Hip Length Challenge 2010

[Lucia]

She probably is going by actual hip length and not hip bone length.

ITA

Our actual hips are the widest area vs hip-length being the top of the hip bone close to waist..... I think

Your right that's the official HL but hair police aka the haters have people scared to claim ther rightful lengths.

i still feel like i have to cut some more... i'm not so satisfied with my ends... but i think i will hold back on that for a bit

[Mz.MoMo5235]

i will keep the scissors up... i think in feb or march i'll do another trim and then aug do another. this way i dont get crazy with cutting but i dont let my ends continue to suffer.

i'm half way kicking my self in the butt for going so long with out trimming but no turning back now. i have crackin and classic to get to now lol

 

[Lita]

Congrats to all of the ladies that made it to hip length!!!!! I didn't make it, but I knew I wasn't going to. I joined because I wanted to be inspired and I definitely was!

I'm off to Whimsy's hip length 2011 challenge now. Wish us luck!

I'm debating whether to get a blowout and see the real length. I just hate going to the salon.

Do it yourself
You hav a V shape and the just love chopping that up to apl Don't do it

 

[mariofmagdal]

Wow, everyone has done so well, congratulations! I have to get some pictures somehow. My daughter says I have some strands that are CRACKIN as Iris says ;0).

I had 2 setbacks this year and lost hair/length. I am on the road to recovery, and doing well. I will do my best to get pics this weekend. I would love to have a blow out, (it's been years since any heat), but heat is totally out of the question, especially since I am in repair mode. This was fun. Off to see which challenge I am going to join for next year. ;0)

Congrats to all you ladies - great progress Mo, Boston, TrueQueen, and YOU!

It has been a privilege to do this hip length challenge with ALL of you ladies - Thanks for the support and encouragement!
I will continue to grow, and I will look forward to where I am at one year from today.
This challenge was a personal success, b/c I hit hip about 3 times this past year, and gained length. My hair continued to grow, and although I am a self trimmer - I needed a professional cut/style. I was not happy with just having "long" hair, I wanted my hair to be pretty also. So, as much as I tried to overlook the need for a cut, I could no longer contain the dissatisfaction of the shape of my hemline and ends. I am happy, because my hair is once again thick. I again a little past waist, and will be back at hip before the summer.

Here are my progressive pics up to my most current pic. As you can see - I could not make up my mind about my hemline, and kept cutting, cutting, and cutting. It was best for me to get someone to cut, because now I am happy about the shape of my hair. Currently, I am .5" longer than my very last picture. (I am "curly right now - so, no stretch)











I will be tweaking my 2011 reggie, and expect to see lots of progress due to no need for lots of trims. I will continue to update my albums, and I will be creating some "extreme moisture" techniques to retain the majority of my growth.
See you ladies around... and, if I see a new tailbone challenge pop up - I am in.

I'm going to make an appointment with a friend of mine that knows how to do natural hair. I hardly go to her because you have to book an appointment weeks in advance. I need to fix the hot mess of a hair dye I did on my hair a few weeks ago.
