Count me in! I am about 2 inches below shoulder. Man would I love to be armpit length by May.

Regimen:
Pre-poo: 2 times/week EVOO and Suave M/H co. (Leave in for 2 hours)
H20 Wash: 2 times/week
Moisturize: Daily-(Hair) ORS olive oil moisturizer; (Ends/Edges) Mango Butter
MTG: 2 times/week

Heat: I will use the Maxiglide as needed (prob. every 2 weeks) and wear in a bun. I'm strongly leaning towards transitioning.
 
I'd like to do a challenge as well so count me in. I am really short so I was thinking shoulder length might be a realistic goal for me.

Hello, I would like to be in on this one, I'm pass shoulder length and should be able to make it to APL by June 06, God willing, My regimen consist of:

Pooing thurs. and Sun., w/Nexxus Therapee/Botanoil/Assure.
DC w/Nexxus Humectress/Miss Key 10 en 1/Silicone Mix/or Coconut Milk and Avacodo.
Pree-poo w/EVOO only on Thurs.
Protein Treatments w/Nexxus Keraphix (light) used whenever I use the Botanoil Poo, Elasta QP BCS (medium) or Emergencee (heavy) once a month.
My next relaxer is in Feb. and right around the end of the challenge it should be touch-up time again for a more accurate measure.
 
I'm in! My goal is for the front of my hair to reach Armpit length by June 30th. The back of my hair is almost bra-strap length so the back is good. It's an agressive goal but I think I can reach it. I reached my shoulder length goal and I was assuming almost an inch a month (and without aid, my hair only grows 1/4 inch a month).
 
Ok, I am finally gonna step up to the plate and take this challange. I really believe I can do it if I put some extra effort into it., so count me in....I'll give my self till June 1 of '06 cause I'm just below shoulder right now.
 
I am in this challenge as well...I was in the shoulder challenge of 2005 and made it so I am in this one to the till the end I plan on rocking braids for 8 months and maybe a wig of weave the other 3 months
 
Hey ladies...I was thinking that sometime during the 1st week in January that all the people on the challenge should do an official measurement of how many inches you have to achieve before you reach armpit level and post it. I will be getting a relaxer during that week so that will be the perfect time for me. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I think thats a great idea. I will be getting a relaxer as well during my vacation. I will also be overhalling my regime. So it will be a great time for me to update my progress. Look for ward to hearing from everyone else.

Happy Holidays,

Andrea

Ill try my best, I dont plan on relaxing till April 1st though
 
okay ladies since I have braids I wont be able to measure but I did take about an inch and a half off my hair so I will try to make a line across my old picture to where my hair is now but I will be rocking the braids for a while. How ofter are we going to post pictures how about every 3 or 4 months so it wont be overwhelming. I plan on getting my braids touched up for Valentines day and then wearing them for another month so that should take me to the middle of March. I will upload some pics tonight I have been meaning to do so but my camera has been at my friends house for 2 weeks.

I also went and brought 2 more bottle of biotin and I am going to try not to miss any days on my vitamins.

Touch-up every 8 weeks or more...
Hardcore protein treatment every 6 weeks...
CW every other day once I reach 5 weeks post...
Clarify every 3 weeks because of using MTG...
Shampoo/Deep condition once a week...
CW once a week...
Products will be vary from time to time but I have my staples... I am a PJ...

My staples are:

    1. Stay Strong conditioner
    2. Coconut Oil & milk
    3. Profective products
    4. Hask(for stretching relaxer)
    5. Wave Nouveau moisturizing lotion
    6. Black Castor Oil & Reg Castor oil too
    7. Emergencia
    8. NTM

LOL, what was she thing?

If she's anything like me, she's thinking an "armpit" challenge sounds a little funky. :lachen: Since I first joined I've always giggled to myself whenever anyone said anything about an armpit challenge. I know, I know, some people never grow up.
 
I was thinking armpit is where your arm opens..that would be kinda in the middle of your actual armpit but we can get a consensous and follow that.
 
Hey girls, I know its kinda late so I hope you don't mind me joining. I just had my boyfriend measure my hair and its about 2 inches from armpit length. My regimen consist of....

Braids, keeping them in for about 10 weeks at a time. While in braids, I plan to do the crown & glory method, making sure my hair is moisturized at all times. Oil my scalp with 3 times a week. Also I plan to wash them once a week and spray my braid spray along with infusium 23 on my braids.

When out of braids, I plan to wash & deep condition weekly along with a light protein. Oil my scalp with MTG, do the baggie method or some other kind of protective style. Make sure that I don't manipulate with my hair. Keep heat to a minimum.

Other things...

*Trim as needed
*Take my vitamins
*Excercise
*Eat Healthy
*64oz of water daily
 
I'm in! Plannning on reaching this goal by 05/2006 and move on to BSL 09/2006.

I'm currently at 17".

I would like tho get in on this :yep:

I don't have a regimen down pat but I have some ideas:
*No more CG until I get my nape and edges back and then get the braid video and learn to do it on my own because the last two times I got them I think it was too tight
*Co-wash every other day

LOL :lol: That's all. I have to think this out more clearly
 
i made it to armpit recently this yr

my tips are:

airdry it!
bun it AT ALL TIMES outdoors!
let it out at home, wear a vest top so ur hair wont rub!
find some STAPLES!

Thank you for that. We need to hear it especially the part about the bunning. I couldn't believe how much length I retained by bunning.
