I am giving my hair a little break. It's been in a curly ponytail for 3 days. Today i will pre-poo with Vatika Frosting, tomorrow morning I will DC under my steamer and bun till Thurs. I might go to my in-laws for New Years Eve. If I do, I'll rollerset Friday morning and leave my hair down.
I love the fact that in the winter I can rollerset and not have to flatiron. My hair doesn't revert nor does it poof up easily. In the spring forgetaboutit.

Hey Honey! I know, have gotten kinda bored with my hair
trying to get back on track though. I've just been super lazy.... I think I will do a protein treatment today and air dry then rock a wig for the rest of the week. How are things with you?

Hey ladies! So I may be dropping out of this challenge. I've been doing a long term transition to natural for the past 18 months and just made my end of the year goal of MBL. I planned on being WL around May or June and grazing HL by Dec 2011, but I'm thinking of doing the BC in Jan. I straightened for Christmas but wasn't liking how thin my relaxed ends felt in comparison to my thick natural hair...so, I got a big urge to cut it and I did! I didn't cut it all over just the ends so I really don't know how much I took off but it's around 6 inches. I believe I'm between APL and BSL now. I'll be cheering you ladies on from the sidelines though!!

LOL Thanks Janet!! Trust me I'll be posting pics soon. Trying to get to it tonight!!
Cuz I was SHO gonna ask.
I can't wait to see. BC'g at that length is great. I'm always so startled when it's cut too short. Go girl!

Why don't I check the boards before putting in an order anywhere? I just ordered more henna and indigo. So cassia is the move, huh?

LOL...thanks Njoy! I went ahead and made a progress pics thread, but here's a few pics of before and after:
First 2 pics were before:
Last 3 pics were after doing caruso rollers (it made my hair kinky straight), and cutting it:
ETA: By the way, does it look like I made MBL before I cut it?

Yes, I can definitely see the difference in the ends. But your hair looks great and so thick with you BC. I love it!
Thanks NJoy!!

I rarely wear my hair down and, Lord knows it feels like it's been a minute since I've washed my hair. I've just washed and am about to prep for bed but, am really enjoying the feel of my wet hair down my back. This is the point in my hj that my hair actually feels long. It felt heavier around bsl because I'd never been there but, it really feels long now. I'm happy with that. 
Hey ladies. Here's my end-of-the-year/beginning-of-the-year update: I finally took out my twist and washed today. I totally feel you guys on the end of the year lazies. i have just been too tired and too busy to deal with all this hair. I've had the twist in for like a month, and I only retwisted the top once. 
I won't be doing that again. I had more knots than I've seen in a while. And I think my hair missed the moisture. But I'm still going to try to figure out how to style my hair in ways that I can stretch it out because it is getting too long for me to be dealing with it on a weekly basis. It takes like 3 hrs to just put in the twists, not including washing and conditioning. Is that lazy?
I haven't done a henna treatment since the beginning of last year and my ends are starting to look like they need it, so sometime next month I want to do one.
I took pictures today of the stretched hair, and after a whole bunch of scientific analysis
I have determined that I'm a litte over an inch away from HL and 5 inches away from tailbone length at the longest layer. My top layer's at mbl. So hopefully I will make HL by March at this rate, and I want to do a good trim using Feye's method at that time.
Hope you guys are all enjoying the holidays and I can't wait to see those progress pics.

Beautiful!!
That's exactly how I felt, HoneyA. I just wanted to hit WL but when many in this group said they wanted to go on to TBL, I was like
. Even though I don't post too often, I really feel such a sense of community with all of you guys in this challenge, the HL 2010, WSL 2010 and Classic length challenges. And it's so fun. So if TBL is our next destination, then ALL ABOARD!

I know, there is a sense of community when you take part in challenges! Our hair is going to grow anyway so might as well see how far it can grow. I'm game for whatever
! Last night I was thinking I've been on the board 3 years and I'm WL and still growing. Who would have thought? Not me...

I am under my steamer right now. Yesterday I didn't get a chance to pre-poo with the Vatika Frosting so instead I added it to my conditioner. I mixed AOHR, Hairveda Moist, Crece Pelo and the VF into a jar and slathered it all over my hair. It smells delish! I'm going to steam for 30 minutes and then difuse. I'm going to leave it curly in a ponytail till Thursday.

In my case I have hair anorexia and when I hit WL the 1st time it didn't feel long enough to me ESP I had some long layers. I trimmed alot this past year cause of my mini setback so I'm still on the program for HL and beyond hair my ultimate goal is TL then well see.
