~~~waist Length Dreams~~~ Challenge 2018

Doing my weekly wash but added an ayurvedic prepoo instead of the caramel (no bananas on hand) of cassia, hibiscus, coconut cream, sunflower oil and honey. Definitely a hit with only one con, its the messiest thing ever! How my hair feels post steam will determine if this becomes a bi-weekly thing (sorry caramel....)
 
Prepoo'd overnight with AVJ spritz & Ojon Damage Reverse.
DC'd under heat cap for an hour with a mix of Bhringraj powder and Honey's Handmade Yucca Mango & Honey.
Shampoo'd with TJ Tea Tree Tingle, CW'd with As I Am Coconut, Reconstructed with Avon's Damage Repair, R/O with ACV & Paul Mitchell's The Detangler.
LCOB'd with CON Strength & Shine, SM Yucca & Baobab, NJoy on scalp, Sarenzo Creamy Vanilla on length & Kyra Shea's Buttercream on ends.

@trclemons How are you liking the Njoy oil? I'm thinking about purchasing
 
Ok here it is :flahssssss:

This is after a conditioner wash with no product in it at all and it's also in a little bit of a shrunken state. I still have to blend it. Do you think it will ever completely fill in? My hair is so thin I'm wondering if I have to stay at a certain length at times? I'm not sure but I what I can do it continue healthy hair practices and I don't think I will ever cut bangs or layers ever again, that's for sure!

우와~ ㅋㅋㅋ 한국어 진짜 잘 하시네요 ! (그리고 고마워요 :love5: )

And nope, no relaxer. I'm a 4a/b natural with tiny spots of 3c. I've been natural for about six years now :afro: I just keep my hair stretched all the time with braidouts and roller sets (ryler stylers). I was thinking about posting my shrinkage recently because I thought the difference in length was cool. Might do it when I get home tonight

Just posting my 4b crown shrinkage. Also I'm going to be a straight hair natural for the winter I decided last week lol.:look: So I guess when I get back to wearing my hair naturally kinky and curly then I will update here again. (Because I want my hair to be waist length while in a stretched braid out, which I won't be doing this winter)

I posted a few pics in the straight hair natural hair thread, but I'll post one here for comparison (against my shrinkage photo)

Of the 3 conditioners I use I think aphoghee 2 minute is my favorite. I wonder what would happen if I used it every week? But I'm not going to go that far. I think I will drop the AO GPB since I've run out and I don't like the new formula. I will just alternate between aphoghee and Kenra.

I have fine hair, so I use a reconstructor every week without any problems. Aphogee 2 minute is one of the reconstructors I have on rotation.

I've been bunning an old tension blow-dried twist out for the last week so I need to give my hair some TLC tonight.

I haven't measured in a while, but I guess it should be growing lol. I want to straighten it so a friend recommended the Dry Bar. I was skeptical at first because she has 3b/3c hair and I'm 4a, but she said her girl is really good. My colleague at work went to cosmetology school and she has offered to trim my hair for me. I think I'll get it all done during Thanksgiving week.

Current Length: BSL

Ultimate Goal: WL

Regimen: Currently washing and D/C weekly, protective styling with twists and wigs.

How many inches do you have to go to get to WL: around 5-6 inches, I'm tall (5'10)

Natural/Relaxed/Other: (OPTIONAL) Natural

Tips/Tricks: Moisture is my friend, as well as leaving my hair alone.
Issues or difficulties you're having/Things you're tweaking to grow or retain more: I put highlights in my hair last year which look really pretty when straightened. However, it's so porous now that it's hard to retain moisture when curly. I was also lax in my regimen. So now I've decided to cut back on the heat, deep treat weekly and figure out the best moisturizer for my hair.

I will come back an add a starting pic.
 
Washed and dc yesterday. I made the mistake of washing my hair loose instead of sections.
Had some breakage from detangling my severely matted hair.
It was bad y'all, but I refuse to let this set me back. Took me all day to detangle and whip her back to good shape, and she looks longer:bud:
I use the Loc method and twisted each section. I will probably rock these chunky twists in a bun unto next week.
