LC time!!

2/14 LC

A 'big chop' set me back 4/26 (results on the right below)

No trims and 5 months later and I'm back to where I was in Feb. Actually a little better because my hemline is fuller and even and most ends are touching 5. Still a bit of curl left in my hair...I pin curl every nite.

6.5 is my BSL number so I have about 1.5 inches left, so I need to retain .5 every month to make end of the year.

8.5 is MBL...so I will see that in 2014!

AWESOME growth!!! Where did you get your LC shirt from? I need to get one I need to be more accurate this judging by the bra thang aint working

Ok so update on my hair I'm really just over my hair I'm not liking how my ends feel even after I've trimmed and I know it's the water but I've been too busy to put my hair first smdh! I knew I would be busy for the next month or so, so I put my hair up in Havana twists well actually more like marley twist bc that's the hair I used. I'm ordering up stuff to get my hair fall cold weather ready and I'm ready to start trying Henna (finally after 2.5 yrs natural lol) I'm introducing garlic back in my regi bc my hair sheds more around this time and I want to try Ayurvedic powders/oils but I'm still researching that Im so close to BSL but I need the top of my hair to grow out its like I have these layers on top that don't want to grow even idk what to do about it :-/

I will be continuing PS bc that's helping me with length retention but y'all I want to wear my hair straight I really want to be able to unwrap my hair in the am and go when I hit my desired length but my issue is if I wait to introduce heat when I hit MBL or WL and mess it up I would be so mad at myself! To be honest I just want to be able to make MBL next summer and wear my hair straight in the cold months and curly in hot months is that too much to ask?

Sorry for the venting I'm just thinking of not being so vested in my hair it's tiresome

NikkiQ you and your sew in look great!

jprayze your growth rate is amazing!!!!

I did a thorough detangling last night. I started with a wide tooth comb and then a medium tooth comb. I didn't lose that much hair. Is it bad that I've stopped checking to see if the hair I lose is shed or broken? I just don't have the energy for that kind of inspection.

Do you ladies still check all your hairs to see if their shed or broken?

Thank you! I have to make sure I continue doing the things that work! I think the best thing I did was stay away from heat for the summer. That heat break was everything!

did your hair get 10 times thicker from the first picture is so what is your seceret! Or was it just the chop you did

I just purchased a conditioner from target. It's called "yes to carrots". I like the way it smells. I can't wait to try it.

Yes, it does look and feel a lot thicker. I think I really needed that cut, although I was bawling! I think regular use of sulfur (liquid gold) has helped a lot with the thickening. I'm still using MN, although I've took some breaks here and there. I used it every other day for the last month and will continue through the end of the year. Also taking a break from heat has helped a lot!

Nikki when are u going to post the new challenge

I want to know that question too...October 31 like normal???

Adorable!!!

Girl please. I never did that. Aintnobodygottime4dat. :nono: If I see too many short pieces while combing or finger detangling I know something is up.

Are we still gonna so the BSL to WL challenge or just MBL and encourage everyone to join?

I'm fine with either. I'll be cutting off my bonelaxed ends all next year so my hair won't get any longer in 2014. Just fuller and healthier. :). But I'm going to hang out with you guys wherever you are.

I think MBL, since there is another challenge already for WL 2015 (I think).

I always say Im not going to join another challenge:lol:

I think this BSL will be the last challenge I have joined since I won't be renewing my subscription next year. But I never say never.

I'm really missing not being able to keep up with what is going on in this challenge, but I work on a ship and the Internet is terrible! You all seem to be doing really well, congrats ladies! I had my one year anniversary a couple of weeks ago so I straightened my hair for the first time in a year. Complete fail in the photo of the back cos my head isn't straight! It's getting there but I have so many layers and I definitely need a trim.

Okay here go my pics. BSL is really MBL for me. From my pics I think I'm BSB or nearly close to it so I'm happy with that. Maybe, I hope, I'm closer to my bra by the end of the year.

I think I've received all the info that I need to grow my hair and I'm getting tired of the whole relaxed vs natural thing and dark skin vs light skin thing. But I never say never.

All of this right here....I feel the same way but I'm staying until I conquered being WL then I'm out... I have a good 6 inches to go
