I love you for that and that's how ALL the challenges should be. I can't stand those "you can't join anymore, you're not in the club" challenges.
 
Okay so this is whats up with me lately......

As of today i am 30 weeks post relaxer!!!!:flowers: I cannot believe i'm saying that right now:laugh:And on the 12th i will be 7 months post!!:happydance:

So far my fave product is Oyin's Honey Hemp Conditioner....i will be replenishing this soon. But i really like the fact that it has no cones and it still gives me great moisture and slip....and also i'm back to using Seyani Hair Butter....i LOVE using this stuff in the winter bc it really keeps my hair moisturized.

Has anyone tried the Tresseme Naturals no cone conditioner?? Is it worth my money??

I was using Tresemme Naturals condish for quite a while and liked it. :yep: It's only like $2.50 at Walmart, so it wouldn't be too bad an investment if you didn't like it. Also, you could add EVOO and honey to it if it didn't work. Good luck! :)

PS- I will be straightening for my starting pics before 12/31 and b/c I need a trim. I will post a curly and a straight starting pic.

Toodles, loves! WL here we come!

I went to a Publix grocery store yesterday to get it and it was like $5....and i was like....i KNOW i've seen it cheaper somewhere else!!! I avoid my walmart like the plague bc i used to work there and every single time i go in there i end up talking to EVERYBODY!!!:lol:...and that's probably where i saw it so cheap:grin: DANG IT!
 
I want to join but I don't do a good job of sticking with challenges - and this one is for 3 years? - WOW! Besides I'd be your problem child cuz I want to get to the promised land with you (WL) but I need some direction. How are we going to get there? What protective style are you rocking SmilingE et al?

Might as well add me to the list - I'm natural and would love to be WL! Thanks and Happy Holidays to everyone!

It's definitely gonna be a journey. I seriously believe that relaxed hair is easier to maintain FOR ME than natural hair and it's because of the texture. Sometimes I think about staying relaxed so I can get to tbl lol. So I'll def be coming to you for advice lol btw...didn't I send you a message the other day? I don't remember you replying but maybe I'm trippin :spinning:

Oh you answered on your own page hahahaha thanks alot:look:

That's just it - I am not sure what works for me yet:blush:. I'm always trying something. I like the results but I move on to something else when I read about it - kinda fickle huh:spinning:?

Now you got me all nervous holdin' me accountable an' stuff :ohwell:. Guess I'd better kick it into gear and make sumthin' happen. I'm fully SL now so I've go some work to do. Thanks and I can't wait to visit your blog!

p.s. I just realized that 2013 will be a big birthday year for me:yay::dance7::yay: - what a way to celebrate!!!

Lol!!! See? All the more to keep up with it then right?:lol:

I get like that too sometimes especially when it come to products....but lately i've been learning to stick to whats been working for me. However some products just seem to not work how they used to work....like my Lustrasilks Shea Butter Plus?? It makes my hair feel weird now:perplexed.....so i figured i'd just stick to getting another bottle of Honey Hemp bc i can honestly use that conditioner 3 ways :yep:

Yes! I've been using it for my cowashes for two weeks now. I love it, it's very moisturizing, has a lot of slip, and thicker than v05.
 
Well since we are getting close to the start date I figure I might as well post a start pic. I hope these aren't too big. I did the Big Chop earlier than I had planned on Nov 19th (27 weeks post.) I hope to make SL by May 2011 (my 1 yr post-relaxer anniversary), I think I need another 2 or 3 inches before I can claim it.
My regimen hasn't changed much. I don't co-wash as much because it is too cold for that and I wash my hair every 7 to 14 days now. I'm probably going to put my hair in braids next week because I don't like my 'fro at this length.

I'm pretty sure you'll make SL by next year....heck...you might achieve more than that:yep:.....my sister BC when she was 6 months post and it seems like her hair started growing SUPER fast:hero: she's about 2 years post relaxer and her hair is on its way to BSL....she's already BSB!!

I just find her so inspiring like she's one of my natural hair idols.:infatuated:

But yeah keep up the faith and you'll make it!
 
@SmilingElephant My sister is my natural hair idol too. My fro wants to be like hers when it grows up - she's at APL.
I'm gonna be honest I have been a little lazy with my hair lately but I will not slack off. SL here I come. :)

Oh, I forgot to say that I'm trying out the new Suave Aloe Vera + Ginseng and the Suave Almond & Shea Butter conditioners from their professional line. I'm testing them as rinse-out, co-wash and leave-in conditioning. I'll post a review in a week or two.

@smilingElephant: Please count me in!

I'm almost APL now, but I'm a slow grower, so I can only dream that I will make it to waist length by 2013! I plan on wearing protectives styles until then, so I can keep my hands out of my head :)
