Waist Length Challenge 2015

Ogoma ^^I got it because you and so many others love it. I can't wait to try. My hair isn't too picky, but I wear twists and I think that skews my understanding of what keeps my hair moist. Twists hold the moisture in pretty much regardless and I think that's why my hair has been able to thrive. It is rarely out of a protective styke. However I want to be able to truly gauge how long these leave ins/moisturizers keep my hair moist. I'm hoping narrowing down will help curb my minor pjism. :look:
 
My BF list keeps changing as I re-evaluate my stash. But it's all about moisture :grin:. So far on the list:

Hattache
DB Pumpkin Seed Conditioner
Shescentit Coco Creme Leave In Conditioner

Purabody Naturals
Murumuru Milk Moisturizer (4)
Chocolate Smoothie Conditioner

Silk Dreams
Destination Hydration
Shea Wheat Deux
Wheat Germ Butter Conditioner

and I'm debating whether or not to get SD Vanilla Silk
 
I always start off gently detangling my hair, but by the time I get finish with the first section I'm tired and I want the whole process to be over! If I don't learn to be patient when it come to detangling, I'll never reach my goal:nono:
 
Just completed a sew in! I plan on wearing this until after New Years. Hopefully I will take it down to a surprise! I think I may stick with this for the winter.

loulou82 I have tried SWDeux. I like the incredible moisture it gave me. The consistency is very thick and heavy. My strands are on the finer side. The VS gives just as much moisture for my hair and the consistency is not as thick. Good thing about the SWDeux is it is protein free. However even though the VS has a little protein, your hair wouldn't know it.
 
Froreal3 and greenbees

Darnit... two more thumbs up for VS. I guess I have to scoop them both up come Black Friday. :look:

Thanks ladies. My hair is doing very well with Naturelle Grow MRSEBC Conditioner but I need other options.

loulou82, It's one of the best DCs I've used, hands down! I have fine strands and while this is a thick product, it doesn't weigh my hair down and gives sooo much moisture! :up::up:

And I LOVE the smell. I just got my two jars that I ordered (along with two more of Deep Conditioners from her line :lol:) and I'm as happy as a clam.
 
dusted my ends yesterday. The feel soooo much better. I still dont know how I am going to style my hair for the winter without getting bored with it. Right now it's in 6 fat twists...not very appealing...
 
Hey ladies, any of yall use the fake curlformers brand? I don't remember the name of them but utuber naptural85, used the curlformer dupes and she stated that she liked the way the dupes made her hair straighter. I want to buy some curlfomers on BF, but if the knockoffs works the same; I'll buy them. I already have a pack of curlformers; but I need to purchase a 2nd pack

So I'm about done with my Blk Friday purchases. I just need to get Komaza Protein Strengthener.
 
I have yet to buy any hair products. I bought tons of makeup and perfume. Macy's is giving away a free perfume gift set if you spend over 97.00. I got my makeup done @ the MAC store. I only wanted to buy some blush, but the makeup look so good, I ended up buying, blush, mascara, foundation and lip gloss.

I'll wait for cyber Monday to pick up some hair products.

What does mid thigh and Bcl look like?
 
My longest layer is now grazing APL so I know I'm making a little progress. I still have a longggg way to go but I'm confident I can make WL by 2015!
 
Hey everyone! I haven't posted my official starting post with my pic and regimen, but I'm looking forward to growing together for the next 2 yrs or so!

I love this time of year bec it's when I stock up everything for the upcoming year!
 
I straightened my hair and it looks like I am really far from apl. Hopefully I can reach apl by march or April.

Thanks @JJamiah. I have been meaning to buy some more herbs to make newer oil infuses. I will add amla to my list as well as calendula. Did the amla help the psoriasis to heal or did it just stop itchiness?

Meritamen after he used it, he didn't have another episode for about 2 years and after that nothing so far and it has been about 2-3 years.
 
Just bought bentonite clay on amazon so I'm excited to try it on my face, on my hair...

I hope it gives me good results because my scalp just never feels all the way clean.
