MID-BACK/BSL GAMEPLAN

IM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING MID-BACK LENGTH BY NEXT SUMMER, SO THE SCHEDULED BC HAS BE BEEN PUT OFF UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.. AS I STATED YESTERDAY I HAVE ABOUT 4 MORE INCHES TO ACHIEVE MY NEW GOAL. SO THIS IS WHAT I WILL DO...

• CONTINUE TO CO-WASH THROUGH-OUT THE WINTER BUT LESS FREQUENTLY
• SPRITZ WITH MOISTURE MIX (ALOE VERA JUICE & ROSEMARY TEA) AND SEAL WITH COCONUT OIL
• FRENCH BRAID INTO 4 BRAIDS BEFORE BED
• DC 3 OR 4 DAYS PER WEEK
• AYURVEDIC TEA RINSE TWICE PER WEEK
• EGG PROTIEN TREATMENT AS NEEDED
• BUN FOR DAILY PROTECTIVE STYLING
• DETANGLE ONCE A WEEK (WITH JILBERE SHOWER COMB, AND THEN DENMAN)
• FLATIRON ONCE A MONTH (MAYBE, BECAUSE MY HAIR GETS ALONG JUST FINE WITH MY CHI IRON)

I MADE APL

THIS MAY BE UP FOR DEBATE WITH SOME PEOPLE BUT I DONT CARE IM CLAIMING MY NEW STATUS... IM APL!!! IT TOOK EXACTLY A YEAR BUT I MADE IT!!!! NEXT STOP IS BSL AND FROM THE LOOK OF THIS BRA ITS GOING TO TAKE A LOOOONNNGG TIME, WELL NOT REALLY, ITS ONLY 4 INCHES AWAY (YEAH I MEASURED!!)

EGGS FOR PROTIEN

IVE BEEN USING THIS FOR MY PROTIEN TREATMENTS ABOUT TWICE A MONTH... WHAT I DO IS BEAT 2 EGGS UNTIL FROTHY, ADD SOME AUSSIE MOIST, THEN SOME COCONUT OIL AND I LET IT SIT WITH A PLASTIC BAGGY FOR ABOUT 20 MINTUES (WITHOUT HEAT!!! THE EGG WILL COOK!!!!!) AND FOLLOW WITH A DEEP CONDITIONING WITH AUSSIE MOIST WITH SOME COCONUT OIL ADDED FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES UNDER THE DRYER (LONGER IF TIME PERMITS)... IT WORKS WONDERFUL AND FITS INTO MY TIGHT COLLEGE BUDGET...
