BSL 2013 Challenge

**Question of the Day**

Okay since there has been a bit of talk about BSB and BSL, I wanted to ask you ladies...

Are you reaching for BSB or BSL?

Reaching BSL by Dec I have no idea where I'm at in relation to the goal I just know 13 inches is BSL on me and I have 3 more to go end goal is WSL which is 16 now my issue is the crown area as its longer but will take forever to reach BSL
 
Okay I'm not sure if I did this right or not (Nonie help!) but here's what I did in regards to my current length.

Top of my bra strap is BSB bottom of my strap is at least an inch below BSB and maybe MBL. But I don't really know what MBL is. In any case I want the bottom of my bra strap.

@fifigirl It will go back quickly. Half an inch is nothing, especially with MN. It worked for me when I was using it. I probably had 3/4" to an inch a month.

Right now I'm using NJoy's sulfur mix, so I stopped MN. I might alternate weeks with MN and her mix starting in July though. I want at least another 3-4 inches by the end of the year.

@NikkiQ Your pony puff is juicy, girl! As a 4a/b girl, I don't like wash and goes. :nono: Mine would have been in a puff too.

fifigirl I added MN to my Njoy mix. I hope they works well together. :ohwell:
 
Almost time to M&S the hair up for the night. Got a few parties this weekend so I'll be sticking with the bun the entire time.

Any hair plans for you ladies??

Reaching for BSL here! Although I think in the beginning of this challenge I was reaching for BSB- ya'll know hair anorexia is a beast! ;) I think my torso is shorter or I just wear my bra a little high so I'm claiming when I reach the bottom of my bra strap. My hair must be allergic to my bra or something though lol...cuz I swear it has been lingering in the same spot (about 2 inches above) for a millenium now. I think I'll be comfortably at BSB in about an inch though...so I guess that's something. *shrug*
 
I'm slowly realizing that with long, straight, jet black hair I look like an aging hippie (it's sad and funny at the same time). I should probably cut face framing layers but that seems like a hassle and I'm not sure how it will look when I wear it curly. Maybe highlights would help, but I'm sure my hair would suffer if I do that. I'm not sure why I want long hair when it's not that flattering on me. :-(

Y not cut it curly?
 
I am staying away from heat like it was the devil. Wigging and weaving for the entire year. I don't want my hair to see the sunshine or to be burnt during Summertime. I want retention. I also have a question for the natural ladies; how do you manage to keep you ends stretch to avoid that bulk or that knotty effect on the ends? It's hard ya'll :-(

Omg I need help with this too. keeping my ends stretched.

I decided to change my short term goal to bsb. I need something closer to obtain to:lol: I feel like bsl is such long distance; & I don't want to get discourage.
 
You're going to cut your hair???

Yeah:ohwell: probably @ the end of either this year or next year. I keep trying to change my mind, but I'm really starting to get annoyed w/ my hair. Maybe it's a mood that I'm in. I miss playing w/ it. It's weird b/c when I wasn't actively trying to grow my hair & was going to a horrible hair stylist, my hair was a inch or 2 pass bsl. I used to bleach & perm like every other month.

But now, it's like my hair will not grow. Well we see after this length check.

Looks like you did it right NikkiQ. I would just do away with BSL. BSB is what we use in lieu if BSL because bra strap positions change so using body parts gives a better measure. After BSB comes. MBL, WL, HBL, TBL, BL,...and so on:

I just checked and BSB is BSL (top of bra) for me. My back fat doesn't allow clarity for BSB length checks so I'll stick with BSL. I have got to get rid of this fat.
 
KiWiStyle I have to move/"flex" my shoulder blades in order for them to be seen in pics b/c of my back fat :lachen:

LOL, I did that too....and I had dd help locate them. Her response, "yeah, you can't see them on your back", lol. I have to feel for them....just sad.

u know what all this bra confusion is confusing me because the placement of my bra changes all the time depending on what bra it is. So wherever my hair lands Dec.31st that's my goal length. Granted it better be close to mbl lol

My sentiments exactly so should this be considered the BSB challenge I like the idea of having a landmark to go by and BSB is closer than BSL also so is this why they say WL in 4 yrs of growth? APL 2 yrs BSL 3yrs and WL in 4 yrs they always omit MBL is that bc it's too close to BSL and WL????
