cbanks67 How are you recovering after your surgery? I hope you're resting comfortably and not worried about your hair.

I'm working on another set of twists. Gotta protect those ends if I want to claim 3B-BSL* by the end of the year.

*3B-BSL: Bottom of Big Boobie- Bra Strap Length :grin:

NappyNelle I'm recovering well. Had a follow-up yesterday and my eye is healing well. I had a cornea transplant its looking better and better everyday. Thanx for asking.
Yea, right after surgery I just threw my hair in a bun and didn't even touch it. I'm just keeping it simple for a while.

Do you have a friend that can help with your hair? Like I did read that you wanted to wash it maybe you can stand in the shower backwards while they add the shampoo and stuff while you cover your face with a towel or something......:yep:. Just thinking of a few ways.

Just beautiful as usual @mzsophisticated26, I aint forgot about that U-Part. Im trying to get me some Indian Remy to do it. If I cant get any by the 1st imma just use a good brand of BSS hair. Do you have any recommendations?

thanks, the bss decent hair is so pricey almost the same or more expensive than the price of good quality hair online, I have not brought any since I had a quickweave in 2009. I have used Outre yaki(purple and black package) was okay. Zury ultra french twist or zury ultra twin seems to hold up for atleast a few wks. I have never washed these brands because i only had them in 2wks.

Yes I always order from cv through group orders but my last 2 hair orders the hair is from texturesbybms.com. The hair and customer service is awesome and her prices are good. I see reviews from jeffrey r hit and miss. I love kevins light yaki.

mzsophisticated26, Imma check that site out....Just checked it and they wont be selling wefts anymore so they basically dont have light yaki or indian remy left
Im glad you made the comment about Jeff, guess you gave me what I needed to know. So KevinCN it is then.
Thanks hun......

I wanna wash my bob, but I'm afraid this 10 dollar hair won't come back to life for me. It's pretty natural too everyone thinks its mine, I just hate not washing my hair every week.

I need a definitive BSL bra lol.

With some bras I'm 3 inches away, with others, I'm only 1 inch away lol

Either way... I don't think I'll be claiming bSL until the end of the year.

Tonight I'm co-washing and I'm gonna TRY to style it, but I doubt I'll have time.


LOL, this is my problem too....:lachen::lachen::lachen: I decided to wait until December for a final measurement. Either way it gives me a few more months to pull in at least another 2 inches :lick:

I don't think I'll be length checking until December. My last touch up was 7/31 and I plan on relaxing two more times before the end of the year, around 10/8 and 12/24. Crossing my fingers for 2.5 inches for growth by the end of the year.

So I did the whole ACV rinse thing... I don't think I really noticed a difference. Which causes me to believe I did it wrong lol.

Either way, I washed my hair in twists. Conditioned it with ApHogee 2 minute reconstructor. Then I spritzed with a glycerin, water and castor oil mix I made. I sealed with some oil I bought. Africa's best, something like that lol.

I don't know though guys... I'm debating on whether I want to BC again.

The highlights I got back in March were really pretty... But my curl pattern is shot to he'll! (subtract that apostrophe). I dont really like it :-(

So I'm debating on if I want to keep growing it, although it sheds like crazy and whenever I run my hands over my head it seems like I'm pulling out strands.

I know I need more moisture, which is why I made this glycerin mix... But I'm really debating on if I want to start fresh.

Perhaps I'll make it to BSL by the end of the year (because I'm AM gonna make it lol) then cut it in January? I dunno.

Thoughts?

PS- sorry for the rant and tangents lol

^^ is why I think I will stick with a body marker like BSB rather than BSL. I'm getting different results with different bras. Isn't BSL one of the very few where we don't use a body marker? Almost everything else is related to your body: EL, NL, CBL, SL, APL, MBL, WL, HL etc.

This is a good idea, every time I get a new Bra BSL changes, lol

Lovely Bun BTW...

That trim I had in July was much needed! My the majority of my hair is kissing BSL. I think I should hit my goal by December.

I'm also trying to see what effects this B vitamin supplement will have on my hair growth (even though I'm not taking it for the purpose of growing my hair).


I also want to hide my hair a bit and give it a break. I'll be getting a weave in the coming weeks. :yep:

So I did a random length check on my curly hair and then I did a straightened length check. I feel like I'm close to BSL but Idk if I can make it by the end of the year. What do you ladies think? Is it doable? :look:

*I apolgize in advance for my backfat
:barf:

On second thought... I apologize for my rant. I will at least make it to BSL before deciding if I want to chop off some color.

I had a moment of low hair esteem lol.

Here's a picture I took of my hair from the back.


It doesn't look THAT much different than a month and some change ago... But it DOES look a little closer to the bottom on my shoulder blades.

Currently in fat twists all pinned up and out of the way.

This was my hair as of 6/11. Hopefully by the next time I flat iron (sometime in late sept), I will be bsb.

I am slowly getting closer. I think I'm going to claim BSB instead of BSL because my bras are more MBL. This pic is today wearing a sports bra that's right at BSB. I have about an inch or so left to go. I will be getting a trim/dusting next month.
