I'm hoping to be BSL by December too.
But I've been really scissor happy these past few months. :ohwell: I need to stop if I wanna make it.
 
I've been trying on ALL my bras to see which one I want to measure with :lol:

I never realized how low they really sit :nono:

When I claim BSL i'm going to claim MBL too :look:

Hey BSL 2011'ers,
I have not posted in a while either but I am still in this challenge and trying to reach my goal. I recently straightned my hair and decided that it was time for a minor trim (even though it ended up being not so minor & I didn't mind). I am still wearing lace wigs on a daily basis and keeping my hair braided and moisturized underneath. I do not comb my hair for several days at a time and that has worked best for me. I have recorded a couple of snippets of me trimming my hair on my blog if you care to see some of my length progress, I still have a ways to go.
 
I'd like to join!! I was overly ambitious and joined the MBL Challenge first :look:....and I've already had a minor set-back.

What's your regimen? relax every 12-16 weeks. wash & deep condition weekly. protein treatment bi-weekly. moisturize & seal, then air-dry. flat iron or use Curlformers to style. apply JBCO/PPO mix to scalp 3 days per week.

What Products are you using? KeraCare Moisturizing Sulfate-free Hydrating Detangling Shampoo, KeraCare Humecto Creme Conditioner, Aphogee 2-Min Recon., Infusium 23 Leave-In, NTM Silk Touch Leave-In, Mizani Coconut Soufflé, Chi Silk Infusion.

What are you specifically doing to achieve BSL in 2011? Low manipulation & protective styles. My nape grows a lot slower than the rest of my hair so I'm not going to use ponytail elastics for the remainder of the year. I use banana clips & a Magic Bun to wear it up.

In what month are you hoping to achieve BSL? no specific time

Starting pic: currently 9 weeks post. (pls excuse the dirty mirror :blush:)

Wow, I haven't checked in for a while but I'm still trying to reach BSL. Two days ago I took off 1-2 inches of crazy ends. I haven't relaxed since Dec but I plan to in June(for my 30th b-day). I plan to be BSL at that point.
 
Haven't been in here in a while, but even though I don't see progress, I feel like my hair is progressing. I'm not so frustrated with it as I was a month and a half ago.

I think the ApHogee 2 minute reconstructor has something to do with it. It's been helping my brittle highlighted hair.

I hope to be BSL by the end of the year and hopefully I get a good growth spurt this summer!

hello my fellow bsl chasers! I've been hiding my hair in buns for what seems like forever. I flat ironed my hair yesterday and have been checking out my length in the mirror. I think it's definitely grown since December. I'm very excited to see any progress because winter months are typically not good for me and hair growth. Also, I'm currently 9 weeks and aiming 20 weeks (June 30th HYH challenge end date). So far so good, but longest stretch was 16 weeks, so wish me luck ladies.

:welcome: dollface0023 and MsKikiStar!!! I'll be adding you to the list! Keep us updated! :grin::grin:

You should put this in the thread about things you now do since joining LHCF lol! Seriously, instead of dreaming of being naked in public, you go to SL.
Gotta love this place.

I don't think I'll make BSL this year...I've decided to cut my hair for graduation. I was really hoping to be BSL by graduation and since thats not going to happen, I am just going to get a cute hair style for graduation and summer instead...and also focus on the health of my hair versus mainly length.

so I am going to get a bob hair cut and dye my bangs a reddish/orangish color I had before. My hair still has a lot of heat damage ends that are about 5-6 inches long...with this hair cut I'll probably be getting rid of about 3 inches of it which is great IMO. So instead of being APL I'll be a little passed shoulder length.

here's the look I am going for (shorter in the back, longer in the front):

Good day ladies

My update: I am so close. I got an weave install last week. I'm hoping to keep for 10 weeks. Hopefuly I'll be there when I take it out. I am in the HYH challenge so I'm only measuring the back, which has always been the thinest area. So I'm really satisfied that it looks this good.

A watched pot really doesn't boil.

Yesterday was the most anti-climatic relaxer day update ever. Hair looks like it's at the same length it was in March but with a more U shape. I'm gonna have to hide me hair so I'm not in it all the time.


Left pic is March (hair was flat ironed), right pic is April (relaxer day)

:sigh:

ETA: I take that back. My hair has grown some. I think most of the progress can be seen in the rest of my hair trying to catch up to the longest length..hence the U shape :yep:

Hey Ladies,

Today I co-washed my hair, I decided to not get a weave so I get a mo-hawk with my hair.

I totally like how my hair is looking my ponytails are getting longer and longer...
 
I am still in my weave, its only been about 2wks and I am ready to take it out...lol..I have been really lazy and only washed my hair one time with no DC since I had my weave. I usually wash and DC weekly. I have stayed on top of moisturizing my hair 3 times a week with african royal brx spray and CHI keratin mist. Before I got my weave installed it seem like my hair is the same length as my Dec siggy pic. I am gonna need a major trim when I take the weave out so I may be cutting all my progress. I have not had a trim since last July
 
Last night I literally had a dream about my hair! In my dream I was WL, so this tells me I need to step my hair care game up!

I'm in need of a scalp massage though because it's dry and itchy (but not flaky). So I need some good oils on my scalp and some good moisture for my hair!

Currently about 15 braids and those braids are in a bun.
 
Decided to check in. I washed and DC'ed overnight on Thursday night. Friday, I airdried and flat ironed with my new Conair steam iron. I have to say that my hair has NEVER felt this way after straightening unless it was rollerset. It is sooooo soft! I love it! It's definitely a staple.

Anywho, I pin-curled my hair overnight so my hair is nice and soft and slightly curly at the ends. I am also proud to say that I have a few strands of hair BARELY touching BSL when I pull it down. I think I'll claim it in December though, when I'm REALLY there. :grin:
 
I just washed and cond my sew in. I sprayed my braids and weave with CHI keratin mist, elasta qp h two spray. I suppose to roll my hair with caruso steam rollers tomorrow
 
Checking in:
Today is supposed to be my wash day, but I ended up washing Thursday night because my scalp was itching like crazy. It feels strange not having to do my hair. :ohwell:
 
I want to join! :wavey:
