Classic to Mid-Thigh Length 2011 Challenge

Lucia - No. I have not run into evoo or coconut oil. I have only found olive oil and grapeseed oil that I add my herbs to. So this is what I use. I am really really limited.

If evoo is extra virgin olive oil.... excuse my ignorance!:lol::lachen::lol: Maybe I have been here too long....:look:

:lachen: yes it is
 
Lucia yea... that was just too funny.:grin: I do like grapeseed oil better than evoo because it's much lighter. I didn't snip my ends as much in the pass and that may have been my problem. Now that I have a regular routine we will see what improvements I can make by the May update.
 
how often are you guys trimming? i think i'm gonna trim again next month (last one was in dec). but i'm not too sure yet.

my hair has been irritating me lately. its just not acting or feeling the way it should be but i havent changed anything. which makes me think maybe i need to change something, but then i get scared lol

My last "real" trim was in January, 2010. I've just been clipping individual splits and knots off of the ends since, whenever I see them. Part of me thinks I should do a real trim soon, to even/thicken up the ends BUT, I would have to do a bone-straight flat-ironing job just for that, and I simply do not care enough to do so. My hair is up most of the time anyway, and even when I straighten it to wear out, it's still half-up with curls/waves on the ends... it's not like the ends are ever noticeable anyway.

I did my last trim in December too. Now I am only snipping the ends and S & D. I will be snipping in March. But my reason for this is fuller ends. Otherwise I would only use scissors for S&D.

I really don't think you need a trim unless you are planning to wear your hair down a lot. If you are not, then just snip the ends. You will get the same effect in the long run if you snip on a regular basis.

I just trimmed in Nov 2010 and I'm only going to trim once or twice a year now cause my ends are thick and healthy.
If you're ends are healthy leave them alone, change up your updo's, or start accessorizing with hair toys more, you're hair looks healthy to me. How often are you moisturizing or DC-ing?

i'm content with my hair do and accessories. i just want to get my ends a bit thicker and more blunt. when i did the no trim challenge for a year, i let my ends get a lil more ate up than i usually like them. but on the same note i didnt want to trim too much so i under trimmed to make sure i didnt give my self heart palpitations lol.

i guess what i want is to keep my ends as good as possible while trimming the least

when it comes to dc'ing, i'm not going to lie, i cant remember the last time i dc'd or did a protein treatment lol.

i moisturize when my hair starts to feel dry and i wet my hair 1-2x per wk (poo wash, co wash, or just water rinse)

pretty much, my hair is doing it thing. but my kitchen is like the mojave lol i dunno what to do to keep this mess moisturized. i mean its not my nape, my nape is good... just the 2 side pieces of my kitchen. my cocoa puffs lmao
 
:lachen: I have those two pieces too. Back in that very brief era when I partied/went clubbing, I knew it was time to go home whenever those two pieces would poof up, :lol:.

yup, that's exactly it :lachen: that's how i knew to go home too.

i remember once i had flat ironed my hair and wore it in a side pony at the club. my puffs came out but the rest of my pony hadnt reverted yet. then from behind me i heard this black dude talking about my hair to a bunch of white girls. he was like "see, that's how you can tell when their hair is fake. when the pony tail is silky smooth and the rest is nappy you can tell" and they all started laughing.

so i took my hair tie, took my hand and shook up my hair a bit and walked over to them. i grabbed the guys hand and shoved it in my hair to my scalp and said "does this feel fake to you?" then i looked at the white girls and said "dont listen to this lame dude, he'll get your a$$ kicked by teaching you the wrong thing" then i looked back and dude and said "I bet you wish you could find a b!tch with NAPPY hair like mine" then i walked away cracking the hell up

it was the high light of my night since i was DD and was having a crappy nite
 
Mz.MoMo, I wish I was there to have seen his face lol. That's the best story I've heard in a while about hair.

Everyone's hair is so beautiful! I'll be stalking this thread :lol:
 
i did my hair different today and i really liked it. i wore it in a poofy side pony with my front (bang area but i dont have bangs) in a corn row (i really have to work on braiding lol) and a little flower... :) made me smile lol

you're a member there?!?!? i didnt know that!

forgive me for being slow but i didnt know they had any black members :blush: i feel silly for thinking that now lol
 
... forgive me for being slow but i didnt know they had any black members ...

There's a few, including some from our thread here. I lurk, but haven't posted.

One thing that always makes me chuckle is that people with curly hair there usually define their length as it is curly, as opposed to straightened/stretched the way we do here... by those standards, I will never, ever have "long" hair, :lol:.

Hello ladies,


I want to join in on the part II of this challenge. I have three layers going on. My front is APL, My crown in back and sides is waist and the lower layer of the back of my head is hip length. I went some years now not being very kind to my hair the way I should have so I am back on track to, try to grow out the uneven hair, strengthen the total volume and than continue on my growing a nice head of hair. At least to obtain most of the hair to a nice classic if that will be possible.

I am returning to the regemin in my signature with commitment.
Here is a photo from today. Its in braids and you can clearly see the difference in the top and bottom braids.:blush:
