I am so totally excited about this hair challange, you ladies have excellent progress, and I know the pictures help, I haven't taken a picture since earlier this year, will take another in January for my starter pic. I figure every three months should do it or every 6 months.
Definitely encourage one another to achieve our goals. It is one step at a time I am rocking 2 tails on the side and going to be changing my regimen up a bit. Still do my weekly washes but saving my two step for ONLY pre relaxer treatments, using aphogee 2 minute, Motions CPR or nexxus emergencee in between for protein conditioners. I will continue to use my Silk Elements Mega Silk , Ion Extreme Moisture and nexxus humectress for moisture. My shampoos are still going to be Nexxus Therapee, Ion Clarifyer, Aphogee Shampoo for damaged hair (only when getting a treatment), Motions Neutralizer *when I get a relaxer, Motions Moisturizing shampoo. Relaxers will still be once every 4 months, Clarify once every 6 months, deep condition weekly, and color once every 4 months, semicolor once every 4 months in between those. I think it is pretty simple, LOL, for me that is!
Oh yes an a trim/cut every 4 months! Heat once a month pass when I use a flat Iron I will stretch that two weeks to get some time out of the style!

Count me in. I got my hair cut shoulder length with light layers. Hopefully I can get an inch a month. I will be using several growth aids and deep conditioning weekly. I'll probably use Indian powders twice a month.
Happy growing ladies!

I'm In! Thanks for starting the challenge!
I'm hoping to be APL by March 2010 (11 inches) then BSL by November 2010 (14 inches)
I have a mini update. My hair decided to grow a bit since October. I'm now 1.5 inches from APL as of 11.21.09 and on track for APL by March and BSL by November.

Regimen: My regimen varies according to my hair's needs. The only constant is that it (almost always, haha) involves low mani. It sometimes involves protective styling (updos/buns of various forms). Detangling is done once a week, lightly before showering and thoroughly while showering.
Products your using: I will be using Alter Ego products almost exclusively, ut will be trying out products from my "try" list along the way. I will also use ACV.
Starting Hair Length: My starting length is in my avi (taken about a month ago... this is week 16 of my stretch, so I haven't been taking many pics) - APL.
Goal Month: December. It took so long for me to reach APL from SL. I'm giving myself pleeeeenty of time for this.

I am a little saddend I know the whole agenda is to reach BSL in my case I have changed my goal to BSB - so that I don't have a moving mark each time, but I have about a quarter inch before I get there so I now have to change my goal to MBL by the end of 2010 and BSB by February 2010. I just don't want to up and leave a challenge before it officially starts, especially since I started it,

Count me in! I'm APL now but currently in the "Hide Your Hair Challenge." Over on Dec 15th, so I will post starting pics then!
I will also have a better feel on how long it will take me to reach BSL, once I do a length check at that time.
BSL....HERE WE COME!

Well I am glad not to be the only one. I guess we will graduate together to MBL.
Ladies if your really close you might want to join both so that you don't miss a deadline if they have one.

Count me in. I'm currently APL, and I have big plans for reaching BSL (and dare I say MBL?) next year. But I'm not going to put any specific date on it. Anytime in 2010 will do for me 
.
My reggie:
Wash/Comb/DC no more than once a week (sulfate-free cleansers/alternating between moisture and light protein)
Moisturize as needed
Low-manipulation styles
Relax every 6 months
Supplements: I take these for my overall health, but I'm sure they have good affects for my hair as well
Multivitamins
Iron supplements
Spirulina
Teas (I love them).
Products: Giovanni conditioners, Aubrey Organics conditioners, Ayurvedic powders, various oils.

Happyone, how tall are you? BSL seems very low on your body, at/near MBL, just like me. Lol.

Hi Twinkletoes17,
I'm only 5'2". I just tried to estimate brastrap on that pic lol. I'm going to see if my friend can take another picture of my hair. And, I will wear a white t-shirt. Maybe, I should have her draw the BSL line on the t-shirt? I didn't wanna post without any pics so..... that is how I ended up with that ghetto pic lol...
