Back on track. MBL is around the 4-5 mark on this shirt for me. I'll for sure get there by summer.

I finally sat down for a whole day and did these box braids (no extensions).
Hope to have them in for about a month
Will continue to CW twice a week and moisturize every-day

Checking In …

Yesterday, I d/cd on dry hair with Beyond The Zone Last Call (I liked that d/c, might use that from here out.) After shampooing and conditioning, I dusted my raggedy ends off. I set my hair with perm rods after being inspired by Mahogany Curls's video; my hair came out really cute. I'm going to Bantu knot my hair at night to preserve the style. If I can have descent looking hair for a week, I will be soooo thankful.

I hope you all are doing well …

Just now doing my update. Stretched for 10 weeks and gave myself a small trim. This pic is from last night. It's hard to see in the newest picture but BSL for me is around the "and". I should definitely be there with my next TU.

 

[growbaby]

2 weeks until our update!

2 weeks until our update!

Am I the only one on the lookout for a magical inch of growth tween now and the 30th … I'm taking Chlorella, dranking water, and err'thing. I'm doing so much that I may fcuk around and lose an inch. Lol!!!

 

[jprayze]

NaturalfienD I am looking for that extra inch too. Would love to make BSL on the 30th so I can focus on MBL.

 

[RegaLady]

Just checking in! I have been bunning like crazyyy! I am now in twists but into a bun. I need to dust. But I think I will wait until May. I am inching in on BSL, last time I checked. I have to be a little past it, come April 30th.

 

[Kerryann]

If i can make BSL at the end of June im sure i can make MBL by the end of the year

 

[jprayze]

I made my flat iron appt for next Thursday...getting excited! Got my water bottle on my desk, just took my viviscal and MSM. Here's to a great length check ladies!

 

[OriginalCrownandGlory]

dropped into say hello and wish you all well! this is my long term goal length maybe I will be in a similar challenge in another 2 years, until then I will drop in and gain some knowledge and inspiration from you ladies!

 

[caliscurls]

Checking in. Was doing a quick check last night and it looks like my hair is growing really fast. I know it's not though, my retention is just on point. Consistent Bunning, French braids, and the loc method is paying off. I also think sticking to the same products I already know work has something to do with it. Every time I get the itch to try a new product I ask myself WHY?! Since I seem to be getting in a good groove.

Just Say No to the PJ!

I think I'm gonna do a hot oil treatment tonight clarify tomorrow then do aphogee 2 step. Let's see if it happens. Haven't done 2step this year. Shame in me!

 

[RegaLady]

Well upon blowdrying my hair because I wanted a different look, I realized bits and pieces of broken hair. SOOO I will be scheduling an appt for a professional blowdry and trim/dust. I haven't trimmed since November of last year, so I am WAYYY overdue. I am okay with this considering after trims my hair takes off and I am only 2 inches until my end of summer goal. I could hold off, but I want to be able to retain ALOT length over the summer.

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

I got another wig, ya'll, for the Spring and Summer. I got it in FS4/27, so that I can change my hair color without the chemicals and extra work. My husband loves it; so, I won't have to hear him going crazy over what my hair will look like when it's hot.

 

[freckledface]

I did the 2step and my hair is thanking me. While I was applying it I had a good bit of breakage but after I was done there wasn't any. Guess it was right in time.

 

[RegaLady]

So I got my hair blowdried and flat ironed and got about an 1" -1.5" taken off. I was bummed about that, but I think I like this length alot. I am right there at BSB. I know I should be PSing, but I want to enjoy my hair for a change. I really do. I sometimes get tired of obsessing over length, sigh.

 

[freckledface]

^^ I like my length too. Not sure if I wanna still hardcore ps so I can for sure keep going or wear it out. Maybe ill just do braid outs for the spring.... Well see

 

[jprayze]

Ready for length check, will probably post this weekend,

Ready for length check, will probably post this weekend,

i can't wait to see!

i am going to try some things this year with my crown (the front of my hair).

i am going to stick to stretching 10-12 weeks
and i am not going to smooth the relaxer when i do my touchups, but i am going to let it process the time it needs to.

i am going to make sure i stick with doing protein treatments to keep my hair strong.

and try to be even more careful with my tangling methods.

i will stay away from the comb attachment on the blow dryer.

I was very tempted to not PS hardcore, but I like I always do, I love the length then think to myself, "I want more!" It is a never ending battle. I will stick to my original goal of mbl then decide what I want to do.

I dusted a little, washed and heavy DC'd and went back to bunning.

 

[RegaLady]

I am going to go ahead and post my pics since I got in done a couple of days ago and not it is back in its natural state in a bun

This was about 2 years ago. I compare most photos to this since to see how far I am coming.



This was a couple of days ago


I am trying to get out of this BSB or SB length. I have been here too long. I think heat may be my culprit I have 4 inches until MBL which I will achieve this Dec











.
