BSL/MBL 2015 Challenge

[FollicleFanatic]

Still here! Oiling/massaging scalp, back to spoiling my ends. I've been grazing BSL for the longest esp since my trims.
My product and tool game are strong now so I'm really hoping to retain all of my growth before the year end. I might straighten for Christmas or be lazy and do a pull LC..

 

[ClassyJSP]

Washed and conditioned my hair last night. Used aussie moist 3 min I forgot how much I use to love that conditioner. blow dried half way and then let my hair air dry in two bantu knots. I haven't flat ironed my hair in a while i'll save that for either thanksgiving or Christmas.

 

[Prettymetty]

My next hair appt is in 2 weeks. I'm going to the Kerastase place to get a moisturizing treatment and blowdry. I'm undecided about whether I should let her flatiron it afterwards. I really just want my roots stretched

 

[morgandenae]

Decided to give myself more time to reach MBL. I do NOT want to be that girl claiming WL with two strings and my head tilted back slightly. Not. That. Girl.

Will give myself more time to focus on reaching my hair goals FULLY and with as little effort as possible because I have fallen off yall ! At this point I'm bare minium.

 

[Froreal3]

I am pretty sure I joined this challenge to make MBL by December. I'm pretty sure I didn't make it. That's ok. I'm upping my protein intake to at least 100grams per day to see if that will assist in any progress. I trimmed off about two inches in the Spring and I already see a little progress. I think my hair has grown/retained that two inches back. I'll be starting a WL challenge again (maybe 2017) soon, so I hope to see a lot of you ladies there.

This is so me! I probably won't even reach Bsl this year. If it's only 2 strands it doesn't count lmao. I'm giving myself another year to reach full Mbl.

 

[Prettymetty]

@Froreal3 I will join that challenge with you. Slow and steady is the way to go. I have to maintain my thickness as I reach each milestone.

Hey lady @Froreal3 - here is a protein calculator to help you determine protein intake. I purchased this protein supplement last month. HTH

@ilong I don't see the link ^^^

I've been seeing broken strands of hair on the floor (various lengths) for about a week. My blowout is 2 and a half weeks old. I think it could be dryness from sulfur oil or maybe it's just time to wash and dc my hair. I just moisturized the length of my hair with aloe juice and I'm wearing a full head baggy for an hour. I'm not worried about reversion. I just want the breakage to stop.

My nape is shorter than the rest of my hair. I'm trying to figure out how to proceed. Braid it and incorporate it into my buns? Rollersets? Wig it over the winter? I'm APL, but my nape is SL. What do you think?

Rollersets might be too much manipulation. You can bun it up or wig it until your nape catches up. My nape was a lot shorter than the rest of my hair last year, but wigging it and trims every 3 months has helped it (almost) catch up.

 

[quirkydimples]

I've been eyeballing a few wigs that look close to my hair, so I think that's probably what I'll do. Originally, I was just going to cut it to shoulder length, but I actually noticed this problem a few months ago and it's gotten better with TLC.

 

[snoop]

I water rinsed to hello detangle then installed medium twists last night. I feel like my shedding has increased. Maybe it's seasonal?

 

[Prettymetty]

I went wig shopping earlier, but the babies were on their worst behavior. I will have to go again without them. I saw a few nice lace wigs and one really cute full wig with Remy hair.

Once I start wigging it again I can get back in the gym. I have gained like 7lbs

 

[quirkydimples]

All of the cute wigs I'm seeing online are sold out in the color (2) I want! I'll have to be on the lookout for when they restock.

 

[Prettymetty]

I went to a different bss and I got a cute ombre bob wig with side bangs. It's a human hair blend (whatever that means) so I hope it lasts at least a month.

 

[Prettymetty]

I used liquid gold oil on my scalp yesterday and today. I think it's time to shampoo my hair. My blowout is almost 3 weeks old and my roots are pretty thick with growth and or reversion.

My sis wants me to visit her this evening and she lives across town. I might not feel up to it after that drive. Sigh

I definitely respect that. Cheering you on!

In other random thinking out loud...I got a few layers put in. My hair looks so much fuller and has a lot of great movement. The no layer thing doesn't work for my hair. Makes it look thin.

I also recently decided BSL and MBL are 1-2 inches apart on me (top of bra strap vs below bra strap), not the exact same. I really want a juicy hemline that clearly falls below my brastap (like this), so I have a little ways to go. Thinking about two 8 week no-heat stretches (natural buns 100%, washing Sunday and cowashing on Wednesday) at the end of this year, and the very start of 2016 to get me there.

 

[Leo24Rule]

Yesterday, I wore my own hair out in its curly state without added hair of any kind

 

[snoop]

I did another protein treatment yesterday and my shedding is still beastly. I'm going to try to install mini twists again then forget about my hair for another month. Hopefully by December it will have stopped.

 

[Prettymetty]

I've been faithfully using Liquid Gold 3 times a week for almost a month. I have some new growth, but I'm not sure how much. Once I wash my hair I can do a damp pull test

 

[morgandenae]

Getting back in the game since work should be a little less hectic now

I was talking with my mom and noticed my nails were a whole lot shorter than usual ... meaning they're not growing as fast ... meaning my hair probably not either (nutrition deficiency) ...

Getting my hair life back together starting......NOW

 

[ClassyJSP]

Still PSin with my wigs and pretty much leaving my hair alone. Sticking with the plan to get my hair blown out and flat ironed for Thanksgiving.

Please tag me if you start another challenge. Im always late

 

[bluenvy]

Did my usual wash and dc today, also flat iron to see where I'm at since trim on Fall Equinox last month.
It doesn't look like it grew but my outer edges look fuller. I trimmed on a strengthening day so next time I'll try trimming on the lengthen day.
Pic on left from last month, other is today

 

[snoop]

So this month marked my 4 year HHJ anniversary! I think I can claim BSL. This is my length after dusting about 1 inch last month. I'm a slow grower so I probably won't hit waist length until this time next year, if all goes well.

 

[bluenvy]

Woohoo you go @snoop Congrats!
You look more Mbl to me, even more to celebrate
