BSL by Dec 2011

aefc11c3-73a8-db54.jpg

So I would love to begin this challenge, I know I'm late. I am not sure if I'm APL length yet, what do you think?

My regimen is wash/set weekly with either protein or DC. I preepoo with coconut oil.
Moisturize with glycerin and Redken antisnap. Or elastin Mango butter.
I have no protective styles I wear my hair down everyday. Any suggestions?
 
I checked my hair this morning before I twisted it. I'm full APL and on my way to BSL. When I measured I have about 3, maybe 3.5 inches before I reach the top of my bra. I may flat iron a few pieces in the back later this week so I can see better.
 
Hubby took my recent pic and I'm closer than before. I used some Loc Butter that produced a lot more knots so I'll see how my hair is after I wash it. Anywho, here's my progress and I like it :-) HHG ladies!

I think you are definitely APL! If you don't have any issues retaining length wearing your hair down everyday, don't fix what's not broken! If you do want to PS - you have enough length to do some very cute and creative updos and buns.

Your ends look INCREDIBLE! I'm not a fan of blunt cuts on me but I love this look. Its making me want to do a major trim in September!

I am so late on this thread but I will join. Better late than never. I am back at APL after chopping of a few inches. With the way things are going I hope to make BSL in December via PS, proper deep conditioning and moisturising. Fingers crossed!
 
Haven't done a length check since March to see where I'm at. I will probably go another few weeks w/out getting it flat ironed. I did pull a few strands down and they were at BSL so it'll be interesting to see how it looks when it's all pressed out.

Your highlights in your siggy are beautiful:grin:. What do you do to take care of your relaxed, colored tresses? I'm about to be in the same boat and need a regimen for double processed hair.:spinning:

the second picture is my hair at the beginning of my journey at EL

shasha8685 Okay I know I'm not in this challenge, but I just had to say your hair is GORGEOUS! You look maybe an inch away from BSL. You got that by the end of the summer!! :yep:
 
Hi everybody! I would like to join this challenge if possible. I just joined the forum today after 1 year of lurking. I just want to thank everybody for helping me grow my hair to APL, which is the longest its ever been. I hope to make BSL by December. Here is my starting pic
