MBL Challenge 2011

[NikkiQ]

Regimen:
It changes based on products or whatever style I might be wearing, but my basic reggie is washing and DC'ing on Sundays and co-washing on Wednesdays. Sometimes I DC on Wednesdays too, if I am feeling particularly steamer-hungry. I moisturize as needed - don't usually seal since I've found that it hasn't really helped me and I hate leaving oil stains on my linens. I clarify when necessary. I do amla treatments when I want stronger and more moisturized hair.
Goal Month:
August - I don't really have a choice but to make it by August since I am doing the BC at the end of August... lol. Then I'm aiming for MBL again by Dec 2012.

[Bella02]

I want to join

Regimen:
Protective styling using wigs & weaves. Hair will be braided every 6-8 weeks. I will co-wash 2-3 times a week, DC once a week, moisturize daily and seal with an essential oil mixture twice a week.

Goal Month: July 2011. My hair is scraping the top of my bra-strap but I will wait to claim BSL when the thickest portion of my hair covers the strap. Since I will likely need a decent trim in Feb. of 2011 when I straighten my hair, I am giving myself to July to reach MBL.

See my starting picture below- taken July 17th.

 

[DRL100281]

I would like to join!

Goal Month: 8/2011

Pic for starting length: My starting pic is in my siggy

 

[Aireen]

Oops, I forgot to fill this out...

Regimen: Shampoo → Condition → Blow-dry; quite boring I know.

Goal Month: Hmmm... Probably late winter, early spring of 2011 so anywhere from Feburary to May is fine depending on growth and when I touch-up.

Pic for starting length: Displayed below.

 

[SingBrina]

Hmmm my regimen? I dont know what it is yet... I know I will be wet bunning like two weeks a month the minimum, and flat ironing the other two weeks, but preferably more wet bunning, if i can go a whole month just doing it.

I am thinking about putting weave in too, only to the bottom half of my head and just blend....

i really dont know what else to add....

my starting length

I will cowash every three days if i wet bun.... (i have no set products, still looking for the best)

I plan getting my hair trimmed every four months because it is seeming to be a good idea so my ends wont get stuck together due to uneven lengths, unless it is left in weaves then I wont trim that often.

Below is my starting length, thinking of chopping an inch past my shoulders so that my layers are gone and more of my relaxer is gone... also get those bad ends off, still deciding.... and i will just hide under a half weave till it grows back to bra strap, idk...
