Here are my starting pics. Just got a relaxer on 11 Dec 10. I'm not yet APL (about an inch away) but I am confident that I will reach my goals this coming year, because I have a solid regimen. Good luck to everyone this year!

Hey Ladies.

Hope everyone had a good holiday. For some reason I find myself more lurking this thread then posting so I decided to change that today.

I've been doing twists weekly and my hair feels great nice and moist even in all this dry cold weather.. I've been trying to find new ways to style them so that my hair won't snag my collar.

I've been thinking about cutting my nape because its so much longer than the rest of my hair. I really just want my hair to catch up and be one length.
 
Hey Ladies!!! Can't wait to get this challenge started in the new year. I'll be in the first leg of the HYH challenge so I won't be posting progress pics but I'll show y'all where I am now. (Sorry to those who are in the APL 2010 challenge because you've seen one of these already :look:)

Hopefully I'll be BSL by June 2011 and grazing MBL by Dec 2011 with trims along the way. HHG!
 
Update: I got my hair braided this past Saturday. I will be leaving it in for 6 weeks. My next scheduled relaxer is on the 13th of February. I want these braids out a week before then so I can prepare my hair for the relaxer. Soooo.. with this install the rest of my stretch is pretty much laid out for me. The only challenge is keeping these braids in and caring for them. I have a crazy tendency of wanting to see and touch my hair when I have my hair hidden away

My regimen in braids:
~Wash/Condition once per week
~Cowash once per week
~Moisturize Daily

Goal Stretch: 12 weeks
Hopefully when this install is out I will be full SL leaving me 6" til BSL [[the countdown begins]]
 
I'm in...

I'm in another 2011 bootcamp but my goal is still bottom of my brastrap by Dec 2011.

What's your regimen?
Wash 1x a week. DC when I wash. Spritz with water/leave in 1x daily unless flat ironed. Seal with light oil/lite butter whenever I moisturize at night. Sleep with hair twisted or pinned, not loose or it matts. Wear bonnet or scarf at night.

What Products are you using?
Wash with soap bar(with conditioner on my hair) or Dr. Bronner mix(shhhh:blush:...i titrate it)
I add leavin after wash(kimmaytube) as conditioner
Seal with what ever oil, butter is close by. Coconut, shea, olive

What are you specifically doing to achieve BSL in 2011?
Using heat no more than 4 times this year if not less. Keeping hair in twists or pinned at night. Detangle at least twice a month. No trimming, but dusting.
In what month are you hoping to achieve BSL?
Around June

Ok, I trimmed my ends so this is my starting point. It's still uneven and there's more damaged hair that needs to come off but I just couldn't handle the thought of cutting more.

Regimen update..I'd been wearing braid outs and sealing with vasoline..but I missed my curls..so I'm back to wash n go's for the forseeable future..although I like braidouts nothing beats my curls....:)..(besides I get the best growth from wash and gos)
 
:welcome: @bride91501, @nissi, @Afrobuttafly, @discodumpling, @sthrnlady, @Diva_Esq, @lisajames96, and @Samoneisthebest! I'm looking forward to hearing about and seeing your progress in the new year! HHG!


And I'm loving everyone's December Updates/Starting Pictures! Keep them coming!
 
I just took out a sew in, washed and DC'd my hair, and dare to dream, I think I'm getting close to APL. I stretched my hair and it was like 1-1.5 inches away!
:dance7::clapping::band::band2:
Ok, I know I'm a little excited, but still! It has been so long since my hair was this long.My sew-in is going back in and I think I'm going to keep hiding my hair (not in the challenge, but I like it for now) for at least until my 1 year HHJ anniversary in Feb. At that time I will be 17 (wow) months post.

.
 
Hopefully it's not too late, but I'd like to join too! Also doing the LHCF Bootcamp challenge.

What's your regimen?
Wash every 7-10 days, detangle, deep condition, moisturize, and then will rock two strand twists until next wash day. Moisturize either every other day or as needed. Also, recently started baggie method at night.

What Products are you using?
Giovanni 50:50 balance, Suave Shea & Almond (still looking for a great detangle conditioner), DPR-11 and 3min Aussie (still looking for great DC), Cantu shea butter or KT leave-in, olive or coconut oil to seal, and some good 'ol water

What are you specifically doing to achieve BSL in 2011?
Keeping my hair moisturized and protected!! Not using heat.

In what month are you hoping to achieve BSL? I believe I am at (or almost at APL), so hopefully by December.

Please include a Starting pic:

I'm in!

Template to join

What's your regimen? Proctective styling! Weekly cowash and deep conditioning.
What Products are you using? Too many!
In what month are you hoping to achieve BSL? December 2011
Please include a Starting pic: Will post at end of Jan 2011.
 
So I'm in (I think I've been in...)

As for changesin the New Year... I'm kind of stuck... I think as strange as this sounds... I'm going to trim more... Now I only trim my hair when I get it straightened, which is about once every 6 months...

So when I got my hair straightened in November... I LITERALLY had about 3.5 inches cut off... NEVER AGAIN. It went from about 2 inches from BSL to Just shy of APL.

So that means it'll be December 2011 until I claim BSL... But I'll get there!

Things I might try:
-Vaseline on my ends.
-More Deep Conditioning
-Keeping my hair in braids. In fact, I'm about to put in individual braids (no extensions) on January 2nd.
-Maybe more weaves? I've noticed when my hair is either weaved up or braided it grows better. Perhaps this is because I don't see length for 2 months straight, or perhaps because there's less manipulation and I'm taking better care of my scalp, I don't know.

Okay I'm finished, lol. I've talked long enough. good luck everyone!

I'm in. I will post a photo on January 1.

What's your regimen? Wash, every other week. Deep conditioner every week. Co-wash weekly depending on the weather and what I am doing. I put my hair in four sections and wash in the shower then apply conditioner and oils, twist and clip to air dry. I usually detangle in the shower, it's easier that way. I also take vitamins: Viviscal, biotin, and Phytophanere. Scalp massages are a must.

What Products are you using? Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap in Almond, Giovanni Shampoo, Whole Foods Lavender Moisturizing Conditioner, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Walnut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Coconut Oil and various essential oils.

What are you specifically doing to achieve BSL in 2011? I plan to really focus on the moisturizing and protein. I have no problem with the protective styles but moisturizing and protein treatments are an issue because I am super busy, but I plan to make it work and retain that new growth!!!

In what month are you hoping to achieve BSL? Probably by July, I want to be long at least BSL for my wedding although I am fairy close.
