It loves it for the time being. Who knows what this hair is gonna do further on into the transition lol. I do think I'm gonna switch over to a lower maintenance reggie while I'm in the install. cowash 1x a week. shampoo 1x a week. moisturize daily with braid spray.

I'm planning on 18-24 months, but it depends on how much NG I have by then. If its to at least SL by 18 months, I'll go ahead with the BC.:grin:

NIKKI you have to lock the gate on Chasturner or she will stay into this Challenge until she is FULL MBL :lachen:

I am in! Although I've been trying to reach BSL for over a year now.

At any rate, I plan to reach my goal by summer 2011 or June 2011

I am currently 2.5 inches away.

I am going to co-wash more often and lessen my heat usage. I am currently 100% natural, but I do straighten every 2 months or so.

You are soooo wrong for that! I would have to go in and say "Sorry folks, JJ has lost it and I have know idea what she's talking about. Please ignore this thread."

Nikki wouldn't lock me out, I just know she wouldn't. I will be in BSL 2011 until I am full BSL...with a trim! That should be Dec 2011.:lachen:
 
I got my products down to my favorite faves and recently I've been fighting this urge to build my stash back up. Oils and Conditioners mostly. I girl can never have too many conditioners, right? :look:

^^^This is true, but not to the point of stashing unused bottles under the bed young lady!
Click to expand...

LOL...that is so sad

I was going to purchase AO HSR today but decided against it. I told myself that I will only purchase products when I am completely out of a similar item and I'm sticking to it. :yep:

On another note, I washed my hair today and loaded it with protein products and it feels AMAZINGLY soft. I hate how wet hair stretches like crazy; the longer length is such a tease. :ohwell: I decided to snap a wet hair pic because my wet hair is only 3.5" shorter than my long term MBL goal. Hopefully my growth doesn't stall like I've heard from people trying to pass BSL and will start closing in on MBL toward the end of 2011...

I really should consider transitioning. I hate how thin my relaxed ends look when wet

Thanks for adding me, IntheMix08!

What's your regimen?

(1)Co-wash 2-3 times a week. (2) Shampoo and DC every 1-2 weeks or when there is considerate buildup. (3) Apply MT/Castor oil mix to scalp. (4) Moisturize hair with homemade whipped Shea butter. (5) Seal hair shaft and ends with coconut oil, EVOO, or whatever carrier oil I can get my hands on. (6) Style as desired or cover hair in silk scarf/bonnet before sleeping. (7) Daily vitamins: Take 10,000 mcg biotin; 1,000 to 2,000 mg garlic, depending on how much I shed; 400 mcg folic acid; b complex

What Products are you using?

I generally keep it simple:

- unrefined Shea butter
- carrot oil
- Castor oil
- EVOO
- Vatika hair oil or coconut oil
- essential oils (rosemary, peppermint, and tea tree)
- Mega Tek
- water

What are you specifically doing to achieve BSL in 2011?

More roller sets and exercise. Also, see regimen.

In what month are you hoping to achieve BSL?

Late February or early March but I'm gunning for the new year (January 1st 2011).

ETA: Well, BSL by the New Year isn't happening! Lol. My new goal month is June. It turned out that I had one section of my hair that was really long and the rest was a little pasy APL. The pic below shows my hair after I cut off the extra long piece and a small trim to put me just at APL. I can no longer feel my hair as efficiently as I used to in the shower when I reach for it from the back.:lachen:

I self-relaxed today at 11 weeks post and I have to say that it wasn't fun at all. Too much work lol, and nerve-wracking. :wallbash: But I no longer trust stylists so I just have to woman up and do it!

But I made some progress :pulpdance::pulpdance:The top of my tank top is half an inch from where the top of my bra strap would be.

Bigmommah, your bantu knot out looks great. How did you do it? The last time I attempted it, I ended up with a wavy fro.

Thank you for the compliment.

I let it air dry (a tad too much this time) then I grabbed hunks of it as if I were rollersetting, applied my moisturizing leave-in, cantu something or another and twisted. Since it was dryer than normal when I started I sprayed it with more leave-in and a leave heat protectant then hopped under the dryer.

Unfortunately using that method I wasn't sure when it was dry and took it down too soon.

If my next knot out turns out like this I'll probably not use them until after I relax again.

Gratz on the progress.

I think I'm gonna step my cowash game up a bit from once a week to twice a week. This hair did so well with the cowash and shampoo that I think it would be fine it I washed a little more.
