BSL 2012 Challenge!!! - Page 58

newnyer · #**1141** 05-31-2012, 10:31 AM

Hey ladies! Okay, okay I must admit I have been kind of avoiding this thread because I don't feel worthy yet. Lol. But since I'm APL I guess it's time to move on to the next level.

I have been neglecting my hair the last few weeks...but that'll change starting tonight w/ a scalp massage w/ my bee mine mixture & cowash. Need to buy some more Alter Ego to DC & steam this weekend. I may stock up since I'm not sure if I'll be able to get my hands on any for awhile. For anyone using it, have you found it to be cheap online?

Since I haven't posted pics in here since my intro (oops!) I'll get on it this weekend. I think I'm about 3 inches from BSL...but we'll see soon.

Hey, everybody I'm closing in on APL, so now I want to be more active over here! Hoping I hit APL by 6/30...in the meantime, I'm bunning, using my MN, and trying to be patient!

coolsista-paris · #**1147** 05-31-2012, 12:49 PM

what do you girls think of i dc twice?
like tonight pre poo with condit and oil.
tomorrow shampoo and protein treatment .then dc again? (then style )

shortdub78 · #**1148** 05-31-2012, 01:16 PM

i won't be claiming APL officially (creating a thread) until i am closing in on BSB. that's why i like length challenges. they are more encouraging.

Don't be. Some of us were barely APL when we started the BSL challenge. I was hanging on the edge of CBL when I joined the BSL club

. I will say, doing so has helped me push to achieve the milestone and helped me to stay on top of things. Shoot for the moon...

thanks à lot for the encouragement.
my hair is fine and can break easily .i try my best to get everything right. right balance...low manipulation but its like im going nowhere. i remember imagining bsl on me by december and felt soooo excited. but ive past 5months and feel like failure is going on. i even felt like relaxing again. so confused :-(

Hey ladies haven't checked in for a while, but I switched up my reggie a bit. I have been co-washing more frequently and stoped wearing wigs. I've benen bunning in my 2-strand twist. Will do my 2nd LC sometime in July when I get home.

Hey ladies

! I haven't posted since our April update. I am straightening my hair for my 2 year health hair journey. Its been 2 years since I've decided that I will transition out of my heat trained natural hair. I've had some ups and some downs, but overall I think my hair is a lot healthier

. After I'm done straightening my hair, I will post pics

.

Charla · #**1153** 06-02-2012, 11:20 AM

Right now I have my hair stretched ala @MzSwift I'm thinking about following it up with this style http://youtu.be/wenUfAqvCpU but with 2-strand twists in the front. I even found that large Goody flex barrette she uses at the grocery store for $3 and change. ETA.... I decided to try this style instead http://youtu.be/apD9CXAE-Lw I'm going to do my 2-strand twists in front, divide evenly in back and do Celies instead of the twists like she did. I'll post a pic when I'm finished...even if it turns out awful!

Hey @bride91501

Been missing you on here! Looking forward to seeing your 2-yr anniversary pics!

MzSwift · #**1154** 06-02-2012, 12:19 PM

Stay encouraged ladies!

We're halfway through the year and that means we have 6 more months to reassess our regimens and get growing!

Not to mention, for many ladies, the summer will mean a super growth spurt

Yes, 6 more months meaning for me retaining all three inches from here until December. We can do it!

Still in my twists in a bun and baggying while I am at home.

I'm looking forward to my summer hair growth.

ImanAdero · #**1157** 06-02-2012, 02:31 PM

I think I'm going to do a perm/flexirod set for tomorrow. I'm kinda excited about it!

Gonna wash and deep condition... Then stay my butt home all night haha.

Gonna wash with Elasta's moisturizing shampoo, then the ApHogee 2 minute reconstructor an I think I'll add honey to it. Finish that off with a cheapie conditioner.

Since I'm trying to use up products, I have to figure out what I'm gonna set my hair with lol.

But this is the plan. If it looks good, I'll share pictures haha

Well, so far so FAIL! Celies aren't quite working out for this style. The parts are too prominent and the plaits too stiff. Oh, well, at least it's stretched! Maybe I will be doing my wigs for the next week after all because I AM NOT taking these Celies down!

MzSwift · #**1159** 06-02-2012, 06:30 PM

LoL! There you go, girl. I totally understand that.

ManiiSweetheart · #**1160** 06-02-2012, 07:41 PM

Today I ...
Cleansed with Miss Jessies Creme
ACV rinse
DC
Cold rinse
Applied MN to scalp
Then MTG mix on top
And sprayed the length of my hair with diluted leave in conditioner
And twisted
