Hip Length Challenge 2010

[testimony777]

Hi Ladies!

I have MIA for a while. Things have been really busy. But I have been trying to at least keep up with the thread even though I haven't posted much. I just finished updating the WL challenge so I figured this is a great time to make my March update here as well.

I have about an inch and a half of new length which means I actually grew a little bit more than a half an inch per month because I have dusted twice this year so far. My ends look thinner than they are in the pics because I am tugging them so much. But they are actually really healthy (and that is without a major trim for about a year). I am pleased with my progress; WL (and then HL) here I come .

ETA: I updated my siggy so the last pic is my original starting pic (just for comparison).

I have seen someone (on this board) w/gorgeous WL hair who did the BKT. She was very pleased with it. Her hair had me reconsider

here's my march update

almost to wl then on to hl

sorry about the quality, my camera phone is a douche and doesnt like me lol.

it appears i'm still on track to hit wl in may so i should be hl no later than oct'ish, hopefully sooner though

Here is my March update picture. The picture is dated March 20th because today is Saturday morning for me here in Asia... Anyway you can barely see the longest hairs are sticking out just past my fingers. I think I have a inch or a inch and a half to graze tailbone length....

Man, I wish I hadn't texlaxed a few years ago!!
I just flat ironed my hair for the first time in about 6 years and the relaxed ends are extremely super duper thin, but since I NEVER wear my hair straight, I'm keeping them for a while
If I cut, I'd be about APL.
Anywho, here are my update pics (after and a before). Maybe I can make full BSL with the thin ends touching HL by the end of the year.

Actually, I saw her gorgeous hair at the Boston meet up. She was pleased with her result. I think she used QOD Gold http://www.braziliankeratinproducts.com/category.sc?categoryId=10

I had a feeling this would happen, but I'm out of the challenge. I went to get my hair trimmed today, and my hairdresser took off 2 - 2.5 inches. I shouldn't have let her take off so much but I was being passive. Lesson hopefully learned. Next year. Good luck to everyone though.

I have a sample of QOD Gold, but I'm afraid to try it.
Maybe when I take these braids out that I'm going to try to keep in for 6 months. I wonder if BKT expires.

Here is a quick pic. It looks the same. I had a little shrinkage going on....as always but I didn't feel like stretching it lol. My dh trimmed about 1/2 inch off.

My hair is in a curly mess right now. I'm going to DC tonight and post pictures tomorrow. I'd do it today but I have 2 papers that are due tonight.

Great job ladies!!! Everyone's hair is beautiful! I'm not sure if I'm WSL, my guess is no but I'll be there soon.

I hope you are happy with the results of your cut at least.

Beautiful!!!!

I'm here and I'm ready to jump in the shower and wash my hair, rollerset, and all that jazz. Between work, school and life its just been a little hectic.

 

[LadyPaniolo]

OK ladies, took my update pic last night before bed. Sent DH to upload them onto the computer, and jumped on here all ready to post my pic.... only to find that he stupidly forgot to transfer them over onto MY computer so that I could post them. SMDH. So it'll be tonight that I'm able to post my pic.

I took it on dry stretched hair that did look appreciably longer, and it feels stronger due to my having stepped it up on the protein too.

 

[winnettag]

truequeen06 you are so grazing HL!

 

[Janet']

WOW LADIES!!!!

 

[MariposaSexyGirl]

Oh I meant to add this pic. It's a pic I took before my small trim. I was taking down my ponytail rollerset and flat ironed the roots. Still not much of a difference lol. Only pic I took before. But yall get the idea

 

[MariposaSexyGirl]

Here it goes.

I love what I'm seeing so far ladies!

I will post my update pic tomorrow.

Also, seeing that my hair has gotten longer and stronger, I'm noticing that it's becoming harder and harder to straighten my hair for length checks. It took me....brace yourself.....3 DAYS to go from curly to pin straight. I think I may be able to claim WL finally. I dunno, you be the judge when I post my pics. But man, I cannot imagine the maintenance and time it will take when my hair reaches hip length!

THREE DAYS?!!! What on earth are you doing to get it straight?

 

[yamilee21]

^^^ Yeah, I want to know too!

(Maybe you just need a Maxiglide? )

I did a .5" dust front and back. First pic is a few days flat ironed with bun waves. I have a U - shape hemline (a few inches away from completely growing out long layers in the back). Long layers in the front. Was flat ironed and wrapped that day.

OMG.. Your hair is GORGEOUS May I pleasee have you reggie??

 

[LadyPaniolo]

Ok, at long last, my length check pics. Grumble, grumble. Since my new growth is not flat ironed or even wet here, I didn't really get an accurate reflection of length.

But I like the pic of my ponytail. I put the towel underneath for contrast. It makes me when people post hair pics wearing a black shirt, lol, so I just stuck a dishtowel under there to make my hair more visible. I wore my hair like that all day while I was out and about running errands etc.

I've been doing really well with taking gelatin. I noticed that my newgrowth is a different texture... it's much looser. Strange. But it seems to be growing at a good clip (despite photo to the contrary lol) and I am pleased with my progress.
