lol yes it is a proof pic... i wont name names of course but i had gotten a little pm when i did my last update and uh... well yeah. i chose not to respond because i thought it was childish but i figured that since they are obviously in these threads a lot, i'd post s little something for themlmao
CONGRATULATIONS!!! 
Have you done it yet? Keep us posted. I may have missed you saying this somewhere but, I'm SO excited for you! Oh, and I hope the job hunting is going well and lands you the job of your dreams!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold up. Are you saying that you're planning to elope?? OMG!
lol. But I've been in the mood for thick ends, so I cut it. Since I know my hair can actually reach HL I'm really not sweating it anymore. I'm happy with my new blunt cut. I will still grow it out to hl (whimsy I'm going to join your challenge) but this time I will expect it to be blunt hl. I'm still going to be lurking in here though.
I mean I will post some later but my hair is in a twist out right now, not suitable for a length shot lol. I will later on though. I mean, the year isn't up yet.
We don't need a length shot we just wanna see your beautiful hair!!!
Happy birthday Mz.MoMo5235 !!!
Your hair looks beautiful! So does yours SmilingElephant!
I have cut my hair back to WL(the thickest point). And since I realize WL isn't that far from hl, I decided just to cut it. Before I cut it, the longest parts were like an inch from the crack of my arse
the flat iron is puffy I'm fine with that it's been raining and humid this week.

Your hair is much thicker and it may be a bit longer than a few months ago. You're wearing a baggy shirt in your progress pics which makes it harder to see exactly where your hair stops on your body. Also, do you daily co wash? If so the daily co washing may be too much manipulation for you and could be affecting your retention.
Lucia, don't feel discouraged. You will make hip length. There is no set time; this is not a race.
I was feeling bad about it, I can always count on you ladies to understand and give a good word. 
erplexed...i know for a fact my hair has grown alot bc i decided to just blowdry my roots last nite and i STILL had to use all my upper arm strength (that i have
) to put it in a decent bun.Hey ladies whats goin on up in here?? I'm just about to be 5 months post and i'm just now starting to have styling issues....and don't feel bad @Lucia...i'm in the same boat as you....it seems like my hair is shrinking
Next time i will take a pic RIGHT after i flat iron my hair bc it tends to shrink up after a few days...AND i'll wear a white T-shirt
And i'm starting to think wearing bun lately makes me look old or something....especially now that my edges are starting to show their curly patterns....i just have to get used to it i guess.
I hpe to be near Hip by the end of next year though
@CelinaStarr I am loving your new Avatar and Siggy pictures.
I haven't checked in here in a while, and when I come back I get this great surprise of everyone showing their beautiful updates 
I don't really see any growth from the last update and the last pic is how I normally wear my hair if it's not in a bun, I just keep it in 2 twist or platts. Once the NG get out of control during the stretch a bun is better it keeps my nape NG from matting.
Wow
hang in there Lucia and Smilingelephant!! Smilingelephant, when you have a lot of newgrowth it can make your hair seem shorter when it really isn't ....
.....grrrrr to shrinkage!!!...
)erplexed and I wasn't able to click on the other attachment with 4 pics I hope thats whats going on
....GIVE ME YOUR HAIR!!!!....
