Hip–Tailbone Length (HL–TBL) 2014 Challenge!

Never take me to the BSS, I always have to go overboard. :(

Saw these huge tubs of conditioner and I was instantly attracted because a) I've never heard of this brand; b) keywords: treatment, olive, lacio, placenta, extreme, recovery, brittle, over-processed; c) thick consistency for deep conditioning treatments. Kind of skeptical since it was so cheap though, the blue was $3.99 while the green was $4.99; I'll try them after my relaxer. Picked up some Roux since ApHogee left my hair hard and protein overloaded -- was able to recover but I don't know when I'm using that again. Also found my favourite serum of all time finally, got 2 but plan to stock up when I run out. PJ CRAVING SATISFIED, I'M HAPPY LOL!~

Which one is it Aireen
 
So I added a couple tracks and because my hair is long the additional inches for hip length looks really believable. If it was only mine. Oh well. I'm really close.
 
Angel of the North... I read a study on products containing placenta from the University of Michigan. I had been looking for some proline perm repaid at the time. The study included information that placenta based personal care products mimic the production of estrogen and lead to cancer. I found it under a search on prolinepermrepair. I had a patient who was using it at the time and she had a big,big jar on her nightstand. This lady was going for a repeat mammogram on one breast. I was terrified and threw mine out. I do not use products containing placenta now. I just wanted to mention it. Thanks for reading:naughty:

felic1 - I remember someone posting about it many moons ago on here. It scared me. I used to use Hask back in the day & though it had my hair growing like weeds & strong & healthy, it definitely wasn't worth the risk.

Thanks for sharing.

Wow... Crazy. For some reason I thought placenta was great never again. Thanks for that.
 
Washed with Shea Moisture Retention Shampoo and dced my hair with Sitrinillah. Then sprayed a bit of Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea before moisturizing with Hairveda Whipped Cream and sealing with Avosoya and a bit of butter on the ends. Bunned yesterday before putting in some largish twists for the week.

I've been having a good time with my hair this week :yep: I don't know if it's because it's flat-ironed and bunning it everyday gives me some waves I love. it doesn't feel so short when it's wavy/curly anymore though. i used to have my hair straight all the time because I didn't like how much shorter it got when it was wavy/curly. my cousin told me my hair looks longer today, yes.
 
Back on my supplement game for the most part then I added vitamin E two days ago. I normally have no recognition of any of my dreams but since taking them my dreams are extremely vivid and odd. :perplexed
 
Hey Ladies - checking in after a long absence! I visited family 2 weeks ago and my cousin, who's a hairdresser, gave me a trim. She said she trimmed 3" but since I was WHip and now I'm MBL, I know she trimmed closer to 5". I'm ok with it.

That's 5" last Oct and 4-5" this month so I doubt if HL in 2013 is in the cards for me, probably 2015 and that's if I keep nursing my fragile strands!

Right now I'm DC'ing with Aubrey organics and will flat iron tomorrow and post pictures.
 
Hitting up Ulta tomorrow... hopefully i'll be able to snag a couple (all :look:) conditioners ... I'll just tell my parents i'm stalk piling for when i go off to college in august lol yes that sounds good LOL.

Don't give up hope!! You're already at MBL and we still have 1 year and 5 months left until the end of the challenge. You have time to grow back to WHip plus 2-3 more inches, then BAM!! There you are at HL :grin:. I'm starting at BSL again, so I have to keep hope alive :lol:.
---------------------------------------
I did my entire head in flattwists going straight back for the first time EVER!! I am so excited and proud of myself because I've wanted to do this style for a long time now. They didn't take me forever (~1.5 hours) and they look pretty good :grin:. Imma try to keep them in for over a week, but I'm so bad with Psing and not messing with my hair :blush:.
Also, something's going on with my edges because they are the thickest they've ever been in my life! Seriously, my hair is thickening all over but it's not becoming rough or wiry. It's actually shedding more too. Maybe I'm growing in new hair :perplexed? I dunno, but right now I like it LOL.

Aireen which supplements are you taking? I'm also having vivid dreams whenever I take silica
 
@Aireen which supplements are you taking? I'm also having vivid dreams whenever I take silica
Constant:
Biosil (silica)
Fish oil
Spirulina (algae)

Sometimes:
Multi-vitamin

I try to drink a green smoothie 3x/week. AlliCat, added vitamin E but don't know if it will be permanent. This is all for skin care/health.
 
Think I'm gonna start using a growth aid on the front left exclusively. This side is shorter due to a scissor mishap last year :look: So once the other front reaches APL will keep trimming both sides until they match.
 

Her hair is beautiful!!

Sidenote: I get so irritated everytime I here someone refer to long hair as being like a white girls. First I'm like, WTH, then secondly, I think that there are so many more Asian and Hispanic women throughout the world who have very long hair than white women. So much so that there's an entire industry that is centered on selling their hair to other people. How can you not get credit for having the most universally beautiful hair when people shell out hundreds and thousands of dollars to have it :spinning:?
