End of Summer '08 Waist Length Challenge!!

My hair is midback now. If I dont make by Sept I am hoping for Dec. 08 at the latest. Just checking in. :)
 
how's everybody doing? I'm in week 8 of my stretch and my hair is so dry from the cold weather. i'm kind of worried i won't have much progress when i relax in dec. :(
 
I'm hoping to make in midback january 08. If your already midback you should make it too wl in sept. What are you leaving room for error?

I plan to get a good trim in Jan. I do not expect to get more than an inch removed. So I guess I can have a true goal date by Jan.

Are you moisturizing? I think you will still have progress in Dec. What is your longest stretch period and how many weeks post will you be in Dec.? You will need to really pay attention to your new growth and keep it extra moisturized. (and watch out for those tangles.)
 
I got a touch up on monday. As you ladies know, I gave myself a little cut a few weeks ago. I dont plan on doing anymore cutting until march/april (the earliest.)

That's right. Put the sissicors down. :lol: I love your hair. The cut you did looks good.
 
Is it too late to get in on this challenge? WL is my ultimate goal, and although I don't think I will make it by Sept, nothing ventured nothing gained, and would love some support!

Nope, it's not too late! Welcome to the challenge. We're all supposed to post midpoint pics in April. HHG!

Oops, I missed this post. I usually stretch 12-13 weeks. I'll be at 14 weeks in Dec b/c that's the earliest my school schedule will allow me to relax.

I'm gonna start using more moisturizer in the mornings & add oil to my d/cs to combat the weather. I think I've gotten lazy recently but I'm back on track now. :yep:

Sounds good. Glad you back on track. I got a little laxed with the deep conditioning but I am back on it again also.

*The exta moisturizing will will help. The oil added to the DCs are a HUGE bonus!!

I didn't see this. I think i'm 6weeks post today or at least. I'm still wet bunning.It's helping to keep it from getting dry. I'm going to attempt a rollerset later this week I'm going to a concert with dh.Hopefully I don't break any hair(I'm scared of a lot of manipulation).
 
I think I might have seen a challenge like this but I'm not sure.The search future thingy isn't working for me.But anyways I'm on a mission to grow my hair to waist length by the end of summer and I really don't want to go at it alone:nono:. I was wondering if there are some chicas who would like to join me. There are no rules ,this is really your own challenge for yourself....just with me:grin:.At the end of summer I would like to see proof that you made it. Meaning I want to see pictures yall.Thats the only requirement. Who is with me?:circle:

***PS:Ladies you can do it. It's scary for me too as long as we got each others back. And please If one of you guys end up getting into a situation where you feel like to you have to do something like pull out the scissors, stop where you are and come consult us first. I think it could really help prevent set backs and keep everyone on track.***

Here is the list of te girls who will be rockin' waist length in summer '08:

Hey I added you guys! HHG!
 
Hey ladies,
Just checking in. I'm at 18 weeks post and still hanging in there. I'm trying to pack up all my moisturizing products to take with me to Iraq, so my hair won't dry out and break off. I lost progress there before, so this time I'm prepared. I can't wait until the end of summer when we are all waist length!! HHG!!

Please be safe on your travels to Iraq...

I am at 13 weeks and I cant take it anymore!! I was going for a 20 week stretch but I just dont have the will power to deal with it. Plus I am starting to realize that stretching past a certain point causes me to have too much shedding and breakage. I think I am gonna break down and relax this weekend and do a trim. Hopefully this wont set me back too far.
 
End of my first protective style of this challenge it was a weave put in the 10/7 til 11/11 I'll do he second one on wednesday (braids with extensions) and keep it til 12/23.
My schedule from october 07 til april 08 since the beginning of this challenge was 5 protective styles! So I have 4 more to go!

Be safe in Iraq! That's right, back up on your products before time.

Marie you will have to post an update. I can't make it 20 weeks on a stretch either. My last one was 14 weeks but the shedding and tangles were getting unreal. :nono:

*Love the siggy pic.:yep:
