With a head of hair like that I think it's obvious that you're way done with this challenge! No length check shirt needed! So full!!!
 
Here is my April measure.. Pretty Happy :grin:
The first pic is from my December 2012 measure, I guess Starting Point for this year and the 2nd pic is from yesterday. I am officially BSL :grin:
I still have work to do on my thickness, but Im pretty happy, considering I thought I didn’t get much growth between the measures !!

Gonna check in:


I think adding biotin to my regimen really helped for some reason. I feel like my hair is actually growing, and I've only been taking it for a month.

Photos below show length in Early February (2/8/13) and March 31. This is my "official BSL/MBL bra" and I feel oh so close. I'll be straightening in Early May and with that a trim, but hopefully I'll be even closer!

you look close to WL! get on outta here and head to the WL challenge!:grin:
 
Hey Gang I've been on but silent lately because I'm a bit disgusted with my hair :ohwell: I'll get over it... So I've been bunning, exclusively, I don't even want to look at it until June.

Looks like everyone is making great progress! :yep:
 
Thinking about trying my hand at roller setting ... my ends are not appreciating this every week flat iron business. My ends do not have an appreciation for twist outs either ... my ends do not have an appreciation for much these days. Looking forward to next week because a dusting is in order.

I hope you all are doing well ...

Beautiful hair! I can't wait to approach this length!:grin:
 
Cut another 3/4 inch off in addition to my 1 inch 6 weeks ago. As with last time I feel good about it. My primary issue now and what lead to why I feel the need to cut so much is impatience :hammer: can someone tell me where to buy this in bulk?! :lachen:

So I'm hanging at BSL at my longest layer, I may just hang here until June we'll see. Since I've been texlaxing more I finally see my thickness returning :drunk: when I twist my hair there's a distinct difference in bulk as I move from the first 4 inches and then gradually down - why did i ever try bone straight! :hammer:

Back to bun this baby up... HHG!
 
Just purchased a lace wig so I could boost my ps-ing power. I've been at BSL for far too long.
 
I've been so tired after work most days to do anything with my hair. I just throw on my scarf and that's it. I've started cowashing every other day so I hope that makes up for me not m&s like I usually do. Still in a bun though.I hope I'm grazing mbl by June. If I am I plan on cutting back to bra strap so I can thicken my ends up and go from there.
 
Been co-washing about 3x a week lately and will probably keep on this as it gets warmer.

Also been wet bunning :)
 
going to focus on my ends and quiet the urge to cut them all of the time. i'm going to go even more easy on product and see if i can go with washing my hair once a week instead of every couple of days. i am trying to do this while stretching. i am too busy and kind of lazy to relax, so i am going to try my best to avoid breakage.

i really hope to be MBL by late summer. i know i should be BSL or touching it by June.
 
i was féd up of my splits and layers so i cut my hair back to apl. hoping that now retention will be better. im gonna dust more frequently. like every 8 weeks (fine hair here).

i really wont make it to mbl this year..... :-(
i think its better if i step out of this challenge .
i'll keep lurking as i liked it here though lol !

good luck ladies

when did that happen? i wouldn't step out. NikkiQ had her hair cut to SL and she still made APL in the same year. give your hair 6 months and see where it goes.

i have trouble beleiving in my hair to retain. if i had thick hair instead of fine, maybd id be more positive :-)

wow nikki had some great growth and rétention there ! lucky girl!!! NikkiQ

im gonna put braids in next week or thé one after.
 
I'm still here. Since my last trim was December 2012, I'm going to purchase some hair scissors and snip the ends of the plaits in my hair. Also, I'm employing the LOC Method in my regimen. I like the I don't have to moisturize and seal daily since I can go an extra day with moisture. I'll be going to Vegas next weekend. But, I'm rocking a wig for protection.

coolsista-paris your hair will probably take off now. My hair is fine too and even though I've given myself two decent cuts recently my retention is excellent. I'm hoping since I have cut so much I can just dust too next time. Hang in there with us lady!
 
shortdub78, I am happy you are on the mend; I didn't know you weren't well before. Very happy things are improving health wise for you … God is good!!!

coolsista-paris, I looked at your pix and unless I'm bugging your hair is still at a length to achieve your goal by December. I know you've been in the hair game for a while and heat has been kind to you at times but do you think there's a possibility that the flat ironing is the cause of the issue (the splits)?
I don't have that much room to talk, considering I flat ironed every week for 4/5 weeks. What I've noticed was my ends were super dried out and snappy even though I'd d/c with moisture and used an amount of heat that was reasonable. Although I like straightened hair for styling, I can't use heat as often as I planned … trying my luck at rollers as I type.
In the end every head of hair is different but I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the possibility of flat ironing being the culprit. Regardless of what you choose to do (leaving the challenge or staying), I'm cheering for ya. HHG!!!
