Starting pic. December 2013. I was grazing BSL but I trimmed my ends so back there. Hopefully in 2 years of good care I can get to WL

Stop frontin, you know me!
Checking in, I'm do for a hard protein treatment, the last one I did one was around the middle of nov. I'll get around to doing it no later than wednesday. Nothing new to report I'm still bunning. I purchased hair for extension but have not put them in yet, I may wait until the weekend before Superbowl Sunday to do them. Also I'll post my starting pic by wednesday.

Very cute JJamiah. I feel like I need some Curlformers in my life (or the dupe).

Checking in, I'm DCing with Naturelle Grow's MM, SEB, Cinammon Condish (she needs to shorten that name) with hemp oil and EVCO. For some reason this combo smells like peanut butter paste to me. I guess there are worse thing it could smell like. :spinning: I applied a coating of AO GPB just on my ends. After I rinse it out I'll apply PBN MMM, my own oil mix, and PBN Cupuacu Butter. Then back in twists I'll go :yep:.

I ordered Irish moss, I'll try it as an overnight hair and scalp treatment then wash it out. It should arrive next week sometime.
I took my hair out of braids (I can't keep one style for long at all) a couple of hours ago and it looks amazing. My hair is really loving shea butter. I think I'm going to put it back up and away for a while though since I've got so much stuff going on. I just found out that my friend (old co-worker, we didn't hang out much or anything) died back in November the day after my aunt passed. I feel so bad especially since I didn't even know.. And I was going to text her a few days ago.. :cry2:
Hopefully I'll feel better soon and feel like messing around with my hair.
I do want to start getting in the habit (with the aid or Irish moss) of washing my hair every two weeks.

I used to have a shampoo with Irish moss in it. It was great. My roommate kept asking real sly to borrow it.

I had a dream that I had w(hip) length hair. I had flat ironed it and ppl were like :shocked: It felt great!

Then I woke up and realized I just had my plastic baggy on my head and my hair was just BSL. :cry:

Lol @"(w)hip length hair". Ahaha I've definitely had dreams like that too. But at least you wake up with BSL hair- I'm one milestone behind you at APL!

It's crazy coilyhaircutie because I've had about 3 dreams like this within the past six months. :look: They seem so darn real! Hopefully I'm close to w(hip) by end of 2016.

Ok, so a little sad news... I had to part with about 2 1/2 inches if length because if a bad cut. I am just below APL. It is so frustrating!!! Oh well, I just have to get back on track and focus on babying my hair. MBL 2015

How do you go about moisturizing while beehiving it? Are you a sealer? If so, how do you manage this In flat twists? NGraceO

NGraceO I have water, conditioner, glycerin and evoo in a spritz bottle that I spray my hair with every night. Then I apply jbco to my scalp - it's in a bottle with a nozzle. I only cornrow so I'm not sure about flat twist but I'm sure it wouldn't be any different.

loulou82 - I love them, as I have said before "Curlformers are one of the best tool investments I have made" I bought two kits for $140 and I would do it again in a heart beat. It gives me variety and silky tresses.

NaturalfienD thank you so much :) :bighug: It was nice.

Approaching solid MBL!

My hair seems to be shedding like crazy though. I can't quite pinpoint what the problem is either

I think I'm going to start taking biotin once again though.

Ok. I'm officially STEPPING IT UP!

I am back on deep conditioning two times a week and hiding my hair.

I have been under a half wig since Sunday and I am soooooo glad I took that girl off today. I have been working out and the roots were a knarled mess! I applied some oils to detangle and am deep conditioning now.

I have to step up my water too. I don't drink enough.

I really have to get back on this "retention" game.

ImanAdero has anything changed with your routine, life style to have caused the shedding?
@havilland I have also increased my water intake, and try to take my vitamins since my diet sucks right about now.

I am going to swap between Protective styling, Curlformers and wigging (which is also protective style) myself. I start school again and want to reduce the amount of attention I am giving my hair without it looking raggedy. I will be getting a weave a the end of the month. (at least that is what is on the agenda).

jprayze Love the ponytail. I don't know when I will finally straighten my hair. I do miss it :) But I am loving my PS as well :) Just lazy.. LOL

Thanks JJamiah! I'll probably straighten again in March.

BTW, I love your curlformers...you are going to make a lot of us run out and get some!

JJamiah I haven't changed anything really.

I do what I always do, my hair just sheds. Maybe it always has.

I'm thinking of adding hair vitamins into my routine although I already take a B Complex and I'll just Pee everything my body doesn't use back out...

I dunno I got color, but that would result in breakage, not shedding.

Checking in!

Shampooed yesterday after going almost a week without washing my hair (something I try not to do). My scalp was itchy and my hair was sticky. I DCed and now my hair is buttery soft, but will probably use a leave-in conditioner spray with protein in a couple of days if its becomes too soft.

Shampoo
#1 TheraNeem Naturals Shampoo (for my scalp)
#2 Davines Love Shampoo (for my hair)
Yes, my hair and scalp was pretty icky.

DC
Joico Moisture Recovery

After rinsing, I did my normal modified TCM using Aussie Moist and my blended oils.

Have u ever tried tea rinses? Black is great for shedding.

jprayze no. I haven't because I just feel like it's so much work lol. It'll be worth a try, but it's not something I really foresee myself keeping up with.

I can barely keep my wash schedule lol. But maybe at my next wash. Or I'll so it when I FINAlly put my twists in. (Which is the plan for next weekend).

1 cowash 1 shampoo...1 protein 1 moisture

Vitamins daily

Get water intake up

Trim with splitender every 8 weeks
Retouch every 8 weeks

Protective style under half wig except for the week after retouch

Baggy nightly with oil. Seal with butter.
