I plan on using the grey hair to track my growth because I want to stop the henna for a while. I will just do the cassia treatment.

I've only hennaed twice & I'm just curious to know why you're stopping? I think it's a good idea though to use the gray to track. I can only track between hennas. I might have to try cassia out so that I can track my progress better. Do you mix/use it the same way you do henna? Also, where do you get yours from? TIA...

nakialovesshoes I am not sure how long I will stop the henna because I love it so bad even though the front of my hair looks straight with a curl to it but I am missing my salt and pepper it was the bomb when I had it. I missed the henna and went back to that.

I use this which is already mixed with the powders I use with my henna. http://www.ayurnaturalbeauty.com/products/Cassia-Hair-Treatment.html
here are the ingredients

Ingredients: Neutral Henna (Cassia Obovata), Amla (Emblica Offinalis), Shikakai (Acacia Concinna), Brahmi (Bacopa monniera), Khus (Chrysopogon zizanioides), Bhringraj (Eclipta Alba), Kapur Kachri (Hedychium spicatum), Methi (Trigonella foenum-graecum), heded, Ratanjot (Onosma echioides), Baheda (Terminalia belerica), Katha (Acacia catechu)

so I can use this without color for a while and see how long I make it lol. oh and the good thing about this is you mix it when you get ready to use it and you only leave it in for about 40 mins.

I just finished "trimming". I didn't realize how bad my ends had gotten since my last trim in February and I basically put myself back at bsl. le sigh.
 
So what do you all think? I think in scraping bsl!

And that hair clip actually just broke in my hair lol! I left it in but it probably won't see tomorrow :grin:

Thanks mama! :) this is the highlight of my day. Its kinda shocking to me to see how my hair has grown! This time last year, all i could wear was a puff and i was trying to get past CBL/SL to APL!

Heey TAN!!! Welcome! :D

Look at all of the growth in here! Go'on ladies!!

Update:
I'm back in mini braids. I plan to semi-straighten and do a length check next month. Can't wait to see where I am!
 
Sooooo my braid out is taking on a new shape and looks longer in the front. I hope the back catches up and that I'll make full MBL by the end of the year.

What kind of style is it?

SmilingElephant well in the front the sides are flat turned until they get to the back and I put bobby pins in them to hold them until I can grab all the hair together. I put a ponytail holder on it and take the bobby pins out I then twist the loose hair and stick the end of the ponytail under the holder. it is the same style I was doing last year but with plaits.

I have a problem I can not keep my hands out of my hair. the only time I leave my hair alone is when I am not feeling well. I washed and deep conditioned used hairveda whipped creme as my leave in and use olive oil for my sealer.
 
Hey ladiiieeesssss!!!

I'm excited to be posting in here once again! Can't wait to read everyone's updates (in class later on lol)

I'm making some changes to my regimen after the craziest hair session EVER this past weekend. Ya'll! It took me 3 days to pre-poo and detangle my hair! 3 DAYS! Of course I took some breaks. Friday, I detangled for 3 straight hours and only had 3 braids in my head. 3/12 that is. So I will no longer allow my hair to shrink in wash and gos or anything like that. My new regimen will be to continue to pre-poo, detangle, shampoo and condition in 12 braids once a month and wear a braidout that week. I will co-wash in about 6 braids once a month (not the weekend I shampoo) and wear my hair under wigs or in a bun for the remaining 3 weeks that month. I will moisturize once a week when PSing and everyday when doing a braidout.

Tis all! I have to go to class now. I'll be back later!
 
^Lawd uh mussy!

I think i need to do a clarifying wash. My hair has been feeling weird this week.o__O

Im thinking about straightening it this weekend.

Like really...I won't be satisfied until I get that WL hair. I'm now looking into ayurvedic powders:grin: Quite excited about them actually:yep: Amla and Bhringaj are what I have now and I'm planning a nice treatment tonight with them:lick:
 
Hi ladies! I attached a photo of my current length. I am MBL now and I think I have 2 to 3 inches before I a WL. I should be there by the end of December/ January. What do you all think? It's looking promising :yep:

lilliz6 OMG!!!! it looks to me that you are there like touching it.
 
I just brought me some grape seed oil tonight and I have to tell you I love how my hair feel. it is hard to explain because it is smooth and soft and I smooth out every strand to the ends. and massaged my scalp with it.
