MBL Challenge 2011

I did a length check today and I am 2" away from MBL! :yay: :yay: It looks like I grew approx. 2" since January!!! I will do a true length check when I reach MBL since I am in the No Heat Challenge!

Janet' your hair looks very pretty and healthy !

HHG...grow&retain
 
Here's how tonight went: Co-washed with Motions Moisture Plus, leave in was CHI keratin mist, and moisturized with HE LTR leave-in. Now air drying :)

I flat ironed my hair yesterday. and yes cowashed it tonight. I officially don't like wearing my hair flat ironed, which works in my favor if I want to make MBL before year end

How often are you guys trimming your hair this year? if at all

I plan hope to barely make WL by the end of the year and trim back to full MBL.

I just did my cassia treatment this week, flat ironed hair for an interview but plan to run today so a cowash sounds likely to follow. The right side of my hair is almost to MBL but ohh the center is lingering behind :sad:

Your hair looks good thick healthy and w the trim you won't need a trim or dusting for a while and just concentrate on DC moisture and growing that hair. Do you wear PS cause that helps retain mad amounts of length.
I still believe you can make WL this year if you go hard and don't lollygag around. Hey I'm delusional enough to star a TL challenge and think I can reach
TL in a year you can do this.

Thanks Lucia! Yeah, I'm only 2.5 inches away from WL so that's not the problem...I'm also in the HL Challenge and I'm prolly 6 inches from that so...:lachen: :lachen:

But yeah, I do more low-manipulation styles...what I wasn't doing was DC'ing and working on my moisture...I'm back on my grind though so I know that I can make WL--if I act right, I might make it by August or September...we'll see!!!!


I'm so glad you started the TL Challenge...Dream big, I say!!! Go BIG or Go HOME :lachen::lachen:
 
I am supposed to make BSL in August but I'm really wondering what my hair looks like now! I'm in mini-braids for another 4 weeks, but after that, should I straighten or just wait? I'm thinking I should wait so I can be surprised but idk... I'm anxious!!!

WAIT. It will be worth it.
 
I gave myself a 1/2 inch and 1 inch trim in some places last week. Much needed, it had been 5 months! I'm in serious protective style mode now. BSL by August and MBL by December
 
I hit BSL!!! I cut all my relaxed ends in November after transitioning for about 2.5 years (28 months and 6 days) and I have grown the majority of that hair back! Not to mention I have been consistently trimming and/or S&D this whole time!

I am straight right now, but will be co-washing this week after about 2 workouts.

I need to get a professional trim. For the most part my ends are in good shape, but there are a few sections of hair I haven't S&D as effectively as others. I won't be doing that until December when I am good and MBL...DIY S&D until then...

Hi ladies!
I am going to have to leave you all because I am pretty sure I won't make MBL this year after I cut off the ends that got damaged by my braids. I'm not sure how much length I will lose but I am thinking it is going to put me back at around SL, and if so, I will probably only be able to realistically reach BSL by the end of the year.
Thanks for the support and good convo along the way, and I wish you ladies all of the luck in the world!
 
So I believe its time for an update:
I havent posted any pictures in this thread because I was recovering from a major setback..I made MBL last December and it was promptly "trimmed" back 4 inches..
I finally feel comfortable enough to post a progress pic..

:yep:In December I was here:

:sad:Then I was mutilated back to here:

Today:

Even though I was devastated, I remained calm and stayed consistent with my regimen..
 
SuchMagnificance Wow! what a comeback. I just did a straigthening and I have the W going on from breakage and protein overload. I may do a cut to your previous length in July if there is not any "catching" up. Very beautiful hair!
 
Hello everyone! Would like to unofficially join. Just checked my length today and I am BSL! I'm going to try to get to MBL by Dec 2011. Hopefully my summer growth spurt will get me there. I PS 99.9% of the time. I DC with Skala Fruit Cocktail and Shescentit Banana Brulee 1x a week. I use marshmallow hair cream and Seyani Hair Butter - both from Shescentit daily. I sleep with a satin scarf and bonnet every night.
 
I would like to join this challenge! I straightened my hair yesterday and am now BSL:). It will probably take me a year (or longer) since I`m a slow grower lol. I will post pics asap.

Thanks ladies..I really appreciate that..So many people around me had doubts that my would hair would grow back, actually going around and telling people that my hair would never reach that length again...Its sad how people would rather wish negativity upon you, rather than support you..I will be full MBL by December, no doubt...Even though Im not as active in this thread as I would like, know that I am rooting everyone on as well! Gooooo Team MBL 2011!!!
