Good for you! Your hair is wonderful. I bet lots of people *heart* your hair.

Strangely enough, I find myself taken aback when others describe me as a hair idol/inspiration. FlowerHair and the other names that you mentioned are the ones that I consider hair idols. I remember looking at their hair pics for inspiration back in 2007 when I was still transitioning and becoming serious about taking care of my hair. I never would have thought I could grow hair past waist length like them.

See that hair anorexia will get you all twisted up, congratz the 1st time someone wrote me I inspired them, I was shocked b/c I didn't feel my hair was full WL even hemline, or even long enough. I've been hit by the hair anorexia too, just hope that reaching HL will cure it for me. Just keep doing what you're doing cause it's working for you.

Momo I stare at my hair and go back and forth on whether its WSL or MBL so I hear ya. I "claimed it" on my siggie but most of the time I wanna delete it LOL



Hi Chicoro!
Sometimes I get discouraged and feel like my hair isn't growing. I am keeping up with my routine tho and taking care of my hair. By the way I've been using your bag (free bag with a purchase of 2 books) on the weekends. Still waiting for a Bostonian Nikko's cousin to stop me on the street and say hi LOL

You have lovely hair.

I go back & forth on my actual length tooerplexed But instead of getting discouraged about whether or not it's growing, I've started enjoying the length that it is at currently

 

[schipperchow1]

I forgot that I joined this challenge. I haven’t done a length check in a while.

Thanks for checking in. How's the hair growing?

 

[LadyPaniolo]

I think that most of the ladies in this thread are probably somebody's hair idol. It's very awe-inspiring to think about, huh? I remember when I was lurking in 2006 and I saw ladies who had BSL hair and thought WOW, maybe I could do that too? :scratchch Those posters aren't active members anymore, lots of them. But nevertheless they are hair idols of mine. Chicorro is my MAIN hair idol... I was having a hard time forming my own reggie and I decided to just jack hers and adapt it to my Crown & Glory as much as possible. It worked :wink2:

 

[schipperchow1]

Hey ladies
I did my daughter's and stepdaughter's hair yesterday (DC+Rollerset+Flatiron) and I wanted to share some pictures of my 11 yr old DD's hair. Is she classic length or tailbone? I really can't tell. Curly her hair shrinks up to BSL. I used Skala as a leave-in and their hair came out sooo soft.


BTW most of the time she begs me to cut her hair LOL She was born bald as an eagle. By age 7 her hair was this length. I think this is her terminal length because its been this length for a while. Whenever I do cut it her hair grows back pretty quickly. This is the length I want my hair to be when it grows up LOL

Her regimen: DC once in a blue moon. Co-wash pretty much every day. Her hair is always in a curly ponytail 99% of the time. I cut her ends every 2 years.

Thanks for sharing. You did a great job on her hair. It looks TL to me My current length goal.

 

[schipperchow1]

So I'm gonna stop dreaming and withdraw from this challenge. I will cut my hair to full SL in June to help with my transition (I'll be doing braids for the summer and it takes too long braiding mbl hair with extensions). I decided to officialy withdraw from all the long haired challenges to further push me towards cutting since I've been changing my mind back and forth for the past 3 month!

Good luck ladies and keep growing that beautiful hair! Hopefully I can join the hip length 2013 challenge as a natural!!!

Best of luck with your hair goals!

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

LadyPaniolo is that you RIGHT AFTER the baby was born? Wow you look beautiful! I've never seen a mother fit for a picture until they left the hospital lol

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

Best of luck with your hair goals!

Thanks! I ended up just doing a minichop of 3 inches so I guess I'm back at bsl or right above.

 

[SmilingElephant]

You have lovely hair.

Yeah i'm tryin to stop lingering on wondering exactly what length i am. But i am actually enjoying my length right now....i don't have hairnorexia anymore...thats for sure!!

When your hair gets caught in your armpits...that should cure it! lol!!!

 

[SmilingElephant]

Lady P u look so pulled together in that pic! I hope when i have kids i'll look like that right after!!...i highly doubt it though.

Thanks ladies! I was an hour or so after delivery at that point. They had pumped me full of bags and bags of IV fluids, so I look a bit puffy in the face erplexed lol but I still like the pic anyway. I wore that wig in the hospital so tough it got all matted in the back and it had been my fave, too.

[Whimsy]

Congrats ladypaniolo and yes you look fierce an hour after delivery, go you!!!!

now, screw your hair, i want more pix of that lil cutie!!!!

 

[schipperchow1]

Mmkay so i texlaxed yesterday....i've only gained an inch in a half so there's really not much of a difference since my last texlaxing in March. I went from 26 inches to 27.5 inches which is waistlength and a half an inch on me:woohoo:

I'm so happy....but i was trying to go for 12-16 weeks but i never seem to be able to go past 10....but oh well.

I discovered that when i leave conditioner in my hair....my waves are more defined...so i'm gonna start trying to do some wash and go's.

I am loving my hair right now....now i gotta find something really good to moisturize my hair with...maybe i should just use leave in conditioners to moisturize with??

You are so on your way to HL!! Congrats on the growth & loving your hair!!

OMG! You look amazing! & I love your :littleang

Thanks! I ended up just doing a minichop of 3 inches so I guess I'm back at bsl or right above.

So are you happy with your cut?

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

I'm undecided. I would like to cut more because I just want to hurry up and be natural. I'm not focused on reaching wl that much for this year but I'm not sure if I want to cut some more again next month. I don't know what to do with my hair! Guess I should just bun until I decide.

 

[schipperchow1]

Try enjoying it at this length before you cut some more especially with the summer months coming up & the shrinkage factor!

 

[mariofmagdal]

Hi Ladies!

I have been MIA for several weeks, many things happening in the real world. Considering all I have been through and the stress that came with it, it's a wonder I have hair on my head.

The good news is, I have not lost any. I have been neglecting it though, not by choice. Hopefully I will get the strength to work with it this weekend.

Congratulations Lady P, I agree with the others, you look GAUWGOUS!

Off to catch up on what I've missed.

 

[Lucia]

@LP u look great and the baby is so cute congratz mamma

I'm a little frustrated with my shrinkage factor right now
I see full apl or bsl on someone and Even thigh I'm MBL straight I'm not even full APL yet curly
I've been cw and a bunning fool since last time I flat ironed.
I don't want to use heat too much until I hit goal
I'm hoping I'll have less shrinkage as it gets longer
but the shrinkage is really bugging me lately
