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

Ms Lala said:
I am nowhere near hip length and am still debating if I really want to grow my hair that long. I have had so much hair drama lately. I keep wanting to do a major cut to be quite honest. I'll be happy if I'm still at waist at this length check because I need a major trim. I may not even post. I don't know if it's my hair or me, maybe I'm just tired and need a hair break. I may put some small twists in and just leave it alone for a while.

Ms Lala Your hair is gorgeous! and you're almost there (I was just stalking your Fotki) I think you should go for it.

BTW did you ever win biggest fro on Nappturality?
 
I don't think I'm anywhere near HL, when I pull my hair down it's about MBL, I've had a couple fo setbacks so I'm hoping I even make HL by the end of the year :ohwell: I've been keeping my hair in protective styles, not too anxious to do the length check though, guess I don't want to be disappointed :nono:

Thanks!!! and no I didn't win on Nappturality. I didn't even see where they announced the winner. It was all in fun anyway. I guess I need to update my fotki hugh.
 
I am definitely no where near Hip Length. I am getting very close to Waist Length, though. I don't think I will make it by April (waist). I think I may make it by May. I will most likely wait and do a length check. I really don't know though. I just dont want to straighten too often. But we will see. I hope everyone else is doing well and looking forward to everyone meeting their goals and then some.

@kami11213 in your avatar your hair looks past WL. Did you cut your hair since then?

Don't worry about that. When I joined the Hip Length challenge in 2010 I was just MBL but I joined anyway. It helped inspire me and keep going. Some of us that didn't make it last year just joined this challenge in 2011.

I've had my hair in a bun for almost 2 weeks now (washed & DC every 7 days). I just take the bun apart in the morning, spray a mixture of conditioner+water on my ends, put it back in a bun and slap on some gel in the front so I don't get the frizzies. I might rollerset tomorrow night and leave it in a bun again. I haven't detangled my hair in days since its been in a protective style so I have to be careful.

Looking forward to the April reveal! :drunk:

Love the bun.....



Happy Hair Growing!
 
Well.....i just straightened my hair so I could get my trim tomorrow.

I think I want to do more than trim. I gained about an inch from the length in my current avatar (taken in january). When pulled straight back then my hair was juuuuust above the indents at the bottom of my back, and now it's just under the indents.

My ends look a little too raggedy for my liking and I'm glad I never wear my hair straight. I'm definitely over the layers...but I'm not cutting all the way up to the shortest layer to even things out, no way.

I'm coloring tomorrow too. YIPPEEE

Thanks. so much?! I'm gunna have him trim all the layers and the back/longest layer is getting about an inch off.
I think it needs it. and that's not much. my last cut was back in sept and that was a lot IMO

Edited to add: WHEN ARE WE GUNNA SEE YOUR LENGTH CHECK MISS THIGH LENGTH?!
 
Hey ladies. Don't think I've posted in here since my subscription ran out in February. My hair is fine and I'm excited to say it's getting much easier to handle now. I was able to wash in 2 sections and damp bun last night. YAAAYYY! Hopefully that means wash days will never take anywhere near an hour in the shower again.

ETA: Doesn't matter. Decided to cut:yep:

Can't wait til the length checks. Yeeaaahhh booooyyyyyy! (gotta say it like grandpa from boondocks) Whimsy, I literally imagined that your hair was on my head:spinning: That's what the crazy people do huh? Probably gonna start sniffing your brushes soon.....:look:

Whimsy, your hair is so so close to Hip Length, but even if you trim an inch you will be right back there in a couple of months. But it looks healthy to me! And it is so so long. Sorry, I don't know how to do the @ thing yet. Gotta figure that out.

I don't see why you need to cut. It looks good.
I just "straightened" and trimmed. My hair is still the same length (WL) post trim. I cut about an inch which is about right based on my typical hair growth rate. My last trim was Nov. I had breakage from the henna and my ends were so raggedy.
 
Whimsy gorgeous hair it's getting longer


Ladies we need an intervention Everyone challengers and supporters jump in
MzMoMo is actuall considering chopping her hair off pls check TL crakin thread too
 
Hey girls...well i guess the universe didn't want me getting my hurr did today..everything prevented me from getting where i needed to be, and then when i got to the salon mike was so backed up i told him i'd just come back next saturday.

I did a dusting instead (my very first dusting on my own w/o my hair in like 80 twists) and am happy with the bottom back bit, and the "freshness" of the layers...

I had to trim some areas because i saw some splits i didn't want them running amok, so I may ask Mike to do a more thorough trim for me next week or I may just get the color and bounce.

I haven't updated in here in a really long time. Not having a camera or a computer is a kiss of e-death. Anywho......I plan to do a henna & indigo on the coming days. I'm excited because I really want black hair! I'm tired of the reddish-brown that I'm working with now. The color seems really dull and lifeless to me.

Also, I'm really feeling like my hair is at a standstill right now. I'm feeling like I'll never attain WL let alone HL. IDK, I'll see how I feel after I make some changes. :shrug:

I got a camera for my birthday and just got a new laptop so I'm gonna do an update soon.
