[Iansan]

I'm 4a layered texlaxed so I guess midback/waist length longest layer I have apl layers in the front and they get get longer as they graduate(whatever the avie looks like to you) when straightened...

 

[hillytmj]

I'm a 4A, relaxed, full BSL and hoping to get to midback someday soon. My hair is a bit longer than my siggie, but I won't really know until I relax in a few weeks.

**ladies with specifically type 4a-4b please...without any type 3ish sections** straight up type 4a-4b!

Nice thread! Seems to be so few type 4s with BSL or longer hair compared to other hair types..

 

[Anew]

Uh, relaxed that is, lol

yeh i can't believe it. what is our problem..length retention? there were a few othr ladies such as sweetcashew etc but they are not on the board anymore. lauren/southernbella before she relaxed.

Maybe it's harder for coarser hair to retain, IDK

Or to grow Honestly I know quite a few ladies who have not signed in yet, so it is probably too early to come up with a conlusion

 

[exoticmommie]

Thanks for the inspiration ladies.

As for the reason there aren't that many. I believe that it is also because women with our hair type have the hardest time believing we can attain such lengths. I can preach to the choir because I was apart of that group.

So it is great to have threads like this because it shows we can.

 

[Missigirl]

There may be more I have no idea what type I am. I planning a touch up for mid July so hopefully I will be BSL.

 

[Nice Lady]

Have you guys considered Tracyee. I think she is 4ish. I am not sure.

 

[silverlotus]

4a WSL checking in...

I thought the same. There must be a type 5 which would be me, because my hair does NOT look like some of these people claiming 4 that I thought were 3's. Maybe when I get past BSL it will change.

 

[Tootuff]

I think I am a 4a. Never been to good with hair types but from what others have been typed as I think 4a best describes me.

4a WSL checking in...

Your siggy pic is like hair porn, lol

 

[cherryhair123]

Another observation is that I'm not seeing a lot of thick hair among the 4a/b pass bsl. Is it common to have really thick hair and exceed bsl?

lol..

I kept cutting my hair... I was a .5 inch away from APL in 2007 then cut it in a bob with layers. Then grew the layers out and cut it again, lol... I was getting bored. I think this time I'll leave it alone and just let it grow..

 

[prettykinks]

Gotta love this thread, I am categorizing it in my inspiration folder.


What have you ladies done to retain so much length? That seems to be my main problem.

What have you ladies done to retain so much length? That seems to be my main problem.

Low manipulation, stretching relaxers, no direct heat, trimming only as needed, moisturizing and protecting the ends have been very helpful for me to retain length. Healthy lifestyle (nutritious diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, avoid stress) has been important for healthy, optimal growth.

Very limited direct heat. This allows the need for trims 2x a year.
