BSL 2010 Challenge

I don't wash until next week. I can't wait, been just wearing a wig and having my hair up under the wig cap at nights my satin bonnet. I really want it braided just funny that everyone forgot how to braid all of a sudden, and unless I know how a stylist braids I am not up for guessing, I am anticipating and getting my shirt ready for the BIG reveal of the Starter pics, lol. I will wait for the last day so that I can get the last growth strand and ready for this Challenge. :)
 
Still regimen searching. I'm currently moisturizing at night w/Lacio Lacio and sealing with shea butter (my new love). Putting in 4 braids & either wearing a braid out or bun. I'm going to try a DIY Dreamhair Keratin treatment in the next week or so. So hoping this will be the answer to riding out this transition and growing to BSL. I'm going to the shop this Friday for a flat iron and that will be probably be my official starting pic.
 
I've been peeking in and out of this thread for a couple of days and I decided to join the challenge. I'm excited about this journey to BSL!

Regimen: I'm also in the weave it up challenge so I'll be doing that for all of 2010.
HOT and Wash every 10 - 14 days while in the weave and DC atleast once a week

Products your using: V05 moisture milks, Silicon mix, HE LTR condish and leave in, NTM silk touch, Infusium 23 leave in, ORS carrot oil, EVCO and EVOO

Starting Hair Length: Somewhere between SL and APL...next length check is the end of this month after I relax

Goal Month: Dec 2010:yep:
ETA: OP are you going to add the names of all the challenge participants in the first post?

I'm about to get some braids in a couple of weeks. I am 40 wks post with no plans on relaxing anytime soon, so I just can't deal with my hair right now.

I will be sure to dc once a week and moisturize daily with a braid spray. I will post an update in 6-8 wks when I take them down.

Count me in!

Regimen: I wash and DC once a week. I moisturize + seal once or twice a week, depending on the weather and how my hair feels. Lately I have been air drying and flat ironing my hair, but as soon as I get a new hood dryer I'm going back to my roller sets. I clarify about once a month and I do a protein treatment every 8-10 weeks.

Products your using: What don't I use?!?!?! I'm just trying to clear out my stash. Between myself, my sister, and my mom... we have a lot!

Starting Hair Length: ETA: I'm gonna go ahead and claim APL!

Goal Month: I'm shooting for August because I trim pretty often.

Tonight I shampooed with Abba Moisture Scentscations. I did a Protein Reconstructor for a couple of minutes using Fantasia IC Super Reconstructor. And I followed that up with Fantasia IC Deep Penetrating Creme Moisturizer. I used Mario Russo Styling Creme as a Leave-In, Proclaim Olive Oil setting lotion, rollerset, and now I'm under the dryer. We shall see. :)

Products your using:
Mostly homemade & natural oils, White Rain, Suave or V05 for co-washes (whatever is on sale!) Coconut oil, EVOO, jojoba, honey, e/o's,

Starting Hair Length:
APL

Goal Month:
Dec 2010 for sure!
 
I'd like to join if you lovely ladies will have...:drunk::yep:

I am currently wearing a sew-in. So my regi will/has been to takedown every 2 months, during resting period I DC and Henna. While in the install, I plan to use a mixture of MT, JBCO and Bhingraj oil 3-4 nights per week/ I wash once a week.

I will also use Hello Hydration conditioner for co-washes, and Anita Grant shampoo bars for every other shampoo. Between installs I use a sulfate-shampoo or acv rinse, henna and AO Honeysuckle rose deep conditioner. I want to add Jessicurl WDT to my dc regi.

I started MT'ing 10/2 (No, I didn't take any pictures because I figured it wouldn't work for me). I saw over 2" of growth between 10/2-12/14.

If this growth rate continues I should reach BSL by March, if it slows to my normal growth rate (1/2 inch a little more in warm weather) then I think I should make it, at the latest, by July. :rolleyes:

I'm so excited ladies! HHG!


I'm sorry, I don't know how to post pics within a thread, so here's my fotki link

http://public.fotki.com/hKkATL/hair-...cs/121409.html
 
I'm not sure if I signed up for this challenge already, but here are my stats:

Regimen:

Plan to be Low-Man in 2010: Keep my natural hair braided up (for 4-6 wks at a time) while wearing WIGS as my protective style.

Winter (cold weather): Moisturize and Seal 1-2x dialy-- Baggie every night -- let hair Dry after Bagging--vitamin, water & scalp massage daily -- Steam every other day to combat winter dryness. Wash and deep con weekly.

Products your using:

I'm trying to USE UP my products - so the type or function is more important to me than the brand at this point:
  • Conditioners - for con washes
  • Shampoo - for clarifying
  • Deep Conditioners - for heated or stem treatments
  • Leave-ins - to moisturize
  • Oils & Butters - to Seal
Starting Hair Length:

I have not straighten my hair in years, but I "think" I'm at or very close to APL.

Goal Month:

My B-Day is in August so that would be a great, but I will instead aim for Christmas, 2010.

Pics for starting goal-

I don't have photos.
