[NinasLongAmbition]

Its on and poppin' add me! I am currently necklength 4b natural. I hope i can disqualify myself due to me reaching my goal before 2013!

 

[polished07]

Add me please it has been a long hard road but I can see myself at graduation (my masters) with WL hair flowing from it ! Leggo !

 

[Long-n-Strong_Naturally]

I'm in and excited to be joining all of you! 2013 seems very do-able with plenty of time to fall off the wagon and get back on

 

[Phaer]

I am in, are we talking streched or unstreched?

 

[Soul♥Flower]

I'm in too. I took a break from hair this year (plus everthing else) and I shouldn't have done that. lol

WL by 2013 sounds doable

 

[NikkiQ]

Wow! The challengers list is getting long up in this piece!

I think it depends on what your personal goal is and where you're at with length now. For most people including myself it's stretched for sure.

This challenge is for both natural and relaxed.....if your goal is to reach WL by 2013 you are welcome to join...for most of us naturals/transitioners we're doing our length as WL stretched by 2013....but if anybody thinks they can reach WL unstretched by 2013 you can join as well.....we're just aiming for our waists in 2013

Wow! The challengers list is getting long up in this piece!

Okay??? I liking it though.....and don't forget even if you are too late for me to ad your name to the list (January 31,2011) you can still join in even though the challenge officially starts December 31, 2010

You can count me in as well. I'm a 4b natural and my length is NL/EL.

So I said I was going to do a review of the new Suave Aloe Vera and the Shea Butter conditioners. This will be more of a mini-review.
I really really wanted to like these conditioners and used them both as a co-wash, leave-in, and rinse out conditioner and all though they did an OK job I can't say that I was overly impressed. They both have a decent amount of slip and softness to the hair. They are decent for detangling and don't seem to add buildup. Still I have used other products that give more umph. I give them 3 out of 5.

Onto my hair. I have been good about taking my time to detangle - still getting used to the fact that it takes time and patience in dealing with my kinky hair. I have learned that my hair must stay stretched esp. when sleeping as to avoid the dreaded SSKs. I recently bought some whole leaf aloe vera juice. My sister made a mix 50/50 of aloe vera and water in a spray bottle and it is awesome! I used some this morning and my hair is still somewhat soft - it is usually incredibly dry by the end of the day. I think I have a new ingredient to experiment with.

I started the BC to WSL challenge (naturals only) and our goal is WSL by 2013.

Add me to this challenge and I can update both at the same time, it will be fun to watch some relaxed heads grow to WSL too! This is going to be fun!

I BC'd to about an inch in Apirl 2010 and I now have 5.5 inches of hair.

 

[MochaMooch]

I've been rocking Ceily plaits under a bonnet under a scarf all week....today i'm gonna rock somethin to work.....i have a patch on the side of my head from where i mini chopped (see blog) last weekend. ....so i will be using lots of gel and bobby pins for the next couple of months.


So i know this challenge is for waist length in 2013.....anybody have an Ultimate Goal beyond that?

 

[sweetpeadee]

I'M IN!!!!!!

I'm currently APL and have a good amount of time to git 'er done!!!!

 

[Evallusion]

Yay for day 1 of the challenge!

I'm currently in 2 strand twists which I wear under a beanie or wig.

Attached are my starts pic for day 1 of the challenge (one loose, one twisted). I am mostly 4 inches all around and 3.5 inches in one stubborn patch at the crown of my head.

 

[Long-n-Strong_Naturally]

I don't think I've ever been so excited about a challenge before! I'm between APL and BSL right now. My ultimate goal is a healthy head of tailbone length stretched. Every journey begins with the first step right?

 

[aishasoleil]

I would like to join please!

I am currently just past SL (for me that is about 8" in the back. The front and sides of my hair are only about 7". Lol. My hair grows so weird). I'm completely natural and have been since Sept. 15 2009. I have been surprised at how much my hair has grown and how fast time has flown by! It's grown so much that many family members who don't see me on a regular basis have asked me if I'm wearing a wig. LOL! I take it as a compliment.

I decided this year to use a fully ayurvedic regimen. So far I really like it. I won't lie, it can get a bit messy with mixing the powders and applying and all that... but the way my hair feels! OMG, my hair loves this reggie. So does my bank account! If anyone is ever interested in this type of reggie, check out the Moptop Maven. Her blog (and youtube channel) is WONDERFUL!

Anywho, I wish everyone luck on their journey to WL in 2013. This will be fun, I think! SN: If anyone is interested at all in seeing my starting pic, here is a link to the HYH 2011 Challenge I am in as well: 2011 HYH Challenge! Starting Pix (Part I) - Page 4 - Long Hair Care Forum I am the 6th post down I believe. ​

Waist Length stretched 2013 let's get it!!!! I am in need of a deep conditioner that does grandiose things......so i just ordered the Banana Hibiscus.....i never remember complete names of products....but anyway....the Hibiscus Banana deep treatment from Curl Junkie, yesterday as well as the Curls in a Bottle.

I'm still on my Tresemme Naturals conditioner though....i LOVE that stuff!! So last nite i shampoo'd with my Catwalk Oatmeal and Honey shampoo, conditioned with the Tresseme and detangled with my Tangle Teezer....that thing is Jesus in the form of plastic you here me? Works MIRACLES!!!!...

...and after towel drying i put in Tresseme as a leave in and Seyani Hair Butter for moisturizing and some Jojoba oil....the hair in the front feels very soft and fluffy.....my peeps in the back is so dry and crunchy.....i might have to start buying products for to different textures is what it seems.
