Hmm, well since folks are getting all specific and what not (*smile*) Im gonna change mine from Apr 2007 to April 4, 2007! That is my 28th birthday, and that would be the BEST gift i could give to myself!!!

There it is!

My birthday will be May 25, 2007 the same day Pirates of the Caribbean 3 is supposed to open. I was thinking that I might flat iron it to attend the premiere (gotta look good for Johnny Depp!) but I don't know if I want to straighten it then or wait until mid-June like I orginally planned. I guess it will all depend on whether or not I get to BSL by December (I'll be flat ironing for the first time since June of this year) but heat tends to set my hair back and I don't want to have to do a deep trim to make up for what I will lose with too much heat. :look:

Well, alright now! And we both are trying to get to brastrap by the end of this year!

Qetesh · Sep 27, 2006

i am down to be anywhere near midback length unstreatched :lachen:

it seams impossible, but i am gonna throw it out there, currently i am about 1 inch from armpit length unstreatched and midback straight.

so count me in,.. i got more than a year to complete

onecharminglady · Sep 27, 2006

count me in, i cant wait until dec 07, just the kinda challenge i need

melodee · Sep 27, 2006

I don't think I was ever officially in this challenge, but I was doing it on my own. And I did make it!!!!

26"and some change for me is mid back.

Unfortunately my relaxed hair has become too thin for my tastes, and since I'm transitioning, I'm cutting mine.

BUT it feels good to achieve the goal and I wanted to share.

GOOD luck sisters, you'll get there.

creolebeauty · Sep 27, 2006

I'm in. My goal is September 2007.

Tee · Oct 6, 2006

I thought I wouldnt be able to make this one since I am not BSL yet. Since you let us set our own month, I am in. I think by Dec. 2007 I can make mid back.

So I am and ready to grow.

Girl, judging by your hair you'll so there be there by or BEFORE Dec 2007!!!!

Yep, im all over this challenge as well..... esp. since i can officially "claim" BSL now!!!! :lachen:

zzirvingj · Oct 22, 2006

THIS IS MY FIRST CHALLENGE!!!!!!!

As you can see, I am hype about this! I was APL when I last checked in Jan of this year. If all goes well I will be BSL by end of this year in a couple of months. So I think it's safe for me to join.

Midback length by the last day of 07....I think I can do it!!!

Tayw29 · Oct 22, 2006

Im in ladies!!!! Im hoping to be at brastrap next month when I relax and then its on to midback. I will set my goal for June 2007 my one year LHCF anniversary

curlyj · Oct 22, 2006

I'm currently in the APL challenge(achieved in back, actually 1.5" past)...I hope to be full APL stretched 12/06. MBL is my ulyimate goal, which in my mind 08' seemed doable. So BSL by 7/07 and a close MBL by 12/07 :look:

My plan:
Protective styling from now until then :ohwell:

Mild protein, Deep Con.(moisture) w/ weekly wash 1x week
Seal Ends 1x month
WGO w/added sulfur mix 4x week(at night)
MTG 3x week(at night)
Hair Strengthener(IC) or Surge (mornings)
Mango Butter(edges and ends) 1x week

apl to bsl=5"
bsl to mbl=3" for me, of course!

WaterMoccasin · Oct 22, 2006

I didn't join this initially because I'm in the Waist-length by 2007 challenge and I had planned to reach waist-length by February '07. But since that's probably not going to happen, I'll join this.

Mid-back by February 2007!

I have a few strands there already but the majority of my hair is just above bra-strap and I would like to get most of it to BSL/MBL if I can.

Mahalialee4 · Oct 23, 2006

Why not, I have been working on that goal forever. May as well join a support group, lololol . I sure need one!!!bonjour

sxyhairfetish · Oct 23, 2006

I am in... I wasnt planning on growing my hair THAT long, but i'll give it a try. Just for curiosity purposes

I will continuue with my regimen of weekly washings and deep conditioning and moisturizing and sealing those ends seriously! Recently started the baggie method and luvin it.

ladytq · Dec 7, 2006

I want to join!!! This is my first challenge! I want to achieve full, thick, and shiny black mbl by 9/26 (my birthday).

