ME, ME!!! I'm in. My first real challenge!! ME!!! YAY!!!
:bouncegre
LOL.
Okay, on to the business...
What is your goal date for BSL?
April 2012, so that for me & SO's anniversary in May, I can have a swangin' press and have his jaw on the ground
What brings you to this challenge/whats your length story? (ie. This will be your first time ever being BSL; You were BSL but had a setback, or BC’d or chopped it off for a style and want it back again; You were BSL back in the day and now trying to achieve it again, etc.)
I haven't had BSL hair in years. I was originally shooting for August of this year, and had almost made it, I was an inch away. But when I went to get a press for graduation, the stylist suggested I need a trim...and I walked out with shoulder length hair.
I vow to NEVER again go to a stylist I don't really know even if she IS natural.
Whats your current length?
Just grazing APL, which is pretty good considereing the setback I had in August. Funny how APL seems to be coming so quickly this time.
Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Transitioning?
Natural
Whats your reggie/What are you doing to make it to BSL? ( ie. Protective styling, low heat, stretching relaxers, vitamins, etc)
I am protective styling with sew-ins for 6 weeks at a time.
I wash bi weekly.
I deep condition before and after each install.
I do a protein treatment every 3 installs (or as needed).
I moisturize every 3 days.
I take a multivitamin, MSM, and a HSN supplement.
I use a sulfur/castor oil mix between installs (I don't use them during because it makes my cheap BSS weave greasy and not last too long.
)
What do you plan to do once you make BSL? (ie. treat
urself to a flat iron or blow out and swang it til u get whiplash, wear it out more, stay disciplined and focused on MBL and WL, etc)
I am going to get a press that will give me the fullest, lightest, bounciest, swanginest hair EVER!! And rub it in a few male coworkers face lol for calling me crazy, stun my SO for our anniversary, and then go back to protective styling until I hit MBL.
I will post a start pic later....I'm currently in an install.
