I think you are definitely HL inching to Crackin territory!:grin: Your hair is beautiful... if you never had a setback you'd probably be Classic... Your hair grows amazingly fast!:spinning:
 
thanks candy! even with out the set back i probably would be at the same spot, just fuller with out weird layers :/ lol

but i ought to be grateful my set back just gave my layers and didnt drastically damage my hair or its length.

and to think... conditioner caused all of those problems lol. but you live and you learn lol

i now have it wrapped up in a bonnet and doing my nails

i'm going to go snow boarding in colorodo next week on a lil mini vacay and i wasnt sure if i should leave my hair straight or wear it natural. i honestly have never been any where that cold. i mean not as an adult lol

Vacation sounds great! But don't wear your hair loose in that cold, windy weather...:nono: it will dry out your ends! By the way... your nails are beautiful too! I've been working on mine... they are better but have a little ways to go for beautiful!:lol:

For those who trim their hair by the Lunar Hair Chart.....

Here is the 2011 Lunar Hair Chart Calendar:

https://morroccomethod.com/lunar-hair-chart

I started using it last year....But I know it's not for everyone.

It is interesting that farmers also use a similar chart for growing and picking crops...

I've been using this for years but I do the simple version in any month from the new moon to full moon when the moon is growing trim or cut for growth when the moon is full before it wanes or shrinks cut for thickness when the moon shrinks to nothing don't trim or cut Actually some people trim in his waning phase to keep their hair short. I wonder if SHS do this?
There's an app for lunar cycles calendars.

Yea...I agree..:lol: Although I can't have all of these everyday, I try to fit each of them in throughout the week on a regular basis. My everyday things without fail are milk and/or yogurt, nuts, VitaminC drink and/or Carrots, fruit. Because those are my snack "hair foods" in-between meals!:grin: I am going to add some flaxseed to that.

One other thing I do that is not food..... At work, anytime I go to the bathroom or take a break.... I do stretching exercise for my neck, shoulders, arms, waist, and legs. Plus massage my temple throughout the day. Belief it or not..... this help release any tension that may have built up from work or annoying co-workers.:look:
 
@Candy and MzMomo
Don't you take vitamins too?
If you don't you should think about prenatals cause you can't get all these nutrients daily all the time unless you have a perfect diet.
I checked that list and I'm covered bt actually eating the right foods and vitamins I get all these and more daily.
Candy about the coworker let go and let God they'll get theirs

@Lucia Yes. I do take vitamins. I take Coenzyme Q10 and Omega 3. Sometimes vitamin d. On the work front... I am ok... but still do the exercise because tension does build up and the first place it shows on me is in the neck...

i take daily multi-vit gummies...

i used to take the gummy flintstone kids but now that they have grown up gummies i take those :)
 
I just tried dry DC overnight with Suave Humectant Conditioner it's very thick, they sell it in almost 1L bottles this stuff is great. it might even be better than Suave Tropical Coconut Conditioner. My hair is moist, soft, and even shiny. Right now I'm using both but this may just dethrown STCC as my #1 Conditioner.
 
Is anyone else no longer interested in hair? I am no longer interested in my hair and have even thought about closing my fotki and blog.

My hair looks the same and my regimen hasn't changed. Things are just the same. Hair is the least of my focus. I forced myself to take pics tonight for the new year but I may just eventually go ahead and delete my stuff or just not update.

I'm bored out of my freaking mind.

WOW! where did this come from, don't do anything to your hair right now, seriously.
Are you just going into maintenance mode and not going to grow to longer lengths or are you just tired of the whole updating and pics thing?

I'm not bored with hair yet, but I'm not obsessing on it like before I just do my regimen and go but I'm with you on the blog, fotki etc... once I reach my next goal I might be deleting everything myself too, so I feel ya.
Besides when you do the regimen and ignore your hair it grows faster.

Lucia, I think I'm at terminal length for real this time and that's okay because my hair now touches my butt. I'm just not doing anything to it. Still wash once a week and wear the hair sticks. That's it. I've thought about shaving it off. Sometimes I'm just not into my hair.

My hair journey has come to an end. I've found what works. I have nothing worth posting. I may update again when I straighten.

I still do plan on posting pictures of my newest hair sticks from time to time but no hair updates.

I don't know what to do with the blog. I may just leave it up. I may leave my sites up and just explain that I'm no longer updating anymore. I still enjoy looking at everyone elses wonderful hair pictures though. :yep: Happy hair growing to all.

I don't believe you've reached terminal yet, I think you may have the KL gene :lol: maybe I'll beleive it in 6 months if your hair stays the same length with no cutting.
You may be close to term but everyone gets that hair break after your hair has done alot of growing to long and superlong lengths. Cinnamon hair and other who grow beyond WL have said their hair paused for a while then started growing again. Your hair is GORGEOUS don't shave it don't get frustrated with it, just maintain what you've achieved and enjoy it.

celine, i get what you mean. i think you're just in a funk right now.

i mean those of us who get to this point really dont experiment, we have a reggie down pact, and we're in ps mode most times. there isnt that new and exciting feeling you used to get when you were still trying to figure out what worked or when you were in pj mode and stuff like that

but i think that gives us the edge to growing even longer. when we just leave our hair be and ignore it to an extent, when we do finally get that wild hair to do a length check, there is usually a good surprise to see

CelinaStarr - I can understand having lack of interest in your hair.... I feel like that sometimes. I think it comes with the territory. My thought on it is that hair that reaches tailbone tends to start growing at a much slower pace. I think that is why the people with knee length and floor length hair say that it takes so many years to obtain that length. Hair just starts getting in a CREEP mode and goes through fazes of stagnation.... All very frustrating... so it's better to just not pay attention to it. Thus we lose interest. I myself am not paying very much attention to the length of my hair... I am just taking care of it with the proper maintenance. Maybe by fall I will be surprised. But I don't think about that from a day to day thing like I use too. I am going to change the hair update schedule. There will be NO hair updates in March for everyone in this challenge because the longer length hair just doesn't grow as fast as the other challenges.

The hair updates will be changed to reflect the following:

May 28, 2011
Sept. 30, 2011
Dec. 31, 2011

Don't give up.... just continue to take care of your hair and let it do what it do!:yep:

CL and MT Challenge next year will only be two updates the whole year....

Post a starting pic.
Update in June and December

Also.... I think the less pressure everyone feels, the better. I think those who want to get to Classic will get there and those who want to get to Mid Thigh will get there...patience and time....:spinning:

Thank you. I thought it was just me, I have been feeling the same way about my hair. I am just not as interested in my hair as I was before. It is not as exciting as it was when I was in the process of "growing" it long and trying to find what works for my hair. Now that I know what I am doing and it is the same routine over and over, I just go about my business as usual and leave my hair alone. My growth has seemed to slow down too, I may be reaching terminal length.

I do not post or update often because it seems as if I have nothing new to add.

So I will continue to lurk from time to time to see updates and offer encouragement.

You ladies are the best!!!
 
so i officially have a good section of hair touching the top of my pants :D

hopefully by summer i'll be measuring by my pockets?? *crosses fingers and wishes upon a star with a singing cricket by my side*
