Hip Length (HL) 2013 Challenge!!

Whimsy said:
KCcurly omg i feel like such a lousy forumfriend! I didn't realize you were preggified!! CONGRATS a million times over!!!! Are you ready for this lil bundle?!

You mean the SL/APL cut? That was july or august of last year. I cut it blunt at the bottom but with layers throughout.
I trimmed about an inch in April of this year but that's it. I could use a good trim. Maybe in January to start the year off right.

Yep! My hair really flourished while I was pregnant. My growth was insane. Now, afterwards my hair was falling out from pp shedding :lachen: but before then was like wow! Especially how thick my hair got.

the shedding and bald edges is the worst!!! my hair is so thin now.:perplexed
 
Idk how far I am from hip length but I definitely want to reach it soon (hopefully in 2013).

Hi ladies :wave:! Wash day yesterday/today. I notice some very loose ends. Nothing that a good aphogee 2 step treatment and a slight trim can't fix!

I think I'm going to quit straightening for good. My strands are too fine and susceptible to heat damage, no matter what the temperature is. Plus I hate the feeling of fearing water on my hair. :lol:
 
okay sooo....gonna have to bow out of this one :ohwell: Last night was wash day and the plan was to flat iron today and then trim. Below is my flat ironed result. I made WSL :party: :yay: BUT them ends, boyyyy....them ends had tah go! :nono: So I had my boyfriend chop chop :cry: Told him to make it blunt and he shole did :lol: Almost passed out when I saw the results :spinning: Welp, I'm at APL now but I'm happy with my healthy hair. :cool:

aww girl! :bighug:trust me it was a long time coming! Thats what I get for putting it on the backburner. My hair has not been happy lately and all I did was ignore her. She showed me! Anytime I thouched my head, combed my hair, whatever, i would have itty bitty hairs all over my hand, my comb, the bathroom sink and floor :nono: Enough was enough. Now lets hope she grows in peace :lol:

Hey ladies....Havent posted here in a while. I did a braid out for the first time ever about a month ago and have been wearing them since. Though I like the way it looks I feel like I have to rebraid my hair every night and Im not really sure how long Ill be able to keep that up... Anyone have any tips they can share???

Also I will have my sister take pix this weekend for my official start up pic.


Hip length we're coming for you!!! See you in 2013!!!!
 
Straightened my hair today. Made WL but refuse to show my fat back lol But by the next length check my back WILL be ON POINT! Either way, sorry for the brown sweater. I trimmed today as well and put it in a couple bantu knots so might post that pic when I take them down.

Haven't decided on a regimen yet but I need to switch things up next year.

Alright I've FINALLY come up with a regimen! Pre-poo and detangle, wash, condition, air dry in braids bo-weekly. Wear in braidout for a few days and then bun or wig the rest of the days. Moisturize daily and straighten monthly (wear straight for 5 days). I'll probably start twisting again in April and will come back to change my reggie.
