Hi! I am a newcomer to LHCF who wants to say Thank YOU!!!

[beautifullyblessed]

Well I am not exactly a newcomer but a new subscriber. I have been lurking around here for over a year. After being inspired by a wig challenge thread I found on here, I decided to do my own wig challenge from April 2010 to April 2011. I just finished the challenge, and the results are posted below.

I am beyond well pleased with the results. I retained every inch of my hair and have gone from arm pit length to MBL in a year.

I just had to subscribe to be able to tell you ladies thank you for giving me the inspiration to do my first ever challenge! I am planning on doing a 6 month protective styling challenge starting in May to help get me closer to WL.

So, yeah. I just wanted to celebrate by telling you ladies thank you! Please continue to keep me encouraged.

Be blessed everyone!

Collar bone to MBL in a year? Congrats girl. Awesome progress.

 

[beautifullyblessed]

Thanks ladies!

PraisedBeauty, I meant APL and not Collarbone length. Sorry for the confusion. My hair was collarbone length when braided up. I wished my hair grow that fast. Thanks for pointing that out.

Oh lmbo. I was about to PM you for your secret!

 

[beautifullyblessed]

LOL, I don't blame you! But no secrets here...just low manipulation, moisture, and sealing. I retained about 6 inches of hair from this challenge.

Nice progress pics! And look at the baby's progress too!

 

[tmkersha]

Congrats! Your hair is amazing. I might have to try this wig thing foreal now.

 

[beautifullyblessed]

Aw, you ladies rock! Thanks for the continued support and encouragement.

Nice progress pics! And look at the baby's progress too!

Yes, her hair is getting so long! It is truly amazing seeing the difference in her hair although I thought it was cute that she had short hair a year ago.

Congrats! Your hair is amazing. I might have to try this wig thing foreal now.

The wig challenge has been pretty easy. It got boring at times but I did allow a couple of breaks where I wore my hair out in twists/buns to get me over the rut.

Beautiful hair!

Amazing growth retention, both you and the baby! Don't think I could hide away all the beautiful hair for another 6 months, but the results will be worth it

Congrats!!

It is going to be a challenge indeed because I am loving my hair right now but at least my hair wont be solely under a wig for the entire 6 months. I will be twisting and bunning for the next 6 months too. The results will definitely be worth it!
