Good luck to you gals that have signed up so far!

 

[JJamiah]

I have added you ladies who want to join. Remember 2010 can be January 1, 2010. My goal is August because I know I love the scissors. LOL! I do I do.

 

[Lovestyr]

Hi ladies!!!!!!!!

Count me in!!! My hair is currently in twists and I just got them 2 wks ago.I should be Bsl in decemeber...but we will see!!!

I primarily keep my hair up I only wear it down twice a year.I keep my hair twisted up or in a sew in or under a wig...I have discovered low manipulation is the key to longer hair....It took a a while to figure that one out

So lets get this challenge on the way..I AM in it for the long haul.

I will be getting a dominican blowout in October so I will post a more up to date pic then. I just got an relaxer to weeks ago after a 21 weeks stretch..YAY ME!!!! It was tough but I managed.

 

[JJamiah]

Great job with the stretch.

Ladies if you want to join please just post here, it is harder for me to have to go from my email to this post to get your name. Thanks! I am anxious for 2010 to begin this love affair of BSL. LOL

 

[MagnoliaBelle]

Please add me to this challenge!

Regimen: I don't have any set regimen during the week. I usually do updos or buns everyday. This week I'm trying co-washing and going all week (inspired by Silvergirl).

I don't plan on flat-ironing until January.

However, every weekend I do an egg pre-co-wash and DC.

Products your using: LongTermRelationship and Fructis Conditioners, Say Yes to Carrots Mask

Starting Hair Length: I have layers, but I think that the longest layer is about a couple of inches from APL. Sorry, it's hard to tell while curly...

Goal Month: June 2010 = BSL!!!

Pics if possible!: See my album which I'm updating monthly

 

[Nelli04]

I'm in!

Regimen:
Don't have a fill set one yet, but I plan to wash my hair twice a week, except for the 3 week stretch I am going to make after I get a press. I plan to also use products that will keep it moisturized and whatnot while not manipulating it too much.

I also plan to get my hair pressed every 2 months instead of every 6 weeks.
I will baggy every week and a half.

Products your using:

VO5 moisture Milk shampoo/conditioner
Aveda Damage remedy shampoo
Organics coconut milk condition
Organics coconut milk anti-breakage serum
Garnier Fructis fortifying condtitioner
Ojon restorative hair treatment

that's all for now...I will also be using different oils once I get it all figured out.

Starting Hair Length: currently APL but may be slightly above APL after my trim in 2 weeks.

Goal Month: April 2010 (which is reasonable since there's only like 4 inches difference between APL and BSL for me,lol)

 

[joyandfaith]

Please count me in this challenge. I'm currently in the BSL 2009 challenge and I was hoping to reach that by December of 09, but I honestly don't think I'll make full BSL by December. My full BSL goal is now April 2010.

My siggy is from Dec. 28, 2008. My hair is about 3 inches longer than that now.

 

[Thann]

Im back with details

Regimen: Not too sure just yet. I'm trying to keep things very basics and will update as I go. For right now;
*DC 1x weekly, airdry, lightly flat iron ends, wear hair in a pony bun all week.
*Clarify 1x monthly/ Relax every 12+ weeks/ Protective Style with weaves sometimes.

Products your using: Joico K-Pak and Moisture Recovery Lines, Affirm Relaxer System, Hair One Conditioner, Fantasia IC Serum and Gel, Sedu Heat Protectant

Starting Hair Length: SL

Goal Month: December 1, 2010 (changing my goal b/c at 5'8 I dont think June was realistic afterall.)
