End of Summer '08 Waist Length Challenge!!

mscocoface said:
Hi everyone, I don't think I will be making WL by end of summer. I had emergency sugery in January and it has knocked me for a loop. Needless to say all of the drugs and hospital stay and recovering has set back my hair growth.

The last time I had surgery which unfortunately was less than 2 years ago I had the same thing happen. It seemed as though my hair just did a "standstill" no growth or incredibly slow growth.

Chemicals of any kind just are not friendly to my hair or my system. I am going to go back to MBL challenge for end of year and see where I am. I have been truly frustrated but I am still keeping on and trying to stay positive and maintaining a hair regimen that I can handle since the surgery.


I have found a regimen that I can maintain now so I am just going to stay with this for now. I am getting a lot more hair just not getting growth. Thickness is not what I needed but I will take it. It still shows progress.

Who knows maybe I will get a growth spurt and be able to jump back in, but I knew it would be a stretch so it is still all good.

Best wishes for all of you ladies, I am still going to play cheerleader and root all of you on who are still in the challenge.

Go ladies.

Thats the good part. I think you might get a spurt of growth though. Your hair is so pretty and shiny. Darn it next time I'm putting my flash on to capture the little shine my hair does show :look:

I am cheering you all on all the way to the finish line or WL line as it were.

I am not sad, disappointed but as long as I am on the road to better health and my hair didn't fall out or have major breakage. I really can't complain.

Just grateful, because things could have been worse. So I am blessed and thankful.

Now grow ladies grow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:yep:
 
I can't say for sure whether i will make waistlength by end of summer, i'm keeping my hair braided and using my growth products. i reckon i need at least 4-5 inches, and i have five months to do it, the 1st sept is my touch-up day. i'm wondering if i should drop out

Thanks. I think I will go back to wearing it up more.
 
I'm not sure if I will make it, but I'm going to keep at it. I think I have about 4.5 inches to go.

I'm sorry to hear about your surgery. God bless you and I hope you have a fast recovery.

Is everyone about ready to post those pics this Sunday? I'll forewarn everyone, I probably won't have my hair straight, as I'm still doing protective styles and low manipulation while I'm on the challenge.

I am doing this too so I dont plan on straightening my hair just for the pic plus I have shrinkage from being almost 9 weeks post. I was thinking about doing a wet hair shot...I will figure it out.
 
Tenjoy, you are SO close!

I'm supposed to be getting my hair done this weekend, but if not I have some straight pics from my relaxer last month that I can show ya'll. I can't wait to see everyone's pics!

Caribbean I don't have a pic but WL is at the smallest part of your waist, where your torso indents. it should be somewhere around your belly button or maybe an inch above.

here is the chart thats shows WL.
 
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


 
Ok this is a quick pic. I just took out my kinky twist over the past few days, it doesn't seem like i got much length. I think i need 5 inches or so to be right above my naval, i don't know if im gonna make it, i will post again when i get my hair straighten
