Have you changed any good hair habits, washing, dc, moisturizing, hair handling etc?
I been taking good care of my hair but got lazy putting silk scarf on before I sleep. My nape has fallen out, and I'm sure I need a trim. I will correct these issues, so I can meet bsl soon.
It could be something you tried or not keeping up with that is preventing you from keep your ends. Or maybe an vitamin deficiency. I know I do, I'm anemic and take iron pills for it.

I still got time to make it!! Been away from this forum forever! I'm like less than 2 inches away from BSL. 
Thanks yall. When I used to go to this lady to get my hair done I used to go every 2 weeks now I think I'll go maybe once every 2 months which would probably be better for my hair and pockets. I am actually tempted to wash my hair out right now cause I miss my curly fro already.
I'm still kinda concerned though if I will even be close to bsl this year I guess I'll aim for next spring..
An my hair just seems so short to me

I just finished blow drying my hair. I relaxed it this morning and I have to say, I'm clueless about how far I have until APL. Can someone clue me in?
I haven't had a trim in a year, so I'm about to go get one at Super Cuts. I'll post a pic of that later.

Girl, you're practically there already. Especially based on that last pic. After your trim you should be solid APL!
Congrats!
I LOVE this HHJ!!

Thanks for responding.
I stopped combing/ brushing my hair last year and saw a big improvement from splits, but I have had a trim this year.
I used to Co wash often last year, but switched to shampoo every two weeks. My scalp gets flakes so I wanted use shampoo.
I also started using S Curl spray last year and while I think it moisturised my hair I think it coated it since it does have silicone in it.
I just switched to taliah wajid spray, which I'm fine with and castor oil.
I also started light protein treatments since I have high porosity and fine strands. That's been fine but I think I'm going to switch to moisturising dc and keep the protein to once a month.
Going to keep the nape moisturised and I think I am anaemic. I was last year and started taking iron but stopped.
I have started taking biotin and I'm noticing less tangling and breakage and my nails are stronger and not breaking. Gonna start on the iron too thanks for the tips

Good morning ladies. I did another flexi rod set last night. I only put in 9 flexirods this time and added Carol Daughters pudding. My weave feels great. Nice and soft and the curls came out nice and tight.
This is after I removed the rollers.

Still wigging it. I am wearing a kinky curly one for the next few weeks. I have been spraying my hair with Aphogee green tea or aloe juice nightly. I am almost out of the Aphogee spray. Idk if I will repurchase or get Chi Keratin mist instead... both are great products, but Chi smells better

Hey pretty ladies. How is everyone doing this week?
It has been raining a lot here in Houston this week so I've been in the house. I went to the gym twice this week so I should probably wash my hair soon. Today is actually the perfect wash day. Im off from work and dh is here to help with the kids.

I'm doing fine , just enjoying my straight hair after the relaxer but that will come to an end at the weekend when I will wash it and airdry. I think I will just do an HPG and put in that weave for the rest of the year. The wig regimen is too time consuming and with my 3rd trimester pregnancy I need to simplify things.

Yes put it away...no fuss! I love wigs but I got tired of them after a while. I think mainly bc most of mine are synthetic (except 3 of them that are too darn hot for the wig cap plus stocking cap) so I have limited styling options for the synthetic ones. I have to wear them as is so I took one of my wigs down from the cap and had the wefts sewn in. I'm actually looking forward to next year bc i do want to get 3 different types of hair for sew ins or wigs whichever I choose. I want to get relaxed, kinky str8, and kinky curly. This gives me more options with the str8 ones and I can leave my curly curly. When is your due date girly! That's awesome. I was telling hubby last night I wanted another baby lol. We both agree but it won't happen no time soon.

I want a sew in, but Im too lazy to do it myself and I don't trust any stylists around here to do it. If I can find some kinky straight hair for a decent price I will do an install for November and December.
Next year I plan to wear my hair out more. This wig regimen is getting old and boring

Putting in some more box braids. Will keep them in until I go to Nassau
I'm tired of my hair and looking for something to do with it as well. I usually wear synthetic lfs during the off season but I want something that lasts a bit longer cause those things can only go for so long before they start looking a hot mess and no amount of hot water or flat ironing can save it.
I havent had braids since I was about 11 and not so sure what a sew in would cost me so idk what I wanna do, I really just need something to distract me from my own head

Really!?! Lol why take it out so soon
With today being wash day I think I had an epiphany and I am gonna try tweaking my regime.
It seems like I need to start incorporating a little heat if I am going to continue doing long stretches. Also I am re-evaluating products. I use joico k-pac and aubrey organics gpb for protein but when I use joico I can really feel a difference unlike the gpb. And I also think I should reduce my usage of coconut oil. I usually mix it with castor and grapeseed oils as a sealant and mix it in my dc but I think now I'm just gonna use it as a pre-poo.
