BSL 2013 Challenge

This might be a really silly question but for LCs, you're just supposed to pull the hair down your back and not down your chest right? My hair is BSL at the back **if so** but APL at the front. Is it only the hair at the front that counts? So confused!

laylaaa Most use the nape/back area.

Yay for progress! The picture on the left is from 2/8/13. The picture on the right from today.

I think the biotin is really helping! I definitely have had some good growth in the past month. (Started taking biotin for a month, this photo is from a month and a half ago).

Here ya go! I think I have an inch ago until I'm FULLY there! Woohooooooooo!

Here is my length check for March ladies. The first pic is from Dec 29, flat ironed hair, and measurments I have from Jan 3 is 10 inches after my trim. March 29 measurement is 11 inches, so I have 1.5 inches to go for BSL (12.5 inches for me) in my longest layer :drunk:

I don't have anyone to take my pic, but I put on my LC shirt and I'm at #7. BSL for me is #9. Only 2 more inches! I'll post a pic as soon as I figure out how to set the timer on my camera.
 
Soooo my chi decided to break 1/2 way through my flat iron.. Smh. Idk what I'm gonna do. These 1/2 done pics will have to do lol

Hey Ladies,

Here to give my length check, although I'm pretty sure I've done this wrong.. lol

I trimmed a bit in January, But nothing Crazy, But my starting photo was in the front and wet, and this one is in the back and dry. Oh well, at least for the next check I will have a proper photo to start from.

I was successful in improving my water intake and cleaning up my diet. I've resumed taking my biotin, and am upping my veggie intake, Will see if it makes a difference. I'm stubbornly holding out for my goal of BSL by december.. lol Although I am barely about to grace APL soon.

Anyhow, You lovely ladies are an inspiration!

So I tried to take a pic by myself with my camera timer, and I could never get back to my spot and comb all my hair straight down before the camera went off. :ohwell: Oh well, this will have to do. I'm posting my length checks from Oct, Dec and today for comparison. Slow and steady wins the race! :yep:

I was applying my LOC after washing my hair and I could feel my hair on my back so I decided since it's LC day I should post a picture. My hair is already starting to dry and shrink up in this picture I can't wait until I get it flat ironed on the 25th so I can do a real LC.

I haven't officially joined this, but I would like to. Attached is my pic from 12/31/12 and another from today 03/31/2013.


~Current hair length - about 6.5 on the LC shirt. APL
~Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd - texlaxed transitioning to natural
~BSL goal month - i thought i would make it in April, but my hubby cut off 1.5" in Dec. New goal month is Sept 2013.
~Current Reggie and styling choices - varies. I like to wear my hair straight, but don't want all the heat. I alternate with a straight week and a low manipulation style. I will start Bikram Yoga class tomorrow, so I'll probably bun the whole month of April.
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL? M&S every other night, I bought Njoy hair growth oil and will be using this several times a week, I take prenatal vitamins, Biotin and Calcium. My goal is to get in 96oz of H20 a day and I'm at about 60oz a day (I'm working on it). I try to keep my styles low manipulation, unfortunately I don't do too well with protective syles.... Maybe i'll try to work on this.
~Post a beginning picture
 
Alrighty guys. I decided not to use any heat on my hair for the length check because I'm working out a lot now and I didn't want to waste my time. I dusted and trimmed my hair between the start of the year and now so I didn't expect to have gained any length. No problem at all. My ends are definitely better and that's all I care about. :yep:

Length Check

There will be no more scissors until the end of Summer so if my next length check looks like this, feel free to slap me. :lol:
 
Here is my length check, I think I might be grazing APL, but I am not sure. I length checked on dry hair with a butter, and it kept slipping out of my hands, this is the best I can do for now.

It is new to be taking a picture with a bra, :lachen: my bra is so far down there it is hard to get it into the shot.
