WL 2011

exubah · Jul 4, 2010

Okay, here goes......

After some encouragement in the MBL 2010 thread I have decided to get an early jump on starting a WL 2011 thread. I am suffering some setbacks right now but I believe I can still make WL before December 31st, 2011...God willing and barring no more setbacks!!

My goal is to have a blunt, healthy relaxed waist length head of hair before 11:59:59pm December 31st, 2011.

Here is what I am going to do to get there...

1. Protective styling (mainly buns, alternating positions)
2. DC at least once a week
3. Rollerset at least twice a month (I have learned the hard way that this helps me to properly detangle my hair!!)
4. JBCO on my roots 2-3 times a week minimum
5. Relax every 10-12 weeks (No-lye)
6. Moisturize and seal religiously

Anyone can join at anytime, however names will not be added to the official challenger's list after 1/1/2011. I would like participants to offer words of encouragement, updates and photos if you so desire.

4. Protective style 6 of 7 days per week
5. Moisturize and seal when needed

UrbainChic · Jul 4, 2010

I think I'd like to join! I have been falling off the hair bandwagon lately, and even though this is long term i think this will help me out.

Dec 2011 is about 18 months from now so at half an inch per month thats 9 potential inches to retain. :lick:

That leaves room for trims or even a full on hair cut. I am feeling optimistic about this!

HERMOM · Jul 4, 2010

Add me too please !!

czyfaith77 · Jul 4, 2010

I will go for this. Count me in. I don't care if it is Dec. 31 2011, which is my wedding anniversary.

Reecie · Jul 4, 2010

Ouuuuoooooohhh girl, I am sooooo down. Now you got me excited. I'm going to get my tape measure and I'll be right back!! Waistlength 2011 here I come!!!

So I just measured... I have 8 inches to WL.

I am hoping to get 3 inches by the end of this year, which leaves me with 5 inches next year until I reach waistlength! YAY!!!

That is a good way to look at it. You gave me a mental picture to aim at. Thanks!

soon2bsl · Jul 4, 2010

Yay, so glad this thread was created! Definitely count me in! I'm BSL right now, and should make MBL by the end of the year. I'm about 2 inches from MBL and about 5 inches from WL. My goal is to make WL by next summer so I would love to join this challenge! Once I get to WL I'll maintain at waist and start trimming as I grow, until all my relaxed ends are gone (I'm 1 year post, doing a long term transition to natural). Can wait to see everyone's progress...we can do this ladies!!

anon123 · Jul 4, 2010

Man, y'all start early. Y'all come out with the cars for the next year. :lol:

We still got 6 months until the start of 2011!

lane · Jul 5, 2010

I'm game. Please count me in.

CurlyMoo · Jul 5, 2010

Count me in please. I'm already in the WL 2010 but if I don't make it and forget to add my name I would like to pre-register now. I'm currently MBL and not sure how far from WL. I think at least 2 inches. At the beginning of the year I was 3 inches from WL.

Bluetopia · Jul 5, 2010

Yaaaaaaaassss!!! :superbanana: :clap:

I didnt even finish reading this thread and I'm IN!

You had me at hello! This has been my goal since day one!! :gorgeous:

ok - lemme calm down and actually read what you wrote :giggle:

bryantgurls · Jul 5, 2010

I am so in :yep:

I haven't even made BSL yet, but I do believe that I can make WL by the end of 2011. I have about 8 inches to go I think. I am excited!!! :grin:

soonergirl · Jul 5, 2010

count me in, thx

Black Hoya Chick · Jul 5, 2010

in! I want full U-Shaped waist length sometime next year.

nakialovesshoes · Jul 5, 2010

to you Exubah. Thanks so much for starting this thread. My hair is just a little past my bra strap. I haven't trimmed since August 2009 so I will not be claiming MBL until September/October after my trim.

Right now I'm bunning & some times I wear wigs. Unless I get some serious extra cash, I will continue to PS my way to MBL. After MBL, it will be the same thing: hiding my hair & BT on the scalp.

I will post my starting pic in here when I officially claim MBL.

I'm excited to see the regulars from the MBL thread as well as the new ladies. We're virtually holding hands & walking into the "Big Girls" Club. I'm sooo excited. My hair has never been much longer than it is now & I never even entertained having WL hair until this forum.

Let's get it popping ladies!

Bun Mistress · Jul 5, 2010

I'm in. I think MBL was my goal but man was I wrong!

I plan to continue to PS (buns and braids),
wash once a week and DC (I have not been DC'ing in braids but I will start
trim twice a year (went a whole this year time, naugthy me)
Continue to transition, I will be close to three year post relaxer at the end of this challenge.
Also ***I promise not to BC before I reach WL***
