@Ebonyprincess ~ Your install looks amazing.

Cream Tee ~ You made my day with that compliment. Thank you.

cocoma ~ If you look at the picture frame icon next to the weblink in your posting box, it's the 7th icon from the left, that is the one you select. You then copy and paste the location of the picture that you want to post. Many ladies use Fotki. I myself use Photobucket.

I hope that helps.

I hope this works. This is my starting pic not quite sure of my length. I have not straightened it all summer.
 
I'm in. I think I can get there. However, I am going to get a trim in December and maybe a texlax (going to see Dontspeakdefeat in Atlanta) so IDK. I am currently an inch beyond APL so I should be able to get there by the end of December but maybe not after the trim.
 
Hi Ladies,

Just checking in. It been a while since I stopped in. Great to see all the new members and everyones progress. Welcome ladies.
 
@ Cocoma ~ You're welcome and your back looks fine.

@ CMW45 ~ Welcome to the fun!

@ MsWoWFactor ~ Good to see you! Glad you decided to stop in to check on us.

Have a groovy day ladies!
 
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say I'll be within 2" of APL by the end of the year. There! I said it!!!
 
This weekend, I'll be doing a wash, protein treatment, DC and a rollerset (and if necessary, flat iron the roots). Looking forward to it, since I've been on an airdried bun kick lately.

:welcome: cmw45!
 
Thanks you guys for the welcome! Now let's get this party started!

My Reggie: Co-wash, moisturizing and sealing, wash/DC once a week, taking vits, rollersetting, TRYING to bun!

Products:
HE HH
NTM Silk Touch Leave-In
JBCO
Ayruvedic powders (Hesh Amla, shikakai, and brahmi)
Megatek for conditioning (not as a scalp application. Tried the scalp thing, couldn't keep up and frustrated at the shedding. Gonna try just conditioning with it)
Bio Infusion Conditioning Balm
It's a 10! Shine Spray
Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum
Mizani Thermasmooth Heat Protection Serum

What am I doing specifically? Moisturizing and protecting

What Month do I expect to reach BSL: Let's here it for December 2011!

I think that's it...
 
:sekret: Please add me to this challenge. I am in the BSL 2010 challenge, but I only expect to be grazing BSL by the end of the year. So hopefully I will be full BSL by March 2011.

My Regi

SCurl, Castor Oil, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter,

Co-washing, Wet bunning, Half Wigging it

Relaxer Stretching & Protective Styling

* My starting picture is of my air dried hair. I think my longest layers are at BSB when flat ironed, so I still have a ways to go.

I'm slowly becoming a wigaholic. I can't stop looking at hairsisters and plotting on new LFs and half wigs I want to buy :sekret:
 
@ Nikki ~ Go ahead and claim your short term goal. I am believing with you for it!

@ LuvliLocks ~ Welcome to the fun.

I'm bunning this week and unpacking from the move.
 
I've been constantly checking my length in the mirror. So, I know all too well about being fixated on something NikkiQ, :lol:


How's everyone? It's a new week (and month)!

Hey ladies

Just lettin everyone know that I've been lurking everyday and loving the positive vibes in here! Still don't feel quite worthy of posting in here but I'll give an update: I'm just bunning lol been bunning everyday and will bun everyday until Christmas time...probably wear a braidout this Saturday for a football and then a flat ironed for thanksgiving.

HHG everyone!
 
Checkin' in. I haven't been doing too much lately with my hair. I have been swapping more with flat two strand twists and wet bunning. I plan on washing my hair tonight and putting in some flat two strand twists to wear for the next 3 days. As the colder weather starts to approach, I will be going back to swapping in the strawler sets. I am struggling with testing out new products to see what works. I want (and WILL BE) going back to my love, Jane Carter, this week.
 
@LaFemmeNaturelle

:spank:You stop that!:spank:

You are worthy and always welcome here. Now get that into your spirit (sorry I was brought up in da church) before I start posting LaFemme is welcome in this thread every day thereby making the others upset and getting myself removed.

Thanks for the update on what you're up to.

@TruMe ~ What products are you testing? Are you trying different leave-in's or conditioner's or all aspects at once?

