I am so working towards having blunt WL for my wedding at the end of next year (sometime between August & November 2011). It feels like my hair is taking forever to even up....I will not cut, I will not cut I tell ya :nono:

I've been M.I.A from this challenge :look:. I was on hiatus for a while though and forgot about it, tbh.

Anyway, I've been mainly trying to keep things low-manip. I've been finding moisture is key for me to have easy detangling, easy styling etc. If I don't stay on top of that then my hair gets dry quickly and harder to manage and that leads to problems.

One thing I realised though is that I hate my hair loose for too long. I'm thinking about braiding up for the rest of the year. I know it's possible for me to retain length without braids now that I've gone without for many months. However, I really do not think I retain as much even though I seem to put in 5x more effort to do so. It seems low-manip when my hair is loose just isn't low-manip enough for me at this stage. I'm hoping that will change when my hair is longer. I'm going back to start the C&G method in 1-2 weeks, taking a few breaks as needed and then continuing on until the end of the year.

Just an update since my last post above. My hair has been in braid extensions for about 5 1/2 weeks now. I'm keeping them in until around the end of this month and then doing another set. I will keep doing this until November or December.

It's easier for me right now to just have my hair in braids, I only miss my real hair occasionally even though I'm not too into wearing fake hair. However, it's a means to an end right now - it's the quickest and easiest way to reach my goal. I'm trying to reach MBL or at least very close to it by the end of the year.
 
exubah, your hair looks AWESOME! :yay: :congrats: on your upcoming wedding. You will have beautiful WL hair soon. Isn't JBCO the bestest :yep:

And I hope you and your family are well :Rose:
 
Awww thanks yall, I'm over here blushing!!! and cheesing :grin:. Who would have thought, me approaching WL. I do love JBCO and LHCF for teaching me so many new things.

I'm still aiming for blunt WL ladies so continue to pray for my HHJ. Thank you all for your words of encouragement.

MBL is suppose to be half the distance of your back, but for me that puts me too close to bsl . I've been at this length forever, so I'm trying desperately to get as far away from bsl as I can before claiming mbl. I measure half the distance from bsl to wsl and claim that as mbl which is about 28 inches on me :).
 
Well at this point I am PRAYING to reach FULL MBL unstretched by December. As a matter of fact my sisters wedding is in July-After July 24th, I am wearing braids hard-core. I wanna save every strand I can... I am gonna do the C&G Method. Hopefully by Dec.1st I will be in for a pleasant surprise-FULL MBL ...:yep:

thanks so much NJOY :D

Thanks NJoy! Your hair is looking pretty lush too, mbl is just around the corner for you. Lol....I've been at bsl for so long that being anywhere near it feels like bsl, so once the tape measure reads 28 inches I'll feel like I'm truly mbl.
 
Hey,

Just checking in ladies, everyone's hair is looking so beautiful. Love your siggy JJamiah. That is a lot of growth. Keep growing girl. And Spring I know how you feel, my bra sits lows so technically for me the bottom of my strap is MBL, but I would prefer to be a couple inches past that to claim anything. Oh well, just gonna continue to grow and enjoy your lovely hair ladies. So encouraging to me.

LOL

OMG, I missed these, I skim the threads sometimes, excuse me for having my head in the dirt (picture an Ostrich) lol.

Thanks so Much Ladies, I feel honored especially coming from some to die for heads like yourselves.

Thanks so much

:grouphug3:
 
Exubah and JJamiah your hair looks AWESOME! :up:

I am hanging in there after my huge setback with a SHS stylist. The longest layers of my hair are now barely BSL. The shortest are shoulder length. :cry3:

I'm going to nurse it and keep it protected and prayerfully I can make MBL again by the end of the year.

Notice how it's shorter now than it was in my avi (which was July 2009). :(
