MBL Challenge 2012 Official Thread

[davisbr88]

nadaa16: I see we are going to have to stay on you in 2012 to make sure you don't slack anymore!!! But I definitely think 5 inches is possible by next December!

Beverly Ann Properties Softerlove ojemba ebonyksa Nice job, ladies! Looking good!

No updates from me. I'm still BSL.

 

[DesignerCurls]

My hair is cut in layers which I like (top layer at APL and bottom layer about 1" away from MBL) and it grows in a v-shape which I don't like so much.

Well is my length as of today:

I didn't think I was still in this challenge

No update for me as there isn't any noticeable change from my last length check on 11/20/11. Looking forward to showing progress on the next update!

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Kamilla16]

Jan 1st... Length is still APL (Barely ) Pic is in signature! I consider MBL for me a little past the bra strap.... So maybe 3-4 inches??

 

[davisbr88]

ezina againstallodds Maybe there is a noticeable change that you would only see in pictures! Maybe try taking one and comparing. If not, what can you do in the new year to ensure you retain?
DesignerCurls Ijanei: Looking good, ladies!
NikkiQ: Really? Now what in the world made you think that?
Kamilla16: I consider MBL the bottom of my bra strap when wearing my bra in the correct position (the top of the strap should line up with the bottom of your shoulder blade, as I was told at my fitting). I think MBL is a tricky one to pinpoint though. In any case, in 4" you probably will be there!

 

[davisbr88]

Still waiting on a bazillion other update pics! What is going on, ladies????

 

[Diva_Esq]

Hi ladies!
Here is my progress picture:

Also, here is a link to my update pics from the BSL 2011 thread so you can see the progress I have made between 12/2010 and 12/2011!! Long story short, this year I went from barely grazing APL to making BSL and on my way to MBL!!! I am so pumped! Now that I have accomplished BSL, I am soooooo focused on MBL!!

Happy New Year, ladies!! Sorry I am tardy with my updating, davisbr88

Come on!
Where's that ambitious girl I know?

 

[Seamonster]

I just chopped off a bunch to start fresh. So I am back at the length in my siggie.

[cocoma]

I was disappointed in my progress this year. Both weight wise and hair. Ignore the fat back,I am APL and did enjoy wearing it straight for a few weeks. Now time to put her up and push on to BSL and MBL. I really don't know why my progress is less than expected.

Dec.2010

Dec.2011

 

[Diva_Esq]

cocoma: I see great progress!! Kudos!! Your layers have grown out, your ends are neat and thick, and you gained length!! Congrats!!

 

[candy626]

@Diva Esq
Very Nice! Your ends look thick and even.

 

[candy626]

I don't have any update pictures that show where I'm at length wise besides what's in my siggy. I took that two weeks ago.

I will probably do an update at the end of this month, since I will mostly be doing wash n go styles. Particularly since I need to start working out again after gaining weight this holiday season :-/.

I need styles where I can easily rinse and shampoo my hair as needed.

 

[Firstborn2]

I just joined this challenge so I don't have any updates.

 

[MsKikiStar]

Happy New Year, ladies!!!

I've been out of town for the past week so I haven't even taken a 2011 year ending pic . I'll updated later tonight though. I'm sitting with a deep conditioning concoction on my hair as I type

 

[davisbr88]

**bumping**

 

[Whimsy]

I want in this challenge too!!

Current Length

Current State of Hair
I'm natural and staying that way forever

Regimen
winter: weekly washes/dcs and styling, lots of moisture
warm months: cowashes every few days and styling, lots of moisture

Goals for each check-in date
My goal is to just retain 1/2 inch every month (or more if I get a summer growth spurt like you girls mention sometimes)

What month in 2012 you hope to be at MBL
I think I can get there by September 2012

Any links to a photo album or Youtube channel if you want to share

Jan 2, 2012

Well here's my official starting point for this challenge. I do think I can make it there by July/August 2012 instead of September!! I'm going to try for WL by December 31!

 

[NikkiQ]

Come on!
Where's that ambitious girl I know?

I'm barely SL again so the ambition went right out the window when it was cut.

 

[Aggie]

Lurker here! Good luck ladies on achieving your MBL goal for 2012. I wish I could have joined but I'm too far behind.

 

[SherylsTresses]

Here's my starting pic...

 

[davisbr88]

Whimsy: I'm secretly hoping for WL by December 31, too...
NikkiQ Aggie You guys better stop it! Join! You never know what might happen. You've seen NJoy's progress!
