BSL 2013 Challenge

[g.lo]

I even pmed her last week...no response. I'm officially worried. It sucks not knowing someone irl sometimes.... Any1 have her fb or something? Maybe I can check her etsy...

I am really worried for her and hope nothing negatif is going on

 

[Froreal3]

I just tried looking on FB, but none of the people with her name that I found are her. She probably has her profile private if she is on there.

ETA: She doesn't have a child and a dog does she?

 

[polished07]

She's on IG but I didn't think to message her Ill see what's up with her

ETA: she posted on there 23 hrs ago and she seems fine maybe she's busy with life I don't want to seem like I'm stalking her so if you want to hit her up on IG she's Snquinn

 

[daae]

i can't wash my hair until my clay gets here

hurry up.

Oh well that's great. No need to message her then. Just wanted to make sure she was ok.

daae, what kind of clay is it? Are you going to mix it with anything. I saw on that naptural had a clay wash that I always wanted to try.

 

[Froreal3]

I'm ready for the next challenge.

[Hair highlighted and flat ironed to the GODS! Only issue I have is that she didn't trim my layers like she has done in the past (I didn't really ask). She only trimmed the bottom layer, which is still fine.

I love it! And I will finish the year at LEAST BSL... Not BSB, BSL!

 

[Beautifulwildflower]

What do you ladies think about Jada Pinketts new do. Do you think she's too old to sport this stlye; trying to be like her daughter, Willow or a creative inspiration and should continue to not let people and her age define her?

I don't understand why people do this. Why are you shaving the sides off?

I'm a baby about major cuts, so... more power to her. Not very flattering tho.

I hear ya about the major cuts. Couldn't do it myself (the ol' mighty hair:notworthy won't let me), but I would do a wig similar to this, tho.

ImanAdero, your hair looks so pretty & I love the highlights.

 

[Guinan]

Beautifulwildflower, I like the cut. I think Rihanna pulls it off the best though.

 

[Seamonster]

Seamonster your hair is growing great!!!

Thank you

Well, your bra is dang near your waist so I guess it would be elusive!
I was complaining about the same thing and my friend said, "Your bra is realllllllly low!"

That is a good point

Getting closer

Girl go ahead and claim it, congratulations

Hi Ladies!

It's been a minute; I let my membership lapse, but then I decided to rejoin and update you guys with my progress and ask a question.

I have made a lot of progress with my growth and retention, but these length milestones are having me confused as to what I should claim. Let me post a few pics to illustrate. The first pic is the start of my current HHJ, around January, 2012. The second pic is from November, 2012, when I juuuust reached APL. The third pic is from three days ago, right after my last relaxer touch up.

As you can see (pardon the back fat!), I am technically MBL, based on the measurement of my back (from shoulders to the top of my hips), but I am just short of BSL because I pretty much wear my bra reeeeaaally low, like almost to my waist. So which should I claim? BSL? BSB? MBL? It's all so confusing--and a little frustrating.

On a related note, even though I can see the progress in the pictures, I am still trying to wrap my mind around the concept that my hair is "long," if you can understand that. It still doesn't "feel" long to me, and I definitely wish it was thicker and fuller, but that's not gonna happen with my fine strands. Nevertheless, it has been an experience exploring this uncharted territory (my hair has never been this long before)--I even had my first "weave check" by a total stranger yesterday, and that was a trip!

Let me know what you think, and happy hair growing ladies!

Mbl, congrats

So pretty, congrats, loving all these Nov graduates

I think that style is 5 years old, and looks great on her. She looks very youthful and vibrant. The updo is matronly though.

When is this next challenge coming I'm waiting to sign up ....
This inversion better work this month and next month
I will have my braids in next week

 

[coolsista-paris]

girls i might not leave you.

im scared that growing a pixie out will be so long to get back where i am (bsb). so i think i will not cut that short.

i still plan on relaxing my natural hair but i wint do a big cut.

Congrats on BSL and your hair as always looks gorgeous!!

 

[Guinan]

So I finally bought the hair for my braids. I bought 5 jumbo packs of hair, that came to about 8.00.

I'm currently prepping my hair for the braid install on Saturday. I'm DC under heat & then I'm going to prep my hair for a twist out for 2morrow. My last day to enjoy my hair. Since I have off on Monday, I'm going to braid the front half on Saturday and then the back half on Sunday & Monday. I still need to find a water based leavein. I probably just use AVJ.

 

[GrowAHead]

sooo.. Here is my update. I'm preggers so my old bras are too tight, but the new ones have a higher back so to avoid a "false positive" I took one of my husbands ties and placed it around my lower chest area (lower boob). I think I'm pretty close and by my touch up in Dec I should def be able to claim it.

Next thing I'm nervous about is if 2014 is going to bring crazy post-preggers shedding.. *crossing fingers* :covereyes
