Last Push for BSL



I'm now on my last 7 weeks till I relax my hair and for my official length check. I washed my hair last week Monday and did an unofficial length check and my hair looks like I'm 1 inch away from BSL! Here's a few things I'm doing or taking to help me meet my goal.

  1. Drinking at least 80 oz of water
  2. Applying Jamaican Black Castor Oil Mixed with Peppermint Oil to scalp
  3. Washing my hair with Sulfate Free Shampoo
  4. Deep Conditioning Weekly (alternating Protein and Moisturizing)
  5. Moisturizing my hair with S-Curl or ORS Olive Oil Moisturizer
  6. Dusting my ends when needed
  7. Vitamins Taking Daily:
  • MSM - 1000mg (two times a day)
  • Nature's Bounty Fish Oil 1200 Mg Softgels (three times a day)
  • GNC Hair, Skin and Nails (two times a day)
  • *Alpha Lipoic Acid - 600mg (for my acne)

Relaxer Plan
I plan to relax on December 20th. I will be trying something different this time. I'v been relaxing my hair with Affirm for the past 3-4 years but this time i really want to try the Optimum Care Salon Collection Relaxer.

    I think your hair is a great length. To me length is nice, but styling is just as important. I think you have a great length to really do pretty styles with.

    I tried Optimum after being a Dark and Lovely girl. It's awesome! It made my hair feel really good. I had to keep touching it. The only thing is that it burned my scalp. Usually with D&L I can wash my hair the day before and I get no burns. It also comes with a packet to protect my ends and the mixture is in a bottle, not a package like D&L. I'm going to use it next time, but just now wash my hair the day before.

    Great progress! My goal length is bsl. I started taking fish oil capsules about a month ago. Do you see a difference now that you're taking them? I noticed that I have more energy now.
