MBL 2010

I still haven't decided if my ultimate goal is an even MBL or a WL "V." I guess which ever comes first. Probably WL "V."

Yeah, when I first started I think my goal was BSL. I think my ultimate goal may be WL (see, I changed my mind already), though I am REALLY interested to see just how long my hair will grow. I know that I do want my hair to look a certain way in a bun. I want it to wrap around a couple times. :lol: I love the way Traycee's hair looks in a bun. I want my hair to look like that. I think she's WL. :yep: Even though my hair is (possibly) MBL now, it doesn't look like much in a bun. :nono:

Uhhh....nevermind then. :lol: I couldn't IMAGINE dealing with HL hair. WOW!!

ETA: But at the same time, I AM curious to know if my hair WILL grow that long. Hmmm...

Okay, yeah I've decided....WL it is. That's my ultimate goal. Full WL!!!

For now!! :look: :lachen:

Okay I lied. After looking at this thread HL, maybe even TBL won't be so bad. :look: :lol:

Currently hiding my hair with a PS, but today I am going to untwist and do a twist out for the upcoming week...Trying not to focus on length and just enjoy the ride!
 
Prepping for a relaxer tomorrow. Henna/Indigo one week later. I'm wearing my hair in a high ponytail now. Tried to take it down and part it and holy moley. :ohwell: The uh...texture :rolleyes: is off the chain. Tomorrow should be interesting.
 
HE Long Term Relationship! I tried it for the first time today - AMAZING! My hair feels like SILK! I didn't cowash with it, I used it as a leave-in. I wonder how amazing of a cowash it will be....but I really love my Tresemme Naturals, so it can weight on that. I also tried another new product in place of my other styling stuff: L'Oreal Out of Bed Texturizing Gel-Cream. It sorta reminded me of the Tigi Curls Rock, except not drying and my hair feels sooooo soft!. I sealed with olive oil, put my hair in a ponytail, tied down the front with a scarf, an blotted the ponytail with a microfiber towel. My hair feels, yes again AMAZING! I am gonna try coupling these 3 things together for the rest of the week to see if its a fluke or if I have found a simpler combo to replace my old ones. And it was SOOO much quicker: cowashed and styled in 20 minutes flat (including regular showering)
 
Texlaxed my hair today and followed with a moisturizing steam dc. My hair is soooo friggen soft!!! I let it airdry and was going to flat iron my texlaxed sections for a length check but decided that it feels like perfection. why mess that up. Besides, I still have to do my henna/indigo on Tuesday. Yay! I'm excited! :yep:

Wow! Thanks, Grow, but uh...yeah, I'm not claiming it. Maybe at the end of August I'll feel more comfortable but, I have to say this is the longest my hair's ever been and I can feel the fullness. Not a big change since last month but, at least I don't have to stretch it to see that the longest layer is below bra strap. So, that makes me happy. :yep: But, I'm definitely going hard the month of August. I'm keeping my hair in a baggied bun and rocking my phonytail, mama. :grin:
 
Congrats NJOY!!!!!

I'm currently PS'ing...still trying not to think about length!

Thanks ladies...Let's keep growing!!!
 
Took my install out today. Just got done washing acv btr and dc'ing. Man my hair feels sooo good right now. But damn I had tons of shedding,Im not tripping though its just postpartum shedding as well as shedding from being in an install for 11wks. My hair is still hella thick. I'll be back tomorrow with pics. I can't do anymore tonight my hair wore me out, got my feet all hurting. I'll be flat ironing tomorrow. Hopefully I can claim Full MBL when its straightened, **crosses fingers**

Thanks ladies, I cant believe I made MBL. Im debating right now on if I should trim now or in Dec. If I trim now Im definitely staying in this challenge.
 
My hair is growing at a nice pace at the moment. My hair is kept in braids all the time and I wear a wig as my protective style. If I keep going at this rate I should be able to make MBL by the end of the year!

Following the same, hope to be there with you at the end of this trail. :)

:crossfingers:

I am almost a week in these braids and looking towards the next three, after that I will wash down Delia and put her up and pull out Dandi or Elise for the next four weeks, :)
 
I havent been in here in awhile but everyone is making lovely progress:grin:. Im still in the challenge havent trimmed since march.

So today I blow dryed my hair and when my hair was about 95% dry I added blue magic bergamont grease to it (the green kind), and then finished blowdrying.My hair swells yet shrinks at the root. But thats okay since I was not going for a straight look. Lets just say Im very very thankful my hair is layered. I can only imagine if it was all one length :nono:

Afterwards I cornrowed my hair. It's pretty sloppy but it will do for now. I just made sure my makeup looked decent so it didnt look like I belong in prison :look:

I have my hair in a low bun. Never did one before, but I like it. I used another sorta new combination of products. I'll discuss later in the week if I like it. Gonna stay bunned up with week because I want my minimum half in this month for my bday.
 
Hey ladies. Straightened my hair for the first time the other day, since I began my transition 13 months ago. Did a roller set and lightly flat ironed. Been enjoying my transition, and since it's been straightened, it's been so nice to finally feel like my hair is getting kinda long lol. Didn't really feel that way until now. I'm trying to decide if I want to get a sew in this weekend or wear my own hair for a little bit longer. If I wear my own hair, I'll be doing buns mostly, and curly puffs occasionally. May attempt a twist out..

Here's a few pics if you didn't see my thread:
