Hip Length Challenge 2010

LoveLongLocks said:
Thanks for the encouragement! I have been "babying" my ends because I am trying to keep every strand intact:yep:.
I was really just disappointed by the set back of an entire year, because I know better than going outside of my normal reggie':perplexed.
I am happy for this thread.:drunk:

You're welcome! That's why I started this thread. At least you know what hindered your progress & know not to repeat! What are you doing to help with your retention?

I have been doing S&D & will be doing more protein treatments this year:yep:

What I'm doing to reach my goal:
- stepping it up on the protein treatments this year.

- doing regular search and destroy missions on my ends

- doing regular deep conditioning treatments with my heating cap

- keeping my head totally warm and covered while outside during winter months

- after this set of C&G braids, I won't be doing them anymore, I don't think.

- wigs, wigs, wigs

- trying to learn some simple and non-damaging styles I can do on my hair without resorting to the wigs :lachen: like some braidouts
 
yay! there's way more people in this hl challenge than the last one i was in! that's great!!! i love to see pix :D lol

so i dont know if i asked this or if it was already advised, but are we doing scheduled pic updates, or are we updating as we please?
 
I have a really good feeling and i'm starting to really believe i could reach Hiplength by December ya'll!

The feelin just HIT me!! But i would be satisfied if i just got halfway there. Just have to not clip my ends as much as i did las year.
 
you can do it!!! i know i wont get there til like the very end of dec lmao and that's grazing!

but i have faith!!! and if we both look out our window, find the brightest star, and wish upon it... maybe, just maybe the hair fairy will hear us and grant our hl wish!!!!

Wonderful...I think I had joined one of your MBL or WL challenges but failed:blush:



Of course you're qualified!


We will never know what we can achieve if we don't try!



Counted!

:wow:4 more ladies who've decided to join the challenge. Welcome! Please share what you are doing to reach your goals:yep:

If there are any lurkers who want to join, :curtain: please let me know before Jan 14, 2010 because I will not add anyone else to the list after this date.

Happy Hair Growing everyone!

Aww you didnt fail completely Im sure you got some progress. I hope I dont "fail" yours though lol.
 
Ok I have been lurking in this thread since it started and, though this is extrememly ambitious, I want to join the challenge :grin:.

My big goal this year is to get to WL but after remeasuring last night I discovered that I am not as far away from that goal as I thought I was. I am right about 3 inches from WL and 6.5 inches from HL. I get .5 inches of growth per month usually so I figured why not shoot for the stars. Granted, reaching HL by the end of the year means that I must retain every inch of hair I grow, have no stalls, and have at least one growth spurt where I get a full inch of growth in a month :spinning:. However, despite the odds I figure if I give it a go at the very least I will be much closer to my goal than I am now and I will get to support all you lovely ladies who are well on your way to HL :yep:.

My starting pic is in my siggy. My hair is actually about an inch longer than it looks in the pic but you get a general idea of where I am starting from. HHG :grin:

Thanks for the welcome schipperchow1! I think there are a lot of ladies in the WL challenge who will probably make HL this year. There are several who are like a blink away from WL. I know a few are already over here but you might get some more now that the deadline has been extended :grin:.

I really like the way you have been hosting this challenge. You are very encouraging and you really keep the thread well organized. I have gotten a lot of ideas from you :yep:.
 
I am new to this forum. Please include me in this challenge! I will post a pic as soon as I can. I am on vacation now so it will be a while before I can get a pic posted.

Thanks for the encouragement:drunk: So what are you going to do to reward yourself:creatures
 
Rewards, rewards! :present:

Hmm... I think when I reach hip length I will let myself order some really super cute beads from my fave beading supply, and spend a weekend making hair toys! I have lots of wood sticks with holes drilled on the end and pewter hair forks that I bought.Once my hair reaches hip length I think it will be hard to fit under a wig and I will start wearing it out... using my fab new hair sticks :gorgeous: I think I will add a long string of freshwater pearls to one... classy!

Not at all, apply away :yep:.

When I reach WL I will celebrate by flat ironing my hair and taking my hubby out on the town. When I reach HL (my final goal) I am planing to take a trip to NY with some of my girlfriends and get my hair cut into a style at Devanchan (a salon that specializes in curly hair). I want face framing layers.
