Shoulder to APL in four months....ladies it IS POSSIBLE! **PICS**

[RedVelvet310]

Baggying AND DC0ing EVERY OTHER DAY? Dang you're good. If I did that I could probably reach APL too... *The urge to go to Sallys is even stronger now..*

 

[prospurr4]

I commend you on your excellent progress...and DILIGENCE! I just can't bring myself to "deal" with my hair more than once/week.

Keep up the great work!

Wow! That's inspiring! Beautiful thick hair.

Thanx a lot for this post Lexi84!
I have a question about baggying!
Do you plait your hair and then baggy or just leave it out and baggy.
I used to have my hair in plaits all the time but I'm not sure if its really necessary.
I baggy every night. Do you still baggy every other night?

OK, that was two questions.

CONGRATS ON YOUR PROGRESS!

Girl your hair look good and 4 months that impressive. Imagine your hair in another 4 months. Im only DC once a week, i guess i need to step it up.

 

[DDTexlaxed]

LOL, resist the urge....

But I must have typed that wrong. I meant to say I was baggying every day and deep conditioning every other day. Both of those combined did some awesome things for my hair and allowed me to gain maximum retention.

Thanks!!

No I dont plait my hair first I just slather it with moisturizer (ORS olive oil or Profectiv healthy ends) and put the baggy over my ends. I dont think the braiding in necessary unless you're trying to accomplish some kind of style by having it braided.

In my OP I should have said I was baggying every day and deep conditioning every other day. So baggying was an everyday thing. And no I dont baggy every night anymore, I have a SO now and that bag going cruchity crunch in the middle of the night is a little disturbing for both of us.

Thanks for showing so many pics of the various stages. It helps a lot to see those. I've been bad. Enjoying wearing mine down a lil too much too. I'm going back to protective styling tonight. I can't loose sight of my goals.

[so so chic]

That's excellent progress. Your hair looks great.

 

[rizpah]

Your hair is beautiful, obvoiusly very healthy. Excellent job.

I was just looking for retention help (searching forums) and there you were. You already answered some of my questions as to why I got my hair so long, and then started losing length (breaking ends). I was neglecting it after getting to 11 inches and on and on. Now I know the first part of my regimine to get back to keeping my length is the same as what you just did.

 

[Hot Chocolate-LB]

You have inspired me!!! Thanks for providing a visual and a lesson all in one.
I hope you have continued growth. I look forward to your BSL pics!!
