MBL 2010

My NG has me looking a hot mess. No stretching for me. I have to touch up next week at almost 8 weeks. I was hoping to hold out at least until mid May but, yikes! :nono:

.
 
I am going to be ending my stretch a couple weeks early due to a family emergency. My grandfather passed away on Sunday and I want a straight look for his funeral on the 1st May without using a flat iron. I'll probably relax tonight or tomorrow night because I have to travel to another island.


I'm sorry for your loss. ((HUGS))
 
Well ladies I relaxed my hair last night.....I'm disappointed that the middle back is not catching up as much as I would like to the rest of my length. I'm right at MBL with the exception of that area. I will not be claiming MBL until it is fully there. Sorry, there will be no pics for a couple of weeks.

YOU don't have to claim it, but I'll claim it for you!!! :lol: Congrats on even a small amount of hair reaching MBL!! :yep:

Hi ladies. So I've decided to journey over to this challenge and join! I'm BSB and about an inch from BSL. I'm looking to make BSL by June, and I'd love to make MBL by Dec of this year, or atleast grazing it. I'm up for the challenge!

Exubah, sorry for your loss, my prayers go out to you and your family.

Gonna try to hold on til mid May after all. It took a :spank: to convince me. Man. LHCFers are vicious! :ohwell:
 
ok ladies, looking at my avatar, how many inches do you think I have to make MBL and then to full MBL? My bra sits really low. The goal that I wanted to have is by Memorial Day and I'll be 15 weeks post. I'm currently 10 weeks post, so there is a little NG despite my bangin flat iron job my stylist did :yep:.

If you aren't MBL (because your bra looks awful low) then maybe another inch or two at the most. I think you are already.
 
Thanks lane. Yeah, I dont know why all my bras fit me so darn low. I dont wanna claim MBL yet, so I'm gonna say another inch as well :grin:. Hopefully I'll be there at touch up time in another 5-6 weeks :yep:.

Thank you. Judging from your avatar 2 to 2.5 inches will take you to WL. You are probably right at MBL or a sneeze away.
 
Checking in. I'm still DCing regularly (every week most times). I'll rollerset my hair this upcoming weekend, so I'll post some update pics. FOR REAL this time. :lol:

Okay, I flat ironed and I'm so disappointed. My hair has grown very little. :nono: I'm not certain what that's about. I'll post pics in a min.
 
am i waist or midback? i know my ends are see through but i will be keeping them for the other hair to catch up as i do not have any splits i believe it is just old hair. plus it's not like i got a good press in this pic. what do you think?


 
^^^ Oh wow I wasn't expecting such lush hair, girl you are past MBL and can waltz into the WL thread cos you don't have a lot to get there.

Oh my ends are just like yours and I'm contemplating trimming cos I'm transitioning.
 
been good. got a new baby 4 months. got alot of growth but thin ends:wallbash::wallbash:, thick again though. u still texlaxing? i still love shoes too.:grin:

Congrats on the new baby. I have a "jheri curl" right now but it gives me that texlaxed look. However, I'm growing tired of the curl & am thinking about getting a BKT & transitioning yet again.

Being that my hair is touching my bra strap stretched, there's this part of me that wants my rollersets & wraps back. I'm so indecisive.

Again, good to see you back on the board.

Exubah, I know this is late but sorry to hear about your grandfather. Rejoice because he lived a very long life. :yep:
 
I want to join this challenge. My avi is my starting pic. Im 7 months post relaxer.
I currently have my hair in braids cause Im shedding so bad.
I will be co washing weekly
Deep Conditioning moisture/protein rotate weeks
Moisturize daily whenever needed
Seal with JBCO or EVOO
 
Ladies,

I'd like to enter this challenge. I've attached a photo of my hair and I'd like to know if where I have drawn the line qualifies as MBL. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hey ladies. I decided to measure my back today. As I always knew, MBL and BSL are technically the same thing on me because I wear my bra so low.

My back is 18 inches long so as you can see the 9 is at the top of my bra. My hair is at the 9 now but I'm not even claiming BSL until I'm at 9.5. Then when I reach 10.5, I'll officially claim MBL. So I guess I still have an inch and a half to go. Maybe I need to invest in a good growth aid for the next 2 months.

Also, I always considered WL to be the 18" mark. That's where I want my hair to be? Is that technically WL or is it farther up? TIA...

checking in......

Nakia, I've always measured from the front hair line, but I've read people here saying it's the narrowest part of your torso, so if that's at 18 inches for you then that's about accurate.

ETA: Is 18 inches at your tailbone Nakia? If it's at your tailbone, then waist is going to be further up :) (depending on where you place the tape measure each time) Looks like 14.5 in is wl in the pic

I agree with Spring. I think the 18 inches in your pic Nakia is tailbone. I have wrong measurements too. I always thought waist was basically where tailbone is until I saw a chart.
 
Gotta make a decision on whether to do a full touch up, texlax or stretch a little longer. I have an event coming up on the 20th and don't want to look crazy. I have to decide by the 17th. Decisions, decisions...:perplexed

Your waist looks to me around 14.5-15....that's a good idea. I think I'm going to go measure myself :yep:


ETA: WOW I'm so excited and thanks for the idea! From the bottom of my neck to my jeans is 18 inches! My hair is currently at 10 when I pull it from a braidout and I have 23 weeks post of ng! I think I have about 3 inches to WL GOSH I want to straighten right now for a length check!

Hey ladies I just wanted to do an update. I've updated my reggie a couple times in the past few weeks but haven't posted a pic since this challenge started. I'm happy with what I've gained back since my "trim."

Red is APL (9 inches of hair)
Green is MBL/BSL (16 inches of hair)
Purple is WL (21 inches of hair)


My hair grows between 3/4inch to 1 inch a month and when my hormones are normal and I can stay away from trimming I retain about 8-9 inches. So hopefully by my coworkers wedding I'll be there
