First I must say Congratulations ladies and great progress!!!!! Ok second I have to apologize for my delay in posting my reveal, but here it is now. When I posted my starting pic I didn't have any straightened or stretched pics of my hair but I did state, "[...] that when stretched the front comes to the tip of my nose. Sides about a centimeter pass my jaw bone. and the back pulled toward the front comes to my collar bone"
Now when stretched the front of my hair falls below my bottom lip. My sides now come to my collar bone and the back is now apl. In my siggy are my pics the first being my bc in April, the second being my starting pic in June, and the last being the pic I took yesterday morning. As you can see my hair no longer wants to stand up its beginning to fall. I'm so excited and I cant wait for the next HYH challenge.

Ok I'm done with vacation and made it to salon yesterday for the blow dry and press for my progress pics...I am really disappointed because I was hoping to get to the 8 and I am no where near it...well on the positive it looked like my hair may have gotten thicker...this is where I think I went wrong: 1-not washing, conditioning, and moisturizing my scalp under my wigs enough, 2-maybe not taking wig off enough, 3-going to salons for my cornrows-when they comb my hair and detangled it hurt like hair and I would lose lots of hair-I thought that was normal shedding now I think it may have been breakage...IDK but I have got to learn how to take care of my own hair!! I have found my hair idol so I know it can be done...I guess I'm back to the drawing board...the top two are pre and post trim in June the bottom are the same in December (I asked her not to necessarily cut it evenly in December but to just get rid of the split ends; if she had cut it evenly I think I would be back to starting point)

Queen_Earth, your hair definitely looks thicker...... Your length is nice, also... I'm sure you're make it to 8 with the comments that you made about not having the salon do your cornrows for you.

Okay, my reveal is a little bit different. First of all, I started the challenge a little late, and then in August I BC'd. Here are my pics:
Right before BC:
Right After My BC:
My Big Reveal (after 5 months of buns, twists, poofs, henna treatments, etc.):
Overall, I'm so glad I had the opportunity to be a part of this challenge! Who knew my hair would grow back so quickly?

Alright ladies. Here are mine. I went to a salon and got my hair blow dried and flat ironed. Won't be doing that again for a while. Anyway, I'm gonna tease you with the bling (shine) that my hair had first.
When I saw my length, I was dissappointed but happy at the same time. That's because I was REALLY hoping to be BSL after this challenge. I didn't make it, but I am soooo close I could taste it.
Now here are my starting (top) and reveal (bottom) pics. I'll make this one big so you can see the numbers on the progress shirt. Tips from 5.5 to 8.5. Three inches is pretty good.
Came back to save my pics (I lost them on my computer) and I'm actually inspired again. It's been 7 months since this challenge ended and I STILL haven't gotten the 3 inches that I got during this challenge. Hmmm...

Awwww! This was my very first challenge that I actually stuck to! I have such fond memories.
I think I need to hide my hair for six more months. Maybe then I'll actually reach MBL.
Girl tell me about it. And I don't know what I did different during the challenge because my hair has been in a bun for the most part the past 7 months and I still didn't get that growth. Off the check the other threads to see what I was doing.

Me too!!!! I had mad progress during this challenge! But here lately, I'm at a stand still. We need to get it going again!
I know Sapphire would be down for it!
