That is some great retention. And your hair looks so full!! Very healthy looking and pretty. :)
 
Okay I have been neglecting this thread just as badly as I've neglected my hair! :( But I'm back on it- I promise! I'll be a little late w/ this update...I'm currently in cornrows and I don't plan on taking these out until next week if I can keep them maintained. Wasn't too crazy about the style but hey, it keeps my hands out of my hair for a bit so not complaining.
The last time I checked I may be BSB (crosses fingers), so hopefully even after my touch up next month and a nice trim I'll still be there or a LITTLE over...hope, hope, hope.
 
:hiya: Good Morning Ladies!!!! :sunshine:

:yay: :yay: :yay:
Today is length check day for ALL BSL 2012 Challengers!

​
I bet there are amazing pictures to look through this week and over the next few days as we Length Check today! BUT FIRST as shared over in the APL 2012 Challenge! my heart and prayers go out to everyone impacted by Hurricane Issac this week! I have family in 2 of the States impacted and hope your loved ones are safe ;)

I return this evening for update pictures shared over with our APLer's too!
 
I'm probably going to have to skip this length check unless I can find a good way to do the pull test and take a picture at the same time. Even though I want to straighten so bad, Southern Illinois (SO ILL!) is getting some severe thunderstorms today which is coming off of Hurricane Issac. So there really is no point in me flat ironing.

ETA: Update

Took me a good minute, but I got a good pull test shot. My hair is growing back nicely since I had some of my bottom layers trimmed up. My hair is really almost one length all the way around. Even the bang area. I also cut off about another inch a few days ago. I probably wont make BSL, but BSB is definitely in reach. But once I do reach BSL the great thing about that, it looks like I would only have about 2-3" to waist. I guess I dont have a MBL. LOL.

Also sorry for the back fat. I'm working on it.

thank you for the compliment . i wish i could wear it down more, and straithten à bit more BUT fine hair means danger with heat and too much manipulation ...
 
:yay: BSL Length Check Day TODAY!!!!! :yay:

Ladies here are my length check pictures! My curls are GREAT first thing in the morning after a quick rinse, mesh rollers, and hair dryer set. By the end of day all the curls are much looser but still very soft. These were just taken a few minutes ago! I am still keeping with my A.M. reggie weekdays and my weekend reggie of 2 two-strand twists! :yep:

1. first photo is my roller set hair after work :drunk:
2. second photo is roller set hair with less FLASH!
3. third photo is roller set hair showing there's just a few inches to go before my hair naturally falls at APL. Hoping when I reach Waist Length (WL)! my roller set hair will rest at APL, BSL, or better yet MBL! :rocker:

I'm searching earlier pictures to compare recent roller sets. Plus I'll have to return this weekend to compare wet hair pictures too :wink2:

Thank U coolsista-paris! Roller setting is easy to do once you practice! I watched YouTube videos and took my time in the very beginning and now I can do a set of 32 rollers very quickly. What use to take me 30 minutes or more for a complete roller set is now 15 minutes or less. Plus now that I use a hair dryer weekdays I only set one bobby pin with the mesh rollers as it all comes loose within a half hour! :lol:
 
Ladies I searched and searched and here are my roller set results between January 28, 2012 and today August 31, 2012! I learned two things I MUST DO ASAP: 1. get a camera (a real camera!) other than my wonderful Android and 2. take better pictures!

Part I first as attachments are limited to 5:

Here's a quick recap:
1. January 2012 I started my first ever HHJ here at LHCF with pink snap on rollers and Organic Coconut Oil. You can barely see it yet my hair is resting at my neck. Definitely shorter compared to August 2012!
2. February 2012 finding it so hard to sleep with snap on rollers I started to set with satin foam rollers and LOVED the results
3. March 2012 was not completely a lost roller setting with Infusium 23 Leave In I just wasn't ok with seeing my hair flatter than usual definitely missing roller sets with Organic Coconut Oil
4. April 2012 sorry no pictures in April on roller sets what was I thinking
5. May 2012 no roller set pictures in May either yet at this time I was 4 months into my HHJ and getting more comfortable with experimenting plait braids and two-strand twists. Here's my May post on Weekend Hair ;)

Part II continued...
