:D Ladies we have 3 more months in this year :) wow
Amazing huh? I can't wait for the reveals :D :woohoo: then we can officially start this challenge. I am excited for that as well. I am :pray: for these two inches by the end of the year :pray:

HUH, right now I am dealing with the N-Flush itching like wow, lol but I bought them and would rather take them together then trying to remember later. LOL

I am going to Deep Protein every 2 weeks :D see how my hair likes this. Relaxer time is coming at the very end of October, with that I will dust before I go and let her no :nono: to a trim. Just Relax, Color-Rinse and a Deep condition.
 
Biting the bullet.....

I think I will join this challenge as well. I am prepooing right now and I plan to blowdry tonight.

I will post a pic

I have never done challenges and I rarely post, so this is big for me to join a challenge lol

I will try not to lurk:lachen:
 
I am in this challenge also, so I thought I would post what I did in the MBL 2010 Challenge:

So I did a length check:

I will not be claiming MBL. I had a few straggly ends there, but I won't use that as a basis to claim anything.

The first two pics are my hair and the last is where I trimmed all the ends below the top of the bra strap.

After Trim:

Just for reference, my elbows are at waist length.

Thanks for looking: I haven't gotten much growth to speak of in the last few months so I am gonna have to look at my reggie and see what I can do to help myself out a little. I have no idea to be honest. But when I make MBL. I want pretty hair and not straggly ends.
 
I had to give up on Biotin after 2wks. I'm sure the weight gain and acne would mellow after a month or so but I just cannot manage it at the moment. I've incorporated MegaTek and I'm jogging at least 1.5 miles a day (for general health and to improve circulation to the scalp). My protective style is a lf and my hair is in twists & under a scarf to prevent the lf from rubbing.
 
I have not checked in here in so long. Partly because I was trying to convince myself that I would be able to drop out and make WL this yr. But I'm not so sure at the moment. I was hoping for a growth spurt this summer especially since I've been using sulfur but I'm still getting the same 1/2 inch a month. I have 2 inches left to WL in 3 months and 3 weeks so I would have to retain ALL of my growth which is kind of hard since I'm transitioning. But I'm gonna keep my head up! Hope you ladies are doing well and making progress!
 
I want to join this so bad but I don't want to be disappointed next Dec! I am glad I have a few months left before I have to make a final decision. I have a good 6 inches left till WL.
 
Hi Ladies,

Just checking in. I'm both excited and nervous about my hair prospects in 3 months. I did a mini-check and I know that my hair is much fuller and the sides are catching up withthe middle (that retarded "V"). I think that I have gained an inch or so, but I'm also kind of nervous because WL is a LOOONNNGGGG way away...thank goodness, I've got over 12 months to make that dream come true!
 
hey ladies i just got myself a splitender from Ross for only $9.99. there's a thread on here somewhere about it. but ross across the country have it. check your local one if you're interested. i wont be able to use it until dec when i straighten again tho. im just glad that i didn't spend $70 bucks on it from off of the splitender website, when i was going to buy it in the beginning of summer. yes!!

anyways just been bunning and moisturizing and sealing. since im natural, when my hair is not straight even when i stretch it with my fingers i feel like its getting shorter. idk i know its not. (well i hope its not :/ i really hope i dont have a setback, i havent dealt with my own hair this long in over a year. i miss my installs :( i wanna know i'll have guaranteed retention, you know?
 
May I join please?=0)

I am at BSL =0( Have been there all year! Just trimmed off like 2 1/2 inches of nasty thin ends so I'm back at BSL

Right now I'm

taking silica for hair nails and other health benefits
Will be cowashing twice a week
Hawaiian silky 14 in one for moisture just for now
Seal with Jamaican black Castor oil or Blue magic
MTG laced with peppermint and tea tree oil all over my scalp three times a week OR Mt with olive oil
Will be working Aphogee Green Tea spray into my regimen once a week
Using s-curl juice on my edges which are chewed up at the moment
Will be using heat only when I have to and I will look into a product to baggy with...Maybe some s curl
Will add my starter pic to my avi tomorrow.

i hear ya, WyrdWay! i'm scuuuuured too! i won't even LOOK at how many inches i'd have until WL because that might make me believe that it's impossible. (ok, i checked and it's about 7 for skimpy, 8 for full, lol!)
please stick around and keep me company......you're already at BSL, so you're doing great!
(i'm in the 2012 challenges just in case, hehehe!)

