I should be able to participate with no problem because I have just started doing the following:
Here are my answers:
- Relaxing every 4 months instead of 3
- Color touch ups every 4 months instead of 3 or 2
- Wearing buns 6 days a week
- Reducing rollersets to once a month, then pinning up the curls instead of leaving them down
- Flat ironing and blow drying once every 1 - 2 months only
1. What is your purpose for joining this challenge?
To make it to full BSL, then MBL by Dec 09
2. What is your current hair lenght?
BSL when wet, 1/2 inch from BSL when dry
3. Are you Natural or Relaxed?
Relaxed and bleached highlights
4. What are your hair goals for 2009?
5. What is your hair reggie?
- Continue to maintain healthy double processed hair,
- wear buns a minimum of 5 days a week,
- find attractive protective styles and experiment,
- learn how to flat iron for a sleek style every 2 months or so,
- reach BSL by May and MBL by December
- use up the products I have and stop stockpiling!
LET'S DO THIS LADIES!!!
- Relaxer and color touch ups every 4 months (stretching)
- Cowash 2 - 3 x a year in winter, almost every day in summer, and when I am 9+ weeks post
- Rollerset every 3 - 4 weeks
- Flat iron once/month (just started)
- Bun 6 days a week
- Leave in full strength conditioners, keeping my hair moisturized constantly.
I wish I could bun that many days every week. Lawd, I get so bored with it that I have to switch. But clearly the results outweigh the boredom, so I'm gonna have to step up my game for real!

I am in! I am a newbie and have been lurking for far too long.
I will post pics to update my account but to answer the joining questions:
1. What is your purpose for joining this challenge? I would really like to better understand the things that work and don't work for my hair. This a whole new world for me, so I am really excited about learning new things!
2. What is your current hair length? I am weaved up right now, but I would have to say tops of the shoulder? I'm still learning the different terms.
3. Are you Natural or Relaxed? Transitioning since 09/07 although I never knew about this place and the top part of my head was relaxed about 2-3months ago..i know..i know...
4. What are your hair goals for 2009? I would like to continue a healthy transition and slowly loose the relaxed ends. Would be nice to reach mid back but that might be too adventurous.
5. What is your hair reggie? Still figuring it out but so far
-pre-poo & dc(w/heat) once a week
-co-wash mid week
-moisturizer hair and seal each time
-protein treatments once a month
Looking forward to getting to know everyone better! PZ

1. What is your purpose for joining this challenge?
It is high time for me to start taking care of my hair. I want to master the art of rollersetting and use protective styles during the week.
2. What is your current hair lenght? Not entirely sure. Right now, it is natural and barely shoulder length. I will update with current length when I relax Dec 20.
3. Are you Natural or Relaxed?
Natural, but I will be relaxed for 2009
4. What are your hair goals for 2009?
No breakage, no split ends, moisturized hair, BSL 2009!!!!!
5. What is your hair reggie?
I don't really have one yet, but after I relax, I am thinking of co-washing 1x per week and rollersetting.. OR using a heat protectant to blow dry then flat iron. Rinsing with ACV when my hair needs a cleanse.. probably only 1x a month.
