I won't start it but I will join! My hair does so much better when I stay active on the forum. I'm really going to stay focused and active next year in my challenges.

I'm trying again tonight. Last night I did three knots on each side and tonight I have two on each side, plus I used a little mouse and twisted them really well and wrapped them tightly around the base. I'll post pics in the morning.

This is my hair after my Raspberry rinse. I should've used heat to make the color more intense

The color is pretty. Not to over the top but nice subtle color.

Adverage hair grows 6 inches per year. Some will grow less, some will grow more. Sl-apl is less than 6 inches, apl-bsl is less than 6 inches. I think it make sense these hair goals are combined.
I'm on my way to bsl. Had I not taken proper care of my hair washing weekly, dc, m/s etc I be fighting to make apl.
My opinion, I think goals are realistic, just depends how ones hair grows, and maintaining length.

It was changed last year when we were deciding if it was a good idea to merge the two. It's not that confusing sis. A lot of us wanted to keep up with each other and stay in challenges together so we merged it. That way once you hit APL you move on to BSL within the same thread.

Done.
Im really excited about my blowout and trim next Saturday. Hopefully It doesn't cost too much. The wash, dc and blowout is $50. I'm not sure about the trim...

This is what I want my bantu knot out to produce. How can I make that happen on APL hair? I also posted pics from my hair yesterday. The first one of me is before I took a paddlebrush to my hair. I eventually just put it up in a spin pin bun. Last night I tried to do it using the headband method...fail. I might have to break out my caruso steam rollers.

I notice that their roots are straight. To achieve that look use fewer knots. Do about 4 big bamtu knots in a criss cross pattern so the parts won't show. Usually people do 4 sections in a t shape, but use an x instead

Ohh okay thanks for explaining! I didn't realize it was for the sake of following each other's journeys and staying connected. That makes sense.

I did four, but not in an X shape. I had two in the front and two in the back. I'll give the X shape a try next time.

My biotin, purple flexirods and Chi Keratin mist is here! I'm going to moisturize with the Chi spray and braid my hair. I will be wigging it for one more week. Sigh

I've been going full speed on this challenge! Oiling and massaging my hair everyday and nonstop protective styling Only thing I need to get better about is leaving my hair alone and styling my bun in different places but I've been concious of that too... Maybe I can get 1.5-2 inches by January?
