I'm just past BSL now (after a self trim).

I need 4 inches to reach waist length. I haven't done anything special, just taking my supplements, wearing my hair up, and keeping my ends moist.

I'd like to be there by December 09, but time isn't a big factor.

 

[Starronda]

I'm only about 2-3 inches away. Since I started braiding my hair and not using heat..I'm getting closer and closer

2. How many inches are you from your next length goal? well i dont know the exact number of inches but i want to be mbl so i have a ways to go
3. What are you doing to get there? im not trimming half as much as i used to. and i am keep my moisture and protein balance up. i also always moisturize and seal 2x a day so i keep my ends healthy
4. How long are you giving yourself to reach your goal? i should be at mbl by the end of this year. esp since during the summer months i usually wet bun everyday. i went from just past full sl to almost bsl in less than a year so i should go from almost bsl to mbl in a year.

 

[tthreat08]

I've reached my goal! I recently cut my hair, have nice full ends...and I still LOVE my hair. I have come to the conclusion that I no longer want to length chase. My hair grows strong and stays healthy as long as I keep loving it. I'm not afraid to cut/trim if I need to....and over time my hair will continue to thrive and naturally be longer and longer. I'm already good enough!

 

[darlingdiva]

How long is your hair now? Almost mid-neck length in the back & eye length in the front

How many inches are you away from your goal? My first goal is shoulder length, so I'd say that I'm about 2-3 inches away from that in the back of my head

What are you doing to get there? Keeping It Simple with my weekly regimen, wearing wigs, keeping my ends moisturized, exercising, and drinking water

How long are you giving yourself to reach your goal? I'm not giving myself a time limit; my hair will get there when it gets there

 

[LiberianGirl]

And what are you doing to get there?

I decided to start this thread because I find it funny when people bump up posts from two years ago and they may be SL then. I always wonder how far they are on their HHJ now?

Soooo......

1. How long is your hair now? longest layer is between collarbone and APL
2. How many inches are you from your next length goal? 1-1.5 inches
3. What are you doing to get there? low manipulation, twist-outs, no direct heat, deep conditioning regularly, henna 1x/month, protein treatment every 6 weeks
4. How long are you giving yourself to reach your goal? Well, I was shooting for March, but I'm not quite there yet. It looks like it's going to be April/beg of May before I can really claim APL.

OT: (mostly a question for naturals) Do your ends get thinner and become more problematic than anything else? Does it hinder your growth and for those who found a solution to their problem, how did you solve it? (natural or not)
