BSL 2010 Challenge

soooooo i'm failing at my PERSONAL hyh challenge...how pathetic is that? i told myself i'd take a two-week break for a blowout, and that turned into 4 weeks so fast. i've been cowashing, and feeling the water on my scalp took me back to the past two summers, where that is all i did -- cowash and WNG.

but no more -- i bought some deep wave hair from the BSS this past weekend (shame, i was supposed to JUST be getting a pack of hair for senegalese twists) and i will attempt to install it myself this tuesday, which will be exactly 2 months till the end of my challenge. my cousin will braid my hair using a pattern i found on BHM and i will sew it on with the help of some youtube videos. i will leave out a horseshoe and my perimeter, since i am NOT willing to attempt a closure...hopefully this will last me a month (more, if i am lucky) and in that time i can get my $$ for my bobraz, which will be my summer install, together. since i'll have to straighten my leave-out, i'll just rollerset it and flat iron the roots and wash it every 2 weeks....hopefully that means i will only be putting heat on it twice. after this deep wave comes out, i'll slap in some senegalese twists till my 2-year in june....then i will install the bobraz once i do my length checks and swang my hair and such. i'll be crossing my fingers for BSL!

I am bunning today, I am using a clip in bun, putting my hair underneath and protecting my ends, :D I am wearing a headband and it is cute.

I got my 4 hairpieces yesterday Hairsisters cancelled one of them so it is no longer 5.


I am claiming BSL/BSB when my full back reaches it.

AND I AM SO CLAIMING IT TODAY! :D (PICS won't be until June, unless I can get to a camera sooner)
I had the hubby last night do the check for me :) his job in all this and I have reached BSB/BSL I am so Excited, but honestly can I be honest, It still looks short! :look:
 
wahoo congrats to bronzebombshell and jjamiah!! you give me major hope :grin: how do you feel? my tummy would be having butterflies non stop lol

I am in 2 french braids at the moment, i'll redo them with every co-wash/wash until i get bored.
 
Congrats to those who have made it since my last check in!

The great shed of 2010 is slowly waning with each wash. My hair line has suffred greatly imho...but it's already back on the grow so it's all good. Right now i'm twisted & would like to keep it so till the 23rd of this month when i'll roller set & saran wrap for my b'day celebration.

My hair is growing longer but i've lost some much needed thickness ( like I could afford to lose any!) I've been using high end products (Alter Ego , Kuz) and my hair is so full of moisture that i'm only moisturizing every 3-4 days! I remain excited for my year end length check!

Thanks Hopefully when I get to that stop I won't feel like it is so short! :yep:
I guess like one of the other sisters said, anything past our shoulders you can't see so it appears short still! I told my hubby must be the garden work I did this weekend! :grin:

Girl Stop right there. Keep up all the good things you use in your hair and don't snip snip and you'll be fine.

I am on a tight one with MBL I have to grow all inches and not cut to much! So :perplexed:perplexed:perplexed we both have to keep our fingers crossed!

Also Ladies I think I am going to go for WL next year December 2011! I think that will be my Ultimate goal now! I think that is long enough without interfering with potty duty!

For the summer I am going to rock a nice Afro Puff Phony pony and Afro Updo :D

I think that looks nice on me. I will not put gel on my hair maybe a little designer touch around the edges to keep it from blowing away like my hair likes to! I want to keep it nice looking without to much product and heat!

You don't have far to go before you are BSB/BSL length. Judging from your siggy pic. You will be there in no time. I would say at least before the summer.

Congrats to everyone who made it so far!!!...I finally got detangling under control (I think/hope) and now I can foucs on retaining length...I know I will have to get a trim that will set me back big time because I was pretty rough detangling for a while and my ends are a mess...not split, just uneven from detangling breakage...I don't plan to get a cut/trim until well after I reach my goal because I want to still have a nice length when it gets cut...still been cowashing and PSing...I may try henna this week to see if it helps me stretch longer...I'm a little over 11-weeks post now.

What are you using to detangle? That is the bane of my existence right now :wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::lachen::lachen::lachen::lachen:
 
Is it too late for me to join this challenge? I hope to make BSL by Dec 2010.

Here are my photos (sorry they are kind of big!!!):

I plan to keep it simple, wash and detangle twice a week. Lately I've been wearing wash n go's, using HEHH as a leave in. I always do a hot oil treatment the night before I wash my hair, and a DC once a month. I don't plan to straighten my hair again until July, and then again in December. With no trims until December (maybe).
 
:welcome: UR HAIR IS BEAUTIFUL healthy and shiny and WOW! U go girl, nice nice nice nice nice! I am loving all pics. :D

Oh yeah, WElcome to BSB/BSL Challenge of 2010 :lick::lick::lick::lick::lick:

Thank you for the compliments and warm welcome!! :) I'm anxious to see if I can really grow my hair to BSL by December. In the past, I've been very scissor happy...getting trims when I don't really need them. I did a BC in Feb 2009 and I am still recovering!

Your hair is beautiful. You will definitely make it by December if not before. Welcome to the challenge.
 
Well I have an update, I did a length check about 1 week ago, Ive made progress with the weekly DC's and 100% bunning, but I just realized that BSL on me is practically where MBL is on me (give or take an inch). I have a really long back, so I def wont be making BSL by June, my goal is to make BSL/MBL by Dec. Nothing has changed in my reggie, just the same ol dame ol, wash and dc weekly, protein spray leave in, bunning, and vitamins. Very simple, little to no manipulation, I only comb my hair once a week when Im washing. I am relaxing next month, that will put me at 16 weeks post. This is def my longest stretch ever. So far so good, no major problems.

I am BSL/BSB. I wear my bra REALLY low. But I am still in this because I want to be full BSB by the end of the year and my hair has a lot of layers
