Trust us leona, you are MBL, you should be entering the waist length challenge right about now honey.

I am mostly cowashing. i shampoo every 3rd wash (every 9 days) and deep condition after. bunning my life away 99% of the time
 
the simple answer is 2-3 inches below the bra strap, but MBL is probably THE most subjective length goals...for some it actually IS BSL but for others is is below it...

your start pic is lovely! welcome to the challenge!

I posted this in the Keep It Simple 2009 challenge thread as well, but here is my regimen and my pic. The starting pic is actually from July. My hair has evened out alot since the starting pic. I'll have an updated pic hopefully soon. I have to get my camera back from my aunt. :)

My Regimen:

Shampoo: 2 weeks after a relaxer, after that once every week.
Product: Design Essentials Moisture Retention Conditioning Shampoo

Deep Conditioning: 2 weeks after a relaxer, after that once every week.
Product: Stimulations Super Moisturizing Conditioner

Regular/Leave-In Conditioning: I probably won't use regular conditioner except for as a detangler if needed during washing. As far as leave ins, I'll use them on wash days, and a few times throughout the week
Product: Herbal Essences Color Me Happy Conditioner (detangling conditioner) Design Essentials HCO Leave In Conditioner, ULI Leave On Conditioner

Drying Method: I am retiring my comb out blow dryer! I will be roller setting in 2009.
Product: Gold N' Hot hard bonnet dryer.

Moisturizer: I have yet to find a great one, but I will be moistuizing daily with the one I have. :(
Product: Cantu moisturizer

Oiling: I decided not to go outrageous with the oiling. I might try some of the Indian oils later on.
Product: Design Essentials Silk Essentials (used daily..LOVE this), Wild Growth Oil (used after every roller set)

Styling: I am going to try a lot of different things throughout the year. Roller setting, braid outs, twist outs, buns, and of course straight.
Product: Headbands, & clips.

Relaxing: Ok, so I REFUSE to try and relax my own hair. I will be paying $55 for every relaxer I get this year. I will relax every 3 months or less depending on the amount of growth, but no later than 3 months because my hair will begin to shed!
Product: Design Essentials relaxer

2-3 inches! thanks for the info and welcome! i've been wondering for awhile where mbl is, since waist is about bellybutton level

oh and you're great for starting this!

Almost, but not yet!! lol. I'll have an update in January after my next relaxer :) I've decided to try deep conditioning my hair overnight everyday this week since I don't have school. I did the Aphogee 2min reconstructor on Friday night, and since then I have deep conditioned twice. I've seen a MAJOR reduction in shedding. I'm so GLAD!!!

I'm gonna have to give that ApHogee 2 Min Recon a try...it sounds like pretty good stuff!
 
Here's my starting picture. I'd say I'm about an inch from BSL and need about 3 -4 inches to get to MBL. What do you guys think?
