Thanks for reminding me. I still have 2/3 of a bottle left. Time to dig it out. I cut my limpy bsl strands and I want them back (better) by summer.

(or weekend.whichever lol)
Since length check time is just 9 days away (if you can't check in then, it's absolutely fine. post whenever you're ready) how are you ladies planning on measuring? Pull test? Flat iron? Blow out? Comparing hairstyles? Length check shirt? There are so many options!!
I'm doing my LC in mid-April after my salon relaxer. I always have my stylist flat iron my hair then i'll either use my bra or LC t-shirt OR both.

I might have to do my length check this weekend; it's time to wash and love on my hair. Plan on flat-ironing tomorrow so will do mine with bra (and some pull testing too!
)

I will probably flat iron and do the bra.
I will just do a stretched. I am probably right where I started, considering the cut and shed hair. We are finally getting a breather at work, so I don't have to work so many hours, this means I can go back to obsessing about my hair. Lol. I will be more diligent in my hair growth regiment.

Don't know if I will be able to a length check this go around. I prefer just pulling on a section in the back, sides, and front on scretched hair.*Question of the Day*

Won't be able to do my length check until May when I take this sew in out. It'll probably be a blow out because I don't plan on getting a relaxer for awhile longer. It's crazy that I already miss my hair. LOL. Anyway, if all goes well...right after I take out my sew in I'm getting some twists in for my girls' trip- right now the plan is a week in Puerto Rico---NikkiQ that means I'm probably coming your way honey!!

I'm actually excited for length check, I haven't flat ironed my hair since December, but I will flat iron it for the length check.

I am sticking with just pulling a few hairs down and trying to figure out how long my hair is?

Chronically at BSL -_-
So....I didn't fully drop out (because drama queens/big babies don't just quit, we just cry/drama it out for a little while and then keep it pushing )
So while my hair is A LOT shorter, like barely APL
, I'm still going to try and thug it out (and by "thug it out" I mean protective styling 24/7 and start using a daily sulphur mix). I want to do a set of mini twists and I needed to stretch my hair, so I finally took the leap and did African Threading and I LOVED IT!!! I will keep this in for a week and then do my mini twists next weekend 
Here are some pics and what not...
On a side note NikkiQ I wanted to hug you, I loved 17 years of my LIFE at the whims of the armed forces and me (and my family) we understand the feelings of alienation and loneliness you get when you move to a foreign place. I know it will get better, trust me, I've been there. I would suggest taking up a Spanish class to not only learn, but meet people and have something to focus on. My mom was adamant about us learning, so I speak Spanish and French and a bit of German now and I thank her everyday!!! Chin up

I usually flat iron my hair and compare it to past pics using a strip shirt. I'm hoping I made sum progress. I think I am going to straighten my hair this weekend. I signed up with Herbalife to lose sum lbs so I wanna "doll" myself up abit.

My last salon appointment was Feb 28 and my next isn't until April 25th so I guess I'll do a pull test for the official check in or maybe just wait until the 25th.

@itsjusthair I'm so glad you didn't leave us!! If you are near APL you can make it.

Thanks
I cut my hair on 13th/Jan so I'll wait until 13th/April to check in officially. Until then, I'm going to step my game up.

Other people are the reason I noticed. DH & my MIL have both commented on how much it has grown. My son loves to pull it whenever it's in an out style, so I guess I have his attention too.
It does make me happy though. This is the longest my hair has ever been since I was a child. My hair was about midback length and relaxed and I signed up for swimming lessons. That chlorine chewed my hair up! I was clueless about hair care too (like a lot of us were), and sadly nobody really knew how to deal with my hair while I was swimming. I never bounced back from that. CBL was "long" for me. I'm finally in a good place.

First NikkiQ big hug to you for doing the wifey thing and having a hard time adjusting. It will get better! And then by that time you won't want to leave. Hang in there and if you ever wanna meet in NOLA I am an hour away, just holla!
Ok so I'll be doing my LC next Thursday after my relaxer and roller wrap. I could probably go another 4 weeks but my stylist was concerned about how much hair I shed during the deep conditioning. But I'm glad the stretches are easier. I will use my trusty LC shirt and maybe pull a little because my ends will be curled. Seeing the BF next weekend so hair must be flawless!!
