UPDATE: I updated a while back with pics of my hair reaching BSL. Well now that I'm here, I don't know what else to really update with so I'll be here to cheer people on. Thanks everyone for the support and for this thread, I don't think I could've made it without the push from LHCF. :grin: Happy hair growing everyone.
 
I am 5 mos post and will probably go to 7 mos.
As I washed and did an overnight D/C and I think I am BSL now but only claim it after my relaxer and trim.

Goal for 2011 i s MBL
 
Update: I'm in love with my Apple Cider Vinegar + rosemary, lavender and peppermint oil rinse!:grin: On my last wash day I got my hair straightened and I can see the retention! I've always had scalp problems but never could find out what was wrong and it prevented me from retaining length consistently, but when I started paying attention to my pH balance and using my ACV rinse my hair felt cleaner when I washed it and my scalp was so much better. So I'm very happy with where I'm at right now!:yep:

Recently celebrated my 1 year natural anniversary and got a trim. I'm past APL and inching toward BSL:

Hello ladies, just checking in again. I am still cowashing my sulfur out every morning and then putting my hair away in a wig/half wig. I finally went and purchased the Tammy wig and I must say I am in love with it because it matches my new growth pretty good for the most part! :lachen:

I think this will make my stretch even easier now that I have it. I am 18 weeks post tomorrow. Shoot, I will probably go and buy a few more of them since I like the way it looks on me! Also, I DC'D with The One N Only Argan Oil Restorative Mask and I looove it! It has my hair feeling soooo smooth and moisturized. I'm going to stock up on this as well.

Aireen, Congrats on making BSL!!! :grin:
 
I've been MIA. I'm inches from BSL...still in need of trim so I won't be claiming BSL anytime soon but hopefully by the end of the year.
 
Cross-posted in apl 2011 and bsl 2011.

I had a serious trim today. I got the ends cut into a really blunt, crisp cut.

I really like it, and now I'm finally feeling comfortable about claiming full shoulder length.
Next stop apl!

Hhj ladies. :)

Hi Ladies,

I don't think that I checked in last month so here is a mini update from march - I cut an inch off of my ends and wore my hair in twists washing my hair once a week.

Here is my monthly check in.
Since starting this challenge (3 months ago?), I've been wearing my hair in
small-medium twists for up to one month. I have not used heat and I wash my hair once a week.
Tomorrow I'll be taking out my twists and wearing a different style for the week. I'll twist my hair during the easter holidays.

I need to step up the everyday head massages with JBCO

Happy hair growing ladies. We will get there :-)
 
My stylist wanted to trim my hair but she is a bit heavy handed so I don't want her too. When/if I go back in June to get my hair flat-ironed, I am thinking about going to a supercuts or something to let them do it.

prettyhair73 Go to SuperCuts! They actually trim! :yep:

Besides, if you're having doubts about your stylist being heavy handed with the scissors, that is your sign to not let her do it!
 
Doing good, I have some henna on my head as I type and sitting under my conditioning cap letting it marinate. After taking this out I will be doing a DC and putting in my curlformers. I may come back with a picture later.....
 
Just got out the shower & its Playoff Sunday I'm feeling good...

My hair was in 6 big braids, but I noticed it made my halfwig look funny so I just did them over into four braids and put some Tea Tree Oil on them. Now they are wrapped up. I'll put my wig on in a minute, before I get company and they look at me all crazy....

I want a straight hair weave for Easter so I will look into that this week...
 
I haven't been on for AWHILE but I think I made BSL or close?? I wasn't expecting to reach it this soon but I just happened to check the length because I was bored. :grin:
Am I just imagining it???
