I'm still in this challenge, i just dont participate much yet cause i'm waiting for 2010 to roll around. By February i should be APL, then i can focus on BSL and i'll make my bed in this thread, lol.
 
Not trying to be a nag, but ladies if you can have those Starter pictures posted for January 2010, that would be great , I hope we can post June-July 2010 mid way pics, and December 2010 graduation pictures. LOL!

It doesn't matter what length it is now, let's post those starter pics in January, so that we can have some serious hair PORN!

I'll post my starter pics as soon as my LHCF Boot Camp is up.....sometime around Dec. 20th for me. Hope that's not too late:ohwell:
 
I joined the MBL in 2010 challenge, but my butt actually belongs in this thread lol :look: :blush:

2009 was the year i discovered ALL my staples and favorite methods, nursed my hair back to health, and finally learned how to style my hair... With the knowledge i have now, I am definitely hoping to see BSL in 2010!

starting length: just shy of APL
goal month: July 2010

Regimen:

Prepoo w/ coconut oil as needed
Wash and DC every 5-7 days
stick to my staples (silk elements, phyto, salerm)
coconut oil and/or lacio for daily styling.
 
No rush Ladies I am just saying if we could all do our pics on or before Jan 30, 2010 that would be great.

Must go get my drool cloth ready for January LOL!

Hey maybe a bucket instead of a cloth, lol! Goodnight ladies

Good Luck to all you ladies with your challenges.
 
alright, so it's a safe bet to say i need to drop out of BSL09 and join this one...all that trimming did me in. (at least my ends are cute)

soooo here is my starting picture:
102_0404-vi.jpg


i'll be ambitious and push for 6 months from now...april fools' day. (i won't even start to joke about the irony of that date)

current regimen: don't really have one for curly hair as far as a style, but moisture-wise i cowash every 3-4 days and leave some conditioner in. i think a full sew-in would be more cost-efficient (and less damaging) than getting a dominican blowout every 3 weeks, but until i get both the hair and a stylist i am going to wear my hair straight, or at least stretched with a blow dryer a la PinkSkates. my ends like to fight with each other :giggle: thus hindering my retention. to ward off any heat damage, i will be DCing with a light protein added to my moisturizing conditioners (more than likely aphogee 2 min + gvp conditioning balm) every 2 weeks.
update...

the last picture was taken at the end of september...this one is from 11/23. i got another trim.

102_0625.JPG


the current plan is to get a DB, wear it straight the first 3 weeks of the month (no specific style -- i rotate b/w pin curls, french braids, buns and braidouts), wash/DC and wear it in twists or a twistout for a week or two, then repeat. now that my prayers have been answered and i found a girl who trims the perfect amount without me having to guide her through it, i will get dustings with every other DB. as stated in my first post, i will do this until i get bored and either weave or braid my hair up. i moisturize my straightened hair daily with coconut and olive oil. when curly, i now wash once a week instead of twice in an attempt to have less manipulation. i have found that HE hello hydration is excellent on my dry hair and cantu shea butter is great for my wet/damp hair.

that's all, folks. i will try to update once more before new year's, then i will update in march.
 
Holding my spot in line. Im in this challenge, just waiting for the APL by DEC 09 to end. I also have changed some products I have use. I will submit a pic, regiment and be a full participant once the other challenge Im in ends.

Im want to be in this challenge, don't boot me out.
 
I'm in. My ends are a hot mess with some falling between apl and bsl; so count me in for the healthy BSL affair!
if we could all do our pics on or before Jan 30, 2010 that would be great.

Oh, okay. I'll put this in my Outlook! Thanks.

You know we do, :lick::lick:


No SURE right now, but my head is trying to convince me to Stretch my relaxer out double, I usually do it every 4 months but I am considering to stretch just this time to 8 months. We will see when Feb Comes how I feel LOL!
 
Count me in. I'm currently APL. I don't exactly have a regimen because I am undecided as to whether I am transitioning or stretching. I go back and forth weekly. I am currently 21 weeks post (last relaxer 7/13/09). At the bare minimum, I am holding out to at least 26 weeks to relax or I am contemplating BKT to assist in the transition. Attached is my most recent picture taken last Friday.

I am waiting for UPS to deliver my Thermasmooth order. I'm probably going to try it this weekend, along with my new Maxiglide XP and see if this can assist me in the transition. This NG is kicking my butt!:wallbash:

Oh..my goal is to hit BSL by June 2010.

I havent used their relaxer in years, I had underprocessing issues. That may be that I wasnt relaxing correctly then, I was thinking of trying their naturals relaxer, but Im quite happy with ORS and hesitant about switching, lol

I've been into the hair game for like 3.5 years, going through my relaxed and natural stages of haircare complete with setbacks and 2 BC's.

My hair is finally ready for BSL, and in 2010, it will happen! I *hope* by the end of the summer.
