So this is my year end length update. I believe that I have gotten some of my hair to reach BSL, but I am very disappointed in my overall hair length. I have included this picture to show where I am right now in December 2011, but I think my goal was full BSL so I didn't quite achieve that, because I can see that I have retained some length. My hair is growing out in the W shape, so I want to work on that as well and even it up. I did not feel like taking a picture in my bra, so I put it over a t-shirt which did not give me complete accuracy, but good enough.
I will continue on my quest for full BSL for next year and with the low manipulation and gentle hair care practices I am going to continue, I hope I can make MBL in 6 month and WL in 12.
Congratulations to all the ladies who accomplished their goals this year and hope you reach new lengths in the New Year.
