I did a corrective yesterday and it came out well. So I took end of the year pics to compare w/ my July 2013 BSL goal. Trying to finish off this 33 oz bottle of water. Increasing my water intake made my newgrowth more manageable.
 
~Current hair length: Between APL and BSB

~Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd: Texlaxed

~BSL goal month: April 2013

~Current Reggie and styling choices: Prepoo, Shampoo, *Insert Reconstructive Treatment here if needed*, Tea Rinse, DC w/ Steam and Style

~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL? Taking vitamins consistently, M&S'ing regularly, and doing tea rinses

~Post a beginning picture:

Backstory: My goal for 2012 was to make BSL and I did. BUT my ends were not in good shape so I did a minor trim ( a inch). However, I wanted blunt ends so bad I couldn't see straight so I took off about another inch maybe inch and a half. So in total I took off about 2 to almost 2 1/2 inches :). The first pic is of my hair at BSL w/ raggedy ends :down:. The other is of my freshly trimmed blunt ends! :up:.

How did u keep ur ends from puffying up after flat ironing it straight? Whenever I try to flat iron it straight for length checks, my ends start to fluff up. Did u take this pic after a fresh relaxer?

Here is my starting pic. I did a henna and indigo before Christmas - my first time - loved it and plan on doing again! I think I need at least two more inches for BSL - so maybe by May I will be there! I'm a slow grower! Happy Hair Growing Ladies and Happy New Year!

I am sitting under the dryer with emergencia dc on, relaxing!!! Found a few more hidden gems in my stash, once I make a list I am going to be set on using them and discovering what my hair loves. I am getting my six inches in 2013!!! Yep!!!
 
Oh gosh. There's so many pages and I don't know if I posted a starting pic yet. Here's mine.

Yes, the pic of my BSL hair was taken after a fresh texlax; the pic of my fresh cut was on week old airdried hair that I lightly pressed on 300 in big sections so that I could trim.

What I do is use the comb chase method when straightening, air dry using the banding method and I blow dry using the tension method. I find that when I apply light tension to my ends during each process my ends get straighter and stays that way until my next wash.

Also, the moisturizer I use acts as a anti-humectant and helps the hair not to revert...Its the Blended Beauty Straight Pearl, I got it from Curlmart and I LOVE IT! I only use it when I've straighten my hair and it never frizzes or reverts. I think its on sale right now, if your interested.

HTH's :)

Welcome back
 
Gonna re-flat iron a piece of hair in the back and use that as my starting pic. I plan on chopping off another 1.5" since my stylist told me I needed a trim. She didn't want to do it then. She wanted to wait until I came back (maybe Feb) but I wanna start out the new year with fresh ends.
 
Yayy - I'm in for this challenge! I don't think I've actually done a challenge before but I want to really see improvements in my hair (health/length) in 2013!

Current Hair Length: Grazing APL.
Status: Natural
Goal Month: I'd like to reach the blue line (with healthy ends) by December 2013. But be somewhere in the strap region by July?
Regimen and Styling:
-- Wash weekly with Bentonite Clay
-- DC w/ heat after each wash probably with a Honey/Olive Oil mix or Aubrey Organics HSR... or both
-- Moisturize with Kimmaytube's leave-in recipe. Seal with some type of light oil/butter.
-- Set hair each week with Curlformers
-- Mostly buns buns buns and protective styles.
-- I also henna to cover my grays... so I guess I'll henna now and then after check-ins so I can compare the growth at the root to my length retention. :lol:

What I'm changing to reach BSL: I've discovered my hair is low-porosity, so I'm changing to the above regimen to encourage cuticle opening and moisture retention.

Current length: almost APL
Currently Relaxed
Hope to be BSL by Dec 2013

What I plan on changing: I always wanted to try castor oil so will be doing that.

I am attempting to post a pic of my hair from last night.
Took down only 2 braids. Will post another pic when I decide to take these down.

I will be following this thread in 2013. I hope to touch the top of my bra in December or grazing BSB. My siggy pic is my starting pic.

I had joined APL 13 but never posted there. :lol:

~BSL goal month = August 2013 (possibly sooner)
~Current Reggie and styling choices = Shampoo once a month; Weekly overnight DC, blow-dry with comb attachment, flat iron
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL? = Using only one heat appliance - blow dry or flat iron but not both

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hey ladies :-). Is BSL at the top or bottom of your bra??

Good question. I think for me it will be at the bottom of my bra since I wear my bra high. But I think if you wear your bra in a normal way, I think its at the top and when you start passing the bra is MBL? I think:ohwell:
