~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

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
.
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
.
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"
(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.

~Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd: Natural
~Goal month: I'll know better at the end of Nov. 2013
~Current reggie and styling choices:
*In the vitamin section, I take (Bee Pollen, DE, MSM and Fish Oil).
*PS with wigs (track braids underneath), but gonna take Dec. off as I haven't really seen my hair in 6 months. At the end of Nov. I will remove ooold color, redeposit color, protein treatment, condition, press and trim off 1/8" to 1/4".
*Regular hair maintenance has been:
-shampoo (Vinegar/water rinses; Trader Joe Nourish Spa as a clarify; Shea Moisture; and Castile Soap),
-moisture maintenance (Olive, jojoba, shea butter, argan, coconut, Vit. E and occasional avocado and grapeseed),
-protein maintenance (eggs, mayo and aloe vera).
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL/MBL? Relieve my STRESS!!! as it is counteractive to hair growth - through prayer (give all to Christ cuz He can handle it
) scalp massages for TLC and if I could only invert everyday, it just feels soooo good!

I'd be happy to eDopt
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.
