BSL/MBL 2015 Challenge

Just do like what I did go find a cheap shirt with lines an inch apart and label that. Cheaper than what they are charging online for a lc tee.

True! I have a couple of shirts with lines, but they are too nice to label. I can still take pics in them and count the lines. Great idea.
 
I am not going to fuss with my hair this week. I will bun for a week until I get my hair done again. As my hair gets longer, bunning is getting much easier.
 
My hair felt so good after the nice DC session I had a couple days ago. Gonna find the time somehow to cowash and DC tomorrow. I know a lot of SM products are polarizing but the 4 I've tried so far are :lick: Hope they're all hits for me.
 
I just massaged my scalp with mn and lavender oil. The smell is so soothing it almost put me to sleep. I'm starting to feel a little new growth. Next week I am getting my hair rollerset/blown out again and I will update with pics

No, I'm close to MBL and I still don't feel like it's good enough. I feel you about the wigs though. That's why I really just wear my hair curly when it's out. It's ether pinned up or in a twist out. JosieLynn

Yea I'm usually curly or flat twisted so ppl are always surprised whenever I wear my hair straight. And man idk if I'll ever feel like my hair is enough. My ultimate goal is hip length so we shall see
 
I am at 12 weeks post and this new growth is kicking my butt!!! I can't wait until friday or tomorrow even to get my touch up. I feel like all my hair broke off, im never doing this again... ugh.

Are you noticing short little hairs or longer pieces of breakage? If it's short little hairs, you could need to up your moisturizing and/or moisturizing DCs specifically for the middle. Personally, my new growth gets really dry so I try to keep it as moisturized as possible. The buns and ponytails may also be too much stress on your hair. What are your thoughts on braids or twists or even wigs? Just curious.

I used to wear HW all the time. I may have to go back. I notice more longer hairs than anything, but not with the bulb, it seems to be breaking off right where the new growth starts. :nono:

I'm sure your hair didn't break off. Shrinkage plays tricks on us for real. When it's time for a new blowout my hair appears 2 inches shorter :look: When I was relaxed it was even worse. My hair seemed thinner and shorter around touch up time. But it is just an illusion. All the thickness at the roots is coiling up your straight hair with it. Relax girl (pun intended). I'm sure your hair will still be beautiful.

Sorry you're experiencing this! The longer hairs usually mean not enough protein. Basically, your hair is stretching a ton (moisture) but not strong enough/elastic enough to retain its shape (protein). The line of demarcation (where new growth meets previously relaxed hair) can be really fragile. Maybe you could do a light/medium protein treatment? I like to do one before I relax, anyway. Keep us posted!
 
I went to the gym today and I really broke a sweat. My poor roots went poof :lol: I gotta figure out a way to wear my hair to keep it dry. I need some thick cotton headbands.
 
Ummm...I think it's been almost two weeks since I washed my hair. That NEVER happens, especially since it's been down the entire time. Thank goodness for pin curls and dry shampoo.

I'm cowashing tonight and bunning for at least a week.

What kind of dry shampoo do you use? At this point I don't even think dry shampoo would help me :lol: I haven't washed in 2 weeks and my hair is oily :blush:

I just use Suave. I'm sure there's a "better" one, but this is my first experience using dry shampoo at all, so I have nothing to compare it to.

I noticed I have much shorter hairs at my crown, down the middle and other areas throughout. I hope this is just new hair growing in and not breakage..
