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

Janet, I wouldn't be discouraged, your hair does look healthy and it will definitely get there. And looking at the bright side, now you know what hasn't been working for you, so you know what to tweak and your hair will thank you for it. I just know it. :yep: And it is still the beginning of the year. You will definitely get there. I am cheering you on also. :grin:

Awe. Now I feel guilty for pushing you. But, no need to kick yourself. You got a great plan out of the deal and plenty of time to baby your hair.

I've always loved the boldness of your hair color. And I'm glad you're going to give it the extra care it needs. I'm sure you'll be pleased with what this year brings. I'm cheering you on! :woohoo:

NikkiGirl, Thank you so very much!!! I just know that you will be WL when you flat iron!!! I cannot wait to see the pics! :yep::yep:
 
Janet,

I love your hair color. Yes, its good you realized things now. But as you said you did not damage or loose your hair so that is a big +++++.

Thinking I am that you will see great results to your dedication sooner than you think.:yep:
 
Hoping to get out of doing some running around today so that I can do a good DC w/heat while working from home. :pray:

Still trying to get back on track. I need to get back on track with my fitness goals too. My siggy is calling me out BIG time. No hiding beneath a towel (although I need to :look:)
 
@NJoy I hope you are doing ok. Sending you hugs and my deepest condolences.

Your hair looks amazing BTW. I still can't believe how FAST your hair is growing! I was just looking at your Jan 2010 picture... I was MBL back then and you were SL and somehow you were able to grow like 200 inches of hair in such a short amount of time and catch up with me! I'm super jealous LOL :drunk:

What do your family and friends say about your hair? They must be in awe

Mmm hmm. Now if I can get another hundred inches by June, I'd be satisfied. :grin:

Hubby is mad that I don't wear it out more. Says what's the use of having it if I don't show it. :rolleyes: My mom was always amazed but, I tried not to allow her to watch my hair grow, with her going thru chemo and losing her hair and all. I was trying to help her grow it back the first time around but, when the cancer came back, I started keeping my hair covered like she did.

Only a few family members at the funeral saw it out because I had it bunned due to the rainy weather. The last thing I needed was for that hair to go poof and I turn into Sasquatch. My daughters and their friends see my hair more frequently and are now on their own hhj. I tried to get them to start when I started but, they were weave queens and I was "doing too much". Now look at 'em. Walking around in PS and asking tons of questions. :grin:

I'm floored more than anyone tho. I don't get to see it out and dry often but when I do, I'm like :shocked:. I've never taken care of my own hair prior to lhcf or imagined that it could grow like this so, my hair and I now have an understanding. As long as I take care of it, I can expect it to grow.

I really didn't expect it to do much this quarter because I was barely doing anything to it. I did keep it in PS and moisturized tho. I don't think I got the length that I'm used to but the thickness has me blown away. Planning to focus on length thru June and then I can trim and coast from there.

Thanks for the love and support during these past few months. (Dang. That happened quickly. :sad:)
 
@NJoy, I prayed for you and your family and am sorry for your loss.

Your hair is absolutely amazing. I look at the progress that you have made over the last year and I am floored. I have resorted to begging my follicles to push out more hair. J/K

Continue to keep the pictures coming. You are truly an inspiration.

Thanks you. And most importantly, thank you for your prayers. The prayer support that we've received has been such an incredible blessing. I really don't know how I could have made it otherwise. Certainly not by my own strength.
 
NJoy I didn't know you had children. How old are your DD's?

My oldest DD is now really into her hair. She does Amla treatments, coconut oil rinses, DC's with steam, etc... Her hair looks very healthy now. She's not obsessed with length like I am. Probably cuz the "shortest" it's ever been is BSL. Her longest is Tailbone.

Girl, you just gonna call me straight out like that, huh? :nono: Ok, I have 5 kids (4 girls and a boy). Starting with the oldest: 21,19,15,10 and my son is 4. :yep:
 
Okay ladies, so I did a length check. I am really excited. I am seeing some growth. My hair is no where near hip length, but my short term is waist. So really happy about that. I will be posting the pics in a sec.
 
So here is my March length check. I am super duper excited and I think I am going to put my hair back up next week and kill it in the gym and keep taking my protein shakes.

I am so close to waistlength. I think I need like half an inch. My waist is at my elbows. Yay!!! Tell me what you ladies think. I appreciate the feedback.

Whoa! I hope to have have a body like that after 5 kids!! I'll take your hair too! Love your update in your siggy. It looks very healthy and HL is right around the corner.

I will continue to pray for you and your family after your recent loss. I lost my mom to illness as well so I can relate in some ways. :bighug:
 
^^^ It is curled. But I use to have a shoulder length angled cut and the layers were long and angled and it still really is that way without being curled. And thanks so much. I am happy it is growing!!!
 
@NikkiGirl I believe you're already waist length. Your hair is curled a little at the bottom so I know that if I pull the ends it'll be right at WL. Congratulations! woot woot!

@NJoy girl I thought you were like 25 years old LOL
My kids are 21, 19, and 12. (girl, boy, girl)
 
@NikiGirl Fabulous progress! Your hair is looking awesome!:yep:

@NJoy Your hair is still doing amazing things! Great progress! The thickness is awesome!:yep:

janet Your hair is progressing nicely and that color is very striking! Great progress!:yep:
