@mzsophisticated26 You did a good job with the trim. If you don't make BSL this year, I think you'll be really close either way. So, I'm glad you're sticking it out with us!

@againstallodds, Your self-relaxer came out great! Thanks for sharing the pics with us.

@ojemba, :congrats: on BSL!!! :bouncy: :trophy: Any chance we can get a sneak peak at that lovely BSL hair? :lick:

thanks! A stylist at JCPenny did the trim. yeah I am gonna stick it out. I am gonna try to order some hairfinity or nioxin vitamins to see if that would boost my growth rate some.
 
I chose to do a sow-in weave to protect my hair for the summer. I used Bohyme egyptian wave. This is how I plan on wearing my Hair for the next 3 months.

Checking in! :grin:
This was my hair on April 29th. It is curled under in the pic, but I was having quite a time with the camera phone, so this will have to suffice for the time being. I may straighten my hair again at the end of May, (I doubt it highly) but if I don't, the next length check will be in September. I can't entertain straightening my hair, and the finicky Ohio weather reverts it 15 minutes later. :nono:

Please excuse the reverting edges! Makes my hairline look bananas...:look:
 
hey ladies!

how's everybody doing?

i'm just checking in.......rather underwhelmed.....i did my self perm yesterday and after 5 months of stretching, i must say, i expected my hair to be a bit further down my back.:perplexed

i doesn't seem like it's grown at all since i hit BSL in february.
boo hoo....blah...ugh!:sad:

but it does seem like it's filled in alot and the sides are growing...looking like they want to catch up with my nape.

i trimmed some of my nape lead hairs though.:look:

i really wanted to post new updatd pics, but the only difference is that it's below the bone of my siggy pic to the right, but no big deal.:ohwell:

looks like i'm stuck at BSL for now.....:blush:

come on summer growth spurt!!!!!!!!:yep::spinning::grin::drunk::rolleyes:

hhj ladies!
 
Grow I know how you feel, But like all the ladies on here will tell you patience, patience, patience is the #1 growth aid. I've felt like giving up when I taught that my hair wasn't moving. I'm sure your hair is lovely and the fact that it's fulling out is great!!!!!. We are going to make MBL this year - BELIEVE THAT!!!!!

Healthy Hair growing to you and have a blessed day.

Sooo...I've been bunning (more or less) for the past several weeks and the other day decided to stretch my hair and see how much long my nape has to go...and it seemed like only an inch to go!!!!!:yay: I'm going to have to get someone else to hold my hair and take the pic though to make sure I wasn't dreaming....:rolleyes: But that means that I should be BSL by the end of the summer...as long as I keep treating my hair good!!!!!

Great job to all the ladies making it!!!:grin: HHG to all!!!
 
EbonyCPrincess - I started hiding my hair to minimize acne flare ups so it wasn't even about growth in the early stages of my hide. I joined the HYH Challenge last year around June to learn neat styles. Over the past year I've worn a protective style of some kind pretty much 7 days a week. Mainly buns.

I just started taking nioxin pills just 1 a day! I'm only on day 7 so I plan to take them for 90 days and see if I have any mind blowing results :grin: or any results at all :yep:.

I did a length check before I started taking my pills...

This is my new hairstyle for the next few weeks...

May Check-in: Not much going on with me. I am still in braids (no extensions) because (1) I wear them as a protective style, (2) I don't have time to do my hair constantly in law school, and (3) I am in the braid it up challenge. I have been redoing my braids one-by-one when I feel like one is looking messy. I think that I am closing in on BSL, but I will not check until the end of the summer.

However, what I have realized is that I cannot get an accurate length check by just pulling a piece of my hair straight while it is in its natural state. I was doing that last year and getting a little upset because I felt like my hair was not really growing and then I go home to straighten it and, lo and behold, I have all this length. Are there any other naturals who can only truly tell the length by straightening their hair with some heat?
 
I just placed an order w/ Claudie for the Scalp Elixir. Last week my longest strands were about an inch from BSB :woot:. Since I already posted a pic of my hair when I joined last month, I'll try to wait another month or so to post another.

I know this was BIG on BHM a couple years ago, although I don't see too many people using it anymore. I'm anxious to see your progress with it because I'm going to be using a sulfur aid also.

EbonyCPrincess Thanks! :)

I guess I've been on LHCF so long, I question everything before I claim it lol

I'm glad you like my blog! I really want it to be informative and to just show people my journey from when I cut it. It was really a trial and error period for me b/c not everyone starts their journey from really short hair and if I can help or inspire others..so much the better!

I searched here and BHM for reviews & pictures and just like you said, majority of the posts were from a few years ago. I really wanted to try a topical sulphur product that wasn't too heavy (or too expensive) and didn't require me to mix it myself. What type of sulphur aid will you be using?
 
Sorry I haven't checked in for a while ladies....

What are you ladies doing to get to your goal? I am starting to wonder if BSL is going to happen this year. I just did a pretty significant trim, it hurt to do it, but I think it was necessary. Part of me wished I didn't though:perplexed

Before and after the trim.

In the after pics, my hair was starting to revert at the roots, so that contibutes to the difference in length also.
 
Ok so I got my hair braided about a month ago and my braids were hanging down to APL. I think that is a good sign that my hair is at least grazing BSL. I still have exactly 2 weeks until I can officially know. *gets excited*
