on reaching SL, the other layers will get there soon. Full SL is long hair to me, and it always will be! I too think you can make APL this year.Upon looking at your routine and hair, I would highly recommend you up your m&s from weekly to daily, maybe add a mid week reconstructor. The dye is fighting with the health of your hair, it is not a dryness issue; it is a protein bond issue. Glad you caught it in time.
Finally APL!
and you did for Easter, that is greatSo here is my official length check ladies! DH took pics for me but he cut my bra out of the picture b/c he said "it was too low". Then step back fool! *sigh* Good help is hard to find. I did my best taking a pic and compared it to my starting pic. Sorry the comparison is so small.
And our fearless leader is the first unicorn of the March Length check. Amazing growth
Oh my, that is some beautiful hair.OMG, pookaloo83 made BSL
Great jobResearch something, start a business, Do something scandalous for spring break! Get crafty, Spring cleaning, bake home made bread, baking, learn how to make home made marinara sauce, shine your shoes, donate clothes, sell something on ebay, Go to a tea house with a friend, go window shopping then thrifting for the looks you liked.
Most importantly, put a post it note by your mirror that says something nice like 'my hair looks good' so you can see it every time you need a boost.

Thinking about slathering my hair in some oil before bed so tomorrow I can finger detangle and remove shed hair, shampoo, protein treat, DC, detangle again and braid it back up. We aren't doing anything tomorrow but vegg out around the house so it's a good day to pamper my hair.

I just did my official length-check...I am so sad. I'm afraid I haven't recovered from my set back last spring. I haven't lost any length so I know it's growing but my ends are so incredibly thin. I used my LC tee and I have some thin scraggly ends trying to touch between the 2&3 but most of the weight is at the 1. I don't even want to post the pick because I want to go get a haircut right this second.
Don't be sad, just do what you have to do but please don't trim it all at once. I had the same problem because my nape was recovering from damage so it was much shorter than the rest of my hair. Once it started to grow, my hemline was still left thin and see through. I have been SLOWLY trimming my crown hair to even my hemline and now I have less than an inch left to trim which I won't be doing any time soon. My retention isn't what it should be because I've been cutting it regularly for over a year which has done wonders for the appearance of my hair. I'm on a no trim regimen for 2013, only dusting.
We still want to see pics but I guess that won't happen, lol. Chin up lady, things like this is just apart of our own individual journeys. Trust me, it was painful cutting my progress every few months to even my hemline but it had to be done and I wanted to do it before I hit APL.
Aren't you texlaxed??

All loced up...
I was having a mini meltdown and it was making me very sad. I know you're right and its a good thing tomorrow is Sunday and a holiday or the haircut would have happened. I'm going to trim my ends, probably back to the 1 on my shirt and keep on keepin on. Thanks for the support, I needed a virtual hair-hug.

I love seeing all the updates. Everyone's hair looks so good, and you all are making such great progress. I may break down and buy a LC t-shirt so I can document my progress better. I know my hair is longer but I never take pictures in the same shirt so I can see how much longer
Off topic - I went to visit the puppies today and they are soo cute. I can't wait until I can take one home. Once that happens I'm sure my hair obsession will become manageable. As it is I am pretty busy, but whenever I have any down time, and I mean even a few minutes, I'm on this site or wondering when my hair will reach BSL or wondering if I should stay texlaxed, or go natural, or back to bonelaxed. I am driving myself crazy! It's nice to know that there are other crazy hair obsessed people out there. It makes me feel a little less like a weirdo.

March Length Check:
First pic is end of Dec/January 1st. Second is February 18th. Last three are last week or so. I retained an inch from Feb to now, but I definitely see thickening going on. I have about 2, maybe 2.5 inches to BSL (the top of the purple shirt). Yeah, I measured.
So, hopefully I can claim between June and August.

As I'm reading about you getting your puppy visit in this weekend and about how cute they are GettingKinky, this happens.

I did my relaxer touch up last night after a 13-week stretch. I still haven't got the hang of it yet; came out underprocessed in a lot of places, plus I ended up burned. Ironically, I got burned in the places where the relaxer stayed on for the least amount of time (in the front) while the back, where it was on for the longest, was fine. I based the hell out of the back and I guess not enough in the front, probably because I was tired at that point (the whole prep time for the relaxer took about five hours!).
My hair did have more thickness and body than when I get it done at the salon, but I think that is due to the different vitamins I am taking and the techniques I am using to minimize breakage.
I am going to wait 5 weeks to give my scalp a chance to heal, and then I will go back to my stylist to get a corrective so I can even out these crazy textures. As it stands, I really can't wear my hair out without using heat, and I don't want to undo the progress that I've made with my hair with that kind of damage.
As far as length, I have made good progress. I don't see any thinning or breakage in my hemline, and if you could see my shoulder blades, I would be at just about BSB. Since I wear my bras so low, BSL is still a ways off, but not as far as I thought; I'm thinking maybe the end of September if all goes well! And by the end of Dec, I may even be sneaking up on MBL, or at least be close enough so I can taste it! 
Since it didn't happen if there aren't pictures, I will post some later today once I have found some heat protectant and my flatiron to give a quick run through my hair. Congrats on the beautiful progress I am seeing with all the ladies in this challenge!! Happy Easter/Passover/Hair Growing everyone!
