I've been wearing my hair out a lot lately and decided to get back on my twisting game. Just completed a set and pinned them up. I've totally missed this style even though it takes me FOREVER to do. I'll be wearing a twistout this weekend and then redoing these twists to keep in for a couple weeks.
I think I like the whiskey soak from BASK. Definitely can tell a change in my breakage. I'm going to try the Hairveda Methi in the next couple weeks. I have high hopes since I'm now in love with the Sitrinillah DC.

Last night I twisted my bangs in preparation to flat iron it this morning... The waves were cute so, I didn't flat iron them. My hair is super soft from last nights combo! My client gave me some Wen to try out and now I want to purchase it. I just started a 40 day fast with my church yesterday and I gave up spending on things outside of necessities... I think this will be harder than giving up FB, IG and poultry!

I would like to join . Here is my most recent length check. I'm natural and I had a Dominican blow out on 1-11-14. She had to cut 2 inches due to my dry split ends. I deep condition once or twice a month . I MS a few times a week . I wear half wigs 99% of the time . I need to up my hair game because the last few years I've been focusing on my fitness goals .

OMGosh I just laughed out loud...I'm sorry I've never had anyone tell me that. I actually use clarisonic spin brush and Purity from qvc to wash my face. Been using it for almost a year now. Thank you!

I am joining in!! I would like to stop cutting my hair and get back to my APL from 2010 (in my album)
Current hair length -- SL
Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Transitioning -- Relaxed
Goal Month -- December 2014
Current Reggie and styling choices --
No heat except 1x per month max, protective styles or buns otherwise, wash or co-wash with Giovanni & DC once a week with AO mixed with EVOO, protein treatments with Aphogee 2-step as needed. Trying to keep it simple.
What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL/BSL? No heat. No scissors. Stretching between relaxers.

Ladies when you join the challenge please send me a PM so that way I know I haven't added you already. There's some that I added b4 and just getting around to doing stats so I don't need a PM from them. But if you are barely joining please PM me.

Hi! I'm Alex and I'm joining this challenge. I'm not yet APL, but I would like to hope that by December 2014, my hair hits BSL.
Current hair length-- Below Shoulder, not quite APL
Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Transitioning-- Texlaxed/Transitioning
Goal Month-- I give myself all year to get to BSL, so December 31, 2014
Current Reggie and styling choices--
I protective style with cornrows under wigs and hats for 2 weeks at a time.
I steam every couple of weeks, for 20 minutes with DC or leave in.
Using the Shea Moisture line and Komaza Care line for moisture, protein, conditioning, , and Sulfur 8 to reduce itching while in braids.
I baggy or GHE 2-3x per week to combat the dry winter air.
What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL/BSL?
I think I have finally found my perfect moisture/protein balance-- my hair was breaking like crazy at all of my lines of demarcation (relaxed to texlaxed, texlaxed to less processed texlaxed, and less processed texlaxed to natural hair) But for the last 3 weeks, I started using a moisturizer with a good amount of silk protein, even though it’s primarily a moisturizer, and everything just stopped. My hair has felt tooooo good, and when I run my hands down my braid to check for dry spots or anything amiss, nothing comes off on my hand. I thought there was no help for my relaxed ends!

I’ll take one when I come out of these cornrows.[/I][/I]

I think I'm going to just take these twists out and start from scratch. My hair needs a good protein treatment and I can't do that with the twists. They've been in for 3.5 months now

My new wig is here! Im going to wear my lace wig on weekends (for work) and special occasions. When im around the house I will wear my hair in cornrows. I can cowash as needed and I will redo my braids every other week. My wig regimen will last for 2 months. I start missing my hair after a while
