We're all thinking ultimately thinking about our final goals, but I don't want people getting hung up on making MBL when we're not even BSL/BSB yet. It will get people discouraged.

That's understandable. I don't want to get ppl riled up as I stated before Ill focus on BSL which is what are here for
 
Participating in Noche de San Juan tonight at the beach and I think I may try something different with my hair. Maybe a curly faux hawk or something. IDK. Since it's a special occasion/island tradition, I wanna make sure I do it right with cute hair :lol:
 
I started back on Hairfinity this week. Ordered a 2 month supply but thought about it and I probably will order one more month to bring me to my next length check. Think I'll do a wash, light protein, & dc today.
I passed by an Indian grocery store yesterday near my house (never noticed it before), and I got SO excited...want to see what kind of hair goodies they have in there- I ran out of henna last month so this is just in time!
 
Well I think it's safe to say I'm bsb

Yayyyy killakurlz!!! Congrats! On to BSL!!

I stopped by that Indian Grocery store today...that place is gonna get me in trouble I see. ;) Bought 1 Jamila henna, 1 Karishma henna (never tried it before), indigo, & sime Brahmi/Amla hair oil. Should have read the ingredients on the oil though before I purchased. ..mineral oil is listed 1st. :( oh well. I think I may go back for the pure almond oil (seemed like a great price) & the Brahmi powder.
 
I'm trying sock bun curls tonight. Since my hair is straight I didn't spritz it with water so I'm not sure it will turn out. And the bun is cute enough that DH doesn't complain when I wear it to bed.
 
Does anyone know how I can stop getting those awful kinks in my hair from my hair bands? How do you keep your hair up? I'm trying to keep my hair off my shoulders but I hate buns..... help please!
 
Here are pics of my length check. I dont know how I feel about them. But to be positive, I'm really happy with my pony tail:yep: I dont see an ounce of difference. I'm really hoping I see SOMETHING by Sept. I think my expectations arent realistic. I keep comparing my length to everyone else's. I'm so afraid that I wont make BSL this yr & have to be in the repeat:sad: & not know anyone:lol:

One of the comparisons is from April and the other one is from last month.

Hope you ladies are doing well...I've been wearing protective styles (flat twists updos) since taking my braids down. Love getting up and just going about my day. The style usually lasts 2-3 weeks. Hoping this will get me close to bsl, but I don't think I'll make it before December.
 
Sat. Night I put amla/brahmi/vatika oil on my scalp and hair put it in a bun with conditioning cap
Sun. afternoon I cowashed with WEN Sweet Almond Mint
I only had a little bit of MD honey peach syrup so I mixed it with Vatika Frosting and AOHSR and DC with heat for 30mins
Forgot to add: I did a tea rinse as a final rinse
Used my leave-in Bask hair milk & Tapioca Hair Cream sealed with Sevenfold Hair Butter then air dried in twist
Then braided my hair for a braid out

pelohello, IDK what you're talking about because you've definitely retained/grown some from May to now. It's only been one month...so that little piece past the green line is great! It looks right on track...1/2" or so. You are watching grass grow! lol

polished07 girl 6 months is a good amount of time to tweak and fix products and oils to boost the growth.... think about it thats 3 inches if we protective style the whole time. 3 inches will land me where i want and need to be.

Its also summer some people get that super growth now so u can probably add another inch on to the 3 and make that 4.

I take hairfinity vitamins also. I think they work pretty well.

Last summer I learned summer time is not a good time for butt long braids lol
 
pelohello you are definitely longer than you were last month. You are reaching into that green stripe!

My sock bun curls didn't work at all. :-(I guess I need to wet my hair a bit. I didn't want it to frizz up but I'm not feeling this stick straight hair.
 
Whooo! Been recovering from last night's festivities all day. My poor puff is smushed right now. I'll be washing it tomorrow. Got dunked in the ocean last night by some drunk friends and it's so salty right now. Ugh.
 
So...


I'm gonna go ahead and claim BSL. I have about a half inch to solidify it, but what the hell.

Y'all can't kick me out though...

Trying to decide if I will flat iron this weekend for length check...I may just skip this one. But I have to do something to my hair for this weekend...so Idk. When I pulled my hair, I'm still maybe a half inch shy of APL. I have a long way to go.
