BSL 2013 Challenge

Chronically at BSL -_-
Loving all this beautiful hair in here!!!! I just wanted to pop in and show my latest protective style: super huge Senegalese twists with curled ends. They are about the width of my pinky finger and go to my waist. They took about 6 hours only and then I woke up and dipped the ends.

I LOVE THEM!!!

I wanna hurry up and put my hair back in my loose-strand twists. My hair shrinks up like a mug and it's getting on my nerves because when it's shrunken it rejects moisture. Oil pretty much just sits on it and water is basically like pouring a 8oz glass on the sahara.

Plus, with the twists I get to play with my length! That's always good.
We'll see if I can detangle it tonight (probably not gonna happen) and blow it out sometime this week so that the twisting process can commence this weekend. :drunk:

I used to go through withdrawals from not wearing my hair loose, now I'm experiencing protective style withdrawals :rolleyes:

The Celies are coming out tomorrow for a puff or bun all weekend. One of my best friends is flying in to visit for the weekend so I'm gonna be away from the comp for a few days ladies plus I start a new session of classes on Monday. Got 4 of them this time around. Yikes!!

I straightened my hair after 7 months and I think i'm almost there, I'm gonna do my hair fresh for my B-day this weekend and will post pics. I finally found a flat ironing technique that works!

I'm still in braids...my new growth is quickly sneaking up. Trying to get 4 more weeks out of them, but probably need my edges redone.

My 2 year nappaversary (post BC) is Saturday! I didn't think I would make it, but I am loving my natural hair and so does my family.

How are you and the baby doing @gvin89??? :babyg:

NikkiQ, we are good! She's a good sleeper so I get rest as well! My physical recovery is coming along so I can now focus on preventing post partum shedding or at least getting ahead of it.

Best of luck to you with this next round of classes...4 is a pretty heavy load.

I ordered some Naturelle Grow products last night. I love ordering stuff from other Etsy people. Hopefully its as good as other ladies on the board claim it is. Still looking to order more.

gvin89 awwwwww what a cutie! So precious!


On another note: I didn't feel like my hair was long until when my stylist was flat ironing my hair and it took her a while to go down my hair. It felt so good! LMAO.

I'm worrisome about WL hair if I ever get there!

Here is my hair and gives a better shot of what the length looks like now. It's still not quite BSL, but come August/July It is absolutely mine.

Just did my very first tea rinse...Yay!!!! I used Earl Grey black tea and let it sit on my hair for 15 min with a plastic cap. I rinsed then cowashed it out with VO5 moisture milks and followed that with Suave black raspberry and white tea condish. Im thinking i should have been tried tea rinsing lol. Ladies that tea rinse, how often are you doing it?

Hey ladies!! Picked up my friend and ended up venturing into Plaza Las Americas (biggest mall I've ever freakin seen) and ran across a little BSS. They had a ton of Dominican products and I finally picked up some CON argan oil products. I got the sulfate free shampoo and a leave in conditioner. I will give them a try next wash day.
