OMG!!! I'm almost waist length......

[Ms Lala]

When I wear my hair up, it is usually in a bun, twists in a bun, or a single braid in the back. I just received some Hairzings today, and so far I love them. They are going to be just perfect for my "protective styles."

Usually I do not flat iron my hair. I had not flat ironed my hair in about two years. In March, I decided to try to grow my hair to WL. That is when I started to flat iron to measure length.

I was flat ironing my hair every couple of weeks since March, but I have not flat ironed my hair since May and I will not flat iron again until October, for my birthday. Then again in December, when hopefully I will have reached my goal of WL with thick ends. After that, I will probably flat iron once a year to measure length and trim if needed.

I use Fantasia IC Hair Polisher Heat Protector STRAIGHTENING SERUM to flat iron. I am waiting for my samples of Sabino Moisture Block since I have read such rave reviews about it.

THanks so much for the info. I use the same heat protectant. Your hair was probably okay since you hadn't used it in so long. I have to suck it up and cut out so much heat use or I"ll never reach my goal length. YOur hair is gorgeous.

Again, thank you ladies very, very much. I have been lurking on LHCF for almost a year just soaking up all of this wonderful information.

So in March of this year, I decided that I will try to grow my hair to waist length and the journey began.

I have already told a few of you my story:

I have been natural since 2004. Prior to that, I relaxed my own hair about two times a year. My hair was mid-back length then. When my daughter lost all of her hair during her chemotherapy and radiation treatments, I cut all of my hair to about three inches. It did not bother me at all because I love my natural hair.


At one point, I was trimming my hair every couple of months because I wanted to keep my natural hair around shoulder length which was easy to manage; just wash and go without any problem.

I really do not do much for my hair other than TLC and keeping my regimen as simple as I can.

My Regimen: (Inspired by Candy C, MedMunky, & RedTweety); although they do not even know it

Preshampoo Oil Treatment: amla & shikakai oil the night before wash day

Shampoo: Shikakai bar every 4 weeks and as needed. Ayurvedic hair powders (amla, shikakai, brahmi) 2x per week per Candy C's instructions

Cowash: 2x per week, w/Tresemme Pro-Vitamin B & Aloe, Vitamin E

Deep Condition: After every wash with Queen Helen Cholesterol + EVOO or Aussie 3 Minute Miracle

Daily Moisturize: Giovanni Direct Leave-In Moisturizer, Qhemet Biologics amla & olive heavy cream, Hair2Heaven endall to seal

Nightly Scalp Massages: Gro-Aut oil and Mahabhringaraj oil

Sleep with satin cap. The only time I use direct heat is when I flat iron my hair.

That's about it, I forgot to add that I take a multi-vitamin (Wal-Mart Brand) daily.

I think the the growth spurt is from the warm humid weather here in the South. Also, my hair is moist all the time and I wear it up almost 99% of the time.

wow! i'm chuffed to knwo i inspired you!!!


you had some amazing growth there, eye-popping!!!!!!!!!


congrats xxxxxxx
