Ok so since ill be über busy Christmas week and will be sewed up for NYE here is my final reveal ;-)
This is when I couldn't take my transition anymore January of this year my ends had totally broke and I was over hanging on to the permed ends 1-2012
The BC 2-2012 Yikes! This is after 13 months of transitioning
Hair blown out at BC throwing up the deuces
Hair blown out via tension method 12-22-2012
Stretched APL 12-22-12 hair in big fluffy curls
Front of my hair I was going for that Tracy Ellis Ross look lol I clarified, washed, dc'd, airdried my hair till it was slightly damp, I blow dried my hair via tension method on medium with heat protectant and I flat ironed my hair with 1 PASS on 15 my flat iron is a babybliss it goes to 25,and I Flexirod it about 8 flexis
Shrinkage it happens to the best of us ;-)
So that's my end of the year review I enjoyed this challenge alot I've been on this board for years and I have less than 1k posts I'm a straight onlooker on this board but this challenge helped me open up to get active and staying in touch helped keep me on point! Now on to full BSL by end of summer 2013 hoping to hit MBL by dec 2013 ;-)

I wasn't part of this challenge, but rather a lurker. I thought I would make it to APL, but it was a no-go. My ends were looking less than stellar so I asked my hubby for a tiny trim. He cut off 2in, and he was proud of his work! I know it needed to go, but I had a couple of APL strands, I almost shed a tear. I had to remind myself that I'm a big girl....

Hey ladies!
Got the hair flat ironed today and didn't get to take a pic until it started to fluff a little.
I'll be sure to post pics tomorrow after I take it down. It's currently wrapped.

Very nice NikkiQ! It's so full and thick. I agree, you're almost BSL!

Just the update I was waiting for! You'll be BSL by Spring easily!! Looking lush and lovely!
Hello Everyone!! I called regarding an appointment with my hairdresser. Does anyone say hairdresser anymore? I hope to see her tomorrow if she is not too busy. She left a fabulous closing salon, Mr. John's Hair Clinic in Detroit,Michigan. She has a lovely salon in her basement. When I was going to their company, my hair was the longest it has every been with treatments and a press and curl every week. If she is too busy tomorrow, I will approach a prior to New Year's Day length check. She only trims the ends and the parameters.
