BraStrap Challenge for 2006 anyone?

[TJD3]

I've realized I must have a looong torso! I noticed today, by the time I reach brastrap, I wont be too far from waist length !! There is like 3 inches from my bra strap to my waist. So maybe end of 06 early 2007 for me .

[misspriss]

I'm in! It'll be towards the end of 2006 cause on my hair chart I'm giving myself until Feb 2007, but this will be great encouragement for me to take care of my hair! Buns, buns, buns...

 

[creolebeauty]

I want to join this challenge. Hopefully the back of my hair will be brastrtap by summer and the sides by December.

 

[Samaria]

I wanna be on this challenge as well..

I relax this upcoming jan, may, sept, dec(may stretch till jan) so about 3 times a year.


My plans are to

Stretch
Keeps ends moistuized and conditioned
keep ends up
use heat atleast once a week, but during the summer I can count on one hand how many times I use heat.
I havent trimmed yet but I am thinking about trimming
and surging w/ castor oil

I have issues with ends that reach BSL before the rest of my hair, lol. I've cut it constantly, but it keeps reach BSL before the rest of my hair....Help?

 

[Healthb4Length]

I'll join! I hit bra length but had to cut off 2 inches of splits because I didn't trim for a year, so right now I'm 1/2 inches away from bra length.

 

[krissyprissy]

Count me in too. I'm about a inch from armpit so I expect to reach BSL by Fall/06.

 

[caligirl2385]

I THINK I'LL JOIN THIS CHALLENGE TOO. HOPEFULLY, I CAN MAKE IT BY THE END OF 2006.

 

[prettyblac]

Well it's my new years resolution to lose some weight and get my hair past bra strap it's there and not there I had braids that tangled and i had to cut my hair in the back on one side to get the braids out so needless to say some of my hair is to my brastrap but the chunk I cut is not but its catching up quickly so I'm alright. But I will be protective styling and perming my own hair myself unless i get a weave. I'm trying to block whatever I do up in segments of 3 months kind of do it and forget it or whatever but I will post a Jan 1, 2006 photo then every three months until I get to the end of my journey best wishes to all and happy new year.

I'll be at brastrap by Dec 2006. I'm slightly past shoulder length (when stretched as my hair is natural), but on a SERIOUS mission. I'm MTG'ing, Surging, keeping ends protected with almond oil, daily baggying, and co-washing about 3-4 times a week. My hair is being kept in cornrows for now. I'm eating a high protein diet with fresh fruits and veggies and taking MSM, Biotin (10mg), B Complex, multi, flaxseed oil, spirulina, amino fuel, l-cysteine, vitamin c, horsetail, and gnc women's ultra mega. I plan to be at APL by May or June, then BSL, here I come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Candy_C]

I should hopefully be at brastrap by July 2006!

 

[baglady215]

I missed this thread but I'm joining now...

I'm APL, maybe a bit longer. Hopefully by summertime I can reach BSL.

My method: MTG & Surge, 2X weekly deep conditioning, 2X monthly protein treatments, low heat (no more than once per month, but usually less often than that), touch up every 10-12 weeks, vitamins, water, and diet. Hopefully I can get a nice growth spurt this spring and summer. See you ladies at the Bra Strap!

 

[Victory1]

I'll also join; I'm APL and hope to be BS by December!

 

[MizaniMami]

I'm in. My Goal date is December 27, 2006
I take
3000 mcg of Biotin
One Daily Multivitamin
(will start next week) 1500 mcg of MSM (sulfur)

 

[brickhouse]

I am so in. I reached brastrap and had a setback because of health problems and tree braids . I will be washing/cowashing 3-4 times a week. Deep conditioning and steam treatments weekly. I will alternate between protein and moisture conditioners. I plan on eating healthy and eating more vegetables. I will be exercising 5 times a week. I will take my Andrew Lessman multi and hair,skin and nails vitamins. I am already stretching relaxers to 16wks. I will continue wearing wigs for protection and use the baggie method more often.

 

[SerenityBreeze]

I'm in, I'm in!

Right now I am at a very modest armpit. So I hope to grow and retain 4 inches between now and December to reach brastrap.

To get there I will continue do do the following: Moisturize my ends every single day, deep condition at least once a week with heat for a minimum of 30 min, stretch my relaxers every 3 months and do not use heat- I air dry and use caruso rollers.

Get ready to grow, grow grow!

 

[lnana04]

I'm In!!!

I'm hoping to get there by June, I just wish the side of my hair grew as fast as the back.

Same here. My sides are shoulder length.

 

[Healthb4Length]

Okay I'm doing good, I've been bunning it. I actually hit Bra length in December but trimmed 3 inches because they were raggedy. Last night I wash, DC and blowdryed. Although my hair is very thick and I have about 5 inches of NG my hair was looking like APL length, I feel it's shrinkage and I can't wait till I get my hair done to see actual length.

 

[Candy_C]

Hey, looks like alot of us are definately on our way!

My Update: breakage has abated, looks as though my hair had enough protein from the mnt which i was using every 5 days for like 3 months. so i've been on the humecto for a few weeks with amazing results.

My relaxer will be the end of April (14 weeks)

I will trim afterwards too as that would be 12 months since my last trim.

i'm between 2-3 inches away from a full brastrap length.

 

[Kimberly]

I've gained some length since joining the challenge... I may have 3 more inches to go! I know I said by December 31, 2006 but, secretly, I'd really like to get there by the end of summer!

 

[baglady215]

I might not make it by summer because I desperately need and want a trim. Hopefully I'll make it by fall.

 

[cocowhite]

I plan to flatiron my hair at the end of the month to do a length, hopefully I be a little closer to my goal BSL.

 

[brownbarbie]

You can count me in the fold!

 

[prettykinks]

I would like to join this challenge! Hopefully I will be at brastrap by the end of the year. I am currently at armpit length. I will be using the Crown and Glory method and MTG to aid in my growth.

 

[Mitre]

So far so good. I need 3.5-4 more inches to be at my bra stap. 8 more months until the end of the year so I am keeping fingers cross.
