I started my hair journey here at TLHC in April at a little bit longer than APL. 8 months later I have hit BSL! Actually I think I am a bit past? Hurray! I did have 2 trims in there to get rid of damage. I know I will have to do more eventually. There is a lot of damage from years of flat ironing there.

So this is in April after clarifying and doing my first ever CO...

Now onto waist! Which is a long ways for me. I hope to be there by 2011!

I can't see it yet.. but that is awesome! Congrats. It's always great to reach BSL. That's when it starts feeling truly long. (At least for me) :) GRATZ!

Really great! you think coconut milk helps? I have some damage (from irons, perm, and straigtening kit) most of the time my hair feels good but that seems easy enough to do.

My hair seemed to love it! All I did was put my hair in a pony tail and dunk it in a bowl of coconut milk, made sure it was pretty soaked with it and then wrapped a plastic bag around it and let it sit for an hour. Then CO'd it out. My hair is sooo soft today! I think my ends look more moisturized too. I'm going to try and do it maybe once every two weeks or a month.

Thanks everyone! I am pretty happy with my growth :) I think once I hit waist I am going to just keep trimming there until all the damage is gone....then maybe go longer. We'll see!

I'll be following you shortly, I'm pretty sure my Jan 1st look-see will get me to BSL. Or maybe I'll get it for Christmas.

congrats, you'll be there in no time! I hit BSL in June or July and I'm only 3 inches or so away from waist now. Oh and your hair looks so much healthier now!

Thanks so much everybody! I am soooo happy with my hair right now. It's nice not to fight against it! LOL! I have learned so much from this site!

I got the coconut milk at my local grocery store :) It's in the Asian foods section.
