Hip Length 2011!! Let's do this!!

My Starting picture is in my Siggy. I took it December 17th. Right now Ive got my hair braided in individuals, no hair added. Trying not to take them out before the 27th. Thats going to be so hard.
 
Hi please add me to the challenge. I'm currently at #6 on my length t-shirt (siggy needs updating). Realistically I'll be lucky to make WL by Dec. but it doesn't hurt to dream big. hhj

I'm going to subscribe to this thread and lurk. I reached WL and I'm not so sure I like it. I don't know if I want to be HL because my hair is so thin I think it needs layers and shorter lengths to look thicker. However, I love to check out the hair porn on this thread with the thick, long haired gals. Who knows, maybe I'll change my mind.




Ooh - Maria - I might have to try this. I remember when you used to henna/indigo. Do you still do that? Is this better for you? I couldn't find the time to do the process with henna or henna/indigo. I need a good color from a box.

ETA: Do you use the semi-permanant or permanant?

Your hair is beautiful. I hope you change your mind and want to join the challenge with us.

I use the permanent. With all these grays I can't be fooling around with no semi-anything! LOL I stopped the henna only because it dries out my hair. I didn't mind the treatment, but I prefer the Amla treatments instead. It would take me 6 hours to henna and then an addition hour of Indigo. I just don't have that kind of time or patience.

It will pay off, you can do it! :)
If you're worried about appearance or fuzziness, wear headbands or scarfs to hide it for as long as you can.
 
Hmmmm Let's check in every 3 months.... So April 1 will be our next check in.
I really should have planned this out better...
I still havent put up my january pics...

Sounds good to me that lines up almost with TL Crakin challenge updates so I can do 1 set of pics for both.
 
That's good for me. I want to limit my heat use to 3 or 4 times a year so that would be perfect. My hair is starting to feel back to normal since the henna. It is coarser (in a good way) and feels stronger. I may henna again I haven't decided. But it definitely won't be for a month or 2.

I'll check in Apr 1-I'll just pull a strand straight & take a pic. I'll straighten in May and will post a new pic then. My most recent pic is in my profile/avatar (taken 12/12). HHG!
 
Hi ladies!!! I'm in the process of straightening for my length check...let me tell you...i blowdried for the first time in a long time, and I used the tension method. I gotta testify. That tension method is the truth! These are the best blowdry results i've ever had....even tho it's not that great, I'm happy about it! I had to share:

Girl you may already be hip length if this is what your blow dryed hair looks like. I never get good results from the tension method. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Thank you, I'm hoping it will. I'm going to do my best to keep it braided up letting it rest like 3 days everytime I take it out.

The frizz is surely what is bothering me, I have redone the front once already and I beliebe I'm going to do it again. My haie never could last longer than a week or so in braids, but I want to retain as much length as I can. Plus since my hair is curly I have to wear my braids in a bun so my ends dont unravel that much.

You've got beautiful hair and its so long :)
