BSL 2013 Challenge

[NikkiQ]

*Question of the Day/Weekend!!!*

Since tomorrow is Easter, what is everyone doing with their hair? Anyone busting out a cute new style for the first time or sticking with something you're already really good at?

I don't attend church and Easter will be no difference. One of these days we'll start going but for now, it's same ol' hair for me.

I guess so ...I'm not proud of not going but nor am I ashamed, it is what it is.

As I type, I'm getting my hair blow dried to be corn rowed for my crochet braids. Not really for Easter, just a happy coincidence . I'm certainly not big on the commercialism of Easter or any other holiday, but I appreciate the time of reflection and time spent with family.

I'm not doing anything special. Nevermind, I already did when I pressed my hair this week. I guess I'll wear it out

 

[deedoswell]

Hi ladies, wanted to submit my March LC - going to be busy this evening and tomorrow. Can't wait to check in on Monday and see all the lovely progress.

I have my longest layer (a few hairs ) touching the bra but don't want to claim it until the rest catch up!!!

 

[NikkiQ]

deedoswell you're gonna be claiming BSL REAL soon! I should type next to everyone's name when they said they were aiming for BSL and when they actually hit it b/c there are some people that are gonna hit it WAY sooner than they expect

 

[keranikki]

I'm posting my progress a day early. I'm rethinking my goal of reaching BSL by 31 Dec. My longest layer is currently shoulder length and I realistically do not see myself reaching BSL. I don't want to drop out the challenge completely, for I've learned a lot from the ladies in this challenge; but I do want to stay true to myself and not have delusions of grandeur. Doing this check-in has allowed me to assess my current regimen (I need to make some changes). I pressed my hair to do my length check and noticed that my ends were a little on the dry side. Used ORS Anti-breakage Creme on ends and twisted my hair into bantu knots. Hope it helps.

 

[NikkiQ]

keranikki just stay in here and participate as if it was your milestone challenge. Doesn't matter if it's APL or BSL. We're here to be part of your journey and cheer you on

What changes in your reggie were you thinking of making?

Maybe you need to DC more. Do you M&S?

 

[keranikki]

jprayze- I M&S about once a week.

NikkiQ- I'm thinking about dropping shampoo period from my regimen. I currently use a As I Am cleansing pudding or Shea Moisture shampoo. I will use my Paul Mitchell condish as my poo and ORS mayo as my DC. I also need to consistently take my vitamins (multi, biotin, fish oil).

Finally APL!

 

[NikkiQ]

So here is my official length check ladies! DH took pics for me but he cut my bra out of the picture b/c he said "it was too low". Then step back fool! *sigh* Good help is hard to find. I did my best taking a pic and compared it to my starting pic. Sorry the comparison is so small.

NikkiQ

Great growth! You can see how far your hair has gone past the flower

 

[jprayze]

The crochet braider couldn't do it with the hair I got. Now I have these cornrows in and wondering what to do!

Here's the length check from our beloved pookaloo83!

March length check


My First picture is from December 2012
My second is from March 2013

Finally hit APL!

 

[KiWiStyle]

Sweet Mother of God!! I just rinsed my DC out and my hair literally felt like the finest silk in the world!!! The only thing I did differently this wash was use Nexxus Emergencee Reconstructor. My hair is air drying right now using the scarf method so the final analysis isn't in yet. Today's regimen:

finger detangled

Washed with WEN 613

Applied Reconstructor, let sit with cap for 10 minutes with heat and another 15 minutes w/o the cap. Times are approximations.

Rinsed and lightly shampoo with Giovanni smooth as silk moisture poo.

Sprayed tea on scalp and did not rinse.

Steam DC with mix of: Joico MRB, EVOO, EVCO and QB Olive & Honey Hydrating Balm.

I don't think my hair ever felt this great, in fact I didn't want to get out the shower because I wanted to keep gliding my hands over my hair, lol. My hair was completely detangled before I applied my leave-in at almost 10 weeks post!! I'm so giddy!

I'll report back after I m&s after my hair dries.

I'm so bored with my hair. Nothing really changes day to day. I'm tired of waiting for it to get long. I need something to take my mind off it. Gardening isn't doing it, and I don't get my puppy for 5 more weeks. What do you guys do to stop thinking about your hair?

Just grabbed my old faithful LF wig. Great braids for a wig!

I have school mostly and lately I've been attempting to get better at applying makeup...even though I don't go anywhere

I run around so much that I have to squeeze hair in. About to get in the car and drive about 2 hrs to visit my parents.

ETA: I need to stay home and declutter my basement, but that's no fun!

 

[Cattypus1]

I just did my official length-check...I am so sad. I'm afraid I haven't recovered from my set back last spring. I haven't lost any length so I know it's growing but my ends are so incredibly thin. I used my LC tee and I have some thin scraggly ends trying to touch between the 2&3 but most of the weight is at the 1. I don't even want to post the pick because I want to go get a haircut right this second.
