I'm 5'7". Not that all, but it is a stretch
So violent!
Idk. 2 years doesn't seem like enough time for me to hit that goal. Not really feeling like my hair growth is on point.

its not too late to join is it? I'm almost apl and I believe its only about 7 inches to mbl, I think.
here is my starting picture:
Current Length: aplish
Current State of hair: natural 3c/4a
Regimen: wash day: prepoo with olive oil or rice bran oil.wash with black soap, or baking soda if clarifying.
condition with ors or aussie moist or cpr
use infusium for leave in.
rollerset braidout twist or some other low manipulation style.
during the week I plan to try to co wash at least every other day.
moisturize and seal each night.
and I'm trying mn on a trial basis.
What month in 2012 you hope to be at MBL: doesn't matter so long as I make it!
check in dates:
August 15, 2011-bsb

Ugh. I did a roller set that didn't work out too well with my texlaxed hair. I feel like I might have had a little setback. I lost more hair than I normally do when I just straighten with a flat iron.

How did you rollerset? Do you think it was just too much manipulations?

Anyone doing anything special with their hair for the summer? I really like braids, but I don't think they did well in my hair last summer. So I will just keep doing my half wig for the next 5 months. I won't see my hair out and straightened again until the end of September. I should be APL by then or really close. Super pumped up about that.
Wigs are ok and all, but I can't wait to get enough hair for me to have some cute twists long enough to pull back, maybe next summer.

I'm going to try some air drying hair styles this summer. I may retry the roller setting after I texlax. My 4.5 months of NG may have caused my botched roller set this weekend. I'm relaxing in 5 weeks, the weekend before the conference I'm going to in June. I'll do a length check then as well.

I think I'm going to PS (wigs, buns, phonie ponies, and berets) during the week and wear braidouts on the weekends. I'll probably keep this up until the end of the year and hopefully I'm about an inch past APL.

Me!
I want MBL just because that's the length where my hair will hang at BSL on it's own without me pulling it.

Same reason why I *think* I want HL. When I was WL, my hair hung at mbl so I guess I need HL to hang at WL

Not too bad. My hair is hibernating (bunned) for the next four weeks. Then I'll texlax, color, and straighten June 10th and check out my length. I should be just 1/2 an inch from BSL at that point.

I'm still hanging in there! I have been bunning during the week and wearing my hair out in wash n go's or braid/twist outs on the weekend. But I have been cowashing daily during the week and have been experiencing a lot of unusual shedding. So I might go back to cowashing once a week (but I enjoy water on my hair daily...what's a girl to do???)
Not sure about my plans for the summer. It all depends on the the health and length of my hair by the end of June. I want to wear mostly wash n go's and braid/twist out but for now it's mostly PSing.

I am hoping to be back at APL by September, but am going for a mostly even APL by December or January. If I can manage that, I should hit MBL by September 2012. I am hoping I can get there by August 2012, since that'll be my two-year nappiversary but we'll see. I am about to go hard on this PS'ing until Christmas and then I'll see if I will continue to PS until MBL. Or maybe even until WL! Then I'm going hard on enjoying my hair.
@davisbr88 yeah, my strands are fairly fine. I got a professional trim 3 months ago. I think I am going to do a mini trim/dusting before I do my 5 month no heat stretch. I tried to a search and destroy, but its kinda impossible to get them all. Majority of the ones I've seen don't go up very far at all thankfully. I've only seen like 3 that went up like an inch or so.
