i used ors replenishing conditioner as my dc, and no shampoo. i wear a bum 90% of the time...hip length here i come...

i want to join.

Of course you can join us on the growth to HL I'm just not adding names to the first page.

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.

I was going to do a cassia treatment 2 weeks ago & realized I was out of it!
How do you like the AV juice as a spritz? Do you keep it in the fridge?

I hope all of this heat & humidity has helped to increase my growth rate this summer

[schipperchow1]

HHG

 

[schipperchow1]

:wowespite your set backs, looks like you will make HL before DEC Thanks for posting

BTW: I base HL by the top of my hip bones which is about 1-2 inches from my belly button.

Hi everyone, I know I won't be anywhere close to hl by Dec 2010 (I have to trim again before the year end), but is it ok if I hang out here with you ladies?

I'm loving the aloe Vera juice instead of water I don't even dilute it and I keep the av juice bottle I. He fridge and keep my spay bottle in the br
I don't think I'll be able to spritz and damp bun when winter comes I've got to figure something out soon. Any suggestions I'm open to straitening more often since it will be cold out.
I've noticed my hairs a little bi thicker and longer in it's shrunken state since switching to the aloe Vera juice spritz evoo and olive oil Eco styler gel also the shine off my natural ps is bangin

Ita w shipprrchow

Spring, of course. I love the siggy pic. Is it new? I don't think I've really looked at it before. Your hair is very long and thick with nice thick healthy ends. You should be close to hip length by the end of the year.

You should post more pics.

 

[Lucia]

^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!!

Congratz you look lle your an inch past WL already when you straiten it will be longer

[jupitermoon]

Hi Lucia. How are you? I haven't seen you around for a while. How is your hair coming along?

 

[Spring]

Hey thanks for the welcome Celina !

After bsl my hair thins out really fast, so it feels like I'm trimming more often than I'd like. Yes my siggie is new. In July I posted a pic right before my 3 month relaxer touch up, but I unfortunately trimmed my hair without straightening first, so after I relaxed my hair, my hair is ~.5inch shorter....

 

[MsKibibi]

Love the siggy pic Spring!

So it doesn't feel sticky? I may try this...
My cassia came in the mail, so I will do that this weekend. I am so excited, I haven't done a cassia treatment in about a year!

In the winter, I tend to do more roller sets.

Wimsy! You're past WL Congratulations!!

HHG everyone!

 

[Spring]

Love the siggy pic Spring!

Thanks! and btw I love your videos

Of course you can!! Just try to hold off on trimming!

Thanks,....I'll definitely try

HHG everyone!

No the AVJ is not sticky at all.
I mixed some pectin powder with the cassia so it would have a gel like consistency
I was easy to use no drips no big mess. you can buy pectin in the baking goods section.

Thanks for the idea bit I can't roller set at all and my hairs too thick to stay on hard plastic rollers I have to either airdry and flat iron or blow-dry alone or flat iron after.
I've really tried to roller set and it never works. Even when I used to go to the stylist and my hair was relaxed they didn't even bother trying it either. I may have to try it again and see since my styling skills are better now.

Hi Lucia. How are you? I haven't seen you around for a while. How is your hair coming along?

Been really busy love the new siggy pic
You're just collecting all the pretty hairtoys post links please. I didn't know my hair was making progress until a fam member said so. Well judging by 1 of my fav ps styles the 2 braid Chinese bun w the hairstick it's longer. When I first did this bun I could just get around he bottom and pin the very ends on top.

Now I can go around the bottom and wrap the very ends back around the hairstick a little past it the halfway mark to the bottom. Bit I usually fold over he last 2 inches and pin those on the sides got to keep my ends well tucked under.
So when I reach my ultimate goal I should be ale to wrap it around 2 x at least and that's with shrinkage.

Yay! Congrats on the progress! Your hair has come a long way from the set back you had earlier this year/end of last year.

Thank you. I got the sticks in my siggy from www.crystalmood.com .

Celinastar I just checked out your update pics very nice your hairs thicker if that's even possible love your hairs hang time I wish mine would hang more raddah raddah I have a good amount of hair and I'm so grateful for that I really shouldn't complain.
I see you're not CW daily but weekly is that better for your hair now?
When and/or how often do you use shampoo?
And do you think your growth would be even faster than it already is if you did daily CW ? TIA
btw this SEP will make it 1 year since my BKT debacle happened.

Thanks. I started co washing once a week because I've grown to really hate walking around with wet hair. I've been doing this pretty much all summer. I have no set time that I shampoo. It just depends on if my hair feels as if it has a lot of buildup on it which is very rare. Right now the only hair product I'm using on my hair is the Giovanni conditioner and that is cone free. I plan on using EVOO again when it's cooler. Since EVOO is a heavy oil I'm sure I'll have to shampoo a few times during the fall and winter. I'm not sure about growth but I think my retention may be a little bit better since I'm only manipulating my hair once a week now instead of daily.

Your hair has come a long way since last September. You should be proud. You've done a great job with your hair.

I keep switching from daily CW to once a week When it's really hot
and humid out I just rinse no conditioner I guess I'm just doing whatever now

Do any of you ladies think you got a growth spurt this summer?
I trimmed about 1/2" & did a cassia treatment (forgot how messy this can be), but not sure if I got any growth beyond the norm. I guess I will find out at next month's check in.
