Post a beginning picture: Will update
 
I am pretty sure I am MBL already. Can I still join? I am looking to get to full MBL - WL.
 
~Current hair length: BS
~Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd: Relaxed
~Goal month: June 2014
~Current reggie and styling choices: I haven't been taking my vits. I have 1 1/2 packs of Viviscal and I just ordered Biotin 7500 mcgs so I will consistently take my vits . I'm thinking about trying Hair Finity once I finish up Viviscal not sure yet. I will deep condition once a week, co wash once a week when I'm 8 weeks post relaxed. I will either bun or pull my hair back into a ponytail and baggie my ends. Do a hot oil treatment monthly. That's all I can think of now. I'm not going to start back going overboard buying different things. I'm going to keep it simple
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL/MBL? The only thing that I have not been doing was taking my vits so I plan on taking them consistently. Other than that. I'm keeping it simple.
~Post a beginning picture: My beginning pic is my siggy pic. I just did a Touch Up last week.

Thanks for the tag miss Duchess, but i am only shoulder length. I think BSL 2014 is a big stretch for my slow growing 4c strands. But i will be lurking, and cheering you on ladies. I have been lurking in the bsl2013, and i know all of the ladies here anyways:lachen:.
I'll be happy if i can retain 3 inches to make APL next year.
Good luck ladies.
BTW love love your album with all the recipes. Wish i could hit paynah on your shea butter mix:look:.
Gotta quit being lazy and start whipping my own.

I'm joining. I'm not sure I'll even be BSL at the end of the year because I plan to slowly trim off 6 inches of bonelaxed ends over the year. But I'm going to hang out here because this is such a great group.

I'll post a starting pic in early Dec when I have my hair flat ironed.
 
@ronie - I too am just a lil' past SL and set my target goal at BSL for June, MBL in December. I was just looking at all these beautiful heads of long hair and thinking I am "so out of my league" - when I came across your post. Come on and join the challenge anyway. We can be "wannabes" together and encourage one another!!!
Challenges are just that "challenges" - not do or die!!
I may be out of my league but I am staying all up in this challenge - hoping some of this BSL/MBL hair will rub off on me. So - come on and hang out with me. I am sure some of these beautiful long hair ladies (@Duchess007, @Kerryann, @Lucie, @bellashair, @Froreal3, @tsmith, @naturalagain2, @SincerelyBeautiful, @Beamodel, @BraunSugar) will "eDopt" :lol: (thanx BraunSugar) us and help us on this journey.

ilong and ronie, I can't speak for anyone else, but I know I don't think of myself as long-haired. I think we all have problems giving ourselves credit for our own beautiful heads of hair.

Anyway, definitely don't count yourself out. We're all in it together. :-)

Thanks, ilong for the pep talk!

ronie, I hope you feel just a lil bit more pressured. :lol:

I'd be happy to eDopt :giggle: anybody that needs me. I found my best success through keeping my routine pretty simple. I still feel like I have a long way to go, but I am accepting the fact that my hair is in longish territory now. Even if I see something different in the mirror LoL.
 
ronie, ilong is right...you just never know. C'mon and join us *borg voice* ..:assimilate:

I don't think I'm in long hair territory just yet. I'm on my way though...this time next year I will be a long hair. :yep:
