ROLL CALL! RELAXED/TEXLAXED TYPE 4, past BSL please post!

[*Frisky*]

It took me almost a year to go from sl to bsl but it only took 5 months to go from bsl to mbl erplexed

This is the same for me and I think I trimmed somewhere between bsl and midback.

I used to be past BSL up until a few weeks ago after I cut my hair I am just at BSL now...there has to be more people though...I have been seeing siggys of alot of people lately with past BSL..Dlewis is one for sure.

You cut your hair? And sylver's right, Dlewis is in the 3s.

hahaha..girl yes..this stuff will grow back. I cut it a month ago and it already has grown some. It might be back to where it was when I relax at the end of next month. I still have a very very very very very small twinkle of hope that I will make it to WL by the end of 2009

My sister needs to see a thread like this. She was told that because she is a 4b, she will never have hair beyond her shoulders

 

[~Hair~Fetish~]

So how did you ladies overcome the plateau that seems to occur between APL and BSL?? Seems like I've been APL for forever and a day, even though I know my hair is longer/healthier/thicker since I got serious back in December.

It's a shame how discouraging some people can be. I'm 4b all the way and i'm BSL...most people thinks it's a weave. It's been that way most of my life, i guess since i don't have the supposed "good" hair it shouldn't be this long ! I'm going for WL and this thread is very encouraging...you should get your sister to check it out and show her it can be done

Thanks for posting! Great encouraging thread...

I'm 4a, have been close to BSL several times, but always end up loosing patience with my ends (my hair grows in layers and i can never wait for the other layers to catch up). Also i've been known to obsessively trim. I'm more concerned with thickness over length, in fact im obsessed with thick blunt ends.

I had consistent BSL length natural hair as a child and unfortunately i dont think my hair can grow to its full potential with a relaxer. I'm going to make the effort to grow my hair out one last time (maybe, lol) with a relaxer before i BC.

I'm going to step up my DCing, continue excersing and taking my vitamins, contiune my 10-12 week relaxer schedule, increase my scalp/oil massages and introduce BKT to my regimen. Hopefully i'll be able to return to this thread in 6-10 months and vote!

Hey ladies!

Curently texlaxed sitting at MBL with some APL front layers. Plan to try to be WSL by Christmas. Will get pics added since I got a new camera. 4A ( with maybe some 3ish sides and nape). This board got me there and I love all the wonderful women who share their wisdom. Slyver2, you are such an inspiration! We CAN grow some hair!

BSL Relaxed 4a/b here .

 

[theprototype]

BSL (?) here. Currently 14 weeks post-relaxer. Desperately trying to attain MBL!

 

[Raine054]

I'm MBL and relaxed. I think the main reason why I have been able to retain my length is constant protective styling. I hope to get to waist length soon.

 

[mw138]

4a relaxed BSL here!

I've retained my growth by drastically reducing the heat I place on my hair and by wearing it in protective styling at least 5 out of 7 days a week.
