I am officially ready to join this challenge. At 15 weeks post, my hair is APL... Once I relax at 20 weeks (Aug 31st), I will be past APL, on my way to full APL (all over - hair used to be in layers) and BSL in length by years end or a few months into next year... Only time will tell.
~Current hair length: APL
~Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd: Relaxed.
~BSL goal month: Dec 2013
~Current Reggie and styling choices
-Pre-poo 1x weekly with oils and conditioner
-Poo 1x weekly with sulfate free poo
-Cowash 1x weekly
-DC 2x weekly
-Steam 2x/ week with (1)shampoo prepoo and with (2)co-wash DC.
-M/S Nightly (very lightly)
-Rollerset Weekly
-Protective Styles of Choice: Bunning and Flexi Sets
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL? Increasing my moisture (very porous) and limiting my heat. I don't use too much heat (usually just my roots after 10+ weeks post rollersets). But I do run it across a frizzy set every so often. But with length will hopefully come more styling options without any heat at all (knot-outs, twist-outs, etc).
~Post a beginning picture: Will post once I relax at the end of August. But to hold its place, I have attached a pic for the meantime.
