Thanks for noticing. I REALLY want it and am doing my best, but this darn shedding and breakage!!!:wallbash:
I guess we'll wait and see. Thanks again for the encouragement.

It took me a while to even figure out what "borders" meant. :lachen:




I think you can make mid-back by December. What are you feeling discouraged about? I mean, why do you need advice about?

Thanks for acknowledging my post. I just had a small cut (1" or so) and I'm starting to think I'm crazy for thinking my hair can get that long. (At least that's long to me). I'm worried that I'll have thin hair and that maybe my years of hair abuse will catch up with me. I probably needed to do a bc, but lacked the courage with the impending wedding, so I figure though I'm approaching bsl, I think I only have sl HEALTHY hair and the rest will eventually snap off.
Thanks for the encouragement, I think that's what I needed to hear to give me the fight to hang in there!
 
I've worked my lavender hair butter into my routine and I really like it. I think this is going to be a staple in my product collection from now own. It makes my hair really flexible which I like a lot and I'm hoping the lavender will help any inflammation on my scalp so that my hair can grow freely. I'm focusing on retention. Only 5 inches, ladies! AH!
 
Well I reached mbl April 2010. But had some serious see through hair issures. I had to cut!!! I took off about 4 inches. It looks better, but I still don't think I took off enough. I will post pics, later after I am home from work. I still think I can make MBL, again, by December 2010.

Good for you! I'm sure you'll make it.
 
Update: I got a sew-in!

I'll try not to be lazy and take a couple of pics. It's pretty simple though (got the wavy/curly hair).
 
Butterfly, what a beautiful rollerset! Everyone's hair looks great!

I've been trying to have some patience, but it's really hard. Waiting for my hair to grow is extremely frustrating to me - even though it grows quickly. I've been cutting back on how often I log on so I won't feel discouraged. The fact that I'm in month 11 of transitioning probably isn't helping either. My hair looks shorter every day. :wallbash: Yeah, I know it's just my new growth shrinkage, but sometimes I think I've had a setback - which is crazy, because it's a little longer every time I straighten. ARGGGGH!

Sorry ladies, this is a pms rant. :sad:
 
pic taken by a friend today. i am now BSB! and about 3-4 inches from my goal:

I'm in this challenge, for sure. I'm bsl and pray to be mbl by September. I aim high! I pray we all meet our goals ahead of schedule.

Happy Healthy Growing, Ladies!

I'm trying out Cynthiarf's winter wash n'go method (even though Spring is here) in hopes that the gel will help my routine be even lower in manipulation. Right now I'm on day 2 of this wash n'go and my hair looks fantastic! :grin: Her redampening in the shower method is the bomb!
 
Added pre pooing with garlic oil and co washing to my regimen. Still applying MT to my scalp and now that the weather is warmer I'm back to sealing w coconut oil. Hoping to buy some hair shears to dust my own ends, I'm not fond of the why my stylist "trimmed" my hair a few months ago so I'll try to keep up with it myself.
Ta ta for now.
 
I might be dropping out of this challenge cos I'm transtioning and don't know if I going to be up for 2 hour straightening seessions to take pictures. I believe I'm at MBL now but my 4 month growth makes it look BSLish. Maybe I'll post in June I dunno.

Butterfly I love those curls btw. Keep up the good work ladies!!
 
I haven't posted in a while, but I've been maintaining my hair. I'll wash/dc on Wednesday. I plan to air dry and then flat iron the roots. I'm 27 weeks post:spinning:
 
soooooo i'm failing at my PERSONAL hyh challenge...how pathetic is that? i told myself i'd take a two-week break for a blowout, and that turned into 4 weeks so fast. i've been cowashing, and feeling the water on my scalp took me back to the past two summers, where that is all i did -- cowash and WNG.

but no more -- i bought some deep wave hair from the BSS this past weekend (shame, i was supposed to JUST be getting a pack of hair for senegalese twists) and i will attempt to install it myself this tuesday, which will be exactly 2 months till the end of my challenge. my cousin will braid my hair using a pattern i found on BHM and i will sew it on with the help of some youtube videos. i will leave out a horseshoe and my perimeter, since i am NOT willing to attempt a closure...hopefully this will last me a month (more, if i am lucky) and in that time i can get my $$ for my bobraz, which will be my summer install, together. since i'll have to straighten my leave-out, i'll just rollerset it and flat iron the roots and wash it every 2 weeks....hopefully that means i will only be putting heat on it twice. after this deep wave comes out, i'll slap in some senegalese twists till my 2-year in june, by which i *hope* to be BSL....then i will install the bobraz once i do my length checks and swang my hair and such. let's hope these sew-ins don't set me back and i get to MBL in 2010!
 
I'm still waiting for my Maxiglide. I'll post pictures as soon as I get it. I don't think my hair has grown at all. Too much cutting, not enough growing.
 
I had the hubby last night do the check for me his job in all this and I have reached BSB/BSL I am so Excited, but honestly can I be honest, It still looks short!

I AM SO CLAIMING IT TODAY! (no not MBL) LOL! (PICS won't be until June, unless I can get to a camera sooner)

Would hate to see you go but it looks like you are moving on to better things for your hair :yep:. If you feel up to it pwease post in June as I am sure we would all love to see how you are progressing cause you know that's how we get our HIGH :look:
 
Just to update I have 3 inches to get to MBL! :D
I hope to get those inches with my added trims by the end of the year December.
 
Hi ladies here is what's left of my Easter hair. This is my first straightened check since last fall.

My hair has very poofy tendencies and I was chasing the sleek look to no avail, probably causing damage along the way. I had tons of hairs in the comb and on the floor, it was making me sick to my stomach... sigh... I'm going to find one of those brushes that boinbboing uses and see what happens next time. I hope to make MBL by years end, but I am not so sure that WL is a possibility this year... We shall see!

I posted this thread in MBL and WL challenges
 
I think I might have had a setback. As someone of you may know, the last month or so has been crazy with my shrinkage. I don't know if it's the weather or what, but when I brush my hair smooth it only reaches to about a 1/2 inch above my strap. If you look at the picture, it used to be right on it with a few shorter hairs covering the strap completely.

I'm upset. Do you think I've maybe been doing too much? I have been brushing a lot, but that's to keep my hair from dreading. I've changed products, but my hair has never felt better. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
