Today has been kind of a pamper me day since tomorrow is gonna be long and insane. Did my first attempt at Naptural85's best twist out ever. It's gonna be an epic failure/hot mess hybrid. I should've made the twists smaller since my hair isn't as stretched out as it should be. I have a feeling tomorrow will be a puff kind of day. After that, I went ahead and gave myself a lactic acid facial peel and a gradient mani using Thanksgiving/fall colors. Hair is under a satin wave cap and bandana. I'll be sure to take pics tomorrow to show you guys how it came out.

On a happy hair journey
I blow dried my hair and managed to break the dryer comb in hair so had to buy a new one. lol Got a trim today and now have it braided up for a braid-out. After this week I will be rocking wigs.

Thinking about braiding my hair up for a year! Dec 2012 to Dec 2013. Box braids! I think I'll leave them in for two months, take them down, then rebraid two weeks later. Trying to retain as much length as possible before my sister gets married next year! Any suggestions ladies? Anyone braided continuously for a long period of time?

Hey ladies, it's been a while since I've posted but here is my update/question ... Well I took out my invisible part yesterday, I was supposed to get a new weave this morning but both people bailed on me. Basically I had no other options seeing as how I threw my pony tail away and already purchased the weave.. So I ATTEMPTED to sew it in myself. So after 3 hours of frustration I managed to get it all sewn in. This was my first sew in on myself so the job underneath the weave isn't to shabby..but it looks pretty good on top.. Which I think had made me Want to learn how to do my own sew ins... Tired of paying people...
So on to my hair growth!!
Well I got my invisible part sew in on the 5th of November.. My hair was in the middle of my tattoo and look where it is now!! In just a little over 2 weeks!!! YAYYYYYY
Unfortunately I won't be able to apply the MTG while I'm in my current sew in because curly weave will be impossible to manage but this is a 20$ pack so it's coming out in about a week or so (side note- the length check pick my hair looks uneven because I blow dried the left side way more than the right )
And my question::
These pics are from today, someone please give me some input on my ends.. Are they split!!

Looks like everyone is doing well. You can tell we are a determined band of BSL'ers looks like even the holidays won't stop a protective style!!! LOL! That's some serious focus. I will be working for half a day from home tomorrow and finalizing my Black Friday trek partly sprinkled with some online shopping too. Just Grow Already posted some Black Friday sales on hair goodies on her FB page. But since I got a steal on my Wen intro kit, dang did I mention that thing again, I'm just too excited....I'm going to forego the Silk Dreams Vanilla conditioner and go ahead with my second bottle of Hairfinity vitamins instead.
If anything, I may deep condition tomorrow because for the most part I will be home. Been working too much, so I need to chill before I put my energy into the BF Madness.

i would love to be brastrap length by the end of 2013 but it may be a bit unrealistic for me as I'm just about neck length right now. Happy growing ladies. hopefully i catch up to you guys in 2014!

Happy Thanksgiving ladies!!!
I've been to the gym and came home and took down my braids. I'm wearing a braid out today. Braid outs seem to be working for me since I go to the gym everyday. And yes the gym here in Guyana is open today, lol.

Been pre-pooing for over an hour with sulphur oil on my scalp, HH LTR and coconut oil. Will be co-washing with my beloved Wen Fig 
and got most of my Black Friday shopping done online. Loving it! Hope you ladies are all having a great day also!!

Thanksgiving 2012...been feeling like my hair is out of wack. So I did this blowout. Grazing BSL stretched, but my ends look thin :-(. Trying to decide if I want to flatiron or not...or if I need to trim...

I wouldn't say that the flatiron is necessary I would go for the trim now and not risk a major cut later.

I would flatiron before I trimmed. So it can be more accurate. Jmo.

Good Black Friday Morning Ladies!!!
I am enjoying that I have another day off today......its been a long time coming at my workplace.
My son and I are about to get our started with him at the barbershop and then I'm on the road to visit family before everyone leaves for N.O. for the Bayou Classic festivities.
NikkiQ--waiting for the twistout pics, don't leave us hanging!!
CoiledByNature- I like the twistout and I think you have skillz just for attempting it and getting it done in 3 hours!! Your growth after 2 weeks is amazing and I know when sew-ins are done well and your own is maintained you can get insane growth and retention!! I may cover mine with a wig this fall as part of my protective stylings. Good work. I can't tell if your ends are split, but mine are kind of thin on the end like that and I am getting them trimmed off today. I have color on the ends and the dryness and thinning is a mess, so off they go!
MyAngelEyez~C~U-- First of all, your hair is growing so FAST!! You will be a BSL Ninja by like March at that rate! I too would trim, just to prevent the thin ends from rising up any higher. I'm not kidding it hurts my feelings to feel like I'm cutting off my progress, but I'm like okay, in the long run my progress is going to be SO much better in terms of health and length. Right now, ends are on LOCK in protective mode like Fort Knox!!!
Anyone doing the 6 month no heat, no trim challenge with Sistawithrealhair on Youtube?

NikkiQ I'm not sure, I think I should lightly flat iron to get a true view of my ends. I'm hoping once I do that I'll only need to take off .5"-1".
KaramelDiva1978 I agree, I don't want to loose anymore progress, so I will trim.
