End of Summer '08 Waist Length Challenge!!

omg ladies. silver lotus and onejamifan your hair is BEAUTIFUL! i'm drooling on my computer.

sorry i had to drop out of this challenge. my ends needed major attention. hopefully i'll be there next year.
 
I am totally out. Hopefully I will make it by Dec. Congrats to all the beautiful heads that reached their goals. And to the ones that didnt lets keep pushing till we make it.
 
Hey ladies, went ahead and relaxed as I couldn't take all the ng. Eventhough maternity has rendered my waistline nearly invisible, I am using my elbows as a guideline and I'm happy to say it looks like I am WL :grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:

Unfortunately, my ends are looking pretty thin and ragged, IMO, so I will probably be getting a trim of a couple of inches come December :) Hope everyone is doing well and happy hair growing!!!!

Congrats, your hair looks WSL to me! Very healthy & thick.

I think we are all getting anxious to trim. As for me, I know I need to take a couple inches off... so I will be doing that in Sept. IDK if I'm still gonna be WSL after the trim but we'll see. I fell off with my hair care these past few weeks but I'm getting back on track. My hair is really dry, probably due to my a/c being on 24/7.

Congrats on reaching WL!!! :congrats: Your length is amazing!!! Onejamifan your hair is gorgeous...it doesn't look thin at all. Both of you ladies are truly an inspiration for me to keep pressing on!:yep:

congratulations on making WSL Onejamifan
:band2::dance7::congrats:
 
Congrats to all the ladies that have made it!! I really dont think I will make it by the end of September..maybe December...I am gonna keep the faith that I will get close at least.
 
I am on pace to hit waist on exactly Sept 22nd (first day of fall) I know that is funny but I am an inch away. The bottom of my hair should touch. So I wont add any more photos until then. I want to be shocked. If I don't make it then my ultimate goal is on Election Day to make it.
 
I am about 2-3 inches from my natural waist after my latest trim. I doubt if I will make it by Sept but I am still happy and I know I will hit it by the end of this year. :yep: I still plan on posting my pics at the end of the challenge. Q
 
WL is not happening for me this year (I don't think) but I'll be very happy with MBL:yep:!

Girl I am in the same boat. Hoping I see MBL December 08. This slow growing has taught me a thing or two about patience and just letting the hair do what it do and being satisfied that it is closer today than it was yesterday. :yep:
 
Hi ladies, I'm switching from participant to cheerleader! :grin:

I don't think I will be making it by the end of this month. I'm protective styling until around Thanksgiving to focus on my ends and overall health of my hair. Hopefully I will be near or at WL by then.

CONGRATS to all those who are already WL, and those who will be quite soon!
 
I will not be successfully completing this challenge. My hair is actually shorter now than when I started :lachen:. Before I was a good BSL now I in between APL and BSL (All pics are in my Fotki).I had way too many trims. I have been afraid of getting split ends and straight OD’ed with trimming. I need another several months to a year to get to WL. I am not going to trim again unless there is a drastic need to and there shouldn’t be since I rarely use heat and protective style most of the time. Oh well :ohwell:.

I’m happy for those who did make it though :yep:. Congrats!
 
Looking great ladies!! Congrats to all who made it! :happydance: I didnt make it by this summer. I am sure I will be there at the end of this year or spring for sure of 09.

I agree.

I don't think I made my goal either but I will take pics without a shirt on and draw a line at my natural waist so see how far I got. This has been fun and I can't wait to see everyone's pics. Q

It has but I have a long torso but who knows, I may be closer than I think. I can't wait. :yay: At least I don't have the itch to cut it again anymore. :look: Q
 
Can't wait to see everyone's pics! I dunno if I'm gonna have mine up on time cuz I've been sick the past couple weeks. I barely feel like getting out of bed, let alone leaving the house to get my hair done. :ohwell: We'll see what happens.

Awww I'm sorry your sick. I hope you get better. I know your WL although I would still loooove to see your pics:grin:.

TEE IS WAISTLENGTH!!! DON'T BELIEVE HER Y'ALL!!! LOLOL

I know she is WL. Tee I know exactly how you feel.I feel the same way about my hair. My hair is at my waist but it doesn't seem long and since I have newgrowth I have to stretch it to show where it really lays. I wish my hair was heavy sometimes because of this. I think I will be truly satisfied if I grow my hair a couple more inches past WL.Not to mention I have a few layers that stop at the bottom of my bra strap. So its more thick there than at the bottom.I would have to cut off 3 inches to be realy satisfied with the thickness of my ends. I will prolly grow it 6 more months though and then cut it. I might just grow it to hip. Maybe it will feel long then:lachen:.
