W"HIP" Length 2012 Challenge!

[regina07]

@JJamiah yes I need one! I don't know why I'm itching for a blunt cut! My hair is hella thick which is why I always had short layers.

I still may cut my 2 inches off my tail in December. It'll still be at BSL! LOL!

bebezazueta - I'm in for an intervention! If your hair doesn't grow in a blunt style, why fight it? Step away from the scissors -- better yet, bury them in the yard!

I 2nd that, step away from the scissors, I blunt cut and all it did was mess up my hair length goals, cause technically if I hadn't cut I would be Whip already, I'm just saying.

 

[bebezazueta]

regina07 & Lucia thanks! Yall are right on time. Wisdom & advice is so on point. I been bad. I need to throw away my scissors. I cut like at least 3-5 inches in different spots on my head this year. I should be WL but oh wells. My ends are nice so I'll just NOT wear my hair straight. Good thing I'm getting a salonsrus dryer for Christmas so I can Rollerset.

I was going to trim again next month but I'll skip it. I been trimming & NOT dusting monthly since July. I need to be spanked!

I have decided to leave the scissors alone until March 2012. Help!!!!!!!!

 

[bigbrowneyez]

Here's my starting pic! I trimmed about .5in off the tips. I have 2in til WL and 5in total til HL, so about 3.5in to WHIP length.

My goal is 1) STOP getting trims by SHS (I would've been at WHIP had I not been chasing blunt ends)...I know my hair grows uneven but the ends are never split or raggedy 2) Be at full WL by April, WHIP by September, and HL by December. I think I can manage if I keep the scissors away and continue to protective style. Let's do this!

 

[beauti]

bigbrowneyez....WOW! just...beautiful!

 

[rririla]

[USER][/USER]@bigbrowneyez....ur hair is!!!!....

[Mische]

I'm lurking in this thread debating on whether to join and just have to say:

bigbrowneyez the shape of your hair is absolutely perfect. Your ends are in terrific shape.

 

[bigbrowneyez]

Thanks Mische! You should join this challenge with us! If nothing else it gives us something to shoot for with great support and inspiration.

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

Did I join this challenge? If not, then this is me joining. LOL

Figured I'm bound to get here in 2012 by Dec than the HL 2012 CHALLENGE. Getting a relaxer in a few weeks so that'll be my starting pic. Hopefully I can claim MBL then I will only have 4 inches from waist. *all smiles*

prospurr4 -- OMG! Your curls are gorgeous! How did you do them and how did you get that shine?

bigbrowneyez -- PLEASE hide the scissors. Your hair is beautiful and your ends are perfect ...

 

[Janet']

Just wanted to pop in and say Happy Sunday to all of my WHIP length challenger DIVAS!!!!

 

[prospurr4]

@prospurr4 -- OMG! Your curls are gorgeous! How did you do them and how did you get that shine?

Thanks regina07! Before setting, I washed, added leave-in conditioner, and sealed with just a few drops of safflower oil, which gets me some shine. Then, I rolled my hair vertically on 1-inch rollers, with plain water.

 

[bebezazueta]

Hello whip divas! Thanks for your patience! I finally updated the challenge list. It's never too late to join. We need each other's support.

[bebezazueta]

regina07 please come back with pics!

 

[Mische]

@bebezazueta Aw, thanks! This will be my first official challenge, looking forward to it.

A) List your Reggie
I will shampoo 1x a week, followed by my protein reconstructor and moisture DC. Airdry either straight down using the scarf method or in 6-8 braids. I will only use direct heat after a fresh relaxer--so 4x in 2012. I will stretch relaxers to 12 weeks and not experiment like I did this summer which resulted in a slight setback. I plan to dust more frequently next year because my fine hair tends to look thin towards the ends.

B) # of inches til whip or hip length
I think like 3" til Whip. I'm short.

C) Tell us your LHCF HL goal idol
Too many to name, honestly.

I will post a starting pic at the end of the year.

rririla hello gawgeous! Missing you too lady!

 

[JJamiah]

I washed my hair last night and it was horrible.

I started early afternoon and was so lazy and tired I didn't finish until about 11:45pm

Honestly I was dreading washing, and while washing dreading it still. About 9:30pm Mr. says so R you washing that stuff out, So I had to get to rinsing and steaming in my Alter Ego.

Afterwards I was like wow, I like, and I could tell it grew just a smidge HUH, Will be cutting some of it but my hair grows from Sept/October to March/April. THEN it creeps about 1/8 of an inch a month for the rest of the year. crazy head of mine.

I will be hiding it until April 2012, I am sure this will work for me.

I might hide the whole year not sure. ALOT going on in 2012.
I don't want hair to be on my mind! At all!

But I still have to take care of it right?

 

[Janet']

JJamiah...Girl...how long have I been talking about washing And I still haven't washed...The shame, the shame!!
