MBL 2010

OMG NJoy!!! You have had some amazing growth and retention this year!!! Congratulations on making MBL!!! Your hair looks awesome.
 
Njoy your progress is just amazing...congrats on making midback.

Well, after 3 or 4 trims throughout the year I am about an inch away from BSL. I might make MBL by the skin of my teeth. I plan on doing another trim anyway in December so if I make it, I won't be there for long. I am also about 75% sure I want to transition and sitting at 18 weeks post. If I can make it to 26 week, I am gonna keep it going.
 
I just had my hair straighten and I'm 1 inch from MBL. I'm so excited. No more flat ironing til December, this was a special occasion. Sorry, my camera is broken PICs when I can.
 
just straightened a few days ago and my lead hairs are MBL. Did a mini trim (quarter inch) and the majority of my hair is still BSL though. Crossing my fingers that by the end of the year, at least 50% of the hair is MBL. Then I can move on to the WL goal.
 
Congrats to all the ladies meeting their goals!

I went to the salon this weekend and got bangs and layers. My longest layer got cut an inch or two above BSL, so I think I'm going to have to bow out of the MBL challenge for this year. I'm very happy with my new hairstyle though, and the best part is that I KNOW it will grow back :yep:

Galadriel Yay! I'm glad that turned out well for you.....but, uh...where da pitchas at?
 
NJoy your hair is gorgeous! Nice growth for 8 months.
Congrats to all the ladies who have met their MBL goal or close to it!

Hopefully I will be there or close to it by the end of the year. :pray:
 
Relaxing next week and I should def. be BSL. I still have 2 1/2 months to make MBL. Im gonna really stay on it the rest of the year.
 
Hi all:

I joined the SL to APL Challenge group and I suggested that we have a speaker or a special post once a month or so from an APL or longer to offer some advice. Kind of like a guest speaker. Please send me a notification if you are interested. Its just a way we can keep positive attitudes by hearing from you, since you have been where we are now.

It would not need to be a long post, just tell us how long it took you to go from SL to APL and some advice.

Thanks
 
Mwedzi, I am such a stan for your hair!!!! Beautiful bun drop!!! I love the hair fork too, where did you get it and how many inches is it? I've been meaning to try one of those.
 
Okay MBL in 2010 ladies I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!!!! because I'm not sure what to do about this.
I've been wearing my hair curly or attempting protective styling (i'm not a good bunner or braider so protective styling is brushing my hair back conditioner and a smidgen of water into a ponytail then making an ugly tiny bun secured with a spin pin.)

By the end of the day, or whenever I remove the bun, the ends seem....frizzy. Not necessarily dry because I try to condition and seal the ends with coconut oil a few times a week. But they are frizzy and I seem to be losing a lot of hair during the bun or braid process. It also tangles up and while working out knots with my fingers, I lose hair too.

My hair is already so much thinner than it was before - I don't know I feel like I'm doing something wrong because when I look at all the heads in this post, I don't see any frizzy, thin looking ends. Any ideas?? Anything I need to do/add/change-up?

Thanks!
 
You could try oil rinses. They work for my ends.

Or maybe you could put a lot more oil on your ends before you bun.
 
wyldcurlz Make sure you tuck your ends well under and into the center of the bun, as much as possible. I think if you just wrap it and pin, they're still sort of exposed. Tuck as much of the final wrap as possible under. I hope that makes sense.
 
wyldcurlz....are you plaiting your hair before you bun? I find I retain more moisture that way. You may also want to seal with something heavier like JBCO.
 
Dang NJoy!!! You have had some amazing growth and retention this year.....and the year is not even over as yet!!!
 
Hey ladies! So I haven't checked in here in a while. I rollerset and flat ironed my hair over the weekend. I'll be 16 months post on Friday (doing a long term transition to natural.) My goal is MBL by Dec. I did a 16 month update post the other day and I think I'm grazing MBL...but probably have another 1/2-1 inch to really claim it. Want you ladies input...let me know how much further you think I have til I reach it? TIA!!

soon2bsl....You are definitely grazing MBL, congrats!!! You probably need about 1/2" to have a solid/firm claim on it, but to me you are right there.

I agree with trying to use something heavy like castor oil or shea butter to seal. What about using aloe glycerin mix to spritz throughout your hair before sealing and bunning?
