Hip Length (HL) 2013 Challenge!!

Wearing my hair in an unintended braid out. No other product other than my normal m&s from last night.
 
Back to drop off a pic or two.

I did an unintentional braidout yesterday. Hubby was complaining that I never wear my hair out anymore. Never is such a harsh word. Why, I just wore my hair out in October. :look:



Anywho, I took my Celie braids out and this is what I got:

I didn't use any styling products. Just the normal m&s from the night before. I just unbraided my 5 Celie braids and started fluffing it. Tah dah! Makes me wonder how good it would look if I intended for it to be a braidout and actually used styling products. Ah well. I can't get caught up in wearing it out again. I'd like to keep it in protective styles at least until it warms up.

Oh, and I did stretch a piece for a quasi-length check. Claiming mbl.

Just thinking. A flat ironing would be amazing right now. But, naaaaah. Waiting for my birthday in June. :lick:
 
Girl that braid out is EVERYTHING! You D-I-D that! My mother in law always said when you do something unintentional (what ever you do) comes out amazing. Then when you try to put your foot in it (southern slang), it comes out soso(or, giving you your foot back :lol:). Anyhoo girl what are you a Gemini/Cancer. I said the same in my previous post I want to flat iron for my birthday, which is in June, but in this April length check if my hair is HL, flat iron here I come!!!!!!!

Thanks brg240 and Whimsy!! It took about 3-4 hours hands-on time. She twisted and then put the straw on. I left the straws in for two days.

Oh, and that sounds like fun, Whimsy. I'm up for it :)
 
OK I straightened last night and did 4 knots last night so I had some waves today.

I'm totally almost hip length. I think maybe I can claim it in 2-4 months? (1-2 inches) What do you think ladies?

So I straightened my hair for a gala this past weekend. Just wanted to post since I rarely straightened. I LOVED the curls so I think I'll start straightening and curling regularly when the weather cools back down (which I don't really want to think about right now lol)

I'm still at WL. Don't expect to get to HL until the end of the year.

I don't feel like I've retained much since my last length check in January. But I haven't been taking care of my hair really. I have a new regimen that includes washing and deep conditioning every 2 weeks (versus once a month) and I'll try to moisturize throughout the week. Hopefully this will take me where I need to be.
