buns. I think it is fly and you don't have to worry about sweating your hair out that night.
 
Dude, I have been MIA from this thread since forever but I'm still around.

I had a bit of a setback and now I'm barely SL. I also relaxed my hair a couple of weeks ago. So far I'm lovin' my "new" hair. I'm thinking of doing a really long transition but perhaps I will start off with a long stretch.

Anyhow, I'm currently in kinky twists for the remainder of the year. I am going to remain in a PS for the entirety of 2012. I want my 6 inches!

So yeah, tis' all for now...
 
ladies kmart.com has 32 oz tresemme on sale for $3.50 don't know if this the norm for this product or this is a big deal but I got to use my reward points and pick up at my store across the street. 4 bottles will last a long time.
 
Oh and I know I said that I was not buying anything else because I thought I had everything but when I seen how well a creamy conditioner worked for my wash n go as a leave in instead of using the curl definer I had to jump on that sale lol. I used my knot today but it will not last long with that little bottle so I wanted to see what all the fuss was with tresemme lol

LilMissSunshine5 Would you consider a flexirod set low mani? Hope you have a great birthday/hair day. :grin:
 
nakialovesshoes- Thanks for the tip and the birthday wish! I have never tried flexirods for a set :scratchch I would consider it low mani...I saw a natural friend today with a flexirod set that was HOTT! It was GAWGUS! She made a believer out of me :lachen::lachen: So if I do anything besides this current mini twist out, I want it to be that! Thanks ladies! You all have given GREAT advice...I appreciate it :grin:
 
Checking in for the first time since I joined this challenge :nono: I made APL when I took my sew in down last month. I have another one right now, and will trim about 1/2 inch when I take it down.

I am going on a protective challenge until June or October. I will do sew ins, and braids. My hair is so fine that I can't wear it out. I get SSK when I do.
I simplified my regimen to the Mud wash, HV Sitrinillah, KCKT and a couple of oils and butters.

If everything goes as planned I should be WL by 12/13...I might stop at MBL though:spinning: I am becoming too lazy!
 
I'm pulling out. I'm going to WL 2012.
Someone here called me on it earlier, and I now think they're right.
Good luck and happy hair growing ladies!!!

On my phone but No, they are not the same. Chelating is also unlike clarifying from my understanding.

As far i understand...you can use acv to clarify....which removes buildup. But you would need a special shampoo to chelate...supposedly that means the dissolving of certain minerals in your hair...lemme see if i can find something on that.
 
thanks all I know the difference between clarifying and chelating I wanted to know if I could use acv in place of chelating I guess it is in place of clarifying.
 
I am SO in! I would love to be WL by my 25th birthday in January 2013. It's a long shot because I don't think I'll make MBL til December 2012 but am secretly hoping I can make it by some amazing miracle. :)
 
yall know what I just realize? you can not get a chelating shampoo from a place like Kmart I have to go to a bss but I got my clarifying shampoo I decided on tresemme since the sale was still on. I am keeping a hair calendar now because I can't remember when I do jack for my hair and maybe I can better figure out what is going on when I have a problem. So the bad ends are gone and I just clarified and I will put off my henna for now and I am going back to my wash n go's and now trying leaving in the last conditioner and long with mixed chicks or something like it. no more band wagons. I will see how castor and argan oil goes for sealing
 
forgot to mention that I am starting with 11.5" of hair now except in the nape where I lost the most length I think it is like 8.5 or 9" but my hair is all most all one length now which I like so I am not that mad.
 
Ok I have my phone set for the alarm to go off for the sale on the 22nd so I can get that 40% on aveyou.com. I just want to stock up on my mixed chicks deep conditioner and the leave in I like to buy the large sizes and I am less than half way on my bottles and who wants to miss out on a sale lol not me.

I got a second day out of my wash n go after I went back to my old routine. loving it!!! I have my mixed silk but I don't want to run out of my mixed chicks when there is a sale.
 
PS'd my twists today. I usually rock a wig during the cold weather but I decided to try PSing with my twists out to see how that works.
 
did I forget to say that I love love love my curls??? I am no longer crying about my cut my curls are back and happy.
 
Here's my progess. I'm at 18 months post relaxer. Almost 1 year post big chop in 4 days. I hope to make APL sometime in the spring of next year. I hadn't realized how much my hair had grown till today since it feels like it is in the same spot it was in back when I made SL. It's a nice surprise to be so close.

MzSwift- Since you are in Michigan, do you have any recommendations for good places to get natural hair flat ironed and trimmed (w/o heat damage :lachen:)? I gotta start planning for the reveal :giggle:

ETA: I'm not even sure you get your hair straightened :look:
 
i will be cowashing my hair to waist length it takes too much out of me to remember to oil everyday or every other day plus the added extras
