BSL by Dec 2011

Yay we are in June. 6 months down, and 6 months to go. If I don't have any setback from this point on, I will be able to make it to BSL by December.

I had a relaxer yesterday after 10 weeks and it didnt go so well, usually I relax up 10 12-19 weeks, but this time, I relaxed early and for some reason my hair came out so underprocessed, and my scalp burnt so much. The lady didnt use a comb and just rubbed the relaxer on my scalp, i burnt so much that my hair is stuck together and I have to wash them to unstuck them. :nono:

Anywho, here is where I am as of June 13, 2011

I would switch stylists, bestblackgirl. Rubbing relaxer into your scalp? She doesn't know what she's doing. You're supposed to limit relaxer exposure to the scalp as much as possible. Since you have scalp burns I suggest KeraCare Dry & Itchy Scalp Conditioner, it should be in a white bottle with red and black writing. Apply to the scalp and leave on for 20 minutes, it really helps my sores and burns even after the first use, especially after using it consistently.
 
I already took my length pictures for June and I must say I'm proud of my hair is it taking longer than I wanted but I'm closer to BSL than I have ever been...

I figure before I put my weave in for the summer I do a protein treatment, use a good conditioner, also use a leave in. During the summer is when I get the most growth, so I will take extra care of this weave and my hair. I need to be BSL by the end of the year because I want to take my graduation pictures without a weave in.
 
Aireen, Yea I'm thinking about it. The thing is that I am moving to go to school at the end of August and I started seeing this stylist close to where I will be living based on a friend's recommendation. What I am hoping for is to find a stylist here on LHCF who is from around Spring valley NY or something. I thought I saw a post like this of this new hair salon opening up there like last year, Im trying to find it. But yes I am plan to.
 
Congrats to all of the ladies who made BSL in June (so far)!!!!

I'm just updating--I've been slacking :nono:(new job, new apt, new semester!!!)... I took my kinky twists out last Sat and tried KCCC this week... Meh! :ohwell: I'm going to try it again, but it's not all that and a bag of chips just yet! My longest layers, in the back, is about an inch from BSL!!! I do have one strand that's BSL--I know, I know...I can't claim it!:drunk::lachen:

Good luck everyone!!!!!!
 
Ok, I may be jumping the gun (newly APL), but perhaps this will motivate me to up my moisturizing and PSing game. I think I might be 3-4 inches away from the top of BSL. Let's see how much I can grow AND retain for the next 5.5 months. :drunk:

What's your regimen?
MT/OCT 2x/week (while in cornrows)
Moisturize & seal daily
DC weekly

What Products are you using?
Mega-Tek/OCT
Jojoba Oil
Grapeseed Oil
Giovanni
Aubrey Organics (new for me)

What are you specifically doing to achieve BSL in 2011?
No heat, low-manipulation, weekly DC, and consistent moisturizing.

In what month are you hoping to achieve BSL?
Hopefully by 11:59pm on Dec 31, 2011. :grin:
 
Ladies that are doing June reveals for other challenges don't forget to stop by here and upload your pictures :grin:, even if you haven't made BSL yet we wanna see some progress pictures :spinning: :spinning: :spinning:


:yep:7 days until June 30th, that leaves us with 6 more months to make BSL ladies:yep:
 
checking in:

I did a braidout on Monday (or Sunday night? lol) and it came out really nice! the only braidout I've ever liked on me, but it may have something to do w/ the red color. Anywho...I plan to take a length check pic next weekend since I'm staying away from the flat iron the rest of this month.
 
For a while I was torn between staying/maintaining at APL and continuing on to BSL and longer. It seemed like everytime I got close to BSL something always happened and I had to trim. Well, I figured out what was wrong.........I'm really inconsistent with my hair. I'll do really well for a few days and get lazy, no ps'ing, no dc's and no m/s. So now I've decided to completely change my reggie to something that's less time consuming, that way I won't get lazy (hopefully). Wish me luck!!!!!
 
Well I've been away for a while now! I'm currently 4 months prego and looking to stretch my relaxer as long as possible. Last relaxer was in Early May... and my roots are CRAZY! Thinking of getting a silk infusion on my hair to help stretch my relaxer for the next 5 months... Also have thought of full sew-ins as well.... Currently grazing APL :) Baby's due Dec. 8th so hopefully I'll be almost BSL by then :)

What's a silk infusion? Is that related to a keratin treatment? Goodluck on the pregnancy and belated congrats!
 
3 more weeks left in my 10 week stretch... really excited to see how close I am to achieving BSL.

Crossing my fingers for an inch of growth, that would leave me with an inch and half to go until BSL.
 
Week 1: 7 days of my weave:

After 7 days I finally oiled my hair, I used Dr. Miracle spot intensive serum (trying to use up all my products) it has peppermint oil in it so it has a nice smell. I also used JBCO on my edges and they are coming along.

My track is already slipping so I need to get the fixed ughhh.
 
I had twists in last week and I decided to do a little length check because I haven't since I colore my hair. So here goes. Pics of the front length which is about an inch past my collar bone. I think I was 2 in from BSL in the back (still have 6months so I should be good).

I just made APL a few weeks ago so I think it's time for me to start lurking in this thread :look: :grin:

I want to make BSL by Dec 2011 and then concentrate on thickness for my graduation in May 2012.
 
First time I've posted pics in any thread :look:

Relaxed on Thursday at a little over 4months post relaxer.
I hope to stretch for the next 6 months till dec.

Yes I know my ends look kinda special but I'm going with
the lead hairs theory till dec. Especially since the ends
are not damaged. If it doesn't fill in by then and
my hair is BSL then I'll give it a nice blunt cut :)

The longest layers are actually a tiny bit past BSL
but I can't claim it yet.

First pic before relaxer, second after

Love your hair color!
 
Just started flat ironing my hair and my bottom layer is finally close to BSB! One day, ladies... one day.

I'm in this challenge, but haven't made APL yet. Hopefully, I'll make it soon so I can skidaddle on over this way!
