Just woke up from my 7hr nap lol.
M&S with Bee Mine moisture cream and avocado oil. I'm only going to use a little because I plan on DCing tomorrow!

hello NikkiQ et al, I am joining. want to make BSL by labor day (6 mos, 3 in, i think thats about right). also focused on growing out my nape breakage, so i am in the thicker fuller hair challenge also.
nothing big--washing and DC'ing when my hair needs it, rinsing with aloe vera juice, using a leave-in, baggying w moisturizer & coconut oil, and using protein treatments here and there. minimal trims. stretching relaxers to every 2 months, so 3 over the time period. also focused on my nape, so NO wrapping, massaging castor oil + infusium 23 into the area. only blow dry the roots when i have a special event, otherwise no heat.

I am so loving that pic @NikkiQ.... all that red hair 
HUH....
I will get there one day. Still pecking along and nothing major to report. For this month each week I will be doing a curlformer set . I bought a new set of curlformers the extra wide ones I can't wait until they come, because I will use those until I out grow them. I want more of a doobie look, instead of a twirly curl look right now that I am getting with curlformers long and wide. I am going out each weekend this month so I need my hair on point. In between I will do my wash n goes since going to swimm class messes up my doo.
Any NY,NJ, PA ladies there is a hair expo in Brooklyn, NY on April 20, 2013. If you'd like to come pm me and I will forward you the information. I will definitely be there with bells on

I had an amazing hair day yesterday. On a 1.5 week old flat iron I dusted my ends, washed with my wen, did a 2 min aphogee reconstructor, DC w/ Ors replenishing for 3hrs (1st 20 mins with heat). Then put in my cant Shea butter leave-in and did 4 Bantu knots. My hair wasn't completely dry this am but I covered my palms in grapeseed oil then took them down, separated, and fluffedmy hair is now lightly waved and softer than a babies bottom
lol

Your hair looks so pretty. It looks like a looser braidout. I havent done a bantu set in years! I might try to do that after out length check.

Hey Ladies,
Question, do any of yall have the "u" shape trim. I am sooo in love with how reneice trims hair and I would like (cross fingers) to do it myself for our next length check. Now I googled how to do a "u" shape trim and they said to put your hair in a pony tail and then attached another pony tail holder under the pony tail and slide it down until you get to your ends. I watch prettywitty77 utube channel and notice she trims her hair the same way and has a "u" shape or is trying to get a "u" shape. Does that sound right?
Do any of yall have a "u" shape trim?

I washed my hair today then DC and roller set. Roller setting and drying my hair is taking longer these days. When I roller set I am seeing longer lengths now ( I have to stretch my arm out further). So I am excited to see what I have accomplished this first length check.

Beautiful curls!!! A friend bought me those same earrings but without the heart in the center. I've had them over a year and have yet to figure out what to wear them with, lol.

Bye-bye straight hair. I'm off to take a surfing lesson.!!!!!!
My hair won't be straight again until April 25 when I go for my colored cellophane treatment, so this will have to be my March length check.
ETA: I'm really going to miss my sleek, bouncy ponytail. I wish heat wasn't so damaging, or that roller sets were as quick as a flat iron.

I love your curls. How long did it take you to set and dry?

Two hours? And your dryer looks like a good one. I just can't imagine doing that once a week. Sigh...I guess straight hair just isn't meant to be for me.

LHCF has totally warped my thinking. We went to a luau last night and all the performers have at least MBL hair, but I only considered the ones with WHIP length to have long hair. That's just crazy!

I'm the complete opposite, LOL! 1 hour to set and 25 minutes to dry. I can't wait to master roller placement. 1 hr start to finish is a dream come true!!

Thanks guys!!
I think I have about an inch to go if I use this bikini to measure. Which means another 10 weeks at least. My hair grows slowly.

Arghhh! I just washed my hair and my stylist got my last texlax waaay to straight. Now I have ~1-2 inches of almost straight roots, 5-6 inches of very lightly texlaxed hair and the rest bonelaxed.
Next shampoo I'm going to try a protein conditioner to see if the roots will curl up. Otherwise I'm not sure what to do. There's no way I want to try and do a corrective on the middle portion, but these straight roots just don't go with the rest of my hair.
Grrrrrrr. :-( :-( :-(
