BSL by Dec 2011

Seamonster said:
MsKikiStar It looks like you grew a lot to me. In the black hair picture I can see 2/3 of the tatoo, but in the red hair picture that top curly cue is now completely covered. Did you notice that?

you have some good eyes, girl! I actually didn't notice that at all. I've only been focused on allover length. Thank you for that :hug3:

Umm...I've been super lazy with my hair the past week from being. Tomorrow I plan to touch-up the color. Wanted to do it today but didn't realize until around 8pm that I didn't have any developer :sad:.
 
Hi Ladies,

Hope all is well with everyone!!! Congrats to all you've made BSL.

I wanted to share my most recent relaxer update. I was told in MBL 2012 thread that I wear my bra low so until I do my next lenght check I'll have to rely on this. I've done 2 trims (July and Sept) so I can say I'm almost at the point where I have very thick ends. Otherwise, I'm hoping to be full BSL with thick ends by Dec 2011. I'm currenlty 4 weeks into my 24 weeks stretch and plan to wear wigs to hide my hair until my next relaxer. I'm not takeing any chances with my ends so I can baby them everyday.

Hi lady,

June will be here in no time. I'm excited to see your results, I'm sure you are making great progress.

I claimed BSL when I relaxed last week but my hair doesn't fall that straight when it's dried. I also air dry and I don't flat iron since I'll be hiding. My hair doesn't touch my bra without me pulling it, sooooo I'm giving in to not chaseing BSL and rather settle with BSB. I will just focus on the health and I'm sure in time I'll be able to have a nice braid out or air dried hair touching my bra strap without effort.

So I'm reclaiming - not BSL but BSB!!!

I'll be looking for your update in June.

It's a serious matter!!!

Chaosbutterfly What do you mean your ends need work? They look layered to me. :)

NappyNelle, I guess they are, but not by choice. :lol:
The hair at my nape is longer than my crown hair, and I'm trying to get them even so I can get a thicker appearance to my ends. I also have lots of single strand knots, although I don't know where they came from.
So I guess by work, I mean...about a 1.5 - 2 inch trim. I want to do it now, but I guess I will wait until after my next touch up.


ojemba, your hair is so nice. I'm so freaking jealous of your ends and the thickness of your hair.
 
Chaosbutterfly Thanks, I've been really trying to focus on my end and doing some triming/dusting as I see needed. My goal is to have thick blunt ends with lenght of course.

So my weave is straight, but it looks really silky and not in a good way. So I got some soft twist rollers and put them in (this is my first time using them) & I actually like how it came out. I'll probably stick with this style for this hair. I plan to keep it in for 4 weeks and its only been 2.

Update

so I thought I was having a set back with all the hair I was losing on wash days...
But I ended up straightenting my hair for the first time since May and my hair is fuller than before...its extremely thick now. And on top of that it is 1 inch from BSL! So I may make it by the end of the year...

But since what I have been doing is working, I wont straighten again until january, so hopefully I make it *crosses fingers*
 
I'm less confident that I'll make it by the end of the year. :ohwell: I should have taken proper starting pictures.
 
Nelli04 You just gonna come up in here and say my hair is thicker and longer than ever, and what I been doing is working, without telling what you doing:naughty:. Spill the beans, :sekret: what have you been doing?
 
lol my bad...
My hair has always been thick, but with all the damage it has been thinner for quite a few years...I would say the fact I stopped flat ironing it so often (only 3 times this year) and i keep it braided up and take them down every 2 weeks and wear a braid out for a few days and braid it up again...

so basically less heat, less manipulation, and staying on top of moisturizing.
 
I am going to relax this upcoming weekend and make my U-Part wig and hide my hair til the end of the year. I am relaxing cause my hair knots up if I let it be, getting it relaxed makes it managable for me. Maybe I will be in for a surprise when I relax LOL
 
Ok, I just realized that I was in this challenge. I guess I stopped posting after my midyear flat iron did not show any progress from December '10! I don't know where the problem is I have been bunning, twisting, sealing, moisturing, and random henna. But NO GROWTH!!!!! Can medications stunt growth?

Im not sure....Is your hair breaking from the ends?
 
I think I'm BSL at the bottom layer... But I'm not taking pictures or claiming until the end of the year/next time I get my hair done lol.

Until then, I'm going to braid up my hair again. These past 3 weeks I feel like my hair thrived in that beehive. So next week I'll get it cornrowed into some cute style. Maybe an iPod.

Congrats! I think I have a few strands grazing BSL also, but I'll keep it under wraps until Dec 31...lol...
Oh and ?:look:? at the bolded...
 
I finally made my U Part Wig...

& I believe I did a good job. Next one will be better I started sewing the hair, but got lazy & finished by putting glue on the top tracks.

Incognitus

Can you explain what a U-part is please? I've hear people talking about it, but I am clueless.

--Sure. It's a wig, with a U part cut out at the top so you can leave some of your own hair out to cover up the wig. Basically what I watched on YouTube was a lot of girls sewing or putting glue on the tracks to make it say on an spandex head cap. After you sew/glue the hair on the cap you then cut out a U shape at the top, add your clips and rock your hair. I also used bobby pins for the side.

I guess it's suppose to be cheaper then getting a weave done and easier because you can take it off at night. I got some cheap hair just in case I didn't do it right but my mom and sister both side it was cute.
 
I made me a U-Part wig last night with some natural wave hair that I got. I also relaxed today, not sure what I will be doing to my hair today. I am DCing at the moment, about to wash it out and hairdry mostly..... I will be hiding my hair until the end of the year.....
 
So ladies do you think I can claim bsb? I was going to wait until the end of the year (that extra 1" lol) before I claimed?

I hope I will make it to BSL by the end of the year, if not BSB at least. I have been protective styling at least 6 days a week for the past 2 months because of school I have to. And I will be until June 2013.
My signature picture was taken I think in July, I hope I am not stuck there because I dont see any growth at all

I don't think I'll make it anymore due to a recent haircut. :sad:
I was close on Aug 29 when I length-checked after a relaxer...hair hitting BSL while wet, less than 1" away dry but very jagged/uneven so I got a haircut which took off 3" at least.

I doubt I can grow the 4" or so needed to be BSL in the 3 months left! :spinning:

Forgot to post final pic--this was my drop out length (before haircut), on 08/29/2011:

dry

I think maybe I could have claimed it?
I have no doubt I would have made it had I not lost a few inches to that haircut 2 weeks later! :spinning:

I wasn't officially in this challenge but I personally had bsl by January 7th (my closest relaxer to the end of the year) as a goal. I'm two inches away so it's not impossible but I am really going to have to work it out!

sent from my EVO 3d y'all!
