This summer I hope to be ssk and split end free. I hope to have retained some length. I'm not sure how long my hair is but BSB would be nice. I need to straighten and take a pic to see where I am. I also hope to find an alternative to curl activator gel for my wng.

I'm two months late and in the WL 2012 challenge... But I may not make it to WL in 2012 ALTHOUGH I'm STILL TRYING~!

I'll post pics soon.
 
I don't feel like my hair is growing. Everyone says that it is but I swear it's at the same spot that it was at back in December. SL seems so far away! I'm trying to stay consistent with my hair but if the summer rolls around and I'm not SL I think I am going to be upset. :(

Are you like....sittin in the mirror watching your hair grow?:lol::lol::lol:...im doing the same thing!!!:grin:

But im tryin not to stay super focused on watching it grow bc then you don't really notice the progress.

I had been wearing my hair in twists for the past couple of weeks...this week i decided to wear a picked out fro....and bc my hair was twisted i didnt really notice the progress until i picked it out after a month of wearing them and noticed my afro has gotten slightly bigger:yep:

So after this week i think im gonna go back into twisting it up.....i finally figured out how to do a puff too!!!

Mmmm maybe it's time for me to stop being lazy and do twists. I think my hair is finally long enough that it won't stick up in weird directions.
Congrats on being able to put your hair in a puff. I'm still patiently waiting for that.
 
SIGH i want to join i was in the 2011 waist length and would have made it if i wasnt going natural:cry::fistshake::fistshake:

just cut some relaxed ends not all though....im not ready:look::look:
 
Hey ladies :)

Hope all is still going well with everyone....@Diva_Esq...do you make those t shirts in your avi?

Ya'll....i had my first negative comment from a stranger yesterday about my natural hair. I know i shouldnt let it get to me but im just a teeny bit sensitiiive.:grin:

It was all bc my mother told him how i had just chopped off all my hair that was waistlength.....and i hate when you're around ppl that think they know everything....won't let you get a word in for why you do things the way you do...even though they wanna know:rolleyes:

So i said....there are so many diffeent reasons why i chopped my hair off.

And i left it like that....bc when you get to know me (which he didn't and had the nerve to tell me he was mad that i chopped my hair off or as he said (messed it up:rolleyes:))....you can kinda understand why i do what i do.

Im a very symbolic person...like i do things for reasons. If i do something for no reason then something is wrong....i prolly need a refill on my pills:lol:. Betta check on meh!:grin:


But yeah...just thought i'd share me and Reina's first negative encounter:drunk:

It actually made me laugh bc he cool ppls but i laugh at the ignorance of ppl (inside of course bc they just don't know any better).

NikkiQ omg congrats! the 2011 transition thread must be a little dead now everyone's BC'ing
It's been a while since I posted, school has me on lockdown lol. This summer, I hope to be either full neck length or grazing shoulder length:grin:. Yes I'm reaching :ohwell:
 
I need to get my hands on some black soap....until then im content with using my sulfate laced shampoo :lol:.....i tried the no poo method for a month and even though it made/kept my hair soft...my scalp was itching like crazy!!!
 
As posted elsewhere, here's my update:

So yeah...guess who got their first weave? :grin: Finally! I snuck in the bathroom at work to take a pic. It was curled but after flying around at work..well, you know... Either way, I'm liking not having to think about my hair. This thing is tight as heck...hoping this dissipates in the next few days. I'm shooting for a full 8 weeks so if you see me posting about taking this weave out, please SPANK ME!!!! :yep:

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site but I have been wanting to join a hair growth challenge for a while now, so I'm in! Hopefully I will be well into waist length by 2013 lol!
 
Since wearing my hair out in a wng I've experienced a lot of breakage. I should know better but I kept doing that style. So last week I straightened my hair because I had the flu and needed to have dry hair until I got better. Today I felt inspired to "trim" it. I'm glad it's straight so I could see how the gel was eating up my ends. All the progress I had is gone but that's ok because I have until 2013 to reach the prize.

Before pic. It's not really clear but you can see the thin ends and what has to go.

After pic. It's all pretty even though it doesn't look like it.

aefe4315-0172-8aee.jpg
This how much I "trimmed". I'm going to start babying my ends now.

aefe4315-01e4-a112.jpg
My baby bun will be my PS for a while.

I'm also wearing my hair straight because I'm tired of the SSKs. (Sorry if the pics aren't clear and too big. I'm my own photographer and I'm using my phone)

ETA: I'm going to use the after pic as my starting pic. I'm not a regular pic taker.
