At least you can grab the back with your hand. That's a milestone. I'm not there yet.

faithVA there is a trick to grabbing from the back. I am not there yet but if I tilt my hair all the way back, then I can grab my hair, then I slowly straighten my head. Its just for my private laughs though. :look:

Ok, yeah. I'm not that flexible. Even if I could grab the hair, by the time I straightened up I would yank my head back or pull my arm out of the socket. You trying to hurt somebody girl :lol:

I wanted to share pictures of my donut (excluding fillings :lick:

). It is no longer sad.

This picture is too light. Darn flash!

Lurkee · May 24, 2012

Who can explain all those random little hairs sticking up all over the place. Is it frizz? Breakage? How can I avoid them?

Blairx0 · May 24, 2012

Dc with a yogurt, honey, and olive oil mixture. Hoping for an easy detangling session.

Did a simple Co-Wash yesterday using 1/4 Sunflower Oil 3/4 Argan Oil Conditioner. Beautiful silky results, used Cantu Shea Leave In and sealed with EVOO/Coconut Oil. Also did a mini BC on the front right side of my hair, those orange ends just had to go! Cut back from nose tip to eyebrow... oh well!

@claud-uk why the mini chop? were the orange ends hair color?

I would love for my hair to grow in the blink of an eye.

@NikkiQ Maybe you can share some of that blinking power.

Don't mind me. I am feeling stressed over my final exams in 2 days.

@Lurkee the little hairs could be flyways, untamed hair, or frizzies. Do you brush your hair into a bun or comb into a bun?

After a roller set I use my Boar Bristle Hair Brush with a little Organic Coconut Oil (OCO) anything that's sticking out I brush into place. Here's an earlier post on the brush I use :wink2:

I rarely (if ever) brush my hair. Most of the time I also finger comb into a bun so my hair is never sleek. What do you think is the gentlest way to handle these wild hairs? Daily brushing?

Lurkee for me I only brush on dry hair when:
1. roller setting hair
2. prepping hair for deep conditioning (once a week on Sundays!)
3. brushing hair for a smooth look

These are the only times I brush my hair with the Boar Brush. I also use my new Denman Brush Model D4 with 9 Rows and wide tooth comb to detangle :yep:

Daily brushing really depends on your type of hair, condition of your hair (is it strong for daily brushing, does it break easily), and the kind of brush being used!

@NikkiQ I don't see a BSL Challenge 2013 just yet! If you build it we will follow :grin:

We have these @ LHCF:
MBL 2013 Challenge!
Waist Length 2013

BSL here we come to whipping our hair in 2013!!! :rocker:

PinkPeony · May 24, 2012

Yes a BSL 2013 challenge would definitely help focus on the longterm.
Currently I don't want to even see my hair bc I will get anxious about checking length and making APL fast.
Great idea NikkiQ

NikkiQ · May 24, 2012

I'll create a BSL 2013 in October if there isn't one as a one year anniversary for this challenge :giggle:
