Hip Length Challenge 2010

Boston Maria, I wouldn't set a pinkie toe into a salon, if I were you. But of course, I'm not you :lol: so do what you feel will be best for you. :yep:

I wore my hair is a pretty braidout yesterday and today. It felt great to have that big curly ponytail. Even though it was a high pony, it hung down just barely avoiding scraping my clothes. Gotta protect those precious ends lol

Tonight I went through my hair and moisturized with Aussie Deep 3 min, then braided it up in fat Celie braids to let it dry overnight. I think my braidouts come out best when the braids are large. Checking my length I can say I'm comfortably Waist Length baby!!! :yay: :yay: :yay: Next stop, Hip Length! :gorgeous:

I bought a new hair doohickey (that's the technical term :wink2: ) tonight. I was grumping to DH that I'm too clumsy and feeble to do twists. He reminded me of the Igia Twist a Braid I used to have. It turns out that I don't have it anymore, but I did find a similar tool online that makes 2 strand twists! :yay: So maybe I can start doing some twists and twistouts. I will keep you ladies posted on how they turn out. :yep:

Hello ladies,
I'm debating on whether I should go to the salon for our March length check. I am going back and forth on the idea.

Um, that's a little risky....no, let me rephrase: you better not go to a salon!
Especially when we all know you can do just as good a job, if not better.
And you won't "trim" 6 inches of hair off.

I just don't want you to have a :wallbash::wallbash: moment. :grin:

You ladies have convinced me to keep my $$$$ and do my hair at home

Yeah we didn't want to have to have a hair tragedy happen to you. Your doing better with your hair DIY than any stylist could, really the hemline looks even and professional. Keep it up.

BTW Who's co-washing daily?

Wow I have missed a lot! Sorry I've been away so long.... It's been busy for me. I too am looking forward to the length check coming up! I don't quite know where I am yet. I want to be surprised either way.

I would love to go to the meet up in New York. But sorry to say ladies, I am now working in Asia. So this thread will be my life line to "English" speaking women who share the same goals as I do.

I have a question.... Did anyone use to watch Leobodyc5 videos? She was such an inspiration. Does anyone know what happen to her? Her videos are no longer on Youtube....

Me too. I was like no way I was just stalking j/k.I mean checking out her channel today :lol:
Her goal is classic length straight, now that's an ultimate hair goal.
We'll see how this HL challenge goes, I might like to tackle TL/CL, that would sure take care of shrinkage and hair-anorexia

I don't co-wash daily in the winter, only spring and summer. As soon as Boston temperature hits 70 it's back to wet ponytails.

Any naturals here straighten in the summer? That look will last a total of 5 seconds for me LOL

Anytime I straighten, it looks like fur within minutes! That's the main reason I don't. :nono:

I straighten in the summer on occassion, but that's because I live in a pretty dry climate. I tried that mess in DC . . . :nono:

Thank you so much!:yep: YT must have been down for maintenance! I was very upset!:angry2: Now everything is ok!:woot:

Yes her hair is FIEEEEEEEERCE! If I get to tailbone length, then I'll shoot for classic... watching her videos always encourages me get to the next length level. Again, Thanks!

That's my goal length too. It has been since I first joined LHCF in 2006. Right now I am feeling optimistic that I can do it. :weird: The gelatin capsules that I've been taking are making my nails so much stronger it's ridiculous. I can see the line of demarcation in my nails, it's a different COLOR and everything. I need to purchase some more online today. But since gelatin is a building block for keratin, I'm pretty sure my hair will be stronger due to taking it.

Who knows, maybe once I get to classic, I'll still have hair anorexia. :look: I might have to shoot for thigh length lol. It's never enough :mwahahafire:
 
i think i would stop at tlb. i think after that i would actually think its too much hair lol. or maybe once i hit tlb i'll cut to hl to then grow a thicker tlb and just keep doing that lol

oh and i never co-wash daily. i tried and i just had too much shedding and breakage from manipulating my hair too much in such a fragile state.

in the winter i co-wash 1x per week and in the summer i go to 2x per week. my hair likes it :D

also, i dont usually wear my hair straight in the summer cause i like my wash and goes. but in the winter i did try a straight reggie which actually worked pretty well. i stopped out of laziness lol

What was your straight reggie??
 
I CWed today after my workout. I put my hair in 2 braids & sat under the dryer to remove excess moisture.Concerned about the breakage I saw:perplexed I will do another protein treatment this weekend. Hopefully that will help:ohwell:

I don't Cw daily in the winter..I hate a cold head :cold::freezing:

all i did was blow dry straight and then bunned. it cut down on tangles and breakage on wash days. but once the weather started warming up again i could get away with my curlies and little breakage. i did it from mid oct to begining/mid dec.

That was always my problem too, no matter what I tried - even when my hair was relaxed! But the combination of Maxiglide and Sabino Moisture Block was un-frizzable for a good four days the last two times I straightened. The true test will be trying it in the summer.

Wow, that's awesome!
Does Sabino Moisture Block work with rollersets?
(not that I do them, but I would be hopeful :yep: )
