BSL/MBL 2015 Challenge

I was supposed to wash and dc my hair today, but I am tired. My son had loads of homework, then I had to make dinner. Now I'm doing laundry. Next I have to bathe all 4 kids. If it's not too late after all that I will do my hair. Sigh
 
I washed and did an Emergencee dc. My hair was sooo easy to detangle and rebraid. Im getting my blowout first thing in the morning. Pics coming soon :)
 
I got my hair blown out Saturday. I had to get a serious trim (at least an inch), but now my ends feel amazing. Here are some pics

Thank you! No, my color doesn't break my hair. I just use a sulfate free poo (Keracare detangling) and I try to keep up with my protein-moisture balance.
 
Yay, I'm ready!!! I'm between APL and BSL now and I'd love to see my goal of MBL happen next year!!!
I'm going to utilize protective styling waaaay more and take my hair vitamins religiously next year. Let's grow!
 
I haven't added any oils or leave ins to my hair since Saturday. I am trying to avoid weighing down my hair. I am seriously trying to make this blowout last longer than a week...maybe 3 weeks :blush:

I got a blowout on Saturday and I have been doing the same...I want it to last 3 weeks but I don't want to skip my wash sessions either sigh
 
I wanna join- I'm APL now and I am looking to be at least BSL/MBL by December 2015.

I don't have a regimen. I just do whatever my hair/scalp needs at that moment.

I will be following you guys weekly to get hair tips.

Also BSL is the same as MBL right?

It depends on your height and how you where your bras. Since I'm top heavy, I like my bras to sit a little higher. There is roughly a 2" gap between BSL & MBL for me.
 
I always join but never complete these challenges but i am going to do better this time around. I will post a pic at the end of Dec. Right now, i am almost APL and hoping to be BSL next year. My reggie is simple:

Shampoo with KeraCare Detangling Shampoo
Protein Conditioner SheScentit Fortifying for 15 minutes
Moisturizing Conditioner SheScentit Riche Moisture for an hour
Moisturize with Qhemet Amla & Olive Oil or something like that
Seal with whatever oil i have handy.
 
Thanks Prettymetty

I'm joining this challenge. Saving my spot. Need to work out what I'm really doing with my hair got to just past apl with the last challenge I did and the I've just maintained it. Need to step up my hair game MBL is my ultimate goal and is achievable by end of next year I'm thinking. Will probably be a protective style / hide my hair year

Will post starting pic mid December
 
Please add me. I'm about 1/4 inch away from touching top of Brastrap. :bouncy:

I am trying to drink more water. I have also started eating really clean. I hope that my body benefits as well as my hair. I am hoping to drop 10lbs and retain at least an inch before the year ends.
 
I'll post my starting pic after I get a touchup in December.

I'm currently BSL and would like to be full MBL by June 2015

My regimen is very simple, this regimen is started once I hit 7 weeks post relaxer. My regimen prior to that is basically the same procedure using all but 1 product and no blowdrying, I try to stick to air drying for the first 7 weeks
Wash 1x/week-CON Detangling
DC Profective or whichever protein treatment i'm feeling at that time
Blow dry on warm for regular blowouts with CON Thermal Sheen Booster and nuNAAT Brazillian Keratin Serum. For DE Silkening Spray blowouts; I wash DC and blowdry with the silkening spray on hot because I skip the flatiron step. It keeps my hair pretty strong and I use it more regularly than before which is at least 2x/month.

I moisturize with a quarter size worth of B&B growth moisturizing lotion with aloe and seal with Paltas Hair treatment.

I clarify as needed. I'll be using more oils on my scalp in 2015 so i'll need to clarify more often but my regimen for the most part will remain the same.
 
Had free time before work, so I prepoo with coconut oil for 20 minutes. Washed, dc, m/s than up in a pony. Im in shea butter challenge so I been sealing ends with that, it works wonders leaving ends soft and moisturize.
 
I'm in. Not sure what to do. I've been neglecting my hair for quite some time, so I have a setback. Currently BSL, but I've found lots of splits going back as much as 2". Will probably cut back to APL in December. Hoping to make it to MBL by summer 2015 and WL by Fall 2015.

Sooo... I'm joining! I'm just above APL (full) and hope to be there by 12/31/14. My goal for 2015 is retention! So I'm hoping to retain 6 inches for the whole year. If I get more, I'll be thrilled! But I'll take my 6 and keep it moving.

The above pic isn't my longest layer, but, it's my go to when checking my length.

I'm in my 80th week of transition from relaxed to natural and I do a smoothing treatment every 12-16 weeks (so 3 times year). I use Design Essentials Transitioning Mousse.

My current regimen is to wash 1x weekly, co-wash 1x weekly, DC 2x weekly, M&S 1-2 weekly and wrap or protect my hair nightly. My system is not complicated and I have seen amazing results when I stopped doing 50,000 things to get my hair to grow.

I plan to increase my water intake (currently about 4-5 8oz cups per day) and exercise more.

That's it. Now let's get ta growing :gorgeous:

I remember some thread when you was either Bsl or grazing after a blowout Prettymetty. Have you been cutting?
Click to expand...

Yep. It was time for a trim so I asked her to trim my ends, but she ended up redoing my layers and giving my longest layer a blunt cut. I lost about 2 inches. Honestly Idk, but even Dh was like "your hair looks shorter" :(

Next time I will just go to Supercuts and get my ends dusted. I have really healthy hair so there was no need to cut that much. I trusted her, because last year she didn't trim nearly as much.
 
So y'all just gonna go against the grain and not tag me in this thread??? I see how it is :cry:

I'm joining for 2015...still working hard for full BSL

I am so anxious to be bsl. It seems like I have been apl a couple of forevers :lol:
Click to expand...

Me too. And whats killer is my hair seems like its only shoulder length to me but when I look at other ladies with hair lengths similar to mine, theirs looks longer than mine even though we are about the same length :perplexed

I think I only need 2 inches til I touch bsl in a perfect world I'd reach it by dec but i'm still give myself until march.
 
This is why I never let hair stylists trim/cut my hair. They will cut too much and you can't do anything but look forward to gaining it back.
 
I put some Neutrogena silk touch cream on my ends and set my hair on a few flexirods. My bone straight hair got boring :look:
