awwww, that is sooooo sweet!

thank you, i'm honored and wish you lived in milan so we could hang out together like real friends, too, honey bunny!
 
Hope it's not too late for me to join!! My original goal was to be BSL by the end of this year, but if it doesn't happen I'll give myself more time and this challenge would be great!:yep:

What's your regimen?
I alternate between braids and flat ironing and wash every other week.

What products are you using?
Tentative & subject to change:
-Kenra Volumizing Shampoo
-Kenra Clarifying Shampoo
-Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Breakage Defense Shampoo & Conditioner
-Pantene Relaxed & Natural Moisturizing Shampoo
-Pantene Relaxed & Natural Moisturizing Conditioner (I alternate conditioners as needed)
-Pantene Relaxed & Natural Daily Moisturizer

What specifically are you doing to achieve BSL in 2011?
-taking vitamins (I was already taking them for health reasons then I found out they help for hair growth so I have another incentive lol:lachen:)
-keeping my hair off my shoulders by bunning etc. whenever possible
-making sure my hair is moisturized at all times
-DC-ing every 2 weeks

In what month are you hoping to achieve BSL?
The end of the summer of 2011 but I'm trying to be patient lol!

My hair's in braids right now but I will post one as soon as I can.

I would like to join. Please sign me on. This challenge will help me stay on track to my goals. I will post my starting pic and regimen this weekend.
 
I'm in!

What's your regimen?
It changes based on products or whatever style I might be wearing, but my basic reggie is washing and DC'ing on Sundays and co-washing on Wednesdays. Sometimes I DC on Wednesdays too, if I am feeling particularly steamer-hungry. I moisturize as needed - don't usually seal since I've found that it hasn't really helped me and I hate leaving oil stains on my linens. I clarify when necessary. I do amla treatments when I want stronger and more moisturized hair.
What Products are you using?
Bee Mine Ayurvedic Herb Poo Bar, Bee Mine Rhassoul Clay Clarifying Bar, V05 Conditioner for Co-Wash, and DCs are constantly changing since I am still working to find and narrow it down to one. Donna Marie Miracurl Detangler as a leave-in (love) and Donna Marie Moisture Mist/Bee Mine Luscious Balanced Cream to moisturize. Still trying to find my perfect twist-out/braid-out product but experimenting with Bee Mine Bee Hold Curly Butter, MJ Baby Buttercreme, and Fleurtzy Curl Nurture Cream. Lots of coconut, olive, and Nyle oils and Hesh powders.
What are you specifically doing to achieve BSL in 2011?
Hide Your Hair Challenge until the end of this year. Next year, I will be doing more wigs and bunning. Barely any heat and low manipulation as much as possible.
In what month are you hoping to achieve BSL?
I am aiming to get to APL by December (though I am thinking I will get there in October, but I will just go based on getting there by December), and since I am so short, APL and BSL are only about 2" apart and I get .5" each month, my goal is to get there by May, just in case I need to get a trim when I straighten in January.

My starting pic is attached and was taken on 7/22


BTW: NikkiQ - you ARE a challenge junkie!!!! :lachen:

I want in too. I'm in too many challenges but I don't care. I give myself July of 2011 to get there.
 
I'm in!

What's your regimen? Creme of Nature (coconut), LeKair Carrot or Mango Chlorlesterol, Infusium 23 and Parnevu Leave in conditioner. I wash every other day - deep condition with LeKair in the shower, wrap my hair in a towel after saturation with Infusium 23. Let set for 10 minutes, then a generous application of Parnevu. I usually let my hair airdry and curl on special occasions (i am in school fulltime, and other than a few professors, there's no one to impress)

What Products are you using? Sometimes Pantene touchable hold hairspray. Other than that, nothing...

What are you specifically doing to achieve BSL in 2011? Drinking more water, improved diet (less meat, more veggies), more cardiac activities.

In what month are you hoping to achieve BSL?Probably December? I think once I get past this "hair plateau", it should really be on the grow!

My avatar is my current length - and that is from bald last May (with a couple of significant haircuts).

In what month are you hoping to achieve BSL?Hopefully by Dec 2011
 
I'm 6" away. I two strand twisted the section I took my measurement with but, it only makes a .5" difference at most which really won't kill me. I can't wait for my next length check :giggle: I want BSL for christmas...but APL will be equally exciting...even though shrinkage and awkward combination 3/4 hair won't make seeing that progress easy lol

We got this ladies!! :weird:
 
Checking in:

I have burns from my last relaxer that are driving me crazy which makes it hard for them to heal. I washed my hair yesterday with Motions Neutralizing Shampoo and conditioned with HE HH, HE LTR, and EVOO - my hair smells yummy. :lick: No longer wrapping my hair for a while, I would like to give my edges a long, overdue break. Now it's a twisted bun protected with a net that creates nice waves in the morning, I have to remember to be careful with my ends though. :look:

ETA: Also trying to remember to take my vitamins as much as possible. Oh and I really want to buy avocado this weekend to try on my hair in my conditioner, someone else in another thread was raving about it so I'll come back to update and review with the results after. :lick:
 
I will be bunning and using scurl for the entire month so I can reach APL and then move on to the BSB challenge. APL has been a challenge for me, I made SL Aug 2009 and still have not reached APL.
 
Bumping to see how the challengers are doing? :hiya:

And to see if anyone else is interested in getting to BSL in 2011???? Any takers? :bump:


My Update:
I've been keeping up with my regimen. I cowashed the last two hair days (once to do a twistout and the other into a bun). I'll be keeping that bun until Saturday when I do my pre-relaxer wash. And I'll probably relax Tuesday or Wednesday. If all goes according to plan, I'll be officially claiming APL :gorgeous:, graduating from the APL by Dec 2010 challenge :cup: and posting my starting picture for this challenge! So exciting! :woot::woot:
 
^^ congrats, IntheMix! I hope to be having my APL party in October.
I'm still juicing my braids twice a day under my half-wig. :)

Congrats girl! Can't wait to see your progress!!! I'm still in crochet braids and have one more week to go before I take them out and 2 weeks before I get my relaxer. I hope to be graduating with you and praying that I'm close to full APL by Dec. :rolleyes:
 
I would love to join if still possible. BSL may be optimistic but I'll try my absolute best!

What's your regimen?
I will be co-washing 3xs per week and clarifying 1x per month. DC with steam once per week.
wet bunning daily until it is too cold to continue when I will be dry bunning. I am in a HYH challenge right now.

What Products are you using?

Paul Mitchell tea tree shampoo to clarify
Sauve moisturizing shampoo to cowash
coconut oil, ecostyle gel (the green one),
What are you specifically doing to achieve BSL in 2011?
I will be significantly reducing heat, hiding my hair, using steam to deep condition, and deep conditioning frequently.
In what month are you hoping to achieve BSL?

I am going to say April. I am going to need a serious trim so that will be a slight set back. I'd love to hit that mark by January but April will work.
