Well... turning out well is relative. I'm not saying I made it out unscathed. I'm sure I lost some hair. Not as much as I could've if I would've just got frustrated and grabbed the scissors.I'm going to texlax sometime next week so I'll really be able to assess the damage then. But, since my hair is layered and I'm trying tro grow out the layers, I'm not going to worry about it. There's a lot of year left in 2011. Better sooner than later I suppose. I just learned that I'm not ready to handle natural hair yet. My decision on whether to texlax, continue stretching or transition has been made. Dang. Did the answer have to come with such drama?
I was planning 6 months and made it to 7.5. I knew a year was a stretch but, I was gonna try it. I tried. So...How do you handle the matting?
This is my ponytail right now, why do I feel like it is taking forever to make Waistlength. I just made MBL in December, it hasn't even been that long. I am so impatient for growth. Oh well, just gonna keep looking at you ladies lovely hair and dreaming I will get there eventually. Here is a pic of my ponytail...
Oh hair anorexia... you have claimed yet another victim
NikkiGirl your hair is absolutely gorgeous! When I rollerset my hair and just brush it out (no flatiron at the ends) my hair does that pretty curl twist at the ends. Makes me wanna rollerset my hair right now! I also straighten my hair sometimes to take a break. I love my curls, I really do.. but wetting my hair every day and styling can be a pain. I have LOTS of thick hair. I haven't straightened my hair since January and I don't really miss it. I will probably rollerset tomorrow. I need to dye my grays too.
Sort of like long lost lovers
Hi Ladies,
I want to get in on this challenge.. I have a two layer thing going on. My rear crown area is just short of waist length. So that is the layer I am working toward hip. My bottom layer is just short of hip. So I want to nurture that layer while it awaits the rest of my hair
So tonight I am doing an over night moisture pack on the top layer and will cw tommorrow. I have two types of hair and cannot use the same routine on the on section as the other. Probably why I ended up like this. What was good for one was just not enough for the other.

I am seeing lots of beautiful heads of hair here. That should keep me diligent and inspirered.

@nakialovesshoesDon't use Bigen. I've seen way too many people have set-backs with that product. My mom's hair has thinned out because of it.
I use Tints of Nature and you can get it at either Vitamin Shoppe or Whole Foods. Its a bit expensive (anywhere from $15-$19 a box) but so far it does the work and it seems less harsh than the hair dye kits from CVS.
BTW lurk all you want. Two years ago most of us were APL or even less and we've all encouraged each other from other challenges. Hip length is definitely attainable!
Thanks so much for this recommendation. I'm going to try it soon. And thanks for the encouragement. I'm in the midst of a small setback - but I've decided to return to what really worked for my hair so HL is def in my future. Wait is HL the same as tramp stamp length? My goal is to have my hair touch/cover my tramp stamp.
Hysterical!!!! I say we change the name of this challenge to "Tramp Stamp 2011! Let's do this!"

Oh! My bad. I could've sworn you said something about posting a pic when you're done, or...???
ago. I'm so not in the mood to go under the dryer. I'll have to go to sleep like The Matrix all scrunched up and sh** because I ain't going under the Pibbs tonight.
