BSL 2013 Challenge

[daae]

daae what is your reggie like? You know hair growth takes times and won't be rushed for ish! A watched pot never boils so maybe you should put your hair away for a bit and focus on other things to not drive yourself hair crazy.

My reg

DC with Aubrey GPB/ORS replenshing pak one/AO HSR/Aussie moist twice a week
Use PP oil. use jojoba oil/WGO
Wash once a week
Moisturise with water using loc method (1x - 2x per day)
Finger comb
Trim/dust every 3 months/as needed


Try to monitor it as my hair didn't grow much last year becuase i didn't monitor it.

my hair is just difficult.

Whats wrong Kerryann

I'm just not happy with it at all. The one side long and one side short ish is plaguing me like a **** and I just can't figure it out. I also refuse to cut to even it out because its going to grow back the same way

My hair does the same thing. My right side always outgrows my left side. Each side is growing though which is good. So what i do is keep my ends clipped and let my hair do its thang. Plus i stretch my relaxers now and its helped alot. My hair is thicker and you can barely tell one side is longer.

 

[NikkiQ]

Did my Celies a bit smaller this time so I can evenly distribute my moisturizer. Gonna try to be more consistant with using the LOC method and see how my hair reacts to it.

Sent from my Android...Boom.

 

[Meritamen]

i have definitely had the same problem, I'm pretty sure i'm allergic

Nooooo! Coconut oil was my first love. It did great things for my hair, no other oil can compare.

 

[NikkiQ]

My Lord! The only red hair I have left is in the braids! Everything else is my natural color. Ohhh this is just not kosher. Come on BSL so I can dye my hair again!

What a great ponytail. This is what I want!!

GettingKinky
Do you mean you want a weave like that? I can see two or three layers of tracks/clipins in the crown on the photo?

Do you mean you want your hair streaked with blonde highlights and deep low lights? I love the way her color is done.

Do you mean you want your natural hair to be that long and thick? If so, me too. Although I am assuming she got the thickness from adding clip in weave to her natural hair, I would still like to try to get my natural hair that thick and long.

 

[jessicarabbit]

L-liquid (water or water based moisturizer)
O- oil
C- cream

hey BSL sisters! i just came home yesterday evening. my delivery was successful and i had a beautiful bouncing baby boy! he was 7lbs 12oz. he was so active the whole time. when the doctors were preforming the c-section they saw him moving and kicking in the womb. he came out kicking, crying, and peeing! he was a hungry little something too! he was sucking on his thumb and fingers like his life depended on it!

i will share more and try to post a pic. i didn't take any pictures, but his dad did. he wasn't able to come home with me last night though. they kept him to finish is series of meds and for observation. he had a lot of nasal congestion that was messing with his breathing. it was heart breaking leaving him. i went to the special care nursery often or they would bring him to my room for us to spend time together. he is such a sweet, hungry little baby!

the nurse has him on a wonderful feeding schedule and i plan to stick with it. he takes 4oz and sleeps for about 4 hours. but he turns into a monster when he wakes up!

he knows the sound of my voice! it's very calming to him.

as for me, my recovery seems to be going ok so far. since i got home, i have been trying to take it easy, but i can't help myself. plus, my little rugrats bombarded me! they told me they missed me, then turned around and starting asking for stuff!

i tried my best to look decent in the hospital daily. i got up, showered, combed my hair, and put a little makeup on. it made me feel better. my hair is holding up fine. i have just been keeping it in my bun. i plan to wash Wed.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! So happy that you had a safe delivery.

 

[NikkiQ]

I know we have a few other preggers ladies in here. shortdub78 and winona had their bundles of joy already. How are you feeling Kerryann??

 

[growbaby]

Hey ladies!

I'm super excited to see all the babies! I love newborns.

How are we all doing ? Less than 2 weeks until our 1st check-in! I'm pumped to see some beautiful hair.

As for me I think I've decided to start texlaxing after under processing 5 months of new growth 4 weeks ago. It's not bothering me at all and I like it. I have other under processed areas from a couple other relaxers and I don't experience breakage from the different textures so I think I'm gonna go ahead and go for it. I'm no longer gonna stretch to 5 months tho just to be safe. I will be texlaxing every 12 weeks and work my way up from there. Are there any texlaxed aspiring BSL'ers here?? I would love to see some texture shots and see the difference from my hair and texlaxed heads

 

[NikkiQ]

growbaby I think that Ms. pelohello is a texlaxer too if I'm not mistaken

Guys if I'm just above APL could I join this thread? I'm straightening this week to know or sure but my V stretches a little past APL in the shower but as a texlaxer, it doesn't stretch as much dry.
