12 inches in 12 Months 2012!

Just an update ladies! I'm 10weeks post right now and I've gotten a good amount of growth. I blow-dried and flat-ironed as best I could. I wore it out for the weekend and now its cornrowed up again. I'm planning a 6month relaxer stretch. I've been wearing cornrows (no extensions) since Jan 1 and washing and redoing them every week.

1st pic: now
2nd pic: late dec

bigbrowneyez your hair is nice. Did you get a trim? I noticed in the first pic you haid thin see thru hair in the middle. But in the second pic it had filled out nicely. Did you trim or did your hair just eventually filled out.

Nope, actually the second pic is in late Dec and the first pic is now. The ends always look thin when I flat iron my new growth b/c i never get them all, so it looks uneven and thin. everytime i relax and the roots are all straight, it looks even.

Ok. That makes since. Your hair looks nice and healthy.
 
Hi everyone. I'm having a horrible experience on LHCF. I'm not going to be on it for a few weeks, I hope you can understand.

Update: I'm not sure if I even want to be on LHCF anymore to be perfectly honest. I haven't felt like this in a long time. FYI, I reached WL - I was going to upload pictures but I can't trust LHCF at all anymore. I went from balding to WL in 3 years - I was hoping to share my hair journey and regimen in the next week - I had it all typed up but I can't deal with LHCF right now.

I still need to make my mind up but if I don't stay, I'm not sure if they'd let someone else take over the challenge?

If you have any questions, I'll be more than happy to help. Follow me on twitter http://www.twitter.com/bootyfurl

Anyway, thank you all for everything and maybe for the last time HMHG <3

Inspiired

Please don't let one negative incident deter you from posting :nono:

I'd like to see your progress photos and I'm sure everyone else in this thread would like to see them, too. You could just post them here instead of creating a new thread :yep:

Whatever you decide, good luck and HHG!

Dont allow what happened yesterday take away your happiness. As you journey through life, you will certainly come across situations that may try to stumble, crash and overcome you. But when you know what youre about, you simply ignore them, stay focused and keep moving. Giving up simply means youve been overcomed.

Keep pressing on to fulfil your reason for joing this hair forum
 
Inspiired Heck No you cant quit. I did not give you permission. Plus you have not fulfilled your 12 inches obligation. You owe me 12 inches missy. And I want you to know that I am a slow grower. :wallbash: So I am going to need more than 12 months. So with that said you can take like a week off but by Monday I am going to need you to post them pics and regimen. :lol:

But for real I am sorry that you went thru that. I understand you are going to need a few days. But Im not feeling you leaving your challenge and the site. I am looking forward to hearing your hair journey. Dont be a stranger.
 
I would like to join in on this challenge. I have three layers. I am recovering from a 5 year shed. Lost 2/3 volume.:sad: So here are my goals. To gain at least 4 inches from the first two layers in length. Additionally four inches from all three layers in thickness. Add it all up and that is 20 inches:spinning: I have been at BCL(I thought it was TBL. I am now corrected on that point) for 5 years. My lower layer has this past year moved on to TBL(actual). Don't know how fast it will grow. But 4 inches on that would put me at Classic. :yep: Let see now, another four inches and that is a grand total of 24 visable inches in progress goal for this year.:lick:

I already do all of your suggested items in some form or another. I need to be more diligent and this challenge will help. Planning on a one year lose wet hair photo aniversary this week and will post the different layers with the bulk lengths.

Inspiired, stick to your goals and don't let anything in life deter you from them. We can learn from every experience. Don't walk away before you've accomplished what you want from this forum. The dust will settle and everything will work out. Whatever went down, went down. You gotta shake it off and pick yourself back up. If we let things push us down and hold us back, where would any of us be? You acknowledge it, take a step back, regroup and come back strong. I'm so happy to hear you made WL. I hope you return and post some beautiful pics for us.

Good grief,
Inspiired, where have I been? I didn't know you were having a hard time on LHCF. I know the girls here can be quite brutal but I had no idea YOU were having a hard time too.

I had stepped away from the board for the best part of maybe 6 or 7 months and after taking that breath of fresh air, I came back. Sadly to find that the same problems exist - just different players in the same game. You know, there are a few positive people that you can rely on and we will support your efforts.

Everything negative will pass, with time. Just spend your time with the folks that uplift and build you up. Stay away from the spirit and will-breakers. That is what they do. They have a grand old time doing it too but don't let them defeat you.

Be like the Phoenix, rise from the fire refined and sore like the champion you are and you ARE a champion. You are beautiful and kindhearted and sweet. If you must take a short break, then do so, but you come back ya hear? Take the time you need to regroup, but when I hear from you again, I will hear your war cry, the sound of the warrior that is you:yep:. Okay?

I have no idea what happened or what could have happened to make you feel this way, but I hope you come back after taking a short while to regroup. You seem like a remarkable young woman.

I looked and saw the threads and posts you were referring to. I'm sorry people can be harsh and insensitive, especially in how they express and opinion.

I hope you don't let that keep you away. That was only a very small percentage, not LHCF as a whole.

Didn't see this before I joined the challenge.:sad: I had planned to just stay over at the TBL thread so I think I will stick to that and drop out of this thread.
 
Noooo! I'm not even in this challenge but I check here daily for inspiration. Inspiired please don't let the haters get you down.ignore the haters and do what God sent you on this board to do: INSPIRE!!! Tbl from bald in 3 yrs? You best spray some trick-be-gone and come back in here :p
 
Got my two inches for sure! From Neck Length to Full shoulder in two months, woot. FYI, since I am in the no heat challenge, my length checks can vary. My damp length check was neck length January 1. This check is on damp hair too, hope it is pretty acurate. Hope to be able to use this picture for future comparisons.

Since I am feeling myself right now, I think I will go back to using MT. This growth was just using Ayurvedic teas, and onions.

@Inspiired I have not been in the hair forum for a while and have no idea what has happened. I am very sorry to find out you are upset :nono:. Please don't go just because of a few on this forum. If you do, just take a break and re-join us in a few weeks. Lots of hugs.

I have been sticking to my reggie and have at last gained length. My siggy is my progress pic. On 1st Jan my hair just touched the top of my vest - yay. My starting pic is in post #4.

well I dont think I have gained any length - but sticking at it, have been a bit lazy and the last 2 weeks have been just baggying, washing hair put in conditioner then baggy

does anyone else suffer from serious tangles? I can detangle then my hair just tangles within seconds rather annoying
 
Hmmm So I have started with vitamins... I am excited on how healthy they re making my nails look but cannot tell about my hair... because it is in super tiny braids i had installed when i went home in Niger over christmas ...
When a vitamin is showing good results on your nails, does it mean it is also working on your hair??? :) ( I am trying to get reassurance they re working :))
