BSL by Dec 2011

I have fallen off on this challenge. I thought making BSL was no longer possible because of the set backs I had earlier this year (including a cut in May)...but my hair has surprised me. I have has amazing growth in the last few months. My left side and back are about an inch from BSL...my right side is about 2 inches. So I am thinking I still have a chance to make it by December :)
 
I told myself I wasn't going to length check until December... but I was bored yesterday... and the mirror was right in front of me, soooooooooooooooooooo I did it :look:

I'm not claiming BSL yet though! :nono: I'll claim BSL once my hair hits the bottom of my bra. I wasn't even excited after I saw the picture, haha. I must be crazy :spinning::drunk: because I've been chasing BSL for what feels like ages, and now excitement is no where to be found. I promise I'll get excited once I hit the bottom of the bra, promise! lol

Also, i'm 6 weeks post.

I have one piece of hair that I am not trimming, it is an inch or two from BSL. Swear to God when it reaches BSL, even if I cut the rest to TWA, I am claiming BSL lol.

BSL is so elusive, and something I never even thought to consider until now. Seems like I keep getting knots and cutting the rest of my hair to APL. Unless I get a growth spurt, I am going to have to use this one piece of hair to prove to myself that I can have longer hair.

My wash and go is starting to look funny, there is this one curl hanging down in the back, lol. Reminds me of when I had a bad perm and all my hair fell out, but this one piece of hair, was just fine. Yep I had a TWA with that one piece of relaxed hair for years.
 
I haven''t checked in for awhile but I'm not sure I'll make BSL. I cut my relaxed ends off and I am just now making it back to APL. Hopefully I will get close though!
 
I have my hopes up for reaching bsl by December. Of course my hair is in layers, but I will feel so accomplished when that longest layer reaches BSL. Seems like the other layers won't try a length until that lead layer tackles it.

In my mind BSL equals long hair. I am hoping my blow out will finally reach APL next year. It takes a lot of nappy hair and some skills to look long.
 
My hair reached BSL in the middle part but it's sort of cut in layers too so all of it hasn't fully caught up. But I will say my hair is longer than it's ever been!!
 
Ladies, what's up with all of this being hesitant to CLAIM IT?! There are at LEAST three women who've acheived BSL but are not ready to claim it! Ya'll better whip that BSL hurr! :lol:
 
My hair has reached BSL but I wont claim it until I hit the bottom of the strap....I have a ways to go with this 3 clasp DD bra.
 
I just flatironed and trimmed. My hair is longer than I thought after my 1" set back. Now, I'm about 1.5" away from BSL. Praying I make it by Dec
 
I agree, if you claim it it's yours!!


I know once thing y'all, the coconut oil ain't no joke. I use it religiously and I see so much growth. I have really noticed the difference in my hair. I use it and/or the shea butter nightly. HUGE success with retaining moisture and preventing those split ends!

I will post a new pic when I get my hair straightened for my class reunion at the end of October. I won't wear it down again until then.
 
My hair has been shedding a lot these past couple months. Just running my fingers through my hair, i find that im pulling my hair out. I dont know what to do, i use alter ego product line and nothing is working as of yet

Yes girl, EVCO is the bomb! I switch to castor oil in the cold months but I still always prepoo with warm EVCO. Love it! And how many years for your reunion? I have mine in November and its celebrating 10 years. I can't wait for a hair reveal then either! I pray I'm BSL although Imma need a big 1-2" trim before the end of the year.
 
I don't think I care for twists anymore yet I'm loving my twistouts. So I've decided to try to wear twistouts for the fall and see how that works out. I think I have my staples now so that's a load off my back.

I figured it's about time to do a proper length check. Not sure what I reached now as in the pictures my ends look thin but I was only using one lock of hair to measure.
Back in December

Between that time I kept cutting my hair 1+ inches every couple of months. I have currently hidden my scissor and only trim splits I see now.
Where I'm at now in September

...my nape area will probably reach brastrap (or really close to it) by the end of the year. the rest of my hair...naaaaaah. nope! lol.

i'm gonna read through this post.
 
I believe I put this weave in on August 21 and I will be taking it down September 22.

I want to do a length check, but then again I did one in early August so I think I will just wait.

I'm not going to claim it yet because even when I straighten my hair, it still poofs some and it doesn't look bsl. (I haven't perfected the straightening process). I figure after I gain another 1 1/2 inches by the end of the year even if it poofs it will look bsl.

I might get it professionally straightened at the end of the year so that I can whip it back and forth for real....(but I"m scared of stylist).
 
hmmm is it too late to start this challenge?!? llol i know its almost october.. that leaves 3 months! a lot of growth is possible in 3 months?! no?... i want my hair at full healthy bra strap. i should possibly get a sew in.. no! im just going to deep condition EACH WASH.. and hope for the best. im going to press my hair this weekend and create my own LENGTH CHECK TSHIRT.. and post a pic. see you ladies again soon :)
 
So I randomly did a hapharzard length check. I didn't straighten my roots, I just undid a braid and lightly passed a flatiron (set on it's lowest temp) over it. I think I may have hit BSL. What do yall think?
