Here are my starting pictures

I did a trim after first texlaxing, Now I want it to go beyond this. It is a long way for apl looking at this pic, but it will be interesting to see how far I make it. When stretched looks closer, But I want my first pic to be at APL.

I will be hiding my hair in a half wig for the whole 6 months and texlaxing at the end of the 6 months. There is some shrinkage, but I want it bra strap with texlax shrinkage.
 
I want to join this challenge too. I have just joined this site although I've been lurking for a year now. My starting pic is in my fotki under the April 2007 date... I don't know how to add pics yet.

This is my starting pic as my ends are curled under but, its a good guage. It sure seems like I have a long way to armpit lenght.
 
Rocking the ponytail today, but I curled the ends up and clipped them and fanned the pony tail out. It's the cutest thing EVER! At least in my mind it is.
 
Count me in. My hair is cornrowed under a wig now so when I take it down this weekend I'll take my starting pic. I'm sure there's no length change from the May pic in my siggy though. :ohwell:

Edited to add starting pic

I would like to join again. Here is a picture of my starting length. I have my hair twisted in the picture so my hair isn't stretched. I would like to reach APL with my twists freshly done. These were taken late June.
The pictures aren't great, but they get the point across!!

The first picture shows 1 twist freshly done with no shrinkage
The second picture show freshly done twists

I like Profectiv break free or healthy ends. Both are relatively inexpensive and feel great on my hair, but you might want to do a search for moisturizer and see what turns up here on the board. Sometimes I have to get out my pad and paper, write some stuff down, and then go the BSS and look, smell, read ingredients.

Also if you hunt down sistaslick she has a link in her siggie to an article she wrote called Regimen Builder... she lists some moisturizers there.

HTH!
 
Ya'll got room for one more? I'm almost there but I need to a trim to even out the ends which will set me back about 2 inches. I may just dust regularly and let them even themselves out. :(

My regimen is to maintain no heat usage and vitamin regimen, NOT USING SLS shampoos, regular henna treatments (my hair thrives with these), relaxing when my hair needs it rather than according to the calendar and prepooing w/Coconut oil. My protective styles will be wigs (full and halves), buns and a single french braid.

Basic goal: SIMPLIFY.

Starting Length July 7, 2007

I'm in.:) This is my first LHCF challenge so I'm excited:D. My starting point is the picture in my siggy. I rarely straighten my hair so I want APL with dripping wet hair as in the picture.
 
I have still not taken a picture of my hair yet. But my method is going to be a rather simple one. Keep it simple. I plan on washing tomorrow so I will have one then.

Try Cantu Shea Butter leave in repair cream. Its $5-6 for a 16oz jar at the BSS. My jar has lasted more than a month and a half and I use it at least once daily...usually twice daily.

Oooh that Cantu looks gooooooooooood. *must not go to BSS!*









But I am almost out of healthy ends.








MUST NOT GO! *chains self to house*


So, I am trying to establish a habit of washing my hair twice a week.. Wednesday and Saturday. I have been going to a salon for wash and sets since April. I am scared to wash my own hair. :D I have waking nightmares of 'bale of hay' hair.
 
Just sent my PM request to Bre Bre, updating my picture in Aug after my next relaxer. I measured tonight and I'm about 3 inches away, but I desperately need a trim.

But the real question what are going to do to get those inches?
I think I'll keep using MTG 5-6 days a week and I'm gonna get serious about my pre-poos and DC. I also plan on using only domician hair conditioners and leave-ins. I working on getting my regimen together. Love this thread! Good luck ladies.
