I just went to a salon for the first time IN SEVEN YEARS and had a great experience.
I got a silk press and a SLIGHT cut, which I don't consider a set back to my MBL/WL 2012 challenge because my ends reeeeaaaallly needed it.
Now, I'm either going to get the Splitender and maintain at home every 2 months or so, or seal my ends like Fort Knox and keep going to this salon.

Can I join???
I just straightened my hair for the first time since May and I am actually 1 in from BSL so hopefully I will be there by January....so now I am focusing on MBL for 2012
There's only a 2 inch difference from BSL and MBL on me, so hopefully I will be there by May or June. SO excited!

Current Length 1 inch from BSL
Current State of Hair Natural
Regimen- Less manipulation, I just straightened my hair and don't plan to straighten it again until February 2012, and then again in May or June. I plan to wash every 2 weeks and in between that time I plan to keep my hair braided up...the back section of my hair gets A LOT of SSKs so I plan to band the ends of the braids in the back. I also ensure my hair is moisturized, I honestly can't remember what products I use lol
Goals for each check-in date February- Full BSL
What month in 2012 you hope to be at MBL By my June check in

Hi, I would like to join. I wanted to be WL by Dec 2012 but I don't think I will be a peace with my layers. So, I'm trying to make it to MBL and start trimming for blunt ends.
Current Length BSL
Current State of Hair Texlaxed
Regimen
Alt week of moisture and protein
Moisture week
prepoo with Dabur Amla intensive treatment mixed with WGO, poo, DC with steam. I've been using hemp oil & AOHSR
Protein week
prepoo with molasses, WGO, and Suave condish, poo with clarifying or chelating poo, Aphogee 2 min or Dudley cream protein, Steam DC with AOHSR
I normally let my DC stay in all night after steaming. My hair feels so good the next day.
I'm about to change somethings up. I'm going to go back to using Indian powders mixed with condish and tea rinsing. I have a couple of Indian DC to try that have henna in them. I will try that one prob in Dec. I'm trying to add one product per month to really see how my hair responds. I really need to be in the use up your stash challenge too.

Update: After my last wash day last week I'm about one inch away from full APL. I'm still on Hairfinity but I started taking an additional 1000mcg of Biotin on Friday and call me crazy but I think I'm already seeing growth.
One good thing about re-growing my hair after this setback, I'm seeing how fast my hair can go from barely SL to APL if I take care of it and give it a boost via vitamins.
yep: I hadn't thought much of projections but now since my hair's growing at 1 inch per month here's my projection for the rest of this year and 2012.
full APL/BSB~November 21(my birthday or soon thereafter)
BSL~end of January 2012
MBL~end of February/early March (only 1 inch between BSL-MBL for me)

Welcome @Whimsy! I forgot that you cut your hair!
And do you really think it'll take til September to get to MBL? You'll probably be there by early spring!
Beautiful hair, btw
I hope you're right!!!! But, yeah probably september, I figure I'll make full bsl by may and then it's another inch or 2 to full MBL....but I'll probably trim at some point sooo Sept maybe Aug seems realistic with 1/2 inch a month and hopefully retaining it all.
My plan, BSL May, MBL Sept, WL December..... cross your fingers for me.

You're confusing me! In that pic, you only look like you're an inch or so away from BSL!
Also, MBL and WL are only an inch and a half apart on you? They're like 3.5 inches apart on me. I think you're wearing your bra really low!

When I say BSL I mean full bsl, my brastrap covered, not just barely reaching my brastrap.
MBL and WL are about 2 inches apart I'd say.

OHHH! Full BSL makes more sense then. I was about to diagnose you with severe hairrexia!
Anyway, welcome to the challenge!

Hi ladies! I haven't logged on in a while. I am a sniff away from BSL, should be there by end year. I plan to start taking chlorella, biotin and MSM before the end of this month and increase protective styling. I am 7 months post and will relax just before the new year.

One of my friends just pulled my hair because she was being nosy and she told me that my hair was getting really close to my bra strap. I don't know what "really close" means, but I am assuming that my hair has to be at least APL again for her to make that statement. I know it will probably take an extra year (if not more) for all of my layers to catch up, but if my back couple layers reach a milestone, I definitely claim it!
In any case, I am excited for December. I hope I really am close to the strap!
