My wrist is about were my waist is. Hopefully I'll be there at the end of this next year.
 
BoingBoing your hair is beautiful. Maybe I have the wrong perception of what WL is... aren't you already WL? Your hair is what I want mine to look like by the end of the year. Maybe you meant to join the HL challenge, lol either that or you're 6'11"
 
Hello...Ladies

Posting my starting pic...its from November when I got a trim......Had a little breaking from my last color....in August...not a lot but I didnt moisturize my hair as well......So I plan to do deep condition my hair biweekly monthly protein treatment....

Growth aids, castor oil and my MN mix...applied at least 3-4 times a week
Keep my hair up, and ends protected.....

So without further ado here is my starting pic....

Ladies, there is so much beautiful hair going on in this thread :drool:.
I didn't make MBL this year, but I'm not far from it :yawn:. I want to reach full WL by the end of 2011. Can I please be added to the challenge? TIA.

My plan:
1. Cowash once a week and do braid n'curl
2. Bun for the next 6 months at least
3. Finger detangle 1x/week and comb every other week
4. Keep hair stretched 24/7
5. No heat

I'm trying to follow the rules for once (no wash n'goes, protective styling, etc.), consistently, to see if I can hit my goals faster. Oh the sacrifices we have to make :lol:.

Welcome! I agree with Janet your plan sounds good, you should definitely make WL this year.

This week I plan on doing a roller set & flat iron followed by a very light trim or dusting of my ends ... pics to come soon :yep:
 
Hey ladies! So I may be dropping out of this challenge. I've been doing a long term transition to natural for the past 18 months and just made my end of the year goal of MBL. I planned on being WL around May or June and grazing HL by Dec 2011, but I'm thinking of doing the BC in Jan. I straightened for Christmas but wasn't liking how thin my relaxed ends felt in comparison to my thick natural hair...so, I got a big urge to cut it and I did! I didn't cut it all over just the ends so I really don't know how much I took off but it's around 6 inches. I believe I'm between APL and BSL now. I'll be cheering you ladies on from the sidelines though!!
 
^^^ Yep 4 more days until 2011 finally sets upon us and we GROW this hair for 2011 seriously. No Set Backs, No SHS, NO Bandwagons :) :look:
 
Hola! Sign me up, my starting picture is below.

I just finished the BSL 2010 challenge. If you are interested, you can find my 2010 photos here:

I'll be honest with y'all up front. I suck at regimens. Most of the time I wear my hair in its natural curly state, whether it be a wash n go, or in a ponytail/bun. But I get bored from time to time and I'll do a roller set or flat iron my hair. Sometimes I cowash, sometimes I use shampoo. I hardly ever deep condition. As a matter fact the only thing that I do on a regular basis is use Herbal Essence Hello Hydration as a leave in. I've used it so much in the past year, that I can't remember what my hair feels like without it. Anyway...good luck to all! I'll try to check in quarterly with updates!

Yeah I'm pretty excited too!

My main goal this year is to figure out why my hair was growing so slowly. In February if my hair hasn't grown to it's designated length, I have to re evaluate.
I think I'll have more than enough keratin though because my nails grow soooo fast. For some reason I don't think the proper nutrients are reaching my scalp.

This is gonna be a close one but I'm jumping in. I'm at MBL now but on Jan 5th I'm trimming back to BSL in an effort to thicken and even up my ends. I'm going to have to do some serious growing to make it back to MBL much less WL but what the heck. I'll join the challenge and maybe I'll get some good growing vibes from you all :grin:
 
I have a slight change to my regimen. . . already :lachen:. I'm taking bunning out of my regimen for now. Like Lovelylife my hair (until recently) hasn't been growing/retaining and I don't think bunning is necessarily going to make that happen. Also I want to follow in the shoes of the long haired ladies who don't protective style. It can definitely be done and I want to perfect my own low manipulation reggie.

So instead of bunning, I plan to wear my hair down keeping it up by doing a pineapple at night, bantu knots, and braidouts when it gets old. I'll still be doing the cowashing and braid n'curl every 7-10 days.

Welcome!!.....I'm on the same boat.....made MBL but then I cut back to APL and have had a few setbacks since then. With the vast knowledge and support of all these ladies in this challenge has I'm sure we will make our WL goal for 2011 and if not well there is 2012 if God spare's life!!
