MBL 2013 Challenge!

I'm not sure, the products I'm using got me from SL to APL with no trouble at all, so I don't know what happened. Protein makes my hair brittle, so I only like to use Aphogee's green tea restructurizer after I wash/DC. I don't think I've quite gotten the porosity balance in check yet, though. I think I will go back to my SL->APL regimen with less manipulation. I'm still on the fence about transitioning. I'm texlaxed and I still find it hard to manage. :S

Try to komaza care protein, it is really gentle and it does a good Job.
 
*pokes head in, looks around* Hi ladies!

I think I might be able to join you over here in a couple of months, so I am just looking around. I'm pretty sure that I will reach the top of my brastrap (which I wear very low to keep my puppies up!) by the end of June, and since on my short torso BSL MBL are within 3 inches of each other, I think if I really take care of my hair, I can make it by the end of the year. Happy hair gowing ladies, and wish me luck!
 
Okay, here's a better shot of the length. It's wrapped so the ends have a slight curl, but yes. MBL here I come by August!

I haven't posted here in a WHILE, but I'm still on track for making MBL this year. Great growth and retention along with working out and good eating habits 80% of the time are doing me well. Even though I've been busy, I still moisturize and seal and protective style daily. Today I'm doing a much needed henna treatment to get the greys back on track and then a QH deep condition for a few hours.

BSL is in my very near future, I'm hoping by August (at the latest) and then the last 4 months I should hit MBL. Overall, I need about 4 inches to be MBL official!

Happy hair growing ladies, we got this!
 
i hope by the end of the summer or even year my ends fill out every time i cut my hair it grows back to looking v shaped. i want blunt mbl hair :wallbash:

pic 1 is my hair now
pic 2 was back in july, i did a cut, not sure how much
pic 3 was in dec, i cut but only 1 to 1.5 inches

I got that sew in a couple of days ago and took ir right back out the next day:look:. My hair and scalp were mad at me for getting one. So I am back to bunning.
 
Don't throw stones at me, but I've been out of my weave for a week & pressed my hair & these are the pictures. I know the middle pieces are longer, that's because that's how it was styled before here goes nothing...

when i slack off it really shows
From may until aug. my plan is

  • baggying every day
  • M&S every other day
  • henna every week
  • DC every week
  • praying every week :look:
  • No flat iron :cry:
  • Only bunning with hair pins (style that I hate but its the best thing that has worked for me)
  • and i need to buy some gummy vitamins
:boxing::boxing: yeah im ready
 
i plan on doing a protein treatment tomorrow evening or tuesday. i used too much serum and my hair was sticky when it was air drying. i broke about 10-12 hairs finger detangling. i was so mad at myself. i know my hair can't handle product like that. i know i say this all of the time, but i refuse to do my own touchups from now on. my hair seems to be underprocessed from last time.

and i am going to use the Aphogee 2 step. i know i said i was going to stay away from it, but my hair could use something stronger.
 
Soo, I was experiencing breakage AGAIN!:ohwell: So I decided to put myself on a strict regimen. I did Aphogee 2 Step, and now sitting under the dryer with AOHR. I will probably DC for an hour. My plan this summer is cowash and bun ONLY! Nothing fancy. I need to recover from all I have done to my hair this past month alone:perplexed. I want to get 2 inches by the end of this summer. When I do, I will be right on schedule.:yep:
 
Just cut my hair recently down to about 8" all over. No way im making mbl this year. I might be able to hit apl. Bsl is pushing it. But next year on the mbl, definitely.

Hopefully i dont have anymore setbacks.

This is thé reason why i moved back to thé bsl 2013 thread.

I cut my hair back to apl last month so... No way im making it to mbl either this year. So hopefully next year. :-(

i understand you.;-)
 
Well, just in about a week, bunning with Scurl has been good to me:yep: My breakage seemed to have tappered off. I don't want to touch my hair at all. I think if I keep this up, my hair will forgive me for last month's abuse.

No washing this week, I want to go back to stretching washing. Extremely low manipulation is the key this month.

See you both there! I'm shorter than APL at the moment, eep!
 
Roller set on Saturday and back in a bun today. While my hair was flowing in the wind it didnt seem heavy enough to me if that makes sense. My ends are great and healthy but I do know they are thinner than normal due to my 2012 learning curve. Last night I was really tempted to cut it back to below APL to thicken it up but I don't know, we'll see. It only looked bad to me..

Going off to read the unicorn fairy thread....
 
I really want to join since I just made BSL on 5/4/13 :yep:. I tried to send you a message but a message returned reading "I cannot send you private messages", is it too late:perplexed
 
well...I'll post anyway :)

1. Current Length: BSL-grazing: needing full :)]
2. Current State of Hair: 4/b Relaxed & texlaxed about 6 inches from the scalp
Regimen:
washing in 4 plaits
Extra attention when dc'ing to add more oils/dc and work it in well to my last 4 inches
hot oil treatments, nightly bagging with moisturizers or oil or baggying with no product if my ends are still moist.
Search and destroy monthly
No heat & protective styling
3. Goals for each check-in date:check my progress-a watched pot...
4. What month in 2013 you hope to be at MBL: November, I would like to be full MBL
5. Any links to a photo album or Youtube channel if you want to share: in my siggy
 
I bought 2 big bottles of shampoo thinking it was condish. Yay me. I'm outta co wash condish but won't have to buy shampoo for at least a year lol.
 
Been juicing it(scurl) and bunning it(my family is very tired of this hairstyle on me:lol: but hey it works:look:)

I have retained a good amount of length in a matter of weeks after that minor setback last month! I want to wear my hair out, but I don't want to deal with it in this hot weather not to mention PSing is being good to me.

I think I will make MBL afterall if I stick to this until the end of the year, but I gotta find another hairstyle that looks great and protects.

What buns are you doing? There's a lot of cute bun ideas out there...and you can make buns with banana clips. You can get hair clips and pins and cute headbands.
You can braid your bang and then put the rest of your hair under a satin cap under a cute beanie.
You can do a fishtail or french braid
You can do a faux braid and bobby pin your ends up and roll them so they're protected.
You can do 2 strand twists and leave them in for a while....
