Hey Ladies!
It's been quite a while since I last checked in. Although I've been quite lazy, I'm still in the game! As a matter of fact, I FINALLY broke down and posted pics from my Memorial Day length check (check my profile album if you'd like).
All in all, I was a little disappointed, but I'm still plugging along.

exubah I need to cut about 4-5 inches myself, but I'm going to try to wait it out as long as possible. I'm @ mbl but I don't want to claim it because I know I NEED to trimerplexed (I like what Nakia said though
"claim it in Jesus Name!")..... I have tried quite a few ways to detangle my relaxed hair, and the best technique that has worked for me is to detangle damp/almost dry hair. For some reason, my hair is more durable in this state..., but detangling by loading it with conditioner or on wet hair didn't work well for me. If you have to cut back to sl (which I hope is not the case), at least you'll love your ends.... How did your rollerset hold up this weekend?
Well even though I wasn't going to do it the urge was too strong and so I went ahead and cut about 3-3.5inches last night taking me to a few inches above BSL but still below APL. I'm going to try the detangling on damp/almost dry hair, perhaps it will work for me.
My rollerset kept my edges pretty much straight for the entire weekend. My hair is shedding really bad right now so I am going to DC on dry hair with AOGPB for a few hours Thursday night. I'm trying to see how long I can hold out with this relaxer but if I can't get my shedding under control by next week I'm gonna have to cave in.
Totally LOVING how even/blunt my hair looks now

@Ms_CoCo37 you have beautiful curls.

I think that the reason why I also will feel like middle back is still short to me is because of all the darn shrinkage I get in normal hairstyles.

I'm still hoping to make MBL this year. I'm in a slow growth cycle right now, but I think I can make it by December.

I washed and DCed my hair tonight after the gym. I really can't tell if it is growing or not. It looks really long when it is wet, but my new growth is crazy and it curls up and shrinks. (I am 7 months post). Anyway, I probably won't know where I stand until I do my next length check. My last was April and I have one scheduled for September.

Checking in, ladies! I'm so busy and tired, but at least I had enough sense to co-wash, bun, and moisturize...LOL.
I won't be doing a length check (with fully straightened hair) until next month or September, but I think I finally hit BSL. I'll try to post a pic w/ at least stretching my hair.
HHG!

It is amazing the difference in your hair after getting it trimmed! Keeping it like that is the hardest part for me too....

THANK YOU SPRING!!!!!!!!!
i just happened to see this comment because i used to not have the courage to look much at this thread for MBL......when i couldn't get past SL, i didn't see any hope.
now, like you said, BSB is my next stop and i'm still in AWE!
i guess i ought to hang out on these longer hair ladies' threads more often, and who knows, maybe i'll be joining y'all's club! (yeah, now i can hope!)

Girl, I know you plan to get at least mbl by the end of the year so, why not hang out here? Who says you have to do one length goal at a time? Pull up a chair and make yourself at home, missy! You're on a roll with your growth.

awww! NJoy, Spring, you ladies are just the SWEETEST!!!
i've always thought the shorter haired ladies weren't "allowed" into the longshot challenges, whereas, ladies like yourself are encouraging and inspiring me to stop limiting where my growth can go!
OK LADIES, I'M IN!!!!!! see ya on the other lengthy threads and THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING ME SO MUCH HOPE!

Alrighty then!!!!!! Looks like I will be relaxing on or before 21st July, God willing. I'm still shedding....I should have done a black tea rinse last night....well it was kinda early early morning like 1am this morning when I washed my hair. I DC'd on dry hair with AOGPB for a few hours and then co-washed with YTC. My hair feels great but this shedding

hi Eubah!
excuse me, but what's YTC?
i love love love all AO products but haven't tried the cowashing it out with other cd's yet...
btw, has the black tea rinse ever left your hair dry feeling or crisp?
i've tried it, but it can be drying (maybe i do it wrong), so that's why i use the garlic instead.
thanks!

hello everyone ...
Grow.. I really loved the tea rinses that I did..my hair felt great, .. the only thing I didn't like about it was the staining on my white t-shirts and pillow cases. Some people don't have this problem, so I think I must have been using too much tea. I might try this again though.
wyldcurlz.. have you figured out what was causing the setbacks?

Sorry, I was traveling today and am just now seeing this. YTC is Yes To Carrots and it is a moisturizing conditioner that smells yummy (think baby powderish)
I don't do the black tea rinses often enough to take note of an obvious dry feeling or "crisp". It's been quite some time since my last tea rinse (like a year or more
)

How are you doing, I have been so Busy with the Mr. and now my boys are back. I have used 1 thing up.
My NTM Silk Touch Leave in is all finished.
I am also going to be making a couple of trips to the Salon for the SUmmer, I think since I like to pamper myself in the warmer months usually from May - September.
I am also putting this on prepaid cards and making request for gifts for gift certificates.
I Realized I miss being pampered.
I had a Prescriptive Facial, Pedicure, Wax and my hair done this week and it felt so relieving. I haven't gotten this much attention in such a long time. I feel like a new woman
I think the Mr. Needs one he is a bit cranky!

Exubah I feel your pain on the shedding, I was shedding a lot over the spring and winter but it's reduced now. So hopefully there is an end in sight for you.
I'm thinking of getting a 2 to 3 inch cut which will take me to just above BSL. My transition has just hit that awkward stage (6 months) and I've noticed a lot of split ends

Well ladies, I think I'm going to have to leave this challenge. My ends were so raggedy and I've had so much post-partum shedding that I had to cut 4 inches off. I'm now back on the quest for BSL. I'll be back in this challenge for 2011.

Sorry about the temporary setback. I must say, your hair is bee-yoo-tee-ful!!!
