Thanks! I was typing that question so far I forgot to type some additional info. Anyway, my goal is to hit MBL by the fall as well. I grow about .75-1in/month. My goal these past couple months as been on retention.
How tall are you Enyo? I'm 5'5 and 20'' or something around there sounds around my length too. Oh, well I need to break out a camera and show some pics lol.

wow, everyone is doing sooo great 
. I dont know my length, as it has been hidden with PS since my last relaxer in February. I plan to relax again for the Memorial Day weekend, which will make me 15 weeks post. I am currently 10 weeks post, but doesnt look like a lot of NG to me. I cant believe I used to relax after only 6 and 7 weeks 
. Anyway, I'll be checking in Memorial Day weekend. I know I'll probably need a trim, but I plan to take pre-trim and post-trim pics. Oh, trim WILL be done by myself, I aint trustin no stylist

Got my hair blown out today, and after 2 hours and alot of heat, I must say that I'm just not feeling it . I miss my coils and kinks already even though we were fighting just the other day 
. Plus my hair looks sooooo short!!!! I did a length check and I STILL haven't gotten that last inch to BSB 
. Part of me feels like giving up 
. I'm so sad about it.
I've been fantastizing about straight hair, and now I'm so over it. If I want straightish hair, I'll do a rollerset. They look much better on me and they don't involve direct heat.
I need a new regimen because my go to's aren't really working for me. And I need to get my retention together. For the past 2 months, it's been terrible.
Sorry for the rambling. I just needed to let this out and hopefully get some encouragement

I'm 5'6", so that sounds about right for our height.

I'm late but please add me to the challenge. I have been slacking lately and need some accountability. I am currently BSL when flat-ironed.
I'll be washing and DCing twice a week, lightly blowing out hair to stretch for manageability after each wash, buns with coconut oil on scalp and ends. I will also try to stop using so much gel on my edges.

Well I must say-your hair looks really nice and oh so healthy! You might surprise yourself and make it before then.

It is going to be OK. You are not alone *singing in my Micheal Jackson voice* 
Because it is warming up, maybe try more co-washing. I use Care Free Curl Gold (CFCG) for moisture and verty light protein. My hair loves it. Are you DC'ing? We are all trying to get to the same goal, so NO GIVING UP 
This more than a challenge, this is regimen perfecting, in order to grow long, strong beautiful hair. Hang in there

Thank you
so much for the support!!!I've been so off and on regimens it's shameful
. One minute I'm cowashing daily, the next I'm rollersetting every week! I've been all over the place. Like you said, this is really about perfecting a regimen and that's part of the reason I've been experimenting so much. Also my former love/tolerance of shrinkage has died, so my go to wng seems so unappealing to me. Right now I'm doing a little research and self-reflect to see if I can come up with a new reggie for the next month.

I am going to be ending my stretch a couple weeks early due to a family emergency. My grandfather passed away on Sunday and I want a straight look for his funeral on the 1st May without using a flat iron. I'll probably relax tonight or tomorrow night because I have to travel to another island.

My deepest condolences Exubah.
I will say a prayer for your grandfather and for your family tonight.
May God keep you and comfort you.

Awwwww thank you ladies, I will definitely need a lot of prayers........he was old (92) but it was sudden and unexpected. I spoke to him the day before (Saturday) and I dreamt that someone whispered to me "Daddy's gone" that night/early morning.....he must have been "travelling" (a terminology we use here in The Bahamas).
I'm thinking of wearing my hair in a low pony with the ends straight with possibly a hat....I'm torn on the hat though because I have never worn one to church before.....I know I won't be able to find it till maybe after the service anyway....we get very crazy over!

I'm puttin fertilizer up there!
Miracle Gro!!!Thanks for the compliment. It was my goal to go from "bald" to WL in 3 years, and I think I'm going to make that goal!!! (Bald meaning, the day of my last relaxer, when I started growing my natural hair out)
I'm just trying to keep it moisturized, put away, not much direct heat, and be healthy in general to help it keep growing.

Here I grow again!
So sorry to hear of your loss, Exubah. My prayers are with you and your family. Also praying traveling grace to cover you during your trip.

Hi Whimsy
To be honest, I don't remember. Maybe it was just the flash? Or it might have just been remnants of my cutenss castor oil mixture that I put on my scalp. Sorry that I can't be more help.
BTW love your hair
