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

Good question, I hadn't really thought that far...but if you do another challenge, then we all have to separate and we're a bit too close-knit for that. Our group has been more like family than most IMO, but if you do a sub-challenge, again we're encouraged to stay together, keep moving strong together and making BSL/MBL together.

Ladies, feel free to chime to keep our group together...but separate--if that makes any sense. :yep:
 
I'm down for whatever too. WL was never really a goal of mine, but who knows? Maybe it will be one day. I like the idea of having the extra time, because I'm on more of health journey than a length journey.
 
How about for the time being we just focus on maintaining the health of our hair til the end of the year and take it from there? If we make BSL before then, SCORE! If not, its all good in the hood.

Sounds good to me! I think the 2 year waist length challenge (2015) with check points for BSL and MBL in between sounds like a winner, but let's see what happens by the end of the year!
 
I wouldnt mind hanging out in the part deux challenge. I mean I just changed schools coming in here! lol

In all honesty I dont know where I'm at length wise. BSL might be attainable for me this year, it may not. I'm not sure. Once I hit BSL I know exactly how long it will take me to hit my other goals because I've already been there. But I'm new to the shorter lengths so I guess I'm just uncertain.

I should wait for the next length check and then decide if I can actually make it.
 
Hello Ladies,
I've been lurking mostly but here's my latest length check. I relaxed on August 4 and I'm still a bit off BSL. Hoping to get there my next relaxer at the end of November.

Hey, I like the idea of us all staying together. I'm good with whatever. I like my classmates too!!! AND I think I won't feel so pressured to make BSL by the end of the year! If I do than great if I don't I'm still with my class! :-)
 
longhairdreaming you are SO close!

jprayze your curls are AWESOME! I would kill for curls like yours.

I think I used too much oil in my dry DC or my baking soda shampoo just can't cut through oil well. My hair is still oily, but it's ok I'm just bunning.
 
I haven't been here in a week as I travelled and I was very sad to see a few members drop out from the Challenge. I love all you ladies and for me, it really was more about encouraging one another, motivating each other and sharing what works amongst ourselves. As I am, I do have some days when I feel BSL is a mirage and there are some days that i'm like my hair is growing and i'm retaining. I think we have to realize it's not a competition...... Some of us will get there and some might not, but we are all going to stick together in this journey! It is what it is, and no matter how upsetting it is just part of life.

On another note, i'm on my 13th week of my stretch. Really not sure if I want to retouch my hair at the moment as I don't feel I cant handle my hair. Going to drag it for another week and then take off my weave and do a Protein treatment. I am afraid of breakage though, so i'm thinking I should first understand my hair as I've never stretched for this long. Stay strong Ladies!
 
I never post in here, but I have a question that's not important enough for a thread of its own, so, here we go:

I've been transitioning to texlaxed and working on my hemline since I joined. Last fall, I started dusting every month. Things are working out nicely. My hair was always around this same length (an inch away from APL), sometimes shorter, but it grows back quickly. My problem has always been my "w" shaped hemline. :nono: I have fine hair and the crown kept breaking. I've since gotten it under control, but I'm still growing out the damage.

So here's the question: why does my hair feel shorter now that it's thicker? It's approximately the same length it always was. It just doesn't feel as long. I don't know if this makes sense, but if it does, please mention me. I'll never find it in this long arse thread. :lol:

Ladies I'm really loving my hair in these box braids. I finally hv a style with out extensions that I love. And the best part is I was able to wear my wig when I wanted a different look. I co washed them this weekend and now on week 2. I hope to keep them for 3 weeks. I'm gonna try rock these until the end of the year.

but Im back now because I really miss the interaction with this crazy board:lol:

Im in mini twists now (just 1 week) and plan to keep them in (re twisting periodically so I dont loc) for about 2 - 3 months

I think I understand what you mean. But, unfortunately, I can't answer the question. My hair is thin but when my hair was shorter, as when it was SL, it always felt thicker. I don't know what the correlation is. I'm sure one of the ladies here will chime in and answer your question.
 
NikkiQ you don't even have to make it a length challenge. It can just be the "hang out with NikkiQ" thread. Everyone can have their own objective- length, health, support, hanging out with good people. :-)

I have the same problem. The longer my hair gets it seems to get less thick. I think mine is due to my nape and crown which have not caught up with the rest of my hair.

Hmmm that's something to pay attention to. I realize the longer my hair gets the more defined my pen-spring size curls become. I also think my ends, like that last inch and a half is thinner. Maybe my eyes are crossed which i don't think they are but i will definitely be paying more attention.

Yea, I've been working on babying my nape so it can grow and eventually be as long as the rest of my hair. Hopefully by the end of next year.
