@newnyer it came out really nice...great job for your first time!!!

I'm back in my bun... I called myself being cute and was wearing my hair down today, trying to enjoy my fresh touch up, well me and the hubby decided to go to kings dominion and had the windows rolled down the whole way...that plus 95 degree weather and going on the roller coasters had my hair a poofy knotted mess...as soon as I got home I put on Organix Shea butter on the length, some hairveda whipped ends on my ends and some Marrakesh oil on my ends to seal... Mnow it's wrapped, hopefully I didn't do any damage

@Mjon912 thanks!! I was happy with my results but had to wash out today. I should have just left the curls alone and put a bonnet on or something last night, but instead put in bantu knots in again on dry, already curly hair (I was worried I would sleep too hard & smash the curls). Anyway, took the knots out today and my hair was ssooo tangled & dry, but after dousing my hair w/ oil & conditioner I think crisis has been averted. Hey, lesson learned, right? Lol I still plan on doing this style more often...it was so easy!

Yes you are

Mjon912 · #**1346** 07-03-2012, 11:19 PM

@newnyer...welcome, I've tried knot outs a couple of times with the same problem...and when I sleep on them with out re twisting my hair looks awful, the side I slept on is all straight and the other side is half straight and half curly so when I retwist them at night I moisturize my hair and add some oil, hop in the shower with only a shower cap then right before I go to bed put my scarf on, and when I wake up first thing I do is take my scarf off to make sure there dry before I take them down...
@NinasLongAmbition your almost there!!! YAY For you =)... How long have you been trying to get to BSL?

Has anyone reached their goal yet?

Not yet @Skiggle! I've just graduated from the APL 2012 Challenge and hope to make BSL by end of year

I guess I'm gonna get kicked out after this but I will still come back in and root you ladies on!

@MzSwift that is some great growth! What protective styles do you use?

Congratulations @NinasLongAmbition!

I'm thinking about getting a full weave at the end of the month. I want an a-line style.

lamaria211 · #**1357** 07-05-2012, 12:50 PM

I had to trim about an inch off two weeks ago. Today I purchased a bottle of Ultra Nourish Hair Vitamins.

My regimen for the remainder of the year will be 1. applying castor oil to my scalp and seal with it when I'm wearing my 3/4 wigs.
2. Taking my vitamins daily
3. Drinking at least 3-4 bottles of water a day
4. 1 heat pass a month

I'm just going to keep it simple.

My hair grows about 1/2 an inch in 6-8 weeks. I'm not sure if the MSM and Biotin in my vitamins will help boost it to 1/2 an inch a month. Crossing fingers.

^^You can do it!!

@livinthevida

Thanks lady! I mainly cornrow and wig or rock mini braids. I want to try twists but I think I'm going to do extensions until the end of August instead.
