Unfortunately the siggy pic is of my natural hair the 1st time around, a few years ago. I have it there as a visualization for where I want to be by the end of the year. I BCed down to a TWA on 09-10-11.

I figured that out after i read your siggy:grin: I'm so awkward!:lol:

I just finished my wash day...i pulled out the Denman today...i don't know why i stopped using it:spinning: It made my hair lay down:gorgeous: And it got rid of the lingering shed hairs.

I clarified today. i shampooed with Suave Naturals ocean breeze, detangled with HE Totally Twisted and deep conditioned with Suela y Canela. Then i put KCKT leave in and then the roots of nature curl cream in and sealed my ends with JBCO....and put a little on my scalp too.:yep:

Now i'm airdrying in a wash n go pony:)
 
well I am sitting with my henna treatment. If I don't fall asleep I will be washing it out around 5am.

Oh did anyone see my daughters updated pictures? it is growing in nicely.
 
I feel like I am getting a perm every time I do my henna. I see more length after the henna is washed out. And I also think that it is the henna that is making me lose curls.
 
Well ladies, as some of you know...LHCF will be down tomorrow from 8am-8pm. If i don't talk to you before it shuts down i hope all you ladies have a nice day and continue to have happy hair! :D
 
hey I didn't know that but I never do until it does. I am sitting here waiting for my wash n go to dry didn't feel like sitting under the dryer today. Trying to make sure that I train these curls.
 
I want to know how many of you that are living in a cold area and it happen to snow to advantage of this day to pamper your hair???? I took my moroccan oil intense hydrating mask and applied on freshly washed hair and put a plastic cap on it and sat with a heating cap on for about an hr. when I say that my hair feels like cotton I am not lying. never mind that yesterday I bagged my hair all day trying to get my curl back in the front of my hair.

I think all of it worked because my front is curly again. I cannot take my curls out again it is not worth it.
 
come on girls I thought even on a snow day that we would have more in here. I know not everyone is living in the snowy area but my goodness.
 
:lol: I had to work today! I'm still here!

I have been on a roll with using up my products.....i had a lot of those "pretty much empty bottles" just sitting around and i'm really using them up!:yep:

I think my staple shampoo and conditioner is gonna be Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose and if i can't get hold of that...i'll use Yes to Carrots shampoo and conditioner. HOWEVER....i will be using Suave Naturals for co-washing:yep:...that Ocean Breeze scent is the bees knees!!!:infatuated: It smells like Summer to me.:)

Shadiyah...sorry you're caught in the snow....while i'm down here rockin flip flops and a hoodie to go to the grocery store this week:grin:

SmilingElephant just rub it in why don't you lol.... man I really want to go back to Atlanta and would if I was not sick... think it is wise to stay near my family????
 
I've been WAYYYYYY lazy with my hair this week.

Next week I'm tryin to get those poetic justice braids so I can just have a protective style and leave my hair alone.
 
I'm making it my life's mission to move to a warmer climate...

Shadiyah
Sorry girl. I decided to spend the time with my menz. I've been kinda half-lurking the boards while watching movies. LoL And my dog likes to plop his head onto my netbook keyboard when he wants more attention..big baby.

No hair pampering b/c I'm in extensions. But I did put them into a style and put my spray mix into a color applicator bottle. I've been applying it twice/day and then scarfing it back up ;- )

MzSwift well that all still sounds good. I hope you see some good growth once you take out your extensions because you are still moisturizing them everyday.

yeah girl the cold can do that you to. which is why I use to have the winter blues every year like I was depress until it started to get warm. the only way that I can stay here now is because I am home bond. since I am in all the time it doesn't bother me too much and I can wash my hair every day if I want except when I have to go out to the dr.
 
I have to say that my curls are BANGIN today... I really hope that I get to WL and beyond but I am really happy with healthy hair.
 
So many challenges to update...
I have finally gotten pictures to share :)

Hopefully PSing my way through most of the year.
Next up, my new wigs! :)
 
MzSwift wow how long are you leaving them in? I know what you mean about the challenges that is all I see now I am not joining anymore except this one because I can not do all that to my hair. That is what my problem been all this time. I have found my niche and I am so so happy.
 
I'm just above waist length now, but my ends are a mess. I'm going to have to trim, let it grow then even it up. Hopefully I'll be full, healthy WL by the Jan 2013.
 
Shadiyah
I'm trying to leave them in until Feb, that'll make one month.
Yes girl, I end up forgetting which challenges I've signed up for. LoL

I like that this one is a ways out.
 
OMG I had to jump in here and just tell yall how I just love my curls LOL :lachen:

man I had to copy her regi because our hair is so much alike http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn7LhpTqz50 but I had to I had to do it backwards. Mixed chicks still my stable but I put the mixed chicks leave in on first and I let it dry just about all way and then I go back with a little water and use the altena and rack and shake and then I am done. WOW I just love my curls. But it does not work on next day hair eeellll just do not like second day hair.

So also I did a length check in the shower with conditioner in because is the only way I can pull on my hair and I am like 1 inch away from bsl. but now only that I check the one from last yr and man oh man there is such a difference. I will not whin again about length, it is defiantly growing. I was driving myself crazy this past year with all this length checking every month and going crazy because I didn't think it was doing anything lol. This year something new. Just keep doing what I am doing any nothing more and watch it grow lol.

Thank you all for all the help you giving me when I was freaking out about my ends and everything else because that $30.00 I spent on the moroccan oil mask was def worth it and yes when it is gone I will be buying it again.
 
I put my hair in medium-ish braids. There's probably over 35 on my head though...

I'll wash in them and leave them for at least a week or two.

In February I'll get the extension braids.
 
I think because of the date on this post people think it is old and over but we are still going with this challenge and it is not over yet. So please keep come in here and support us.

:hiya: I am still here but doubtful I will make it now. I transitioned, relapsed with a texturizer and am transitioning again . . .I need a kick in the pants for messing it up:buttkick: I am now natural and at neck length. I am also in the steaming and vitamin challenges for this year. Hopefully those and protective styling will get me in dreaming range:grin: Thanks for the bump!

Thanks for the mention!

Honestly, things haven't been great. I've been so bad with my hair.

I started this year by cutting off 4 inches of horrible ends, taking me from APL to CBL. I've been good in 2012 though. Keeping my hair in protective styles and starting my own KISS challenge. I'm too lazy for a complex hair regimen so I've streamlined it to Henna twice a month, co-wash once a week and put into a protective up-do until next wash/co-wash day.

My staples are:
Red Persian Henna
Rose water and glycerine/honey for moisturising
Jojoba/Argan oil for seeling.

I just use any good conditioner and sulfate free shampoo to cleanse and co-wash as needed.

My hair now has a great reddish tint from the henna, feels softer and stronger too. Hopefully, by the end of this year, I will be back to full healthy APL and 2013 will see me at least at MBL.

Oh, I also have a daily glass of diatomaceous earth. Don't know what it's done to my hair yet, but my nails like it.:lol:

Fingers crossed!
