Aaaah, girl!!
You caught me in here stalking these updates! LoL
I should have official EOTY comparison pix by tomorrow.

 

[Ms. Tiki]

Yeah MzSwift I'm waiting myself. LOL

OK, here's my contribution:

At first I was super bummed until I looked at it and realized that my bra and shoulder blades aren't lined up the same as the 2012 pic. So I took another on my own to see it compared to the lines.

More importantly... perspective. BC 10-Jun-09

I'm doing alright for a girl who thought APL was long.

Wow wow wow MzSwift. I adore it. Don't you have some pictures of you with an afro? Seems like I remember your wreath on the wall (not that I'm a stalker).

Ladies,

I'm loving all of this year end hair porn,

ilong

I appreciate how you always cheer lead everyone along!

This is my 2nd flat iron of the year, the first is in my siggy (June). I think that my hair did alright this year, bit I know that I have been majorly slacking lately. My goal for the new year is to trim more regularly.

MileHighDiva - - you're a great "lead cheerleader" yourself.

I believe that's what the forum is (or should ) be all about helping and encouraging one another.

Here is my photo taken yesterday. I am now BSL!! I hope to make WL December 2014. Off to join that challenge...

 

[openexpression]

I haven't been documenting my hair growth consistently and I want to change that so here are 2 pictures of Nala (my hair...lol) from the end of this year. The first one is my staple style: a chunky twist out and the second one is my hair after being flat ironed and trimmed. My stylist took apprx. 1 inch off and added some curls with the flat iron. When I pull it I'm between APL and BSL. Next year I'll be consistently hiding my hair because I'm getting serious about my weight loss. I'll alternate between Kinky Twists and sew-ins. I hope to reach waist length by mid 2015.

This year wasn't really too bad, or too good. I got to comfortable with my hair and was using heat without heat protectant. I failed to deep condition like I used to. Which for the past few months now, I went back to these practices and have seen improvements. I trimmed 4x this year to get rid of the breakage, and thin ends I was seeing. Overall, I'm happy with the growth, and lessons learned.

 

[SouthernScienceNerd]

I straightened my hair twice this year and went from grazing bsl (attached) to grazing wsl (in my siggy). I lightly trimmed each time that I straightened. I hope to reach hl by this time next year. Also, I want to find new ways to stretch my hair without heat so that I can see the length more often. (Please excuse my cluttered bathroom)

 

[afrofaithful]

I've only got a picture of my hair curly. I got some retention but not as much as I'd hoped. Next year I will make it to BSL for sure!

 

[ArinaDonne]

I am loving you all hair growth progress. I just joined the site so I do not have any comparison pictures but I do know that next year I will be on top of the game. Great pictures to everyone. My signature is my current hair length. Last year I cut a pretty good amount to get rid of my relaxed ends. I am now 100% natural.

 

[lesedi]

Wow! So many beautiful heads of hair in here! !

 

[geejay]

My comparison is of braid-outs on straightened hair.

I'm not sure whether hooded blow dryers count as applying heat. I have not flat ironed my hair all year. I get a relaxer every 8-10 weeks. A hooded dryer is only used when I get a relaxer or deep condition my hair. I get a trim every relaxer. I haven't done any special treatments this year. I am not sure what my current length is. I hope to reach MBL by the end of the 2014. The first pic is from Dec 2012 and the second pic is from today (air dried hair).

 

[LexiDior]

Made SL!!

I relaxed on Christmas.

My progress this year:

View attachment 239689

1st pic is from January at SL after hair cut
2nd pic - April, past CBL
3rd pic - September, grazing APL

I've done a lot of trimming since September since I'm transitioning so my hair is a bit shorter than my April length now. Hoping to finish my transition and regain my length in 2014!

 

[Froreal3]

1st pic is February 2013, 2nd is yesterday 12/28/2013. I went from about shoulder/grazing APL to full BSL this year. Hope to make MBL by Spring and be grazing waist by December 2014.

I think its time to change your screen name. I'm thinking "LookOutBSLI'mCOminForYa" or "BSLGetInMyRegi" or my personal fav "APLYourJustGotOWNED"

You went from APL to BSB in 8 months! Get it girl!

I'm very pleased MzSwift. I was just touching BSB in September and I think I probably grew another inch since then...so yay. Can't wait to reach MBL. Only two more inches for that.

 

[Lilmama1011]

Well I finally cut my hair even all around, I actually cleaned it up a bit more the week after this photo , but this gives you a rough draft. I am between shoulder length and apl now, I was apl. I am happy that the back of my hair has grown so fast from February with it only being two inches, I need to keep doing what I'm doing

 

[Ms. Tiki]

I am loving the progress pics. I will be up in here around New Year's eve or New year's day

 

[MzSwift]

Ms. Tiki

at you putting it off to the last day!
