BSL by Dec 2011

Since my relaxer I have been just doing a messy bun....After my exam I will wear it out, either str8 or curlformers.
Using Aloe vera juice and sealing with hot six oil.

I will be lurking this thread. I did a touch-up today and realized I'm getting closer to my BSL goal (siggy). I'm hoping for full BSL by December. I plan to wear my hair down a bit more from now on though. My friends have had it with my bun lol!!!!
 
Hello...Just checking in.

I ended up trimming this week to give myself a fresh start. I only trimmed about C of hair off of each of my twists which I have been wearing for a few days now. I've been keeping my twists pinned up in a bun. I plan on keeping these in for a few weeks. Earlier this week I had my hair in 2 large flat twists with the ends pinned under.
 
Checking in.

I'm less than 2" from BSL!! I was hoping to get there before May 15, which is my 2 year anniversary of chopping my hair to EL but I don't know if I'm going to make it. It's only 2 months away.

Well even if I don't make it then I'll make it sometime this summer.
 
I've been lurking this thread, but not posting because I have nothing to contribute. Still in a full sew in, with only a little perimeter and a small 'U' in the center out. I'm about to do my bi-weekly (sometimes wkly) wash and DC in a few moments. I'm enjoying the hell outta this hair. Everyone's hair looks great, I honestly think we're all gonna make it by at least Dec 31st!
 
Just henna'd last night and did an overnight DC. I feel as if I am not growing at all! Maybe I am thinking about it too much. But I did expect to be further along than I am. Oh well, I know i will make it! HHG!:grin::grin:

This pic is from valentines day. I feel like I am at the same point as my December length check in my siggy.:nono:

Poppin' in!

My computer has a virus so I'm going to be checking in on my phone until I can get that fixed! I'm still going strong with my MT and sulfur mix. I have upped my water intake for added moisture, but I still need to drink more... I should be getting my Hairveda products Monday (crossing fingers).

The only thing I am needing help with is PSs! I work full-time and go to school full-time and that leaves limited time for me to do my hair; however, my twists don't last more than 5 days! I want a style that allows me to be lazy (I know that sounds bad), without weaves or wigs. If you can suggest anything, I would greatly appreciate it!

HHG ladies! You are all an inspiration!!!

I love hearing your updates, they are always so inspirational for me :yep:

Pictures please :yay:
 
THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP LADIES!!!!

Now that I have a lot of wonderful information on how to grow my hair, I'm going to start using diiferent approach to growing my hair (meaning I'm going to lay off on braids and weaves until the winter).

With that being said I went out & got some Nexxus Emergencee for my protein & the Nexxus Humectress for moisturizing. I also got a little hooded dryer. Then I got some Hot 6 oil.

I still have my weave in. I'm only 1 week in & I plan to keep it in for 4 weeks. Thats gives me enough time to think of other hair styles. Today I'm washing & conditioning with Carson Soft Sheen Weave Care products.

Way to start on real hair growth journey :grin: :grin: :grin:!!!!

I feel the exact same way! I feel like my hair is still where it was back in December. But then I figured, heck it should be since I did a massive search and destroy and trim. I put my hair in crochet braids, and I am going to stop worrying so much for the next 3 months.

I will wash, condition, and moisturize though.
 
Checking in for March: I am not rebraiding for this month like I intended so I don't how well I am coming along. However, I do have new growth and my braids have definitely gotten longer even with the extreme shrinkage, so I think I am well on my way. I will give something more definitive the next time I rebraid. HHG
 
after a fresh relaxer all of feel like doin is DC'n my hair every day for some reason.....eh well for now i'll just try to stay out of my hair so much....
 
After nine months on my hair journey I have finally made my first goal! I am now full APL inching my way to BSL!!! I originally said I wanted to hit BSL by Dec but now I'm thinking August.

The first two pics are from the end of January and the last picture was taken the beginning of March after a 1-2 inch trim.

I haven't used heat on my hair since Dec '10 so I've been doing nothing but air drying. I have a bit of new growth with varying degrees of shrinkage so my relaxed ends look so uneven and thin. I hope that I haven't experienced a set and that it's just the mind game that new growth plays during long stretches. I only do my length checks by gently pulling on my hair and it seems that BSL is closer than I think but I just I won't know for sure until I relax in June. A good trim is definitely in my future but I don't think it with stop me from making BSL this year.
 
Lets see if my updated signature shows

ETA: As you can see, BSL is a long ways away :look:

Hoping for BSB by December :yep:

Here's a shoddy pic from my cell phone. I rollerset my hair the other day so I straightened the back just for you ma'am! :grin: I'll try to get a better pic after my rollerset relaxes a bit. Right now it curls all the way back to SL.

I feel so special :kiss:

You look so much closer in that pic than in your siggy :blush:
When was that trim? Is the bra strap up farther?
In person, my hair looks so much closer than what is looks like in the picture. In some of the pictures I took, that I didn't post up, my bra looks realllly low :ohwell:

I have hope that by dec. my hair will be at BSB *shrugs*
 
Okay yall so I just pulled my hair that is slightly stretched from curlformers and it touched my bra. I am not sure if I should trust it yet though. I will not believe it until I see it straightened. Since I am currently in another country without my beloved chi it looks like it will be another long 2.5 months. grrrr

My siggy pic was in January and notice the ends on that pic were beveled under, unlike this pic. This bra is thicker but I've gained a little over an inch in almost 2 months. I average a little over .5" per month so that's right on target for me.

I've got just under 2" on my other bra. I'll post a better pic later this week so you can really tell the difference.

I will be DC in a few with some left over DC from last week and I will be adding Giovanni and some Emergencee..... I am going to try to dust my hair sometimes this week or so.....

After my relaxer I have been doing good with M&S my hair daily, my hair feels so dang on good.
 
Hey ladies it's been forever and a day! I seeing every1 is doing well still about 2.5 inches from reaching BSL im hoping to make it by sept! Ive air drying, protective styling and wearing my hair I'll be back in a sew by June ;-)
 
I am trying to hold off on straightening my hair until late April...the last time I straightened my hair in Jan. 2011 and I did a trim (I haven't done one of those since my BC in Feb 2010.) I'm about APL. BSL seems like such a mission, but I'm ready to conquer!
 
I straightened today! I have a lot of length in the back...Pic doesn't do it justice. I can really see the difference when I look in the mirror. I'm keeping it down until Sunday then that's it. Back to bizness!!
