Alot of people assume wl is where the belt is but thats not the case. Do you know how old people wear their pants on their real waist? Well people today hardly do that anymore(except the high waist pants style thats in). So I could see how peeps get throwed off by that. My pants come a little above my hips. So I think most of the chicks who are claiming WL down there are actually REALLY close to HL if not there. You can feel your hip bone if you don't believe me
. My mom is a seamstress/nurse and I always remember her measuring the smallest part of my torso for my waist.
Ok! If I waited til my hair hits my belt, I'd be hip or maybe even past it.The last time I wore pants at my waist, I was 12 or so

Thank you very much for that encouragement.
I'll try to update tomorrow if my hair and the weather allow me to

I think it's possible Queeny that you could have 7 inches until waist length. I have a T-shirt too and I'm 5'8". I'm BSL at 10. I will be MBL at 13. I estimate I would be waist length at about 16....so WL is another 6 inches for me beyond BSL at 10. You're an inch taller than me, which may or may not make a difference, but 7 inches could be possible.

I am far from WL and a challenge dropout but I thought I'd post my "reveal" pic anyway. I went wrong with too much flat ironing 
. I'm going to get a good trim and try to minimize direct heat for the rest of the year.

I almost forgot about the reveal!! Thanks for the reminder Mariposa!
I am so happy to see everyone is doing so well-even reaching WL waaay before the end of Sept!
Don't forget to cheer us on later!
Please excuse my photo. I know it's kinda bad with the flash, lovehandles, etc. My hair is currently braided up so it was the most recent straightened pic I could find. My question to you guys: Is where I drew the line my waist? I'm still confused about where exactly is one's waist. It seems like it's different on everyone.

I'm not in this challenge, but I'd like to say congratulations to all of you ladies. The pics I have seen in this 'reveal' show healthy, long hair. You've all made great progress, and the 'reveal' serves as inspiration for those, like me, who are not yet at MBL or WL, but are on their way
WELL DONE :Rose:

Whoa Queeny look at that cottony goodness! Great progress.Okay so I had dh take a pic but the first one is up close and doesn't show the top of my head to prove I am not leaning back. Plus I think my arms were folded. The second one shows the top but not all of the bottom and I relaxed my arms. It appears I am a 9-9.5 on the progress in inches shirt so I gained about an inch since I took my FOTM pics in late January early February. I have 12 weeks until my anniversary to step it up and get some good growth. I think I will with the weather being warmer. Q
All the ladies in this thread have beautiful hair.

Here are mine..I'm not sure I will be there by the end of summer, since my hair grows so slow--but I will make it by the end of the year
The first pic is from nov...the second pic is from monday
Congrats to all the WL '08 ladies.....There is some beautiful hair up in here
Kbnax - your hair just gave me some MAJOR inspiration. Great job! My hair is a lil longer than your 1st photo. You got all that length in 5 mos?? Are you using growth aids? Are you a comber? Sorry for all the questions.

Hi,
Thank u
!No I don't use any growth aids and yes I comb maybe 2-3x a week. My hair actually grows really slow. I probably get maybe a .25 inch a month. I was 1.5 month post in the 1st pic, so maybe that's why it looks longer--I don't know. Also, for some reason, in all my pics..my hair looks longer/better against my back than against my shirt
