~Current hair length: Between APL and BSB
~Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd: Texlaxed
~BSL goal month: April 2013
~Current Reggie and styling choices: Prepoo, Shampoo, *Insert Reconstructive Treatment here if needed*, Tea Rinse, DC w/ Steam and Style
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL? Taking vitamins consistently, M&S'ing regularly, and doing tea rinses
~Post a beginning picture:
Backstory: My goal for 2012 was to make BSL and I did. BUT my ends were not in good shape so I did a minor trim ( a inch). However, I wanted blunt ends so bad I couldn't see straight so I took off about another inch maybe inch and a half. So in total I took off about 2 to almost 2 1/2 inches
. The first pic is of my hair at BSL w/ raggedy ends 
. The other is of my freshly trimmed blunt ends!

How did u keep ur ends from puffying up after flat ironing it straight? Whenever I try to flat iron it straight for length checks, my ends start to fluff up. Did u take this pic after a fresh relaxer?

Here is my starting pic. I did a henna and indigo before Christmas - my first time - loved it and plan on doing again! I think I need at least two more inches for BSL - so maybe by May I will be there! I'm a slow grower! Happy Hair Growing Ladies and Happy New Year!

Yes, the pic of my BSL hair was taken after a fresh texlax; the pic of my fresh cut was on week old airdried hair that I lightly pressed on 300 in big sections so that I could trim.
What I do is use the comb chase method when straightening, air dry using the banding method and I blow dry using the tension method. I find that when I apply light tension to my ends during each process my ends get straighter and stays that way until my next wash.
Also, the moisturizer I use acts as a anti-humectant and helps the hair not to revert...Its the Blended Beauty Straight Pearl, I got it from Curlmart and I LOVE IT! I only use it when I've straighten my hair and it never frizzes or reverts. I think its on sale right now, if your interested.

~Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd
Relaxed
~BSL goal month
March (first check in date
~Current Reggie and styling choices
I obsessively PS 100% of the time with wigs, buns, head wraps. I shampoo or cleanse 1 a week. Cowash and dc 3-4 times a week. Ghe/baggy on days i dont cowash. No heat most of the time. (Unless I'm wearing a wig or half wig that requires blending with isn't often)
I take vitamins (chlorella and HSN) whenever.
My hair grew the fastest when I used sulfur, mn and jbco on my scalp daily
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL?
I plan on starting back on the growth aids and I may start daily cowashing.

Gonna re-flat iron a piece of hair in the back and use that as my starting pic. I plan on chopping off another 1.5" since my stylist told me I needed a trim. She didn't want to do it then. She wanted to wait until I came back (maybe Feb) but I wanna start out the new year with fresh ends.

Yayy - I'm in for this challenge! I don't think I've actually done a challenge before but I want to really see improvements in my hair (health/length) in 2013!
Current Hair Length: Grazing APL.
Status: Natural
Goal Month: I'd like to reach the blue line (with healthy ends) by December 2013. But be somewhere in the strap region by July?
Regimen and Styling:
-- Wash weekly with Bentonite Clay
-- DC w/ heat after each wash probably with a Honey/Olive Oil mix or Aubrey Organics HSR... or both
-- Moisturize with Kimmaytube's leave-in recipe. Seal with some type of light oil/butter.
-- Set hair each week with Curlformers
-- Mostly buns buns buns and protective styles.
-- I also henna to cover my grays... so I guess I'll henna now and then after check-ins so I can compare the growth at the root to my length retention.
What I'm changing to reach BSL: I've discovered my hair is low-porosity, so I'm changing to the above regimen to encourage cuticle opening and moisture retention.

Current length: almost APL
Currently Relaxed
Hope to be BSL by Dec 2013
Current Reggie: wash and cond. weekly, dc weekly, protein as needed, m&s every other day
What I plan on changing: I always wanted to try castor oil so will be doing that.
This is my first time posting so forgive if I jack it up.
I am attempting to post a pic of my hair from last night.
Took down only 2 braids. Will post another pic when I decide to take these down.

Hey ladies

Good question. I think for me it will be at the bottom of my bra since I wear my bra high. But I think if you wear your bra in a normal way, I think its at the top and when you start passing the bra is MBL? I think
