MBL 2010

I did an impromptu length check on air dried hair (well, I thought I had to do a length check for a challenge but I'm early). I didn't flat iron but stretched my dried hair and it reaches the bottom of my bra strap so, I'm coming along nicely. I think I'll do a flat ironed length check at the end of this summer and hope to be full mbl ~...well, full enough. Darn these layers! :wallbash:.

Thanks lady. Your hair is gorgeous in ur siggy, BTW.

I have a growth buddy & we're doing a little hide our hair challenge from June 24 - Sept 24. We're also challenging ourselves to do a growth aid daily during that time. I'm doing BT & will alternate with MN.

For all of the ladies that are almost there, maybe we can do a small challenge within the MBL challenge. If not, I understand. I don't think my growth buddy would mind me inviting y'all in since we met on this thread.

It's been nice being apart of this thread. It's like y'all are the ladies that I will celebrate WL with & I'm soooo excited about that. Speaking of which, Exubah, are you going to do the WL thread for next year? Yeah, I know we have some time. :look:

I think a challenge for this thread would be great! Only one problem-I'm in my sisters wedding July 24 and I don't plant to wear a weave-but outside of that it's a go-I'm up for a challenge!

Thank you!

You ladies in the challenge using the growth aides, please let us know if you think the BT & MN are working for you, I've heard some pretty positive things about them :). I've tried using for a month BB Growth serum and I haven't seen any increase in growth, but I did like the ingredients.

Well, you are right......it is really early but I'm not ruling it out, God willing! I did plan on joining a WL thread for next year cause I want to have WL for my wedding in October 2011.....but you know what?....it may not be too early cause I could have sworn I saw a WL 2012 thread :look:!!!!!
 
Congrats on your progress, ladies.

I am 'unofficially' in this challenge and plan on reaching full mbl by October. I need a trim, but I'm holding out until I surpass my goal.

Happy Healthy MBL Hair Growing!!

yeah, layers :-/ lol. I'm tryna grow mine out too, so you're def not alone!
 
I've been havin a hard time finding an easy style to do after cowashes. i do yoga 5-6x a week and with the new growth, its getting harder to cowash, detangle, and style without excessive combing. so today i decided to try two strand twists and they actually came out nice :-D. so this is def an easy style that i'll prob keep doing for the summer. I did a rod set last month that came out nice too that i thought i'd show yall! And a braidout (tho i failed to roll the ends so it looked uneven cuz of the layers) :-/

Very nice. How many two strand twist do you create? Is this done on wet, damp or dry hair? Thanks in advance!

I did about ten on wet hair. I just used my leave-ins (chi silk infusion, aveda universal styling creme, giovanni direct leave-in) and parted random sections. I have a lot of new growth so i didn't pay attention to making the parts perfect. And to keep the twist in, i braided the last inch of hair. HTH!

Oh wow! Girl, you did that! Both styles look nice! Ow! OW!! :lick:
 
Not that I'm wishing life away but, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's progress at the end of this summer. Really looking forward to a summer growth spurt.

I am too. I keep thinking. Oh, end of summer where are you? I know that is horrible. I promised I wouldn't do a length check until September and I know some others will as well around that time and i can't wait to see pics. :lick:
 
^^I think it's the anxiety. Most ladies get a growth spurt during the summer so we're all anxious to see what our results will be. I plan to put mines away for the entire summer so hopefully I'll have a very pleasant surprise when it's all over with.
 
I'm with you all, Im not planning on taking down this install until Sep 1st and then do a length check. I cant wait until then. I count the days and weeks every night. lol
 
I need to hide mine away because I have hand-in-hair disease BAD. But, I want access to my scalp for massages, at least. :look:

I'm considering having my hair cornrowed under a short, sassy wig (too dang hot for anything long) but, seems like a wig would be hot regardless. And with this texlax and just finger-combing, my bun look is questionable these days. :rolleyes:

Hmmm... Maybe flat twists...if I can do 'em myself. :rolleyes: Oh, what ta do? What ta do?

What are you all doing?
 
Finally did a trim today, just the ends (did it myself!). No going to lenth check til the end of the summer. It s so humid it was poff up anyway!
 
2 more inches to claim MBL :D and 4 more to claim WL. I am excited ladies. I will be back to where I was.

:D

I washed my hair today with Hair One Tea Tree on scalp and Hair One Olive Oil on my strands. I rinsed and applied APhogee 2 minute for about 30 minutes. I then rinsed that out and put Silk elements Megasilk treatment with PC in for 2 hours. Lo and behold it was better than BUTTER, ahhhh, I sprayed CHI keratin mist, HSH Soy Leave In, Argan Oil, got under the dryer for 5 minutes, blow dried for 2. :)

Silky Smooth hair!

I flipped it up in an ouchless band and called it a day!

I am still bunning, but being less precise. I do messy buns. It is too hot to wear it down and I haven't every tried a wig or anything. But I understand what your saying about always being in your hair. Mine is growing in so curly and I can't stop playing with the curls. Get your hand out of your hair. :wallbash::wallbash:

I even told my husband if he saw me doing it to stop me. :spank:
 
Today I wore my SUN hat. I am so happy I did! I will be rocking this more in the summer. Nikki I totally understand the the heat thing. I don't like my hair on my neck. WILL be rocking the pony tail :D

As soon as it comes in :(

OK. HOPE THIS PHOTO SHOWS UP-NOT GOOD AT THIS...Took this photo today-I did not comb out my hair just finger combed it out. Yes I know my ends are not the best but I'm not trimming til MBL!

According to this young lady her shorter hairs eventually caught up with her longer hair-I'm gonna try her method of trimming once I hit my goal(also see her thicker ends page) http://www.beyondclassiclength.com/longhairjourney.html.

http://www.beyondclassiclength.com/longhairjourney.htmlWanakee has said the same thing. So I think once I hit MBL I will trim and then trim again at WL since thats my ultimate goal. Then I will hopefully get it all caught up by then.

I am basically following this method. I am transitioning, so at some point I will have to start trimming more. But until I reach my goal, I am good for now. :grin:
 
So I did a carmel treatment tonight, using bananas baby food, like someone mentioned. But, I also had some over ripe bananas and decided to toss one in the mix. :nono: I have little pieces of bananas all in my hair. The treatment turned out well. My hair feels good but..uh...yeah. :rolleyes: I wonder how long it's gonna take me to get it all out. In any case, it'll have to wait until tomorrow. I's ti'ed nah.

But on a good note, the treatment has settled my roots down a bit. Well, my hair's still wet so, we'll see. 'nite, All.
