BSL 2013 Challenge

[KiWiStyle]

Rocked a high bun that I'm proud of at my girl's wedding tonight!!

Think I'll play with this all week.

KaramelDiva1978 that is soo cute!! What did you use to make it!?

 

[Curlywurly10]

Did a deep condition this morning and then popped to my bss. I could spend hours in that place! Got a new hair accessory and my very first half wig for a winter PS.

Should be going to the beach today so I'm gonna attempt to rock some sort of bun. IF it comes out cute, I'll post pics but I highly doubt it

 

[KaramelDiva1978]

Good Morning ladies!!!!!! Thank you for the compliments!!!

Okay, so I used this Youtube video and INSTEAD of using the kanekalon hair, I used my trusty sock bun! I always hate the sock bun look on me because it reminded me of being in high school, so I am SO happy to be able to use the same bun for a more adult look. I got compliments on it at the wedding too.

Here goes!

The "trick" to it is all in the combing it around the bun and pinning it down loosely. When I rock it today, I will add some hair sticks and see if it comes out nicely.

Have a great Sunday, I am feeding Bay Bay's (mine) kids right now.

Loving this look today

 

[RegaLady]

I was about an inch from BSL , but due to some trimming, I will probably reach full BSL(which is my limit) spring 2013. I have about 2 inches to go.

I need to get to stop this heat fix I have been on lately

 

[beautyintheyes]

Hair is in 4 big braids just chillin in a satin bonnet while I work on a few hair accessories to sell in my Etsy store. Will probably apply my MN mix and moisturize my hair with some random spray that I have around here.

You sell them?!?!? Do you have a link I'm looking for new looks

[Evolving78]

If we stay consistent with this we should be BSL in no time!

Yesterday:
washed with joico chelating shampoo,
dc with DRC 28
Black tea rinse
DC with joico moisture recovery balm
applied bee mine bee lovely mixed with wheat germ oil
Airdried in 4 braids

This morning moisturized with Qhemet burdock root moisturizer, then cornrowed in a ponytail. Will wig it tonight for work. I need to find a good sealant. I have tried many oils individually or mixed but they all make my hair hard. Daily moisturizing seem to work fine for now, but i am afraid i might need something for the winter. This is my first winter since i started this journey. Maybe i will look into some butters; my hair loves products with shea.

[Firstborn2]

RockCreak, where have you been girl, I haven't seen you post in a while. Glad to see you back around these parts. BTW you will be BSL in no time at all.

NikkiQ, when you open your store let me know.

I need to be in a length challenge so that I am serious about growth.
Last year (2011) I ended the year at BSL, but then I had to cut my hair to even things out and get rid of awful ends.

2013 BSL would be divine.

~BSL goal month

~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL?
Nothing

I will post pics before the start of this challenge in December.

 

[jprayze]

Random thought: When I go on vacay in September 2013, I want to swing my BSL hair!

The destination is Cabo San Lucas! My friend plans these trips and makes payment plans, so I always know well in advance! Already thinking I'm going to start with nice straight hair and end with buns after I go swimming

 

[NikkiQ]

^^^I went to Cabo on my honeymoon and it was GORGEOUS!!

 

[NikkiQ]

Welcome to the challenge yaya24! Glad that you chose this one as your length challenge to keep you motivated

 

[jprayze]

^^^I went to Cabo on my honeymoon and it was GORGEOUS!!

I can't wait! Gotta get the coins saved and the hair growing!

I will definitely be trying this once my natural hair is long enough to be rapped around such a big bun

 

[CoiledByNature]

Hey ladies sorry about the delay... Here's how my invisible part sew in came out... I'm satisfied with the job but I won't ever get it again... No matter how good or bad of a job you get .. To me it just doesn't look like your hair is naturally parted :/
Ugh this just means I'm going to have to continue to do leave outs. But how the hell am I supposed to blend my kinky un relaxed natural hair without heat!!

 

[CoiledByNature]

Oops forgot to attach pics
Lol

 

[CoiledByNature]

I keep seeing this word stretch.. What exactly does it mean???
