Hip–Tailbone Length (HL–TBL) 2015-2016 Challenge!

[ElevatedEnergy]

I'm pretty sure it's all in my mind...but it seems like my hair stopped growing.

I should measure it. But maybe I'm watching it too much.

Yeah Sis...it's all in your mind. Your hair is growing! Everytime I look at my dark brown dusty roots compared to my jet black (colored) length; I'm like dangggggggg! My hair grows super fast. I haven't colored my hair in around 6 months and I swear I have at least 5 to 6 inches of new growth.

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

The first week of fall, I will do my seasonal routine.

Roller set with a mix of my magnetic and French rollers.
Flat iron the roots on low heat (300)
Seasonal trim

Wear it straight for a few weeks. The first wash after all of the above will be coloring my roots! I missed my summer color session due to being in that sew in, but I'm back on track!

I'm also fully stocked on products and ready for the rest of summer and fall!

I'm still at 30 inches since May! Idk...im drinking a beer and handlind a measuring tape...so i may be off lol

Either way...i need to trim an inch off...i want healthy ends....hopefully i'll be a full Hip Length by next Spring and then i'll be satisfied

THAT'S ALL I WANT!!

I'm trying to get back to oiling my ends regularly. I always seem to forget.

Why do you flat iron only the roots?

Why do you flat iron only the roots?

I like my roots to be straight before I touch them up with the color. I use way less color this way and it's also easier for me to tell the difference between my natural color and my previously colored hair. So the wash before I color, I roller set and flat iron the roots.

Wow Amazing

 

[MileHighDiva]

I hope she doesn't get mid-shaft splits from using that darn tangle teazer. I know she likes that tool from a previous video. I want to everytime I see that darn thing.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@MileHighDiva I'm not about that tangle teazer life but her hair is thick and beautiful though.

 

[sgold04]

I wonder if I should aim for hip length...I'm not doing a great job taking care of my ends. I need to do better.

Girl, me either. I'm like
when I see those darn things.

@MileHighDiva I'm not about that tangle teazer life but her hair is thick and beautiful though.

Ever since the Denman did me in (and it took me a few months to realize it - SMH) I'm done with Detangling tools. Fingers only here. Too paranoid now lol!

 

[caliscurls]

Was inspecting my ends yesterday. It's time for a search and destroy session or trim. I was going cut an inch in Q4....but I may just dust the ends over the next two weeks and be done with it.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@caliscurls The only time I'll use a detangling tool is on wash day. I use either a wide tooth comb or a Widu (sp?) brush with the wooden teeth since there's no seams. I finger detangle for the most outside of wash day.

 

[FoxxyLocs]

I only use my denman for the comb chase method when I'm flat ironing. Or to detangle straight hair. Other than that I use my wide tooth comb.

I'm really happy to see she finally surpassed her hair goals.

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

I didn't know she was back to uploading! Gotta check YouTube more often.

Her hair is

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

Yea I remember back in 2014 she was going thru an iron deficiency issue that was causing major shedding. It damaged her hair. Then she disappeared. I went thru the same issue with my pregnancy. I wasn't taking my iron pills (still not) and it caused major shedding. I'm glad she conquered it.

 

[MileHighDiva]

You better start taking your iron and Vit D! We cant have your lovely locks thinning out @pre_medicalrulz .
