Hip Length Challenge 2010

I did cassia let that sit for 3 hours this past weekend and
followed up with dc 10 min of suave tropical coconut and Aussie moist
my hair is in heaven feels very soft moisterized
I'm also using aloe Vera juice instead of water for my spritz then Eco styler olive oil gel for my edges and frizzy areas that won't behave and it's been up in PS since I last straightened.
I'll wait until next check in to flat iron everytime I think about straightening and doing a official length check but either rains or it's 100 degrees and humid.

Okay....i think my hair has thinned out or something.....my sister says it could seem like its thinner bc i flat ironed it....or i think maybe its because i haven't been using my JBCO this spring/summer.....its just so hot:nono:.

Anybody else experience this?
 
I don't understand. Could you post a pic? lol

JK! I haven't experienced it but I also haven't flatironed in 8 months so I guess I wouldn't know! Maybe alot of your long strands have shedded and started a new cycle so you have more shorter hairs than longer hairs at the moment? IDK! lol Just makin stuff up I guess

I am not claiming to know what's wrong.... but if you are taking meds.... you need to drinking a whole lot more water....water....water.... Some meds if not all tend to dry the body out to the point that hydration is lacking without you knowing about it except for external signs like your hair. So drink more water than you need constantly! *smiles*

Thanx Candy!:hug3:

I didn't know meds could cause dehydration!....bc lately i'm always thirsty and it hits me really hard in the middle of the nite.....i violate waterbottles in my sleep!:grin: Had no idea it was bc of my meds!!

Thank you very much for that tip:yep::yep::yep:.....i've actually been on a hunt for the perfect gallon jug so i can always have water with me.....a cute one of course:laugh:
 
the water is a good tip. i'm on some new meds and i need to drink more water i'm sure. what about powerade??? i drink lots of powerade lol i drink like 3 of the big bottles at work per day. then i come home and drink milk. i should get some water in huh

All that is good!:yep: But nothing takes the place of water:nono:..... you need it! If you are on meds.... drink water...more water....
 
I just hate that water makes me go potty alot.:grin: Hey what about tea?? I like to drink herbal tea....especially Celestial Seasonings.....does that count as water intake?

I love tea and i like those little packets you add to the water to flavor it....does that count as well??
 
If your tea is caffeinated then no it won't count because caffeine is a diuretic so you'll have to drink even MORE water!

I love drinkin water what's wrong wit ya'll? lol I drink a gallon a day!

hey! I have been keeping my hair in a braided mid high bun since last Thursday. I've been moisturing almost daily with HE LTR and SC moisturing lotion, then I top it off with coconut oil. my hair felt so nice moisturized and this 12wks post NG has been co-operating so nicely I skip Sundays' hair day.
 
Thank you for the water reminder ladies!!!
I've been slacking since my routine is changing, but I usually chug water like it's my job!
 
PS Milk and Powerade are good too, that's considered water intake, but if you're trying to go above and beyond, you gotta get some extra water in as well.

If you're not into plain water, try putting fruit in it. I love strawberry water. makes me feel fancy lol. And lemon in water is the best!
 
question yall... when you put your pants to hl, how much below your belly button is your pants???

cause the last pic i posted yall said my pants was too low. but when i wear my pants where i normally wear them... they just seem to be too high in pix lol.

i dont know if i'm just delusional or what.

what i do know is if hl is where i wear my pants, then i'm much closer than i originally thought. but before i get happy, i want to know where yall are wearing your pants and i figured going by distance from the belly button would give me a better idea you know
 
^yay for being closer than you thought!!!

Next time I put on pants i'll make note of how far below bellybutton they are.

So, I flattened my hair today (by wrapping a piece around my head for a while) but not straightened it, and took a picture (located in my siggie)

I feel like I'm at the same place! Maybe I've grown but just dont notice since it's not truly straightened? I dunno.

But I do know that I cannot wait till October when I straighten for my engagement picture photoshoot. I hope I'm 2 inches past WL!!!!

don't judge me, lol, a girl can hope!!
 
so i'm not going to straighten until sept or oct. org i said i wouldnt post pix til then but i took a pic because i felt like i was having a really good hair day lol. then i couldnt help but to have some stretched curls pix so this is where i naturally wear my pants (like i said, i think i wear my pants a bit high)... and no laughing at mah gut! lol

My pants are about two inches below my belly button....maybe a bit more I didn't measure just eyeballed it but it sits at my hips


Your hair is sooo pretty! You can just try to feel for your hip bone to see how far you are since you can't really go by other people's measurements. I know I have a short torso and 8 feet of legs so my hip bone may be closer to my naval than yours

Really? Hmm...how far is your belly button from your waist because your pants don't look high-rise to me. And I def don't wear the low-rise like the white girls with no booty lol....although I dont have much back there myself but look at me gettin all off topic:rolleyes:
