RarityFluttershy keep trying because you never know. I have seen some ladies on here start at the same length as I was 3 yrs ago or shorter and are pass me at this time and I am a little jealous right now and I am talking about 1/4" or shorter. lol :lol:

Sorry the second one is sideways....i couldn't figure out how to rotate it....it wouldn't let me.

But yeah....i got ma ponytail back! Haaaaaaaaaayyyyy!!!:woot:

Whats up ladies? Its been quiet up in here!:perplexed
 
SmilingElephant- Your ponytail is so cute!!! I wish I could wear a ponytail...but in time, it will happen :lol: How long did it take your hair to get to that length? You BC'ed in January, but how long did you transition before that? I need to set realistic goals because my head is big and I can't fit it into one ponytail/bun (7 inches long) :lachen::lachen:

I transitioned for 8 months...and i've been natural for 10 months....so i have 18 months of newgrowth on my head.:yep:

Giiiiiirl....i couldn't wait to be able to rock my ponytail again!!! But it will come:yep:....it shocked me! I pulled my headband back and smoothed down the top...looked in the mirror and went..."WOAH! I CAN DO THAT?!":lachen:
 
Hi ladies! I'm fairly new! I think I'll join. I mean, if I'm not WL by the end of 2012 then at least I'm already in the WL 2013. :lachen:

Hiiiii ladies!! :trampolin

I'm just going to keep PS'ing in wigs. It will be 8 months in December since I have been 100% PS'ing. I started in April 2011 wearing wigs and noticed a difference in retention in Aug 2011. From BSB to BSL in four months with no issues. I"m hoping I get the same retention next month. Maybe MBL??? *fingers crossed*

Well here is a pic as of AUG 2011 @ BSL, deep conditioning after a relaxer. I will do an update next month and estimate my growth retention a little better.

SmilingElephant: Congrats On Your Pony.

Nothing New To Report. Still Washing, Conditioning, And Putting My Hair In A Bun Everyday. I Know Boring.:yawn:

Chica, I have seen NJoy go from SL to WL in 8 months, you can totally do it by 2013!!

Shoot, why ya playin', I'm going for WL in 8 months!!:look:
 
LoL!

Girl, I'm wiggin and using braid extensions for the next 8 months.
I'm applying my scalp oil (to finish it up, but that still counts) daily.
And Im gonna keep on envisioning. Honestly, I think the envisioning part is how I grew that much in a month last month.. no lie.

I might get to MBL but that'll still be good for me b/c I was SHAVED in June 2009 and I'm almost BSB as of 01 October. We'll see what December 31st brings.

You just might reach WL by the end of next year:yep:

I really do believe in...if you can see it you can be it:yep:...i'm so tempted to flat iron tho....imma try and hold out til next month...MAYBE!....but i LOVE my curls....i just wanna see how long they are!
 
SmilingElephant

Thanks for the encouragement, lady!
I'm a slow grower, I've been hitting marks slow and steady. But when I took that October pic, I couldn't believe my eyes! I wasn't doing anything especial except envisioning.

Don't use the heat girl. You can just stretch your nape area. Save your flat iron for a special occasion -- you've got goals!!

WL, here we come! :D
 
BSB= Below Shoulder Blade

I use that instead of BSL b/c the brastrap will differ depending on the bra.
 
Hi Ladies, just checking in. I'm still in braids. Did an over night DC no heat. I actually wanted to do a steam treatment this weekend, just couldn't make the time for it. Next weekend I'm definitely going to make time my hair love steam treatments.
 
I really have to laugh at this one. I straighten my hair to do a length ck to see if I was any where near my goal for this yr and my hubby walked in and was like no no... I was like what? he said I don't like that, don't do that again lol I have spoiled him with the curls, who would have known.

Now on to sader news........ I have not reached my goal nor will I my ends were so hard and was tangling in the brush that I have to cut from .5 to 1" of my hair no wonder I was not seaming like I was growing.. well I am so glad I caught them when I did though because it could have even gotten shorter. well we all have set backs.
 
I am really leery of giving my money to these companies that say they have the real stuff when it come to oils like argan oil because that is a lot of money for something that is cut. So I called my ex huband's wife who is from morocco and asked her if she brought some from home with her. lol and yes she did so I ran over there to get some out of her stash :yep: and she gave it up and said she was trying to get her sister to bring more when she comes back and yes I will be there then too :grin:

I am back to my old regi which is co wash everyday and using my mixed chicks during the day and at night my oils and moisturizer and covering it up. It worked well for me all this time until I started trying new things and I end up having to lose a little length :nono: just glad I caught it right... so I took just a dot of the argan oil and rub it on my wet hair before I put the mixed chicks leave in on and my hair is nice and soft and shiny.
