Checkin' In On My Personal MBL Challenge

Time has passed and I did not reach my goal of BSL by Spring 2009 *sigh* (although, I am fairly close). I'm quite disappointed in my efforts to reach this goal - like c'mon already man..geez.

However, I am grateful and pleased with the overall results I've attained from the new routine I've developed. Below, there are a couple things I've added after my last Personal MBL Challenge Update.

Small Tweaks:

- As of Feb 7th to present, I started using JBCO on my scalp.
- As of late March to present, I started using a light protein - weekly.
- As of Jan 21st to present, I've been using coconut oil as a prepoo protection treatment on my previously relaxed hair before a relaxer.

Revisit Year 2 Goals:

- Hit FULL BSL by Spring 2009 (March-April) Fall 2009

- Reach MBL (Oct. '09) Spring 2010..lol

- Simplify my regimen & products even more

- Keep breakage to a minimum

- Baby my ends and Moisturize & Seal in Sections

- Increase thickness of ends

- Dust ends frequently

- Use low pH products (shampoos & DC's)

- Increase moisture level

New Goals:

• CONSISTENTLY Apply Jamaican Black Castor oil (not a fan of the regular Castor oil - sorry) to scalp 3x/week part of the Castor Oil Challenge Pt.2
  
• Increase/maintain thickness (hair & ends)
• Keep up with light protein weekly
• Incorporate more oils into regimen
• Co-wash 1x/week part of the Summer 2009 Co-wash Challenge
• Take Multi-Vitamins Daily & Fish Oils

I'm so fired up right now!!!!! LETS GO
