Ok, I'm about three inches to APL...not sure if WL is attainable in 2012 since my hair grows soooo darn slow, but this seems like such a fun challenge so I'm in.
My hair regimen is pretty simple. I have one "hair day" set aside each week. Whatever day this is, I prepoo for at least one hour with EVCO, EVOO, Avocado Oil, honey, Wheat Germ Oil, and AOHSR,
Wash with sulfate free shampoo, d/c with a protein/moisture balanced conditioner under the dryer for 30 minutes, and roller set my hair.
I moisturize and seal my hair twice a day using one of the following: UBH Creme Moisturizer, S Curl No Drip, Elasta QP Mango Butter, or ORS Olive Oil Moisturizer-Seal with: EVCO or Argan Oil. I clarify once a month; heavy protein (Aphogee 2 step) every 6 weeks or so; light protein every other week (Aphogee 2 minute).
I PS (normally a bun or updo) most of the week. That's it. Nothing elaborate.

Please add me to the list. By my calculations I should be at WL by the early parts of 2012, hopefully...fingers crossed. I've actually bet my neighbor that I'll be at WL by March/April 2012, so I'm doing everything I know to get there.
I'm co-washing 1-2x per week, massaging my scalp with aloe vera gel and oil, moisturizing with my spritz twice a day, trimming once a year and straighten once per year (no more than twice) and keeping my hair braided under wigs.

I want to join the challenge, but I really have my fingers and toes crossed to be WL by the end of 2011. If not, I plan to keep at it...
For now…
-Protective styling (I’m good with wet buns).
-Co-wash 2-3x weekly.
-DC at least once or twice a week.
-Very little heat/Air dry or Cool blow dry (when rushing).
-Massage scalp with JBCO 2x a week.
-Moisturize and seal at night.
-Wet baggy ends at night.
-Texlax every 12 weeks/Trim when needed.
My Favorite Oils:
EFAGold Coconut Oil (Extra Virgin Organic)
EVOO
Eden Foods Organic Safflower Oil
JBCO

I think I can make this. Please add me to the list.
Currently:
-12 inches of hair with about 3 inches of texlaxed ends left...the rest is natural.
-Protetive style is buns. I have done straight bun for over a month now, but will switch it up with weaves and twists.
-since i sweat alot in my scalp, I co-wash about every other day or every 3 days
-shampoo once every other week herbal essence hydralicious self-targeting shampoo
-moisturize with my own concoction in applicator bottle about every 3 days. (sorry can;t say what it is...I'm trying to create a product).
-seal with any oil I have on hand (coconut, olive, vatika)
-spray hair every 2 days after co-wash with aphogee keratin & green tea reconstucter and pro-vitamin daily leave in, roux 233 special leave in treatment vials, philip pelusi rP2 HaiRx X-Treme Daily Treatment( i mix into one bottle)
-deep condition once a week with ors olive oil pack or roux mendex pack.
-no heat
I am currently in that dreaded in between stage of SL and APL. I hopefully will be full, blunt APL by the end of this year. I think my issue will be consistency and keeping out of the sight the scissors. I am scissor happy....got it from my momma. I notice though with bunning and protective styles i may only have to trim 3 times a year.
I may also try to take some hair/skin/nails vits, and go back to henna.
pics are of my bun, my hair from back of my head before trim June 16 '10, and after trim June 16 '10

Count me in! My goal used to be full MBL, but I think I want to try to get to WL. Might take me until 2012...I'm a slow grower and I trim a lot. Would be great to get there sometime in 2011...but hey. You never know.
Need to figure out a steady regimen and stick to it...I jump around a lot.

Transition Over
I'd like to join!!
I'm about six inches away, and was hoping to make WL by early-mid 2012, so this challenge is perfect for me.
I don't have starting pictures yet, but my regimen is (once a week and in sections):
1. Use Aphogee 2 Minute Reconstructor.
2. Shampoo with Organix Shampoo.
3. DC with Nexxus Humectress, for at least an hour. Sometimes I use a hood dryer, sometimes a steamer, something nothing.
4. Use Porosity Control.
5. Apply leave-in, Chi Silk Infusion, and castor oil.
6. Rollerset.
7. If 10+ weeks post, flat iron roots.
I want to start incorporating black tea rinses really soon too, once I work out the easiest way to do them. If any ladies use them with success, please PM me about how you do them. I'd be really grateful.
I'm can't wait till we're all swinging our WL hair!

I'd love to join this challenge. 2012 has always been my WL goal date. I'm hoping to make it there by mid 2012, but I should definitely be there by the end of the year 2012. I just need to stay motivated to continue to DC for the next two years

I'm in! I don't know how I'm going to hold on to these relaxed ends long enough to make it to WL, but dangit, I'll give it a try!
My regimen/plan:
Shampoo and DC once per week. Spritz hair twice daily with bottled water and seal with oil.
I plan on incorporating a cowash into this as well once per week.
I will try to remember protein treatments once per 1-2 months
My style: Back to bunning maybe? Still deciding...
My products:
Shampoo: Wen (switching to Burt's Bees because I'm almost out of Wen)
Deep Conditioner: Honey, Olive Oil, and Coconut Milk (starting tomorrow)
Protein: Add an egg to my DC mix
Daily Moisture: Shea Moisture African Black Hair Elixir (once daily), and WATER!
Cowash: Aussie Moist
Sealant: Coconut Oil forever!
ETA:Other things I'm doing to aid in my overall health that may affect hair growth:
Daily Fruit/Veggie Smoothie (strawberry, bannana, mango, peaches and carrot juice)
Multi-vitamin
Increased water intake
(Working toward exercising)
