No updates yet...I'm moving on to Classic, but it will no doubt take a while :grin:
I have around 3-4 inches left I think?
It will probably take at least a year from now.
 
Alas, I am but a lowly APL, but I am with you in spirit on your voyage. Continue without me, but in time, I will meet you at your glorious destinations! :grin:.

(in the mean time, I will be stalking this thread :look:)

Updates anyone?

None for me. I was MBL in Jan., and trimmed back to BSL so I don't expect to have an update until Dec. I hope to be a bit past full MBL by then.

Please add me to the list. I am so far away right now but this is my goal TAILBONE!!!! I think joing this site and this club will keep me focused on the big picture. I am dong the C&G until I get to my goal that will help retain as much length as possible meanwhile learning different techniques to keep my hair healthy when I come out of the braids. I have a steamer and I have been using henna so I think I am on the right track.

Grow Hair Grow!!!

Welcome aboard, and HHG.:grin: If you get stressed with the long term goal, then try joining a milestone challenge like APL, BSL, MBL etc. If not, then stay right here, and follow along until you reach TBL.

Stalk away, but you are welcome to join if your ultimate goal is Hip or longer.
 
Flowerhair, stay with girlie. At those long lengths the going can be slow, but you will be at classic before you know it just like when you made it to TBL. I hope when I inch past WL that I can find a buddy to move on to Hip with like you and Cichelle did with your TBL challenge.

GB why did you cut so much back? I am still at BSL. I stop measuring because it was driving me crazy. It's like the watched pot not boiling thing. I am still hopeful for waist length by December but it looks like I'm doing good if I reach Mid Back.
 
i want tailbone length hair

i have a long way to go
 
Wow-this thread is old but really informative. It's cool to see how people progressed. I wonder where some of the old heads are now. I am working toward waistlength now - not sure I want to go much longer. I am approaching 40 - I am not sure I want to put the effort to get it much longer when I know I'll be pulling it up and off my back.

I'll be watching though!!
 
Slow growing but growing. After my thrilla in manilla with my hair (attempting to flat iron) the other week I am seeing more density than anything right now.

I know it is growing but I am getting more width and girth than length. Not sure what that is about but I will take it.

I have my hair in twists and I have notice that where I was having trouble with my hair line you can see that those twists are now thicker and stronger. The ends are real light but the base and middle of the twists are very dense and thick.

So although I am truly trying to be more accepting of the growth I have I don't know when I will reach my goal of actually being a proud card carrying member of this group.

So inch by inch row by row if it takes 5 months or 5 more years I know I will get there.

As for making my hairline thicker and healthier I have been using Moe's Growth oil and I added mustard, wheat germ and Jamacian black castor oil and then another oil combo I made that has jojoba, avocado and coconut oil. I use them back and forth. My hair seems to like the Ayurveda products as well as oils and butters so I am staying the course with these to since I am seeing some results.

I am trying to be patient..somedays it works....somedays.....not so much!

Well....... I only intended to trim 1 inch, but I had an attack of OCD. I don't trim often maybe once a year, and I just lost my mind, that's all.:blush::lachen:Measuring is not my thing either. If I take pics a couple of times a year, then that's enough for me.

You're doing great! In my experience (for my head) added thickness is a precursor to a growth spurt. It seems that the thickness indicates a new level of hair health.

I don't have the most patience in the world either, so I decided to just practice good hair care and not think about my hair too much outside of that. It's nice to get pleasant surprises at the end of each year.

You should grow it to your knees first then waist length would seem so much easier. :yep:

Ok, I'm joining. I've been looking at this thread for over 2 years now but I was bald when I first saw it, so I was way too intimidated. But now I'm BSL and I'm in. I want to get to Hip length when straightened. Short term goal is WSL by December, we'll see.

That's wonderful! I can't wait to hear about your success :D
 
I guess I'll join as well, even though I'm only APL. I'm going to shoot for TBL. Do I have to have a time frame to reach my goals, or can I just post pics as I reach each goal?

No time frame... :D
We just post as we reach our goals.
I'm glad you decided to join! :)

Thank you, FlowerHair. It seems like a long trek from where I'm coming from now, but I'll take it one inch at a time :grin:. I'll probably also check out a lot of the members of this challenge's regimens to help me out.
 
I'll join! My goal is top of pants stretched, not sure where this will fall with shrinkage, but it will give me some decent length with my braidouts, banding, and blowouts.

I'll come back and post my regimen. I'll basically be in hair bootcamp because I've learned the hard way what causes my setbacks with natural hair.
 
I'm in, as well. Like Muffin, i'm apl..
Muffin wanna be tailbone partners?
Can you guys post your reggies?
Thanks for the inspiration!

Sure! Thanks for asking them to post their reggies. I was too shy to. I think I have a pretty good reggie that will work for me. That's my problem, though. I've never really had a set reggie. I will post a link to my reggie in a sec. Post yours, too :yep:.
 
Wow how inspiring to see all my hair idols on this thread!
I just subscribed.

Too bad the original OP isn't a posting member (I'm assuming)
 
I'm slowly creeping towards classic right now, but it seems as if it's taking forever to get past my butt. I'm over halfway there though, so hopefully I'll reach it by the end of '09 or the beinging of 2010.
