mscocoface said:
Wow!!!! Ladies is there anyone natural in this challenge with my hair texture doing this?! Want to see some pics.

I would join but getting to one of these goals would be sometime in 2009 or '10 possibly.

Stretched I am somewhere around BSL now not sure if it is still top of or bottom of bra strap haven't checked in a minute. Well.....it might not be that far off. I am going for waist length end of summer '08. My ultimate, I have a dream, I have seen the promise land, Wooosaaa, goals for me would be tail bone stretched and mid back not stretched. Considering how much shrinkage I have, I figure I will reach my non stretched goal sometime around 2015!:lachen: Not sure what that would look like stretched. Goodness and mercy!

Keeping hope alive though. I am going to enjoy watching you ladies reach your goals in the foreseeable future!

Best wishes to all of you.

Well I will float along with you guys. Don't expect to be there anytime soon but I like the company up in here! :grin:
 
Ayyyy mscocoface!!!

I'm here too, lurking and pushing on. I figure I was 'bald' 18 months ago, and I'm just now bareeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellly touching shoulder length - so I figure at LEAST another 3 years just to get to BSL, and another 5 on that to get to TBL.....ummhmm, I'm on that long term plan.

I'm not really growing my hair out, I'm just refusing to cut it. :lachen:

Then come on up in here and stay. This isn't about speed, it's just about the healthy hair journey. I'm on the long term plan as well. I have my goal set in my mind, and I'm just taking care of my hair and letting it do it's thing. As Nappywomyn said, I've put away the scissors. :D

I realized not too long ago that GoldenBreeze and I have similar avatars. Both of us are wearing yellow and have our hair in a plaited ponytail. :)

I'm in! Checking in later when I've measured my hair. My goal is hip length and my hair is currently waist length. I'm expecting about 1 year from now to goal length including dusting now & then.

I'm natural. Good post!!

Yes, I'm quoting myself :lachen:

I just wanted to say that my hair grows a lot more slowly than I imagined...I wrote that post in 2005 and it took until last year to get to hip length.

My hair is currently right at the butt crease :blush: when I stretch it downwards. That is below my hip bones.

I'll try to grow to classic length, but I feel confident that I can reach tail bone length within a year or so...

Where are my long haired ladies? :)

Congrats Flower on reaching hip. Girl it is not about how long it takes, because the extra long hair journey is a long one. Just keep moving along. Your hair is beautiful.

I'm years behind you, but I'm plugging right along. I'm so lazy about pics, I haven't posted any for 2008 yet. Their in my camera, but I need to get them online.
 
thanks goldenbreeze.

my stats:
crown to tips = 39 inches
body length = it ranges from waist to classic.
my goal = to be all one length, whatever that may be. I'll never cut! :rolleyes:

I think hair grows slower when it reaches a certain length (at least mine does). Maybe that is why we are slow with the updates.

I was just reading this thread last night. I wish there were more updates :ohwell:.

I wish there were more updates too...

Maybe some cut their hair because of all the work they have to put into their long hair.

And it's true what Velvet says, that it grows really slow at this length...every inch is like a lifetime :lol: My hair was waist length in 2005, it's only recently hip length. It grows so uber slowly.

Some of these members aren't here anymore either...
 
I measured today and it's just about 36 inches from front of hairline to tip. I won't know the real length unless it's straight though. I'm currently wearing a wash n' go with about 8 inches of new growth so there is some shrinkage there.

I've been trimming it once a month to slowly trim off the relaxed hair. When I'm completely natural (if I last through this transition) I'm tempted to never cut it again and see how long it gets. But I think I'm getting too old for this hair and I've been thinking a lot about cutting to armpit length. I really feel like I need the change so we'll see.:yep:
 
I'm glad that this thread was bumped. It's been a long time since I gave an update.

As many of you know, I started transitioning to natural in 01/2006, which means that I have a lot of natural hair on my head, now. I did not want to do a BC and have been cutting the relaxed hair off, a little at a time. I am so tempted to cut all of the rest of it off, right now.

I've made a great discovery! My natural hair is not only wavy, but curly, too on the ends. :grin: I have no idea what my hair length is b/c of all of this shrinkage.

Ugh! don't say that . . . I've only gained 2 inches or so since September- measuring hairline to end- 29 inches.

I'm giving myself until June for a trim- just a teensy bit.

Oops, I didn't give my own update.:blush:

I hate measuring, ugh!! Right now my hair has about 1 1/2" to go
before it fully covers my 4 hook bra, so almost MBL. It is still
growing at a decent rate, but I expect that will change once I
reach waist.

The current goal is waist by the fall of 2009. Can you tell I don't
like stress! :D I'm also natural, and only straighten to check length
a couple of times a year.

I think long hair looks beautiful on ladies of all ages. My grandma
was 100 years old when she passed away, and had a gorgeous silver
TBL braid. I thought it was so pretty when she would wrap it around
her head, and clip it with a Flexi-8, or Facari. She was so fly. :lachen:

I don't know if I'll live to be 100, but I would like to have at least TBL
length hair for the rest of my life.

On the rare occasions when I measure, it's from hairline to hemline.

I don't have the "longer than my reach" issue yet. :nono: As long as
you use a good heat protectant, and don't have your flat iron or comb
too hot, you should be fine.

ETA: I use an electric hot comb, and put it on level 4 of 10.

thanks for the reply goldenbreeze!
i have always used my trusty hot combs but i just got my hands on a ceramic flat iron. i am dying to use it but not too eager to start up with the heat even just once. when i do though, this will be the first time i ever went into it with any type of knowledge at all. i have always just "went for it" and used any old thing i had laying around. thank god for LHCF cuz now i half assed know what im doing. i have been hearing a lot about CHi Silk Infusions. i think thats what it is. has anyone on here used that? i have never worried about using "good" products before.

im soooo new to all this........:blush:

Congratz on transitioning, I can't wait to see how long your hair gets either. Keep your hair girl youv'e put alor of time, effort and TLC into your'e hair.

Hijacking: Besides, who says you or anyone else is too old for long hair, the fashion industry, you mean the people who tell us to cut our hair dye it, fry it, and then make a killing in the billions of $$$ selling us hair, extensions and wigs? You mean those people? Family, freinds, what you want is most important and if you cut think about it, then do what's best for you. -cyberhug-

Well I'm finally WSL, just the back of my hair so I'm claiming it, the front has some catching up to do, but my hair was always uneven due to some layers and it grows in a V-shape naturally. I've updated my fotki. WSL party ladies. :woot:
