APL 2012 Challenge

[Meritamen]

I don't know why I keep attempting to stretch wash days to once a month. I only made it to a week which is regular to me. Can't stand having a dirty scalp. Anyway, I just bought a few wigs from blackhairspray.com and hope to receive them by mid-week. Will be wearing wigs till the end of the year and following my weekly routine.

^^^^Glad we were able to talk you off the texturizer ledge lady. Your hair looks great! What did you use to slick down the front??

Sent by me from my Android phone.Boom

After undoing my twists I sprayed my edges and nape with water, added a little more of the Curling Cream and then added Olive Oil Eco Styler gel.

Have you tried stretching your wash days to once every 2 weeks? That may be easier

Mjon912 you have that technique set right! It all sounds really good with all of the natural ingredients added to your reggie

Our very own jprayze started the Miconazole Nitrate (MN) Challenge (May 1 - July 31, 2012) and started a new thread - Let's talk about MN to gather feedback from other users of MN. It's in this thread BadMamaJama recommended chavascandy's videos on YouTube. chavascandy mixed her MN with Kids Organics Gro Strong Growth Stimulating Therapy. I viewed these 2 videos for a quick recap of her MN reggie:

Sometimes I do mange to go for two weeks in-between washes but that's more from laziness and just skipping a wash then anything else.

 

[The Princess]

I'm going to self relax. However going to try JFM S&B texture softner- to texlax. Will see how that go.

 

[skraprchik]

skraprchik how many curlformers did you use for the setting?

I originally bought the kit with 40 extra-long and wide curlformers, but that definitely was not enough. I got 24 more, so 64 in total. It came out much better the second time. I'll try to take pictures.

Did a WGO/EVOO pre-poo yesterday Friday overnight, then washed with Argan Oil Shampoo, Protein Mask + Egg White treatment, Tea Rinse, followed up with a DC of Argan Oil Con/Honey/Molasses/Egg Yolk. ACV rinse to finish.

After leaving to dry 50% I smoothed AVG down my hair... that stuff just disappears, it's amazing! Applied more AVG with Cantu Leave-in Con, then sealed very lightly with EVOO/Shea butter.

90% sure my hair really likes this routine - it feels clean, strong, smooth, soft, moisturized... and tight! Think I'm going to have this as my regular 1x week wash day, but alternate between protein and keratin each week.

Lady's I need some advice. None hair advice. my bestfriend stopped talking to be because she is mad that one Friday I left our group of about 15 friends to go hang out with my boyfriend .... I get to see him Maybe 3 times a month and She knows this. Now she's ignoring my texts and calls .... And When we are in the same class she's acts like everyone else is he bestfriend, making plans she knows I would love to do right in front of my face. And when I confronted her about it before I knew the issue she told me to think about it... Am I wrong?? What should I do?

If she is your best friend and knows that you don't get to see your boyfriend often,then she should understand. Is she single? Did you give the group the heads up that you would be leaving or did you just up and leave?

Yes she's single and yes the whole group knew and was fine with it. She's the only one acting like this

I may be wrong, but she sounds a bit jealous to me and she's trying to exclude you from things to make you jealous. I would try to talk to her one more time and if that doesn't work, the just continue on with the rest of your school year. Isn't this your senior year? She should be trying to enjoy the little time you guys have left together in school instead of starting this petty drama.

You have to just ignore her and anybody else who wants to play her stupid games. Seriously, I'm so glad that sort of s*** is behind me but my 16 year old has been through it recently. Sounds like your friend is doing a top job of making an arseh*** out of herself - just leave her to get on with it and focus on yourself... and your hair. Got all the friends you need here - school's for learning.

@ManiiSweetheart definitely see if you can get some one on one time with her if you can go to her house rather text/call via phone. Sometimes it is best to air it all out in person there maybe something she wants to say and is avoiding to do so. Maybe her feelings are hurt too and she's not sure how to tell you.

If she's your bestie she should be willing to work it out. No worries go see her and hear what she has to say. Then you will know what to do next.

I hope it works out for you 2

I agree with NikkyQ
Honestly almost all my single friends have issues with my time and attention they say I dont have enough for them but im married with 3 kids so theyre probably right. I try not to let it bother me, my hubby is my true bestie anyway

AlwaysNatural what's a "custom fit bob wig with bangs"?

 

[livinthevida]

Just stoping in to say thanks again to you ladies. I'm really starting to love my natural hair now & can't believe I thought about slapping that texture softner in it. I just bought Cantu Shea Butter Natural Hair Coconut Curling Cream and I love it. It smells great and has a nice thick, creamy texture to it. I did a twist-out with it on freshly co-washed hair with a little bit of HE LTR Leave-In. I pulled my hair up into a puff and wore it out today.

Looking good KaramelKutie803!

Yall to cute.

Yeah my last two relaxers were Texlax. I don't want to pay money to someone to leave a relaxer in my hair for a few mins, when I could do it myself. I used to relax my hair back in the day. Just being lazy. Since I will Moving soon I don't want to trust no one with my hair, so I will be doing my hair myself until further notice. I only go to my previous hairdresser for relaxers anyway.

I heard alot of good reviews od the JFM.

I will see.

Sounds like jealousy to me. I would let her have her space. I am not one to run after anyone.

 

[MrsJaiDiva]

I was really doubtful, but I think I really might make APL by my birthday!! I had my Hubby check my length, and I'm a lot closer than I thought I was. That trim was just what my hair needed!

Since I didn't know what to use for my bantus, I put a little moisturizer, a teeny bit of Lottabody, and a little coconut oil. Disaster! It looked terrible. I salvaged it by making a curly ponytail. I guess I'll just have to learn by trial and error.
