Congrats and awesome progress. How do you use your OCO by the way and do you do it in the winter time as well?

Thank YOuuuuu Fhrizzball! :)

Yes! I just updated my regimen to exclusively return to using OCO only beginning October 8, 2012! I still have the same jar I purchased at the beginning of this year :spinning: Only very little is really needed on your fingertips to massage into the scalp and then apply from ears to ends.

Here is a link to my Winter reggie posted over at the BSL 2013 Challenge!

Plus my hair in these length check pictures is my day old roller set from the weekday ;)

Beginning January of this year I cut about 4 to 5 inches of hair due to moisture overload. The first pic shows where I started this year which was at neck length. The next pic shows where I am now. That pic was taken in October of this year. I hope to reach brastrap length by the very end of this year Lord willing.

I think it's time for me to admit that I won't successfully complete this challenge. :sad: :lol:

I have a few strands that are so close, but most of my hair is still around APL. :ohwell: I'll probably eventually end up cutting those strands to even my hair up in the back anyway. The good news is that I'm pretty sure that I will make it to BSL in 2013, though! :lol: I guess I need to find that challenge. :yep:

I'm not going to make it either, but I want to see how close I will be by the end of the year. Did you join BSL 2013 yet?
 
i know i am going to make BSB. that's what matters the most. i wear my bra so low, i will be dang near MBL when i reach that. but i can't believe i made it this far on my own. i am still learning so much about my hair. and i am trying to get it as healthy as possible. next year i wonder how am i going to do things differently. i just need more length to get more creative with my protective styles.

Yes I will! I'm going to do one for all of 2013 so ppl can come in and out depending on when they are doing it.
 
I haven't given up hope just yet!! Well, for BSB at least. I straightened today. What do you ladies think? Only 1.5 months to go.

Thanks. I need a trim, so I'm going to take about a half inch or so off when I get back from my grandmas funeral. I straightened because the water is so hard where she lived and I didn't want to have to mist/wash/wet my hair at all while I'm here for two weeks.
 
Took my weave out today. It was starting to look ratty. I washed and blowdried my hair and did a length check. I'm still about an inch from BSL in the back. The front and sides are still around APL. The back might make it by the end of next month. We shall see.

ETA: In other news, my stress spot is growing back in. Around this time last year I had a bald spot. Happy to see hair there now.

I got my hair professionally trimmed,blowdried and curled. She trimmed alot off but Im not mad. I love my length! Bsl is my ultimate goal and I will reach sometime in spring. Right now, Im enjoying it.:grin:
 
:hiya: Happy Thanksgiving Ladies!

I am grateful for all of the advice and support you all have given to this long hair newbie turned APL Ninja!

*posting via the LHCF app hope this works!*
 
Thanksgiving 2012...been feeling like my hair is out of wack. So I did this blowout. Grazing BSL stretched, but my ends look thin :-(. Trying to decide if I want to flatiron or not...or if I need to trim...

This is where I am as of today. I *think* I'm at BSL, but I'm not flat ironing or claiming anything until December 31st.

:grin:I really suck at update these challenges but here's my update and plan for the rest of the year. I made BSB at my last touch-up but have about 1 1/2" to BSL. I'm also turning 30 in March and freaking out about it :drunk:so..... I'm hiding my har until my birthday. No touch-ups, no length checks, just braids and sew-ins until about a week before my birthday. Then I think I'll post a thread with the glorious reveal :blush::lick::spinning:. I take down my current sew-in Thursday night so I will try to post a pull test for an update (if I remember) but that will be the last length check of the year before I go get tree braids on Friday.

I had made it to 3 day hair... Then realized I wasn't gonna push it.

I've been wanting to try the marley bun, so here it is.

It's a completely different color than my natural hair haha, but oh well! I'm still gonna wear it for the rest f the week.

I am happy to announce that I am full brastrap length. I have checked my hair length since the last pic I had posted on the forum back in Oct 2012. My hair not only reach my bra but its past my brastrap I was shocked to discover that. I am in the process of finishing a set of mini two strand twist that Im putting in my hair. I will keep them in for about 3 weeks. So I don't think I will have an update pic for Dec. Lord willing I will have one up in January.
