Hip Length (HL) 2013 Challenge!!

Thought I'd update you ladies on my regimen, not quite sure what it was when I last posted it but I've pretty much gone back to basics and my hair is loving it!:yep:
New regimen:
Co-wash every 5-10 days
Detangle with tons of conditioner with fingers & wide-tooth comb(had been using my fingers only up until a week ago but I think going back to the comb will be better for me. Finger detangling doesn’t really get all of the tangles…. And takes a lot longer)
DC for a couple of hours
Apply leave-in + Style in medium-large twists (realised that there wasn’t a point to styling in small-medium twists when I only wear them for a few days + larger twists usually = less tangles for me)
Shampoo around every month

Products:
Shampoo-
Superdrug anti-dandruff shampoo
Head and shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo
Conditioner-
Tesco Smooth Coconut Conditioner
DC-
Aubrey Organics White Camellia
Leave-in-
Giovanni Smooth as Silk Deeper Moisture

SN: I finally found a website where I can re-size pics :grin:So here are the ones that I couldn’t upload before :grin:

I'm not sure if I'll make HL by the end of the year, but I'll be okay with that. I straightened my hair on Sunday and am very satisfied with my waist-length hair. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm more than happy with this length right now :grin:

I will continue to take care of it, take my supplements, and buy it nice things.

Congrats on reaching WL! I still wanna see pics! :)
 
My husband helped me do a length check and I am 1/4" from HL and my shortest layer is MBL! I am really excited to claim HL by December:) that gives me plenty of time and a small trim.

WOW congratz you're almost there, looking good mammi :grin:
 
So ladies what are you going to do when you reach HL? I'm going to keep growing to TL and maintain Of course this goal is subject to change
 
Flat Ironed after six months! Need to wrap it tonight to get rid of some of the bulk. I think I can make grazing hip by the end of the year if I really take care of my hair!

Sent from my right hand- I mean my Note 2 lol

It looks like you are grazing HL now!!!!! You mean you will be full HL maybe even TBL by the end of the year LOL!!!! Great Job, your hair is beautiful.
 
tamm Thank you so much! No one IRL understands, they're just like "hey your hair's long" and I'm like "I'm x amount of inches away from hip length!" and they're like "OK? well, your hair's long" which is nice but only you ladies understand the length milestones and the attention to detail with routine and regimen and on and on... I love LHCF!

I started the braid removal process yesterday and boy, oh, boy, takes me about 50 mins to unravel 10 braids... I'm doing a little each day so I won't get impatient and start ripping out hair. Anyway, I couldn't resist doing a little length check with the section I've taken out so far. And I think maybe I am grazing HBL! So excited to straighten in December! :spinning:

What a gorgeous head of hair LaVgirl!!
 
I don't think I'm going to make it by Dec.:nono: I think I'm going to join the 2014 challenge also. this is my hair after my texlax about 2 weeks ago The top of my shorts is my hip. For some reason my elbows are at my hip and not my waist:perplexed

Looking good!!!! :)
 
I joined the 2014 challenge. I still 3 inches for hip length. I've been maintaining as waist length and trimmed my ends. I'm very happy with my thickness and my ends so maybe I will make hip by June
 
Yeah I've still got an inch to go in a month and a half. It's possible, but I'm thinking I hit grazing in January.
