YES!! Please add me. I am aggressively seeking this goal. Particularly by grad school graduation which is May 2009, but that may be more like full BSL. So I am thinking by Sept of next year. My goal might take longer to achieve..imma a tall girl!! Will keep you all updated.
 
Hi LHDC,

I really want to join. My starting point picture is not current or the greatest because I have not relaxed since May 19th and do not plan to relax until May 09 to give my hair a break. At that point I will decide if I am going to texlax or go natural.


Regimen

I am currently wearing box braids and plan to do so until I can't deal with them anymore. I get them redone every 6 to eight weeks because they are growing like crazy from all the DC and co-washing.

I DC 2x a week and co-wash 2x a week.
I clarify with Hydratherma naturals Amino calrifying shampoo 1x amonth.
I moisturize and seal 95% of the time at least twice a day with Aloe vera juice,Glycerin and rosemary oil, I seal with what ever oil I feel like that day (coconut,emu or Hydratherma naturals growth oil. I purchased and am anxiously awaiting to receive my Megatek to add to the regimen.

When I am taking out my braids I DC three days in a row: Moisture, protein then Moisture and they practically fall out with very little shedding or knots.

This picture was taken with a camera phone on September 6th in a sunlight filled bathroom ,approx 14 weeks post. I'm sure you can see how thin one side of my hair appears and undertand how desperate I am to step up my game and take great care of my hair. MBL - Here I come.

Here is my starting pic. I took this Oct 7th or 8th, right b4 I got my sew-in done. I'm doing a personal sew-in challenge until Sept of next yr. My goal is 2 b BSL on or b4 09/24/09 - my 35th b-day. But I'm hoping that the sew-ins + MT will give me more growth than I'm anticipating. & then after my b-day party I will be bunning 4 the rest of the year, perservering 4 MBL.

Be honest ladies, do u think I can go from APL to MBL n 14 mos?

VERY nice progress, Tay!!!

Hey, I'll take touching BSL with thin ends then claiming to touch it with no ends at all - if you get what I'm saying...:drunk: It looks good, girl!
____________________________________________________

I will be updating in December (most likely!) and I am excited about my perceived progress so far...this MT seems to be doing a lil' somthin' somthin' :yep: I am hoping to be scraping BSL again :pray:

Go right ahead and claim it girl.......you see i did with my 5 thin stands :lachen: It has taken me forever as well so I'm totally feeling your pain.
 
I didn't make BSL at my last touch up on Friday. :cry: I still hope I can make it by the end of the year so I can be on track to make MBL by next year. It was BSL when fully stretched and wet, but not once it was dried, trimmed and flat ironed. :cry:
 
I am in... I am in ... Please add Mamato...I am currently BSL and hope to be MBL by july 09... please add me to the challenge.

My plan:

- Low Manipulation
- Protective styles
-Wask once a week
- Comb damp hair before wash with a wide tooth comb and Mntail detangler (not under the shower... NEVER), and after wash, comb with a brush and bun. Dry on medium under hooded dryer.
-or air dry and Flat iron once a month
-vitamins and garlic pills
- Water, water, water, water :)
 
im interested! i think with water, some exercise and MT i can make it in a year and change. Can anyone tell me if I'm BSL yet? i know im like one bad trim away from being APL, but was hoping i could claim BSL with my tipy tipy of my ends when my hair is blowdried straight as heck (see fourth siggy pic).

Yes... Honestly it is more like twice a month for the moment... :grin:
