Hi everyone!
I haven't been as active as I should on the hair board but for 2013, I really want to make a change. I have been wearing my hair APL (when curled) for 2 years but it is not the business! I need my long hair back to feel sessy!
Current hair length - I am actually BSL when I pull my styled hair but I consider my hair APL because that is where my hair lands when styled. Four or 5 inches would get me there. It's complicated, lol.
Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd? - Relaxed with Linage Shea Butter Relaxer (the best relaxer on the planet, people!). I am relaxed straight; I used to be "tex-laxed" but I prefer being straight now (not bone straight).
Relaxing Schedule 2013
April 2013
August 2013

Wash and set hair 1x-2x a week - always wash and condition in sections:
-Oil Massage pre-shampoo treatment
-Clarifying shampoo followed by moisturizing shampoo
-Steaming deep conditioner and/or moisturizing conditioner for at least 10 min
-Apply leave-in conditioner; roller set. Dry. Flat iron new growth.
-Moisturize daily.
*Products
-Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-Suave Clarifying Shampoo
-Complete Silk Dreams Hair Care line (best line ever)
-Motions Foaming Wrap Lotion (sparingly)
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL?
I want to be consistent with protecting my hair at night to prevent split ends. I also want to moisturize more often. I may start taking growth pics in the future but not at this time.
I am requesting not to post a photo starting length (I'm not good at picture-taking
).
