I haven't kept up with this thread at all. *bad*

I had planned to reach BSL by like february or march, but thats NOT gonna happen.
So I finally accepted that and I also came to terms with the fact that I need to cut off some of this heat damage. The hair that is heat damaged is so brittle and dry...ugh...I need to let some of it go so I can actually retain length and achieve healthy hair. *Big Sigh*

so my hope of being MBL by graduation is no longer...now I am just going to hope I am going to be BSL by the end of May and MBL by the end of the year.

But I wish everyone the best in 2011, may your hair grow to its fullest potential :)

Sign me up please. I'm grazing APL and intend to reach full BSL by December 2011. I will modify my regimen a bit this year and go back to basic things I did two years ago. Less direct heat, more scalp treatments and massages, joico kpak monthly on my roots, and more deep conditioning. I relax every 8 weeks or so with Phyto and will resume the Phyto supplement and garlic pills as soon as my order comes in. My year end photo is in my sigi.
 
PICK ME, PICK ME. I want to join! I will post a picture later on when I wash! My hair is really short but i am determined to be BSL by Dec!:grin:
Here's my pic taken today

Quick update:
Still in braids. I did my first wash this past weekend, it went pretty well. I still have 5 more weeks in this install... I really feel like taking it out now, lol. However, I know that if I do I'm going to end up relaxing and that's a no no.
