You didn't miss your APL goal by much. You should be there soon.
 
This week has been good.
I got a curlformer set and I wore it for 4 days w/o combing, just fluffed daily.
I also DCed 2 times this week it was nice.
I have been moisturizing and sealing 2x/day too. IM SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!!!
 
I just straightened my hair today. I'm so amped; I'm definitely gonna make BSL by May. At first I was thinking I'd make it by the end of summer 2010, but I can definitely shave off a few months and set my goal for May 2010.
 
I'm In!!!! :wave:

Regimen: True K.I.S.S! (Low Manipulation/High Moisture)

Low Manipulation
  • Washing and DC'ing my hair every two weeks and using Seabreeze to clean my scalp in between washes when neccessary
  • Wearing loose "edge friendly" cornrows and braids under my gorgeous half wig.
  • Using heat no more than once every 4-6 weeks (cause i have to blow dry it in order to get it cornrowed)
Lots of Moisture! :lick:
  • Apply Homemade water based spritz and black castor oil every day
  • Apply MN mix and/or Sulphur 8 to my edges every other day
  • Baggying 3-5 times a week
  • Steaming (using the towel method) during every wash
Products your using:
Qhemets Line: Karakady Tea Mist, AOHC, Burdock Root, Detangling Ghee
MN mix/Sulphur 8
JBCO
Aussie Deeeeep Conditioner
Keracare Conditioner (just bought but looking forward to it)
Garlic Shampoo (just bought and can't wait to use this either)

Starting Hair Length: Not sure :look:
I was about 2.5 inches from APL back in September and I haven't had a proper blowout since then to see where I'm at. I'm guessing I'm APL or grazing it. Am on a personal no heat challenge till January 15th so I'll get pics taken at the salon on the 16th when I have my appt.

Goal Month: October 1st, 2010.
My growth rate last time I checked is exactly 0.5 inches a month so that would mean a good 5+ inches between now and then.

Pics for starting goal- :gorgeous:coming Jan 15th/16
 
starting pic is in siggy...
I braided my hair on Sunday, it's in individual braids. They aren't skinny and I didn't want them to be because I'm going to have to redo them myself and that's just too time consuming...
Today I co washed with VO5 champagne kiss conditioner, sealed with shea butter and massaged my scalp with Hairveda cocasta shikakai hair oil...I know it's really early but i'm so excited for next year :D
 
Im gonna join this challenge... Im 1.5 inch shy of apl.. and my goal is BSL by Dec 2010.. very last minute i know but its still 2010 :)
 
am i in this? lol. if not, now i am..i'll keep you all posted. my longest layer is just about BSB but i wear m bra low, so i still need 2 more inches lol
 
^I dont think it matters where you wear your bra, according to the charts, BSL is in line with your nipples so if your hair is there, you can claim it.
 
so far im doing good. i've been doing Super low mani, and PS 24/7. im too lazy and too cold to do anything to my hair. I'm 11wks post.

Your not the only one too cold and too lazy, lol add me to that list. I washed my hair today due to laziness. I am under the dryer, huh, a few more hours to go! I think I need to go back to every week, every other week isn't good for me. :nono: I have tried for 2 weeks for 4 weeks but I need to just lump it and do every week.

I can't swang it, will go back to weekly. I am going to take my pics before January 30, I want my starter pictures in, plus I haven't updated my Fotki since may of 2009. I AM LONG OVER due!!!!

Relaxer due: February 6, 2010
Wash/Condition: Once weekly Wash, Deep Condition, Protein and Moisture
Style: Low maintence at the moment rocking wigs and lace fronts - Protective styling from the harsh winter weather
Styling Products: Either Chi SIlk INfusion/Argan Moroccan Oil or Herstyler Serum

I've been keeping my hair in a single braid or bun out of laziness as well lol. I try to moisturize daily; yesterday I moisturized 3 times, yay! Lol. I left early in the morning yesterday (5:30am), so I felt 3 times was necessary. I'll try cowashing everyday, hopefully I don't run into too many tangles now that I'm transitioning.

My issue is what about people with droopy nipples (eh hem) I have low nipples, LOL! LOL they are huge (just my nipples) and low, my sister has HUGe BONGAS and her breast themselves are low, so what about this case, Curious?

I think the BSB is a little more defined , Breast are weird they can be lots of shapes and lengths, while shoulder blades are more you know.....:rolleyes:
 
^Yeah i see your point, I agree BSB is probaly the most accurate but i think if you're going to go by your bra strap, your nipples might be a better marker cause your bra strap changes with every bra and some people like you said, wear their bra strap low. BSB it is!

Why was I just thinking this LOL.
I dont have big boobs myself but I was wondering what if the person nipples were low. Im sorry but we all werent given a size A cup like that chart shows.
So basically I guess BSB is good too!
 
I'm gonna have to drop out. I missed my goal of APL by Dec 09 so there is no way I am making BSL in one year.

Hey! I'm in the same boat as you.:yep: I missed APL by DEC, too....but I'm still gonna shot for BSL by DEC. 2010! Don't drop out....we still have a full 365days to go. Who knows what can happen in that timeframe...

I'll be protective styling and I've added some hair growth vitamins too. We'll make it!...you'll see :clap:
 
I'd like to join this challenge. My regimen is simple: Once a week- wash (Sauve Humectant shampoo), deep condition with heat (Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask), detangle (Paul Mitchell The Detangler + Denman brush), and braid (two individual plaits) or banded ponytail with some oil (olive or coconut) on the ends.

Please don't drop out of the challenge. :nono: You can totally make both goals by the end of 2010, and you'll have us here supporting you every step of the way. We can totally do this thing! :yep:
 
I wanna join this y'all!

Last month I cut my almost MBL hair back to APL becase somehow it became so uneven on one side!!

Now that it's cut, maybe it'll look better than it did before.
