BSL/MBL 2014 Challenge

THAT's thinner?!?!

Sent from my iPhone using LHCF

Yes! I have an odd relationship with my hair, but it does feel thinner to me.


I so understand!

Your hair doesn't look thin at all, but I definitely understand the "feels thinner" feeling.

Maybe a protein treatment? Is your hair shedding/breaking? I think when I did a hard protein my hair felt MUCH better. I need to figure out how to stop some shedding, but it felt Stronger/thicker at least.

Thank you! Lol. And even if this is all in my head (:look:) more hair will not hurt... right? What do you use for your hard protein? I definitely need to do one. But I still need to figure out a good moisturizer to complete my LOC method with.
 
Took my weave out.

This is the first wig I wore.

All made by my me. Wigs by di.

Then on Sunday I wore this:

Back to work today

Yea I missed my wigs.

All of your wigs look amazing, I really want to attempt a curly wig once I find some time.

Due to hand in head disease I have braided up my herrrr and put it in a weave for a month or so we'll see :). I really need to find a new closure though. I may rejig it to look like some bangs :)

Hi ladies. I just moved back to ny. Got off the plane today.

I am happy to be near family. Hair is doing fine. I retained half an inch this month, which is a feat for me. I am pleased. I am changing my final length goal back to my original of MBL. I don't feel like monitoring length like that anymore after this year. I feel I will retain the remaining two inches for MBL by end of summer.

That was fast! I knew you were moving back to NY, but didn't know it would be so quickly.

When did you pack etc.? Did you hire movers for your furniture and home goods?

I'm excited for you, regarding your new position! Also, that you're home and closer to family.

Glad you had a safe flight. I think I will be stopping at MBL too; which was my original goal. I hoping to reach MBL by Sept, & I will just maintain from there. I also am tired of monitoring length. If your hair grows longer than MBL, will you just cut it?, Froreal3

pelohello if it passes, I'm fine with that too. I'd be happy to get to WL, but no longer really care if I do or don't...if that makes sense. :lol:

Thanks MileHighDiva. It was really fast. I have to start work next week. My stuff is still in the A. DH will be driving the rest of clothes etc up next week. He is staying down there for a little while and will visit during vacations.
 
Hi Ladies, I just want to know if I can cheer you all on the sidelines. I was in last years challenge but due to "life" issues I haven't been on the forum since end of 2013. Just jumping in to say hi and good luck in this years challenge!

I cut 2'' off today. tired of the singe strand knots, i think i'm back @ APL not sure though but i was cutting like a SHS today. I'm loving the healthier feel and i think i already have 3/4 of an inch growth. I posted yesterday in another thread that i'm .5'' but i just measured and see that i was wrong. Btw I'm 5wks 4days post relaxer.
 
Hey ladies fig I would do an update since I got my hair straighter and trimmed I'm about an inch away from hitting bra strap after my haircut in feb it's crazy bc I thought I may have needed the cut but my new hairstylist who I love (she has to be a member here I found her through BHM forum). I got a trim and she shaped my hair keeping the length I like it and my fro will look great when I wear it. So goal is to now make BSL by fall I guess MBL by jan I'm giving myself time also I'm in need of a good water based leave in any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I put my hair in a 'prepoo bun' this morning for work. I saturated my scalp and hair with a mix of my ayurvedic oils. Hopefully tonight I won't be too lazy to wash it.
 
I need to stop wearing my double rope braid bun. To do it I have to put my hair in 2 ponytails and even though I use nylon trouser socks do the ponytails, everyday when I take them down, there is some breakage. I guess I have to go back to my regular buns.
 
Hi all,

I'm still in the challenge. I cut a little off my ends because I'm just not happy with them. Therefore, I'm not claiming full midback until these ends are right. Maybe, I'll be full MBL by the end of Summer:lick: I'm enjoying the journey though. Loving the beautiful heads of hair..
