That's right! I am going to rock my wigs and half wigs as a protective style for the entire month of July. I find that sew-ins are cute but I am the type that likes to feel my hair and wash it and do all of my regular maintenance without having to go between braids and wefts lol
So I think this will be the plan:
At the beginning of each week I will wash my hair and deep condition. I will braid up my hair in plats that are just small enough that my growth aids can properly reach my scalp.
I will leave them in my hair and use a moisturizing spritz to moisturize and seal my hair without taking down the plats. If I find that my hair is holding up ok I will try to hold out on the wash and just wash every two weeks. (Scary lol)
Most importantly I will be listening to my hair and I will hopefully retain my length!
JULY IS MY WIG OUT MONTH!!

I MADE FULL SL!!!
I asked one of my fellow Listas if this was considered Full SL and they said YES!!
So my summer goal is to reach Grazing APL!
The picture on the RIGHT was Full NL and the picture on the LEFT is my current length of Full SL! :)

Texlax #2 & Other Updates
Hello All!!
I did my second texlax yesterday night and it was another huge success!!! I used ORS Relaxer in the Normal formula and mixed in Avocado Oil which replaced the 1/2 of the activator that I didn't use.
I have found that with me texlaxing my hair is growing in a lot faster so I may have to tweak the number of weeks I stretch from 13 to maybe 9 or 10 weeks.
I did see some growth! (Excited) So today is the only day I am wearing my hair down then it's back to buns, braid outs, and half wigs until my next relaxer. I am hoping by the end of the summer to be Full SL :)
PICS...
The Summer Hair Challenge is going well and thanks in large part to that challenge and my daily updates in my log, I am able to actually track my progress.
Also, I have incorporated exercising daily into my regimen. 15-30 minutes and on my "down days" I usually just go for a walk. If you have an iPhone or iPad download the "Nike Training Club" app. It's great and easy to use!
I still eat a fruit and one salad a day so I'm getting tons of good nutrition that will help my hair.
I am only using Hair Trigger Growth Elixir and Gro Aut Oil on my scalp and love how BOTH of them make my hair feel and have seen great results from consistent usage!
NOTE: I did not trim my ends this relaxer but plan to trim them during my next relaxer or in December.

Random Hair Update
My box braids are going well. Almost a week with them in and I'm not tempted to take them out lol
I have been oiling my scalp with Hair Trigger Growth Elixir and Gro Aut Oil once a day. I also spritz my hair twice a day with my mix which has water, a moisturizer, and oil (MAJOR PLUS!)
I need to figure out how to deal with itching though -_- I have tried my Lavender & Tea Tree Oil and I may need to just apply it twice a day instead of once but I'll see.
