Well I got my straggly ends cut/trimmed this weekend so I lost about an inch or so. Surprisingly I'm not upset about it because my hair does look much healthier & even looks to have a little more volume. So I'm sitting strongly @ APL again. LOL. Maybe I can up my hair game again and aim for BSB by December 31st!

Warm rinse
Scalp massage with MN mix
Pm leave in to length
And almond oil to ends
Flat twisted

I'm thinking about 3 inches to BSL, but I really need to measure it to be sure. I'm thinking I'm going to say June 2013 as my goal month. MBL December 2013 with no setbacks!

I did differently than what I planned this past weekend. I bought my first wig this weekend!! I prepooed with Silk Elements Olive Oil Treatment mixed with honey and EVOO. I let that sit for 2 hours then got under the dryer for 10mins before rinsing it out. Then I cowashed with WEN Tea Tree 2x. Then I blow dried my hair w/ Organix Coconut Anti Breakage Serum (love this stuff) and Aveda USC. Then cornrowed my hair (not the best but it will do) and I rocked my wig yesterday and today. I plan to wear it for the next two weeks and just moisturized my hair with Braid spray or Stay So Soft spray and seal with coconut oil. I plan to use my oil mix on my scalp 2 or 3 times a week.

RegaLady I have no idea just yet! I think I need to buy the long tape I see in many of the YouTube hair videos to measure my hair

So I took in the mirror and realized I wear my bra now and like others, my bra is really MBL. So...by December 2013, I should knock out both milestones at once.
I may be 2 to 3 inches to BSB. I'm going to try BSB by Valentine's Day.
SN: I'm going to start taking pics with my hair shirt! The only thing is I bought a pink one and didn't realize it was going to have pink writing on it too...not the easiiest to see but it will give me some number guides...STAY tuned

Ok so still have a little bit of hope to make it to BSB by the end of the year. My bra is MBL.
and it is an extremely big gap between APL
So BSB is my immediate goal and I'm going to do the following 5 things to see how close I can get my the end of the year!
1. One more time to heat style/trim until the end of the year (except if I have to blow dry my hair before braids). Want to get a light trim so I don't have raggedy ends at BSB.
2. Continued Daily Use of MN either straight or mixed
3. Vitamins - 2x/daily Viviscal (just started 2 days ago), 1000 mcg biotin 1x/daily, Calcium Vit/D 2x/daily, and a multi vitamin (I split them up between breakfast, lunch, and dinner.)
4. Increased water intake. Drink 24oz of water first thing in the am and then continue from there.
5. Scalp massages with the EO blend for hair growth on my 'problem areas'
OOPS...make that 9!
6. Continued tea rinses to combat shedding and strengthen strands...alternating between chamomile and black
7. Lots of protective styling...BUNS, BUNS and more buns
8. Aiming to deep condition at least one a week! Alter Ego Garlic is one of my staples.
9. This is a hard one...no more length checks until I straighten in December for end of the year check ins!
livinthevida I did pick up some OCO, so I will be adding it to my regi as well.

**Update from MN 2012 Challenge***
If im thinking correctly BSB is a little shorter than BSL for me... and im thinking BSB is where your hair meets the curvature of your shoulder bone.. which i think i have reached or a little ways away... ANYWAYS Heres my progress pics since May .. Im not exactly sure why the pictures are out of order though
Im claiming BSB ladies and going to keep my hair in buns until my birthday (37 days) Hoping for super growth to BSL with the help of MN
