BSL 2013 Challenge

[yoli184]

I did the same thing myself today...join the club. See you in MBL2014. My thin ends will be gone, baby, gone!

I cut 2 inches off myself thus wont make it to BSL this year (need 3 inches).....unless I get a major growth spurt..
But I just Couldnt stand those bone straight ends anymore. I'm a little over an inch away from APL. hair is looking full and healthy...

^^^This is what I do



pelohello Glad to hear you've sorted out your protein overload. What are the benefits of using sea salt?

I think the salt breaks up the protein.

Cattypus1, KiWiStyle, I will also be joining you ladies in BSL 2014. But don't leave yet

I first reached APL about June last year and over a year later I am still APL. I started my hair journey Feb 2011 with thin NL hair and 2.5 years later, I am still APL!!! I don't know if it my growth rate or being scissor happy but what I do know is that my hair keeps looking better. My hemline is also thickening up. This journey is lifelong for me. Our hair will keep growing ladies

Lurkee you're right it really is a life long journey and this is why I'm not making a big deal about cutting my see thru hemline. I am making progress but not at the rate to positively keep up with this challenge. The little engine that could..Can't. I'm still going to post here because I really like you gals I just can't anymore, my expectations were way to high.

So are there any people that MBL is actually before they reach BSL? Just did the measuring not too long ago and I'm basically at MBL now because my torso is 20-21" and my hair is 10-11" now and BSL is at least another 2". I was kinda shocked by this info but wanted to know were there others with my short torso issue because I feel like it will feel like forever if my next length goal is WL with no goal inbtween BSL

Make that 3 of us...what good is long hair if it doesn't look the best when it's straight and down. You do mean BSL 2014, right?!??

*** holds hand up with head down in shame ***

It was me, I started the whole thing. I think my post gave other stragglers the nerve to openly acknowledge the ugly truth too. I really wanted to take this challenge all the way to WL with you ladies. I feel like a kid transferring to a new school and making new friends, it just doesn't feel right but it has to be done.

BSL is a lofty goal because we are going (at least for some of us) where have never been, but we will ALL get there. We do have these challenges, but of course we can't also reach our hair goals in the confines of a calendar year. I think that some will make both BSL and MBL in 2014 because those goals can be so close and subjective.

The Ugly Truth indeed...LOL...I'm glad I can still laugh about it!

I'm also going to have to join the BSL 2014 challenge. I think I'll make BSL this year, but I really need a good trim so I won't be BSL for long.

 

[GettingKinky]

I have a tiny thin (maybe bald) spot on my hairline. It's right around where I used to part my hair. I guess I need to order some JBCO and see if I can get it to fill in. :-(

It will in time. For now and forever, I would switch my parts every few days. Using the same part for a long period of time causes the area to thin a little, making it a permanent part.

 

[Killahkurlz]

Yesterday I spritzed my twists with my water mix then sealed with my shea butter mix, then did 4 bantu knots to stretch my hair. Then Oil massaged my hair with jbco.and tea tree then hung over my bed upside down for a few minutes.
Today I did the massage inversion thing again. I'm experimenting. Hair is still slightly damp in bantu knots so I've put a conditioning cap on then put my scarf back on.

Thanks and yes we are hair twins indeed! I'll meet you in the BSL 2014 challenge (rolls eyes).

*hint *hint NikkiQ, maybe we could all use an encouraging BSL Part II until 6/2014 then go into full blown MBL by December 2014. I think if most of us make it by June 2014 (that's approx 10 months = 5 inches for avg hairgrowers) we should definitely make MBL by December (another 3 inches). Maybe we could take a majority vote since the focus is HEALTHY, BSL hair?

What say you?

What a cool idea...hmmmm

 

[NikkiQ]

KaramelDiva1978 like create another challenge or do a sub-challenge in here?

I vote that NikkiQ hosts a challenge for 2015. That way we all have 28 months to reach WL with nice healthy ends, no one would feel pressured to keep ends they don't like. And we could all stay together for a long time.

I'm so confused. A BSL 2013 Part II? 2013 and 1/2? 2015?? Lord what is going on??

We are one, lets stay together. I'm so totally in, I love you guys...my virtual hair sistas! I don't want to go to a new school either...LOL! Please let us stay, I'll be good, promise.

 

[NikkiQ]

Let's see what everyone else says. I'm not gonna kick anyone out of here and make them start a new school as KiWiStyle likes to say.

I think if we start a 2 year WL challenge we can all stay together. Let's do it!!

 

[Guinan]

Yay!! I like the idea of NikkiQ hosting again! Like the other posters said, maybe we could do & call it "The BSL/WSL Double Threat Challenge" or something 2 that effect. It would have to be a longer challenge though. BSL is sooo subjective.

I don't want 2 go 2 another school either. I like my classmates

How long does it normally take to get from BSL to MBL I know it varies for everyone but what's the average timeframe? I'm down w whatever you ladies want to that extra time may be good for my hair

ETA: nvm I measured my hair and back extra time is cool!
