Hair Update: Puff & Straightened (PICS)

This thread is just to update on my hair progress. It's been a while since I've posted any hair updates aside from the one in my siggy. Wearing wigs and low manipulation has benefited my hair tremendously. I flatironed with my FHI after doing a ponytail rollerset. I applied Lacio Lacio, Chi Silk Infusion, and Beyond the Zone heat protectant when my hair was damp. I didn't apply any products after my hair had dried. As of now, I'm BSB/BSL and I was hoping that I could get some input on how much further I had to go until WSL. Without any further ado, here are the pics (since that's probably the reason you came into this thread anyway :look:)

My natural puff:

Rollerset hair. I sat under the dryer for about 20 minutes and slept on the rollers to airdry.

Hair length: (excuse the back fat ya'll, I'm working on it. I had to edit the side boob & dinner rolls :giggle:). How much further do I have until WSL? I'm thinking it's another 4-5 inches but with the summer growth spurt, a solid exercise & supplement regimen, and healthy eating I think I could probably make it at the end of the year, barring any setbacks. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make MBL. Plus, I have a short torso working in my favor :lol:

My growth rate (based on my shirt). The 1st pic was taken around March 28th, and the 2nd pic was taken May 8th (approx. 6 weeks and it appears that I've gotten about 1 in. or so of hair growth, based on the lines.

Your hair looks great. I definitely believe you can reach wsl by the end of this year. Good luck. :grin:
 
If you grow at .5" a month, you would need 10 months to get 5" to get to your WL.
That would push you to March 2011.
But like you said, a growth-spurt might just get you to WL by new years. Either way; good luck!
Your hair is pretty btw :yep:
 
why dont you just take a measuring tape and measure? it is hard to tell but definately under 5 inches. to me it looks like you need about 4 inches which i think is possible this year. if not, january/feb 2011 for full wl. i have 4 inches to go as well, there is still a lot of time left in the year. keep up the good work your hair is very pretty!
 
i have no idea, but damn, your hair looks really good!
i love those neat and even ends.
sorry i wasn't much help.

Beautiful hair! I think by the end of the yr is totally possible with a good growth (and maintenance) spurt (we've all seen it's possible on some members...Except me, bwahhh!)

i agree....i think you can make it...just keep up the low manipulation regi.:yep:
 
so do you use regular ponytail ties on your hair when its sectioned off?

No I tend to use rubberbands because elastics tend to hold water (my hair would never get dry where the ponytail holder was). This set turned out fairly smooth- it's a nice way to stretch your hair without heat :yep:
 
I'd say that if you maintain consistent growth and retain all of your length, it's definitely a possibility. Also, it depends on how much you grow per month. Like it was said before, 5 inches is 10 months if you grow the average 1/2 inch a month, but if you grow more than that you could probably reach that length within 5-8 months, making it a definite possibility of reach WL.

My hair growth rate for the past 4-5 months has been above average, at ~0.67-.75 or so. So if I retained my length, that would put in the neighborhood of 4.5-5.25 inches in 7 months. So it's possible, but I'll set my date to be at full WL for 04/17/11, which is my birthday :).

Oh and I borrowed my suitemate's tape measure and it's a little over 4.5 inches from where I am now until I reach WL
