JBCO Challenge Recap

Where do I start? 

The challenge was from March 18 - June 18th that was hosted on Hairlista.com. It was a great challenge to participate in and I enjoyed it. I decided to use the oil as a prepoo, to oil my scalp as well as adding some to my deep conditioners. I can admit there were some days that I would forget to apply this oil but when I remember trust me it was being done. I did prepoo with the oil for the entire challenge except in June, started to get lazy with it. But prepooing with the oil and applying it to my scalp is what I mainly did. When I would pre poo I would heat up the oil and apply it to my scalp only leaving it in for 15 to 30 minutes only. As for using the oil on my scalp I did apply it starting from three times a week to everyday. I can admit there were times I would forget but it wasn't often. As for adding it to my deep conditioners that was only done once I didn't bother doing that.

My results I can't really complain about it. To me my before and after look exactly the same. For some reason my before picture makes my hair look as if it were thicker but that wasn't the case. I had just took off my weave and was dealing with thin hair which is the reason why I decided to join the challenge, beside the growth. I feel that my hair now is more thicker then before especially towards my roots. I feel that the oil helped my hair grow because of how my roots were acting. I say that because I felt my roots were more curlier then my hair and they also were very thick. I describe it as when someone is dealing with "new growth" hopefully that makes sense, I have a post on it. I also feel that my hair wasn't able to retain the length is could had received because I was dealing with a lot of breakage, which I also wrote about. But anyway I enjoyed the challenge and wouldn't mind going on another. I might even do my own personal one for the summer eh who knows.

    1. You should try a personal one that last till the end of the summer. Just be consistent and you would get great results

Umm, Hey ?!

I  have not written a post in over a few months now & I feel a little okay about it. I just was not in the mood to really write about hair. It just started to become repetitive & a little boring to me. Don't get me wrong I still plan on documenting my hair journey & I still enjoy everything hair related. It was just a moment for me that I was kind of over it. I have been enjoying my hair length & been using heat a little too much, but that's okay. I mean isn't that the point of reaching your goal length, to enjoy it in whatever way you want? Well I definitely did & now it's time to get back to my normal hair routine. I still have a long term goal I want to achieve. So let's see where I go from here. This is my small space on the internet & I don't plan on abandoning it any time soon.

Hair Length Check In

I can not believe how far my hair has come. My hair has been in a protective for half the year, which was a sew-in. I did not have a sew in for the summer I gave my hair a break. I am currently debating if I should get another sew in for the colder months that is coming but I am not sure. My hair feels fuller & thicker. I was even asked if I had a weave in lol. Here is my current length. Am I Mid-Back length ? This picture was taken in Oct/13  Here is my current length as of Oct/14

Giving Weave A Try | Update

I have been thinking about changing my hair a lot recently from the color to deciding if I want to relax it. I just been bored with my hair and I have been trying to do as many natural styles but its either I can't do it, doesn't come out right or it doesn't look right on me. I don't want to manipulate my hair anymore. I'm done with experimenting with color on my own hair and I don't want to continue putting heat on my hair just to cause damage. Soooooo I been thinking about trying out weave? I been looking into it for awhile but now I'm doing my research on it. I don't see any harm in getting weaves what so ever. I can color it and put heat on it I can also pick different textures. Only thing that's holding me back is that awkward feeling of people knowing your actual length and then the next day your hair is down your back lol. But I can get over it I think. This would be a great protective style and I'm hoping it can last for at least 3 months...
