pelohello- I can't see siggy pics on my phone but I want to see your haircut. Can you post a pic please?

I got a serious cut (2-3 inches) in April. I've had my hair flat ironed 3 times since then. Today I noticed that I have a million split ends. I guess my hair does not like heat. I'm hoping it's just because my ends are bonelaxed, but I'm going to start looking for mid shaft splits too.

I've been using proclaim curl activating gel. I know some of the ladies use eco styler, but that stuff is just way too heavy for my hair. But I do use the eco on my edges. Before I apply the gel, I do apply my leave-in and sealant. I also think that applying gel in small sections is better than applying it in large sections.

Bumping: )

I cowashed my hair yesterday & then flat twisted. It turned out great. To help reduce frizz (it wasnt dry all the way) i used a heat protectant.

You ladies must be on summer vacay:)

I shampooed my hair today. Used Aubrey Organics Swimmer's Shampoo to clarify. It was much needed. It had almost been two weeks. I didn't have time to DC this morning, so I just did a regular quick condition with AO HSR. Then I used Annabelle's watermelon leave in spray and hair cream. sealed with Hairveda Cocasta Shikakai. Hair feels really nice right now. Not sure how I'll wear it. I do want to get a good dc in soon. I can tell the difference.

Hair update: I'm a half inch away from bsl! Have 2 1/2 inches until mbl! I'm getting ready to do box braids for September and October. Protective styling and peppermint oil has been a hair saver for me and is really helping me with my hair goals.

Bought some Target brand hair skin and nails vitamins... We'll see how they work. I'll have to measure before into my weave in 2 weeks... Then I'll see how well they work when I take it down.

I just started using peppermint oil. I use it in my flaxseed gel. What has peppermint oil done to save ur hair? So far, im loving the eay it tingles on my scalp

Hey, I had a problem with dry scalp and dandruff and it has made that totally non existent for me. Also it's been stimulating my scalp and helps me grow at least 3/4 inch to an inch a month when I spray on my scalp twice a day. I use that and tea tree oil in a spray bottle with water and it's so good! I love the tingling too!

I'm planning on doing my hair tonight. I keep going back on forth with my hair. One day I'm wearing it out and then the other day I'm wearing a wig. I think I'm just gonna stick with the wig and wear my hair out on the weekend.

With my hair being this length its really hard to style the front.

Today is wash day. I'm dcing right now. I think I will blow dry it a bit and put in some medium/large twists to put back into a bun.

Think I'm going to wash and do an APHogee 2 step tonight or at least SOMETHING with protein.

Getting a sew in on Wednesday so I want my hair to be as strong/moisturized going into it as possible.

I am hoping to finally do a length check today! It has been months. Been a rough road but I am hoping to finally be at full BSL.

I have a lot of new growth in my sengalease twists. Today makes a month, but it looks like at least 6 weeks worth of growth. I'm going to take them out soon.

So... I'm BSL I think. Did a length check before getting this sew in tomorrow. Had my mom take the photo.

And I LOVE this big arse blow out I did. But only Lord knows what I will do with it besides wear it in a bun. But it's fun to play in for the night.

Have any of yall tried the Max hydration method aka MHM yet. It's a bit lengthy but well worth it in the end; especially if your hair is always dry and cant keep moisture.

I now can see my curls without any product:)

Got my sew in done...

Looking for good retention while in the weave and hoping to be solidly or closer to full MBL by Dec 31.

If I could get a good 2-3 inches I might reach WL by like March/April of next year! (FINALLY lol)

I'm thinking of dying my hair today. Well rinsing it. I used a semi last week in dark brown, but i want something either in the black or deep red family.
