I am rocking my self-made bobraz half wig too. I want to make a straight one to add a little variety to my life...

Ch3ecking in here too!
Currently my hair is in 2 french braids with the ends pinned up to avoid my scarf.
I also went and put some chunky highlights in my hair. So whenever we do out progress report, I'll be able to show!
Also, plan on straightening my hair in the next 2 weeks, probably next week actually. I'll keep the results in mind to see how far I am from my goals...
I STILL feel like I'm about 2 inches from bra strap length... But it depends on the bra, so I guess I'm about an inch from being below my shoulder blades? I don't know... When I'm BSL in ALL bras, I'll claim it lol.

I TOTALLY agree! I have a bra that I swear is nearly MBL and when my hair touches it, I'll claim BSL.

I have been thinking about trying half wigs but I can't find one that looks good (i.e. like my hair) or one that doesn't look too plastic/waxy. What kind did you get?
I'm thinking of trying a 6 month stretch, but I will definitely need something extra in my arsenal...like a trusty half wig

I'm just checking in. I haven't taken pics in ages, but I'm planning to get my hair done end of Nov/ beginning of Dec, so I'll take some then. Stretched, sections of my hair are BSB (I think), but I've been wearing braid-/twist- outs, so I don't know how my ends are looking.
Oh, and I'm doing a fall/winter reggie now (when I can get to it, lol), so that's lots of moisture and no more protein additives to my dc's. I'm sad to see them go... at least I can still use my honeyquat 50.
Here's a question for the relaxed/ texlaxed ladies:
I'm on a no heat reggie, with two passes a season, and I usually only use one (for length checks). The rest of the time, I'm doing various ps's. But my hair is always so dry in the winter that I'm thinking maybe I should be roller-setting (w/o heat) for straightness (so the moisture can flow downward, lol), but that entails possibly, when I'm stretching, having to flat-iron.... right?
So which way should I go: straight/ rollerset or wavy? Flat-iron or not?

^^^Crisco??? would've neve thought of that
Really? there are alot of raves about crisco on here...Its been GREAT as a sealant, but I figured it be to thick to oil rinse with, I mixed a lil with some EVOO to loosen it up, and it worked great, one of my best oil rinses...WaistLengthDreams

I relaxed my hair today. And I did a minor trim. The picture I took was pre-trim, but I only trimmed about a half an inch off the longest layers. I couldn't bring myself to do anymore. 
I'm about an inch and a half away from BSL, i think.
ETA: I can't see the picture and I don't know how to correct it. But it's in my fotki, if anyone's interested.

So I'm back...
Went to get my hair done today at the mall... And she chopped 3 inches of Like really a WHOLE 3 inches... I've gone from an inch above BSL to an APL, which is a good 3-4 inch difference...
I can't complain too much because it looks great and I don't have those horrid ends...
But what looked like BSL by March is now REALLY BSL by December 2011...
Oh well, I'll be back soon to check in... I'll need to stay sane because right now I'm kicking myself for doing that, even IF it looks good lol.

Can i still in? If so i will post my regie and start pic later. Thanks
But of course! You're on the list. Fire away with those posts!
You ladies with your half wigs are so inspiring. I have no skills when it comes to artsy/creative things so I'll leave that to you all but your half wigs looks great.

ImanAderon, I'd like to cosign with what Chasturner84 said. You'll be there in no time AND you will be so happy with the way that you evenly trimmed BSL hair looks. Don't even stress it.

I tried the KimmayTube leave in yesterday and I gotta say....I do notice a huge difference in the softness and moisture retention of my hair! I will be using it more often, although it made my hair take longer to airdry.

Is it too late for me to join? I plan on P.S. the majority of the time and buying a wig or weave when I get bored and/or feel the need to be "cute". I invested in cute accessories and that helped me with protective styling alot this summer.
