BSL by Dec 2011

Checking in! I've been faithfully applying Bee Mine every other night or every night some weeks, taking Country Life Maxi Hair and Country Life Natural Garlic, moisturizing every night. I'm 6 weeks post (this saturday) and I can't stop playing in my coily new growth. 4-5 more weeks left in my stretch, can't wait to see my progress. I feel like my stretch is going very well.:woot:

HHG ladies!!:wave:
 
I think I'm about to start weaving it up... I might weave it up now then take it down for Thanksgiving and THEN straighten it out in December (guarantee'd cold weather, no humidity/less frizz...)

Hmmmm....

As for now, I'm in individual braids...

I'm always talkin about what I'm gonna do, but Lord knows I just started my job and don't have money to play around with for hair lol.
 
PS I'm kinda excited because I know my hair is growing! My hair comfortably rests at CBL in individual braids!

:grin:

Still wigging it here. Same regimen: DC weekly, moisturize and seal, chlorella and biotin. I think I should invest in some growth aides.
 
I am sooo happy everyone is doing well. Finally got the new router installed at home so I can get back to my obsessive checking up on you all. =)

Hair wise I have to say I am loving trying new up-do's with my pony tail. I move it around and since I use a hair zing type of thing it's not so close together allowing me to manipulate it a bit more without worrying about pulling or pressure.

I can not wait until this weekend to pamper myself a bit. This move has been a monster. Doing my hair and nails will be a real treat. Since joining a challenge in the Nail Fanatics thread my nails are now .25 of an inch long. I am so excited.

I can't wait for our reveal. It will be the first time I will have used direct heat on my hair in 6 months. I know that I am going to trim a bit so I want it to be as straight as possible when I do. My daughter stretched a bit of it the other night (I always take out my hair zing and let my hair free for a few minutes before twisting it up loosely when I get home). She estimates that I'm .5 of an inch past APL currently which made me grin but I won't claim it until after the new year.

My hair seems a bit more "fly away" to me right now so I am going to start putting grease on my ends to see if that helps.
 
Finally got a recent starting pic... Looks like im currently APL , I hope to be BSL by March 2011

I'm at my 8 week mark for post relaxer and I am so tempted to relax all this new growth. My goal was to relax the weekend of my Bday (Nov 9th), but I'm getting a little impatient and my new growth is a bit unmanageable in the crown. I was half wiggin it, but I was still needing to keep my exposed hair the same texture as the wig which amounted to some direct heat (I will roller set more). Maybe God is telling me something because the hot water boiler broke in my house today...lol. :spinning:
 
I want in...
What's your regimen? Mostly WNG's, since its getting colder I want to wear my hair str8 more often..I need to perfect my roller sets cause I dont want to flat iron it alot..
What Products are you using? Tresemme moisturizig curls, eco styler with olive oil, argan oil and olive oil..those are my staples
What are you specifically doing to achieve BSL in 2011? IDK...I dont think I need to do much other than DC weekly and limit my direct heat...
In what month are you hoping to achieve BSL? I'm hoping by the summer to be @ BSL..
Please include a Starting pic: I will include a starting pic after I str8en today..
 
starting pic..I str8ened my hair for the 2nd time this year..I can never get my roots str8 so I put it in a ponytail...

 
I'd like to join, i'm transitioning though so i have some cutting to do but let's see if i can make it just the same. My hair was APL and i cut about 4 inches of my relaxed hair off so now i have layers between NL and CBL.

What's your regimen? I wash weekly with CON and DC with a protein condish, a moisturizing one and oil, i use whichever my hand catches. I blow dry every wash or every other wash and flat iron for length checks.

What Products are you using? CON condish, Aphogee 2 minute, cholesterol, EVOO, coconut oil, castor oil, motions CPR protein, Keracare Humecto

What are you specifically doing to achieve BSL in 2011? Nightly scalp massages or however often i can manage them.

In what month are you hoping to achieve BSL? I think i'm gonna need the whole year for this one since i have some more cutting to do so i'll say December.

Please include a Starting pic:
I'm going to get my hair evened up on Monday since i just did a rough chop myself so i'll post a starting pic then.

What did you decide to do?

:welcome: Qtee, indarican and Khaiya!
 
I just realized that I never posted a starting pic...I'll try to take one by the end of the week. I know I've made APL, but by how far is the question. I have this nasty W going on. When I last trimmed, it came back again! I'm just going to let it be...I don't even keep my hair out most of the time. Anyway, how is everyone?

I caved and relaxed today with silk elements lye relaxer. I'm so happy that I gained length about an inch for an 8 week stretch and now I am officially SL (not full SL yet). I am so in love with this site and I can't believe that my hair can grow so fast just by taking better care of it. Sorry no pic because my camera is not working right now :(

How's it growing ladies? :D

Hey NikkiQ! I'm 7 weeks post and the new growth is so tough to part. I have had to cut manipulation from little to non so I'm only washing once a week now. I think this stretch will be the most difficult one so far but I may actually gain some length this stretch. :ohwell: :grin:
 
Wearing my hair in a stretched state is really cutting down on SSK. I hope to be full BSL (where my mole is) June 2011.
 
Im tryna figure out styles I can do to leave my hair alone during the week, I really wanna retain as much length as I can, but I just cant get down with protective styling like that:nono:
 
Oh yay I'm excited! I will post a starting pic and all that later today. Right now
I have to get my workout in while my little man is napping.
 
Hi ladies, well i got my cut evened up today so i'll post pics when i cowash, tonight if i have the energy or tomorrow if i'm too tired.
 
What's your regimen?
*I'm new so I'm still trying to figure it all out but for now I shampoo & DC once a week (sit under dryer for a bit).
*Cowash every other day
*Moisturize daily

What Products are you using?
*Generic Nexxus Humectress and Therappe
*Joico Moisture Therapy (DC)
*V05 (cowash)
*Neutrogena Triple Moisture Silk Touch Leave-In Cream (Just started this because of a recommendation and I LOVE it)
*EVOO or EVCO

What are you specifically doing to achieve BSL in 2011?

*Exercise 3-6x/week (depends on the cooperation of my children :lol:)
* I do not eat sugar, potatoes, rice or grains. My protein intake is great and I eat tons of veggies, mostly in the form of a shake.
*Drink lots of water
* I will wear my hair in a bun most days and keep the blow dryer off of it.
* I will stretch my relaxers (haven't had one in about 14 weeks so I think it's time)
* I am trying to learn as much I can from you ladies!

In what month are you hoping to achieve BSL?

I am hoping by my birthday in August. I have really uneven, damaged ends so I will be trimming a bit.

Starting pic:

I think my bra is kinda high compared to everyone else.
