Of course we WILL hold you to that :grin:

You looked pretty close to MBL in your April siggy pic so I'm pretty optimistic that your're there or beyond :yep:
 
LoveLiLi.....your hair looks AWESOME regardless. You are very close to MBL (BSL is so close I'm not even gonna mention it)....don't get discouraged.

Thanks, Exubah. I'm going to wear it in a loose bun until ~January, so I won't drive myself crazy checking the length.

i agree, Nikkigirl, i love your pics, thanks for posting them!

btw, in those pics, what do you have on your hair: is it oil or a gel?

thanks!

I don't have anything on it. I pulled it up first. It was still pretty damp. Victoria's Secret conditioner makes my hair feel really soft and slick, so I didn't put anything else on.
 
LoveLiLi your hair is gorgeous. You look very close to your goal. And your hair looks super healthy, so great job. Exubah, your hair is not far from BSL and I love the blunt ends. I do agree with JJamiah, step away from the scissors. LOL.

Thanks so much for the encouragement & the compliment. Though I doubt seriously I'll make MBL, I will be riding this thread out with you ladies. I'm still reaching for WL in 2011. This will probably be my final length check this year.

Girl I don't think I will reach MBL in 2010 either, but I am still trucking along and trying. I would have for sure if I didn't get a trim but Oh well, what can we do.

Your hair is looking good to me. Do you have highlights? Sometimes we have to forgo length for condition. There is nothing wrong with that. :grin:

Thanks. My highlights are a year old. I've been trying to decide what to do. I don't want them anymore but I don't know if I want to go back black or dark brown.
 
Here is mine-fresh relaxer 8-18-2010 and new layers and bangs...Don't think I will make MBL by 12-1-2010 but will keep trying.

Everybody seems to be coming along great. If we're shooting for December 1 to meet our goals, we still have 3 full months to make it. I'm personally giving myself until Dec. 31st to make goal, so that will give me at least 4 months to make it.

If I can get past the bottom of my sports bra, I'll consider myself there. Come on growth spurt!

Great job everyone, and keep up the good work!
 
Encouraged by everyone...haven't done a length check since the beginning of July and I probably won't even do one (wet stretch) until October because I don't want to be too disappointed...Still using low-manipulation styles to push through.
 
Hi ladies haven't posted here in a minute. I trimmed my hair so I think I'm back to APL or a bit lower. My camera is broken so I have to look for another way to post pics. I know I won't make MBL this year but I'll come in from time to time to cheer everyone else on.
 
Hey chica's I haven't posted since July so this is a quick update.:grin: I relaxed on August 5 and my ends were not split, but really thin!:ohwell: I had my stylist trim 2" off. I was mbl and now I'm 1.2" from bsl. I'll be back to mbl by 12/10. I probably will reach wsl by 6/11.
 
I agree, everyone's looking good (and with healthy hair!). been super busy but as an update, im 9 weeks post, and i dont plan to relax until december for the final reveal. i'm alternating between bunning and cornrows (no extensions). i'm still on track to make mbl by the end of december if i get these 2inches by years end. i understand everyone who's trimmed thus far. i trimmed twice this year which set me back significantly, but at the end of the day i'd rather reach mbl )whenever that may be) with healthy hair/ends than scraggly split ones. health over length now, so we can have both later! :yep: and congrats to those who have already made mbl! kudos!!

When you stretch your hair you were there at your blue line already, You did this a BSL come on your already MBL :lachen:

GIRL you are flying by these challenges & I love it :grouphug:

Keep up the great work, so how long are you planning to grow?
 
Black Hoya your hair looks great. I love it. Your longest layers are at MBL. Are you growing out your layers?

I want WL. So I guess 3-4 more inches since I am now claiming MBL. lol

and I don't know If I am going to grow them out completely. At the least, I will keep my face framing one in the front, and maybe have a long one in the back. Thats sort of how I trim it now after I trim for my U-ish/V-wish shape.
 
I'm noticing that many bras on the length checks are small. I'm plus size and my bra clasp area is much wider so I'm thinking if (when) I reach the bottom of my bra I'll be mbl or pretty close. hhg

hi Casey!
i'm not even in this challenge, but lurk it all the time, lol! (my mbl goals are for 2011)
but since i'm still learning the differences in the lengths, i've always seen bsl at the top of the bra, and mbl at the bottom, so wouldn't that make you mbl now?
the majority of your length is way past the top of your bra!:yep:

I'd like to know too where does MBL start??
 
Depends on where the bra is. According to the charts I've seen, mbl is just under the breasts. So, if that's where the bottom of the bra strap is, that's mbl. I've noticed many bra straps starting about a couple inches below apl and some start lower. And, of course, some straps are thicker than others. So, body measure points are more reliable than bra straps any day
