MBL 2010

[exubah]

Wow, it feels like I haven't updated in like forever!!!

I'm still bunning up trying to get back to MBL by December. Loving my ends, but still have some shedding issues. I DC'd on Thursday night with AOGPB for a few hours then co-washed with YTC. Hair feels great.

I've been slacking with my JBCO but I'm determined to GET FOCUSED!!

I updated my Fotki with another picture. I think it grew a tad but that might be because it's wet. I dunno. I know my hair takes a break from growing in the summer so it might not have done anything. That's ok, I know it will. I'm more concerned about thickness anyway. I may not do another reveal till on or around December 14th. I graduate that day and I know I will be getting my hair 'fried, dyed and layed to the side' for graduation. No I'm not really dyeing my hair but it will be flat ironed and I might add some pieces in it for fullness. I have some hair from YEARS ago that I found and obvisiously forgot I had. Still in the pack too, in perfect condition. I might as well use it. I honestly don't know when I bought it or what for.

Still hangin in there. School got crazy so I did a lot of wet buns. But I think it frizzed up my ends. So I did a rollerset to hopefully smooth them out. I am almost 3 months post. I get a touchup next Saturday. Here's my set:

^^^^Lovely rollerset!!!

Beautiful rollerset, Butterfly!

 

[Spring]

Nice rollerset Butterfly and congrats Lane on your progress

 

[NikkiGirl]

I seriously need to stay off PurseForum. I am always missing new posts. Lane your hair is beautiful. Congrats on making MBL. Butterfly your rollerset is so pretty and thanks for the encouragement LafemmeNaturelle. It means a lot. You are so right, I am completely tired of buns. Keep growing ladies. Everyone's hair is looking so beautiful.

Go Lane! Congrats on making MBL your hair looks great.

And I love your rollerset set Butterfly.

I think I've made MBL! This is the longest my hair has been and I think I might make it to waist length. I wear by bra low, so I know that I've already made BSL. I just got a touch up last week and got a little cut. I like to try and keep my ends in good shape.

OMG! I am super excited for you! This is the longest you've ever been-this is great! Congrats! I can't wait til my turn...this inspires me!

I feeling kinda like I may not make it to the end of this challenge. I really wanna be MBL but I'm not seeing alot of progress over the last 2 months. But I will press on.

 

[your hair is your glory]

I agree with you on this, I don't think I will make it but I too will press on

I don't see any growth this month I got my half in July August looks scant

I understand-as I was feeling this way as well...Although I don't see a whole lot I certainly feel it.After I washed my hair this time I could barely get the comb through the roots to detangle-so it has to be more in the than I realized-I think come Dec1st we will be pleasantly surprised!

I just placed an order for a steamer and Im stupid excited. yaay I can't wait until it gets here. Whoo Whoo!

The past couple of days I've just been bunning but this is already getting old, I need a weave or some braids or something, I have killer HYH disease.

Yay! Good for you! I love my steamer and use it regularly. I did a wonderfully moisturizing dc today with my steamer and put my hair in a banded braid for the first time. My hair feels so, so soft! I love steamed dc treatments.

What DC do you usually use when you're steaming?

We still have four months. Hopefully we can get some good growth before December. I am still doing a length check in September, even if I don't make it. It will be my one year anniversary and I will post pics.

What DC do you usually use when you're steaming?

Well, ordinarily I use Queen Helene's cholesterol mixed with honey, molasses, evco, evoo and wheatgerm oil for moisture but honey, let me tell ya. Today I tried Bio Infusion Olive Oil DC straight out the jar and steamed. My hair feels SOOOO moisturized! I'll try it one more time before sealing the deal and making it a staple. Only drawback, I can't stop touching my hair. It feels so good. I'm already looking forward to my next steam DC.

 

[NikkiQ]

don't mind me. just looking around for more motivation. carry on

 

[NJoy]

Wore my hair in a banded ponytail for the first time yesterday. I'm anxious to see what it looks like when I take it out today....and then cowash. Ehn, who knows. I"m feeling a little lazy today. Maybe I'll just leave it until tonight. We'll see. But it sure feels soft.

What's everyone up to today, hairwise? How are you wearing your hair? We need more activity on this thread. Any hair porn to show off? Anything? *shakes the board* Good morning! Let's get at it already!

 

[JJamiah]

Morning NJ long time not speak too, LOL

I am wearing my same beehive corn row under my Delia wig. Just got my Gina and Mina Yesterday, and they are Gor to the geous.

I am in short mode right now though, I am dying to wear my Elise this weekend. I might just continue to wear Delia. I will see soon enough.

I sprayed my Braid spray on my scalp today.

 

[Black Hoya Chick]

rocking a wash 'n go. this is day 2 and it looks better than day 1! think i am done looking for products (at least the after cowash stuff). i still switch up the cowash conditioners

 

[NikkiGirl]

I did a braidout ponytail today. I like it a lot. It felt kind of free to not have the bun. LOL. But I still had the pony. It is way too hot to wear my hair down.

So I ended up going back to my default 2 pocahontas braids (I used to do 2 french braids but like the pocahontas braids now that they're thicker). I usually don't let the braids hang down. I bun them up, sort of Princess Laya style, while I putter around the house. Sometimes I will baggy both buns. Well tonight my 4 yr old decides to call me out. "Mommy, why do you put those things on your hair?" I said, you've seen mommy do that before. Then he says "But it looks crazy." erplexed Thanks AJ.

So now that my 4 yr old made me feel crazy, I'm wanting to french braid the hair down. But since I try to only fingercomb my hair, it tangles too much trying to braid it down. So what did I do? I pulled it all together in a high bun and put on a phonytail. I only usually like to do this when my hair is wet because, even though I can smooth the edges and outer hairs down with a scarf, the hair inside usually just get crunched because I'm not combing it (Does that make sense?) and I'm leaving town tomorrow and don't need crinkled hair. Um anyway, how'd I let this young man push me into changing my hair when I'm only running around the house? *sigh* I'm going to have to cowash my hair again tonight and maybe flat iron in the morning. Either that or just phonytail it this trip.

Just creepin around lookin for some hair porn.....

 

[soon2bsl]

Got a sew in over the weekend. This is my 3rd install this year using halley's curls creole wavy hair. I hope to keep it in for about 8 weeks, which would be the beginning of Oct. Would love to be grazing MBL when I take it down!

I'm doing the same thing!

Nothing much to report here. Today, I broke down and wore my little bob wig. I got mad compliments on it, but I still have to get used to it with my pieface.

Prior to the wig, I've been sporting wash n' gos every day.

 

[Kurlee]

lawd, 4 months left and I need two inches (keeping fingers crossed)