@NikkiQ ~ You are tempting me with these wigs. Stop. :grin:

To our newest members :hiya:

Bigmommah they are very addictive I'm tellin ya :lol:

I only have about 4 LFs right now but I plan on adding a few more LFs,half wigs aka halfies as I like to call them, full caps and phony ponys. Can't wait until my little play money comes in b/c I have them all picked out already.

I think I'm gonna go ahead and claim SL now. after looking at the pics I took the last time I took my braids out, I think it's safe to say that once I flat iron my hair it'll be past my shoulders. :woot:
 
Bigmommah - I am testing all different aspects but was migrating them a little at a time. I have been trying the DE Leave-in (hating it) then after a month or so, I tried to add the DE conditioner thinking that I wasn't getting the full effect of the leave-in because maybe they need to work together(again, wrong). I feel that my hair gets dryer faster with the DE line versus the Jane Carter line. I did also try their new natural line, but only once, and it seemed to do much better than the regular line products. The plan was to move onto Mixed Chicks but I'm scared and want to go back to what I know. Idk, this search is difficult.
 
Just checking in lol. Washed my hair over the weekend and I'm still loving my new growth!! I'm hoping I can take some time to post update pics but life has me super-busy and tired right now. If my hair keeps going at this rate I'll definitely be able to reach my goal.

My mom's been asking what products and methods I'm using so I've passed my regimen to her and she loves it!:grin:
 
Hey ladies, just checking in. I washed and DC'd today. Still waiting on my package from Qhemet's sale. But I think I'm finally closing in on a solid arsenal of products. Only thing left to do is be patient. Blah, that's the worst part.
 
checking in! loving my weave for the moment, happy to be getting some use out of my hot tools since I virtually never use direct heat on my real hair. Going to be adding a few more tracks for fullness as I have an event coming up. I will be seeing friends that haven't seen my progress in person so I am VERY happy to be weaved up at the moment! I want my BIG REVEAL to them to be JAW DROPPING at a full, blunt, healthy BSL! :yep: This gives me the versatility to wear my hair down in beautiful curls/waves while keeping my true hair hidden! Come next year this time, they will be STUNNED at my real hair being longer than my current install! :grin:
 
Hi Ladies! I'm joining. I was in BSL by 2010 challenge, but due to a weave mishap I'm back to square one again. I'm hoping to make BSL by the end of summer. I'll continue to use jbco, bun, deep condition, and co-wash every few days. I'm staying far away from weaves.

My starting pic is in the siggy. I cut 3-4 inches off. It could be more, but I don't want to think about it!

HHG!
 
Hello Ladies! I'm a newbie and i've started my HJ in July. Thanks to all of you for your tips and informative posts : in the 2 past months i've learned so much about how to take care of my hair, much much more than in 20 years with "coiffeur et salon de beauté" here in Paris. For the winter time i've decided to wear a protective style : a light yaki hair net wig that allows me to treat my braided hair underneath.
I use my special mix every day and will do the first length check this saturday. I don't know if i'll be able to make BSL in december, but taking care of my hair and aiming for this length is already a big big progress for me. I thought before LHCF that unless she is mixed, a black women can't grow long hair! Stupid me !
I'll keep you all posted !
 
hairysituation Whoops my bad, I got hairveda and Qhemet mixed up in my head. I ordered samples from Qhemet and found out about the Hairveda sale and ordered from them within a day or so of each other. Lawd all this online ordering is getting out of hand, I can't even keep track!

:woot: :woot: Looking forward to the pictures!



:welcome4: to the challenge, TdotGirl!



My Update: With my hair being straight my ends were driving me crazy so I gave myself a semi trim. Just enough to calm my nerves but not enough to notice a change in length. I'm now content.
 
I think I may be able to achieve BSL by my birthday next year(Sept 24th,2011). I'll be about 17 months post relaxer so hopefully I have some decent NG to show for it :D
 
I am barely hitting APL in the back nape area but just hitting CL up top around my face. I'm desperately looking for more NG. I want to chop these relaxed ends off so bad!!!
 
Well at least you're getting close to achieving full APL. Next stop...BSL!!! I'm still a few inches from APL myself so I have a way to go,but I'm trying to be patient. Key word there being "trying" b/c Lord knows it's hard :lol:
