Ok. I think im ready to get back on the WL train! Ive been steadily recovering from a major setback for 7 months now and I think the worst is over. It was so devastating that I haven't photographed my hair since January. Will be back with my check-in info when I can take a good starting pic.

Im sooo excited!!! Lets get it !!!

Fotki: Don't have one.
Starting Length: About APL
Hair Status: Transitioning (about two years of natural growth)
Expect to Achieve WL by: December 2012,  if not before that
My Short Term Goals:
1. BSL by December 2011
2. MBL by March or April 2012
3. WL by December 2010
3. FULL WL by sometime in 2013

Regimen:
I'm in an install currently so I just wash my hair once a week and get under my braids and keep them moisturized and clean.

I don't usually wear my hair out unless I've just taken my install down. I'm also in a PS challenge, and I'll probably be wearing weaves until December 2012 because my hair grows best that way.

I'm currently taking 2 1000mg pills of MSM. So far it's made my body hair grow really fast (LOL) but I just started taking it a week ago so I'm not sure how it's affected my hair.

ETA: Update with picture. This was about a month ago (I believe July 22nd) I didn't straighten very well and I had just taken it down from being in a bun.

I would like to join this challenge please!!!

Fotki: I don’t remember my fotki at the moment. I don’t use it at all but once I remember I’ll update.
Starting Length: grazing APL
Hair Status:Currently in a weave with some left out on top
Expect to Achieve WL by: December 2012
My Short Term Goals:
1. I’m going to focus on getting thicker ends, split ends and ssk’s
2. Healthier hair all around
3. BSL by 12/2011

4. Cutier Protective styles

5. Full BSL by 02/2012 and full MBL by 06/2011. I don’t even know if the is doable but that’s what I want

Regimen: I’m currently taking nioxin 2 a day, MSM 1000 mg, omega 3 6 9, super b complex once a day and spirulina when I remember. (I’m thinking of adding a biotin tablet as well)

My regimen while in the weave is new to me. I’ve had about 5 weaves and this is my first during my HHJ. I’ve only had it about a week but so far I’ll use braid spray mixed with a little aloe vera juice and infusium on my hair every night. The part that’s left out I haven’t done too much just a little moisturizer. I’m not sure what my wash schedule should be yet. I’m still researching that part. But I’m leaning towards once a week. I haven’t washed yet because it’s only been a week. But once I do I plan on using my sulphur and MN mixes.

When I’m not weaved up I co-wash then seal just about every day and wet bun. Deep condish once a week. I’ve recently added henna to the mix which I love love love. Don’t smack me but I just did my first hard protein treatment for the first time about 2 weeks ago. Before that I was using aphogee 2 minute reconstructor. I try to stay in twists if I’m not bunning but they don’t last as long as I would like. They get too frizzy too fast for my liking.

Hopefully I get to WL before Dec 2012. If this install goes well I’ll probably stay in a weave so I’m not messing with my hair so often. Good luck to everyone.