My regiment: cowash 1 to 2 times a wk and dc after every cowash. poo, trim, flatiron (for progress pics only) 1x every 4 months.

All I need to do is learn how to compress my pics so I can upload them here. :ohwell:

XXXtacy · Dec 7, 2006

I am in with this.

Dlene · Dec 8, 2006

I AM SO IN! SO EXCITED TOO. 2006 was BSL and I will get to find out how well transitioning and my sew-in weaves benefited me. Last time I pressed my hair was February 2006 and it was barely touching APL, my natural, unrelaxed texture now (I have been a year and one month, approx. without a relaxer) is past shoulder length unstretched, so I am excited to see my progress and where I stand now, but definitely count me in!

LovelyZ · Jan 4, 2007

Is anyone still on this challenge? I would like to join. I am going to shoot for September, and hoping to be evened out by December.

zzirvingj · Jan 4, 2007

I'm definitely still in on this challenge! I hope to achieve MBL by the last day of this year. What is everyone doing to reach MBL goal?

I wanna join this one. I've been very lazy lately, but I need to get motivated about growing my hair again.

Here are my June 2006 starting pictures:

My avatar shows my current length, so now I'm headed for hip-length!! :grin:

prettypuff1 · Jan 5, 2007

I am in but i don't know if i will make it :ohwell:

msjackson8 · Jan 5, 2007

Count me in as well. I should be BSL by april and then hopefully midback by dec. 07. Does anybody know how many inches there are between midback and waistlength?

CarLiTa · Jan 5, 2007

Midback by June 2007. Sure that I will be there by then, but you know, just to remove the pressure.

my regimen will be pretty simple:
WEEKLY:
-pre-poo with coconut & rosemary oil on scalp (hot) and AO GPB conditioner
-wash with sunsilk hydra tlc shampoo. clarify with suave clarifying every 2 weeks
-deep condition with sunsilk hydra tlc hair masque or the protein one I just found out about.
-towel dry and apply Garnier Fructis leave in + SMALL amount of Giovanni and silk therapy
-Airdry in a loose braid or rollerset

Daily:
-moisturize with Motions Oil moisturizer or sunsilk hydra tlc moisturizing creme
-tie with satin scarf.

relax every 10-12 weeks. protective styles most of the time. Dust every 6 weeks. do not leave hair wet b/c of the winter cold.

SweetCaramel1 · Jan 5, 2007

i'm joining in ladies. hopefully i'll make it to brastrap sometime in may. i was really close then i got fustrated with my raggedy ends and trimmed as even as i could. my hair grows soooooooooooo slow. hopefully this pregnancy will give me a boost to make it to mid back by december

I had originally stated mid-back length by December 2007..... but I wanna change it to November 2007. I have my ten year high school reunion then, and I so wanna be swinging my mid-back length tresses around then.

I will continue to: wash/deep condition once a week, take my vitamin supplements, moisturize daily, use a protein treatment every 8 weeks, mtg 4x per week, wear protective styles 6x per week, and minimize combing.

This is exciting.... I really think I can do it. I can't wait to make Bra Strap by Dec (*prayerfully*) so that I can officially be on my way to mid-back length.

You go girl! I love that New Years Picture.

I want to join this. I should be brastrap about Feb/March. I'm aiming for December 2007 for my mid-back goal.

LovelyZ · Jan 5, 2007

I am wearing protective styles nearly everyday, moisturizing my ends daily, and stretching relaxers.

Your hair is very pretty. I have seen threads about mid-back length and the general consensus seems to be that there is no exact measurement for BSL sense everyone's torso and neck are different lengths. I measured the point in between bra strap and waist length and for me, it is 3-4 inches below bra strap.
