MBL 2010

Most of you ladies have a summer growth spurt, but for me, I didn't get a good growth spurt until Aug-Dec last year. You ladies will have your reveals in Sept & Oct, but I'll have to wait it out till the end of the year.

I am going to third this notion, I won't reveal until about December 24, 2010. I want to save every last inch, cm.... ect.

I am anxious to what the rest of the year will bring. :D

So excited.

Ok then Dec 24th will be my reveal date too. My photo I posted last night was with a fresh relaxer-oiled up. I hate my fresh relaxed hair.I plan to relax Dec.1st but holding my reaveal til the 24th may give it time to get a fuller look.

I don't care for the fresh relaxer look either. I like it most the month after :D
 
I was going to wait to reveal but I kinda have a question about it. I had my mom take a picture for me early today and I'm not sure if I can claim it yet. I am only 4'11 so bra strap is just about mid back for me. So can you all be the judge? My mom says I have maybe an inch to go but really I don't know. I am going to put the picture in my fokti because it won't load here. So just click on my album link to see the picture.
 
Giovanni is warming up to my heart. lol. I used the 50:50 shampoo today, and I am in LOVE! And its good for colored hair. Add that to the fact that its sulfate free and I was sold, but then when I felt my hair after using it?! I could still run my fingers through it: NO DRYNESS, yet it felt absolutely clean. Moist and clean? If I had my Tresemme Shampoo with me I would throw it out, my ORS creamy aloe shampoo too! As soon as I get back to school tomorrow, I will. Its THAT GOOD.

Your bra sits really low.I think you're right at MBL now. Have you tried measuring your back & figuring out where the mid point is? That's what I did because my bra sits really low, too.

See, that's what I was thinking. And I didn't realize my bra sat THAT low. Or maybe I'm just THAT short. Yeah, I may have to measure my back to see what mid back really is for me. But regardless, if I'm not there now, I will be there by December as I don't plan on any setbacks or major trims.

Yeah, your bra sits really low. On most charts that I've seen MBL would fall at the bottom of your breasts (like the mark where your breast becomes your stomach). That's how I'm measuring MBL for me.

Girl, don't you throw those away. You betta give them away in the give away thread. :yep:
 
I'm going to flat iron after this week's wash, I think. If not this one, then definitely the next one. In the mean time, I do have this update from the front:

I got my hair braided yesterday and basically had to take it down today. The back was too0 tight, I asked her not to braid my egdes she did and wh was totally not careful with my hair. She didnt really detangles it (I had stared to prior to her starting) and he tore through my hair not even being careful of the length of my hair so it didn't get knotted while she was braiding. I'm still seeing broken pieces!!!!! DAMNIT. DAMNIT. Just had to vent. I'm sure that it isn't as bad as it seems but I'm still mad!

yep, my reveal will be late Dec as well!

Mwedzi, beautiful MBL, congrats!!

Bun Mistress, sorry to hear about that :-( it always sucks when people don't understand (or care) how to handle your hair.

It looks MBL to me, your bra is really low (no offense) I wear mine kinda low too. Anyway, beautiful hair. :grin:

Yeah, I measured my new growth. I didn't do a length check. I had like 3 and a half inches/four in some places since January. Uh, no growth spurt for me. My hair was growing much faster at the end of last year. I am gonna stretch out my check also. :grin:
 
I received my Ponytails from Hairsisters today!
I quickly gelled up my hair :D and put a Pony HOok in it. Got under the dryer and dried my hair most of the way. I put my pony on :D AHhhh just like old times. I will rock this for the WHOLE SUMMER. I love it, it is low manipulation and I look groomed not to mention it last the whole week :D

Thank you. :grin: I really appreciate the compliment. I hope it does look obviously mbl when I flat iron. I get happy just to have my hair hang at apl when I blow dry.

Yes, you can have a little of my thickness. I'll tell y'all something. The back of my hair is a slightly different texture. The curl pattern is a little bigger and it's a little less dense. I love that part of my hair. It looks the same to most everyone, especially when it's not wet, but it is considerably easier to take care of. I'd be happy to have, like, 20% less dense hair.

Goodness I'd be happy to take it! I wish it was that simple to give and receive :D
 
im just checking in im gradually getting there, hopefully the next few months of protective styling will put me over the edge to mbl!

Mwedzi, I hope you post pics :)

Longcurlylocks, my bra sits really low as well which for me makes all 4 levels (bsb, bsl, mbl, wl) feel like bsl.... congratulations on your progress!

Bunmistress, it seems like a lot of stylist just don't have the patience to gently comb through hair :nono: ...