Janet, you know ita about that V...got one going on over here, too and since my hair is now just a tad bit longer thancurrent siggy, my V is even more noticable. so this is why we really have to be thankful the sides are catching up, even though i must admit, i was sad they grew faster than my length this time around.
WL makes me nervous too! but it's an excited type of nervous! what are we gonna do with all that hair?! :-)!!!

is this some hair anorexia i'm hearing? girl, your hair is LOOOOOOOONNGGG!!!
you know how to get your hair long which is the most important thing to learn.
you also know how to retain your length, so relax sweetie, i'm sure you will be WL before the end of this year!
(i personally thought you already were, seeing those gawgeous pics!)
 
Hey, I'm a newbie and would love to "Officially" be in this challange! My goal is to be waist length 2011! Are there any rules??
 
i joined a gym. working out 5 to 6 days a week so i can sweat this hair out. but i am currently suffering from single strand knots. this is keeping me within the range of bra strap length. i will do a length check this weekend.
goodluck to everyone!

Can't wait to see the length check, and I also can't wait to start working out too! I think I will start the last week of this month!!! Wooohoooo!
 
Guess I'll Join :look:. Im aiming for Dec 2011 just to be safe....and hoping to be MBL by June 1st or sooner. The nape/bottom half of my hair hasnt seemed to budge much since reaching BSL in June. But Im noticing that the middle and sides are catching up. I think I have about 7 inches to go until I reach WL.

welcome, I love your thickness of those braid :D they are awesome :D


:welcome2: xmasbaby78 Hope you enjoy the challenge ;) read first post for any rules :) or email Exubah :D
 
Thank you! your siggy pic looks great :yep: you should model for wig companies :lol:

I wish I could use my braids to PS all the time but they look so old and shabby by the 4th or 5th day that it doesn't work :( I use the braids more so for stretching my length so i wont have to directly blow dry it all the time.

Exactly the reason I started to PS more often, I was like even though the ends aren't showing let me try to give them a break from the weekly Blow drying. Good for you....


I'D love to model for the wig companies :D I wish they would use some of us here because we could sell it better than half the Wig Models they have, they just slap one on and go :camera:
 
Yeah as long as it is good quality. Idk if the companies mind but I know I hate bad quality videos lol and I totally understand but just go for it! I was gonna start making videos but I felt extra weird talking to a camera and I felt like I was faking so I just gave up lol but if you want the free stuff, go for it!

I dunno if I'd get free stuff but I might be fun :D
I was just planning out how I'd do it, I would only go for one video weekly not to stress myself out. So I will see.

otherwise what do people use a video cam???? I'd have to put that on my xmas list. :D
Give me a link sample of what I should be looking for if you don't mind. Thanks
Love your siggy too ;)
 
checking in ladies .. Ill have a very simple routine.. henna once a month , wash and con once or twice a week ... oh and honey added to my cons.. nothing special.. simple is best for me ...
Ill blow my hair out before the end of the yr for a true update
 
DC'd using steam last night with Queen Helene cholesterol mixed with honey, grapeseed oil, evoo, wheat germ oil, and castor oil. My hair felt soo soft after that. I did a black tea rinse then moisturized with my mixture of s-curl, water, aloe vera juice. I also applied long term relationship leave in. then added jbco to my edges. And sealed my hair with evco. bunned, baggied my bun and tied my hair down with my satin scarf. (I did all this while my hair was in two plait braids) This was my first time using the Queen Helene cholesterol, suggested by shorty2sweet from youtube, this is a keeper and its cheap 80oz for $11 at Sallys, bomb. My hair feels soooooooo good this morning. Writing this it seems like I did a lot but I really didnt. This is my DC day reggie. I love it!
 
Good afternoon ladies! Just checking in to say hello. Its wash day and I think I'm going to deep condition. Hair is getting softer and easier to manage. De-tangling doesn't take as long and my natural curls are so pretty, I just wish I knew what to do with them!

Seeing that we will post pictures by the end of the year, I will hold off on pictures and try to really baby my hair and hopefully when we do year end pictures I will be closer than I think! Plus it will give me time to figure out how to post pictures on here lol! If not someone is going to have to walk me through the process :perplexed
