Hip Length Challenge 2010

Hi Ladies :hiya2:& Happy Summer Solstice:hippie4:,

I still have to go back & read a few pages to catch up on what's happening but I am so glad to see that some of you have already posted update pics & have reached Hip Length!!! :band2::band::yay::dance7:

I don't want anyone to feel that they have to flat iron their hair for a length check. Stretched strands are perfectly acceptable.

My hair picture taker is out of town so I may not get my pics up until tomorrow. I think I may be a little past waist [stretched] with about 2 1/2 inches to grow to reach HL

HHG :sunshine:

With flash. I tucked my shirt in my pants so they look a little higher than normal lol.

without flash. Can't really see good. It looks so fuzzy because I need more light bulbs in my bathroom. Yes I know trif :look:

This is when I stretch it. I wish my hair hung heavy :wallbash: so in order for my hair to look hip I probably would have to grow 2 inches past it.

this is just to show the natural color of my hair in sunlight. I have sandy fluffy hair:wallbash:

Well it's not much but it's trying to grow. I'm glad it finally passed WL although it looks the same lol. Hopefully in Sept I will be hip so I can start thickening my hem line with 1 inch trims every 3 months.
 
oh mari it looks awesome! ur right there!!! congrats!
i love the color too.


in other news: i stretched my hair and took a pic. there's absolutely no difference from the length in my signature pic. and that is from april :(

Thanks! Your hair is like almost wl! Don't worry it will grow. I saw you guys talking up thread about how your hair seems stuck. Well that was how it was for me. It's like a soon as I hit wl I had like no growth:nono:. Then eventually it slowly started back growing. I just went through post partum shedding also.I'm so glad it's over. I still wonder why it stalls at these longer lengths.

Just adding my update now. I'm stretching my hair because I just took out the rollers, but this time I'm not going to flatiron. I think that my CHI is not letting me retain all my length :( so I'm a little sad. I'm definitely WSL now so that makes me happy. Hoping to retain 3 inches by December. It'll still put me at purgatory length LMAO :lachen: but I will survive.

BTW I love the fact that you can't see my love handles in this picture! Guess my weight loss is paying off. Woot woot!

Ooo lovely as usual! I love your hair color. I wish I had black hair. I know folks are tired of hearing me say that lol.

Thank you Mariposa'. I wish for your hair color :drunk:...funny how sometimes we are not happy with what we have. I constantly battle coloring my hair, so I appreciate the compliment.

Your hair is beautiful. And I will be with you in trimming back for the next year. I want to finish growing my layers completely out! I love your "V" hemline. :rolleyes:

Aww thanks! Yeah I guess we should just stop complaining and be thankful for what we do have :yep:.
 
ok, here is my poor excuse for an update. i was having some issues so my hair already started to shrink by the time i took the pic. also, i attempted to show where hl was on me by putting on a belt, but it kept moving around and then i realized, i'm not all that sure where hl is so then i just put a yellow line where my pants where at lmao then i attempted to guess where tlb was and then where classic... i think i've just hit a slump in my hhj where i'm just ignoring my hair or something lol i dunno what's wrong with me.

Congratulations to you hip chicks! There are some gawgeous heads of hair in this thread. :yep: That's all I can say. I'm getting choked on my drool. :lick:

Woot woot! Maybe I'll join with you! Can you post the links? Well I guess I could do a search right? LOL

BTW LADIES.... Our length check is coming up in 17 days!

Progress/length check in dates:
Dec 21, 2009 - Official Start date
Mar 20, 2010 - Done
June 21, 2010 - :gorgeous:

The only thing I'm doing different is I'm keeping my hair curly until the 20th. I am going to cowash and bun/ponytail until then. I don't want to see the length until I'm ready to take a picture for the 6/21 update. I should be able to retain 1/4 of an inch by then right? :grin: I'm going to do a coconut hot oil treatment tonight. DC with some AOHR.

Wow! It's been a long time since I last posted prior to yesterday:look:

Nothing has really changed in what I do, just trying to focus on retention, especially since I am getting the urge to trim.

Some of my products already have ceramides so I didn't have to purchase anything for that challenge although I did buy the Alba Kukui Oil. Here's the link :

well i know for sure it was an allergic reaction+not enough slip. on thursday i too like a pea sized amount of that cond and rubbed it on my wrist, let it sit for a bit then rinsed. within 20 min my wrist was irritated and felt dry and itchy

so i think that's what i'll do for now on. when i'm considering a new cond i will go to the store, put it on my wrist and wait a day. if all is well i will go back and get it :) that should work, right?

That's a great idea MzMoMo:yep: I'm glad that your hair & scalp are recovering:flowers:

:gorgeous::yep: Your hair looks like it is thickening it up :love:. That seems to be the precursor to length. I think it looks great:yep:
