BSL 2013 Challenge

I know everyone is different, but does anyone find that the length from APL to BSL is only about 3in? Or is it just me and my bra is worn high?

Mine is like 4" I think I wear my.bra to low.
I decided to Wen wash now IM DCing with Beautiful Textures rapid repair DC.

no tea rinses for me anymore at this time! i am not going to fight this shedding thing anymore. i did that tea rinse and it didn't do anything but piss me off for wasting my time!

i think i am going to use my Cantu shea butter when i am combing my hair out during detangling. my hair seems to soak up the NTM quickly. i am still not done and got a lot more to go, but had to stop to straighten up and start dinner.

I wish! Because I wear my bra so low it is more like 6 inches, which is like a whole year's growth for me. That means with 100% retention, I may be able to reach it by fall of this year, and with a couple of tiny trims by the end of this year. I guess it works out though, because the bottom of my bra strap is MBL, and WL is 2 or 3 inches from that, so next year will mean great progress for me in terms of reaching my goals of WL and beyond. :grin:

Good point! I believe my bra strap is neither high or low. The difference between APL & BSL is at least 4 inches for me I think.

My bra is too high. I probably won't comfortably claim bsl until I'm closer 2 mbl.

I'm currently doing the inversion method. Hopefully it will help me get sum great growth.:)

I'm a low bra wearer myself. I'll have DH measure the distance for me tomorrow and I'll let you know. I think it's about 4 or 5 inches.
 
Mmm looks like this summer I will have to do a mid-week cowash. Gave my hair a good wash and am now deep conditioning with Joico Moisture Recovery Deep Treatment. This stuff is awesome. Mmmm may do some cornrows for a braid out tomorrow.
 
This Friday makes 8 weeks since my 'big chop'! I want to see how things are going now. I haven't paid much attention to how it was growing. I may flat iron this weekend. Just hope that if I get it done, I can get it to last 2 weeks!

Yes! Joico Moisture Recovery treatment is my baby daddy. Although its suppose to be for course hair, it makes my fine hair very, very happy!

Morning Ladies!!:drunk::drunk:

I decided to relax tomorrow. I'm really excited. I feel like I can start new. A couple of days ago I gave myself a very big trim. So with this relaxer and the trim, I can start fresh. The only thing I need to work on is finding the right products for my hair and the right PS when I am deep in a strech(sp). After I relax 2morrow, I plan on wearing a braidout, w/ only the front out and the back pinned up and then on Sat I am going to Chelate/Neutralize again and then flat iron my hair (I will def post sum pics:lol:) so that I can get an accurate look at my length and even up any uneveness(sp).

HHJ:spinning:
 
Hey ladies!

Sorry I've been MIA, graduation was Saturday and I spent allllllll Sunday moving/driving back home. I got a TU on Friday and I need a MAJOR trim. I want to go get it trimmed into a U shape (I think my hair is finally long enough to do it) but I sadly don't trust anyone :-( hopefully I figure something out soon.

I attempted to cut my hair in a "u" shape, but its looks more like a "V". I still love the shape of it. I watched utubers prettywitty77 & habioku. You basically put your hair in two pigtails and trim and then one pony tail and trim. When I intially did it I didnt trim enough, b/c I was afraid that I would make a mistake. I trimmed again a couple of days ago, so I'm hoping that the "u' or "v" is visible. I really like it b/c it makes the hemline look thicker. If you do decide to do it on your own, do alittle at a time.
 
I'm getting sick of these straight ends :wallbash: (heat damage from 2011/ beginning of 2012). My hair has improved a lot but my curly styles do not look or feel right. I usually dust my ends but I think next week I'm going to make an appt and get 1/2" to an 1" cut off. I feel my hair will be all the better for it.

Your hair looks fabulous!
 
I straightened my hair with my new age electric hot comb at a whopping 450ºF and it still didn't get my hair straight. That's a lot of heat for my fine hair with any other hair tool. I'm going to CW this weekend and straighten my hair again with my old school electric hot comb.
On the bright side, my hair is so healthy! I'm pretty proud of myself. I want to thank you guys for all your posts and pics. #hugs
 
I have this updo since Monday, two days ago. I just took it down to record a tutorial and I put it back up. I trimmed my hair, those ends were too rough. Now I guess after my birthday- May 30th- I will go back to wearing my wig aka Fanta- second picture- but this is how my afro looks like- 3rd picture :look:

I tried the gelatin protein treatment. It worked great! I will continue to do this. I mixed 1 packet of gelatin in 16oz of water and put it into a spray bottle. I left it on for 20 minutes, then rinsed well. Worked better than Duo Tex.
 
Just used a little Nubian Heritage EVOO & Moringa repair and extend hair butter on my ends. A little dab will do ya. And oooh it smells good!
