well i'm glad i'm finally able to sit with out having sore behind lmao


brg240 you're hair looks great and is making me miss my hair.... the ends i chopped off are still in my bathroom trash (its the only think in there right now) and i cant help but to stare at it every time i go potty (sorry if tmi lol) and your siggy cracks me the h*ll up!!! its what i think too!!!
 
:hiya: Ladies!!! Just checking in...I'm not normally a bandwagon person, but I was looking for a new hair, skin, and nail vitamin so Nioxin is what I chose...I'm hoping for at least reinforced growth...we'll see!
 
Just had a major detangling session and the sheds/broken hairs left in the aftermath makes me wonder if I'm b@ld. I don't even want to know. :nono: Yep, it really is time to end this stretch. I'm just too lazy to deal with this much ng.
 
i've been wearing my hair straight since the cut... its been easy for me.

if it wasnt for the fear of heat damage and messing up my ends or the laziness of not wanting to do a roller set, i'd wear my hair straight all the time. i bet my retention would be even better!!!
 
@brg240 your hair is gorgeous and it doesn't look even remotely close to being thin
thanks so much, i really just meant the ends. In the braid i purposely fluffed out the bottom because other wise the braid gets really small.

thank you, i think your hair looks great too.
lol. I want to cut them off. I keep holding them and thinking I can't wait for you to be gone but cutting them would put me right at bsl and i don't want that.
and i know it's too true. :nono::lol:

lol I know i've

Your hair looks great. congrats on reaching Hip length!! Guess you will just have to slide on over to the Tail length challenge. That is an order:yep:
 
brg240 your hair doesn't look thin at all, I love your ponytail

thanks, maybe i'm just hyperaware about it since I see it everyday.

I was thinking of it but I will most likely trim up to wl in june and I don't think i'll reach tl by december if I do.

*peeks out to say "but why? Your hair is beautiful. And up to wl is not a trim." And takes cover again. Anticipating the reaction of others*

I am ordering you to not look at any more post and to run over to TL Challenge. Don't want to hear about thin ends or trim or nothing just take that beautiful hair right over to the tailbone challenge NOW!
 
I'm lovin everyone's length checks!

Just wanted you ladies to know that I won't be posting any length checks because I'm not chasing a length anymore. I've been maintaining mbl since Thanksgiving to gradually get rid of my relaxed ends. I remember Mook saying that transitioning is much easier when you trim instead of trying to retain, so that's what I'm doing. I have about 18 months left of maintaining this length, unless I get a growth spurt or decide to chop.

So good luck ladies. I'm still going to be here participating and rooting for you on the side lines.....and searching for hair porn with no shame:yep:
 
Well I will check in. Its hard to show layers progress in photo's so I will report that my upper canopy longest was 25 to 26 inches in Jan. That is just past waist for me. My recent measurement of canopy hair longest is 26 to 28 inches. That is That is just at hip for me. There are still other shorter layers in the canopy and I will continue on this challenge until my shortest past hip. A while from now.

Now to keep things protected and moving along to catch up with the lonely longest ends. :yep:

My canopy is my 4a hair and it is so delicate and the hardest to keep moistured. It also seems that that was hit hardest with the shedding.

Also reporting that there are no splits to report. The shorter hairs are my biggest concern keeping them soft and with slip to prevent them from wrapping around there longer siblings.

If the improvement is noticable on film I will post a photo in May. I finally learned how to post a photo in the thread. Yes I am slow.

Keep growing every one:yep:

Thanks to Lita and Candy,

My braid regimine is coming along. I took some tips from The tightly curly lady Terry also, however I was not doing the curl separating thing.

So thank you for the help. Detangle is so easy now I wonder sometimes if I am forgetting anything when I am done so fast with my hair.

I washed and conditioned my braids last night and that was it. I may let them out today or go til tomorrow to do a detangling. Then I will wash in another two days.
 
GUess what Ladies.... DRUM ROLL

After 9 and a half months A sister GOT HER RELAXER :woohoo: :woohoo:

I also got a cut. So I am no longer past waist. I am MBL, which is fine with me. I have a nice cut and can't wait to post some pics.

I am super excited, but most likely won't make HL this year which is Okay with me. I don't really know if I want that right now.

I am still staying in this challenge. Don't know how much further for WL or HL right now as my hair is still wrapped up in a doobie :)

I am very excited :)

I won't be able to take pictures until I break down my doobie :grin: then have the Mr. Take some flicks :grin:

It just feels so good to have a fresh cut :)

I cut it to keep it sharp, My stylist didn't have an appt. until next month. So I used my local stylist to do it all.
