I want to be natural waistlength stretched. Right now I'm shoulder length stretched and my hair grows about 6 inches a yr, so I'm thinking I'll reach my goal by June 2011. All I do is wash my hair once or twice a week and wear a washngo and I'll deep condition once a month. I keep my regimen very simple and I hope this is what will get me to waistlength.

1 year. My hair seems to grow about 4 inches a year. Plus, I have some heat damaged ends which may need to be trimmed away. I plan on avoiding cuts until I reach my goal (I want to see if I can get there) but if the ends get too bad I WILL cut!

1. How long is your hair now? I'll say that my hair is APL
2. How many inches are you from your next length goal? I voted that I would like 3 more inches, I would like to get to the bottom of my shoulder blades. After I reach that goal I reevaluate from there, I'll need to see if I can properly handle hair longer than that, I don't want to spend much more time than I am now doing my hair.
3. What are you doing to get there? Working on protein/moisture balance, weekly DC with heat, using the right tools and products, taking vitamins, drinking more water, stretching relaxers, dusting more often and paying more attention to my hair

[snillohsss]

Past shoulder length

2. How many inches are your from your next length goal?
My goal was APL. I didn't want super long hair, but long enough to change styles. So I am about 2-3 inches from that goal.

3. What are you doing to get there?
Very simple. 100% no heat. Braidouts, or the occasional bun. I deep condition about 5 times a week.

4. How long are you giving yourself to reach your goal
Well I was giving myself until December for APL, but I think I will reach that goal in the fall. So my new goal is BSL. After that, Im done. I will just maintain.

 

[CenteredGirl]

let's see.... how far away is China? I'm on that boat.

 

[mrsjohnson75]

I'm light years away...sigh...

 

[MsEllie]

I voted 3 or more....I've got a long way...

I just starting this past Feb 2009... so I have a ways to go.

 

[Nayeli]

I should be there by next August God's willing- making it 3 years of hair growth!

 

[melodies815]

let's see.... how far away is China? I'm on that boat.

That was funny. I feel the same way...


1. How long is your hair now? I haven't measured and refuse. lol I have a noticebly bigger TWA than I did in Feb, though. Pics should be on my Fotki in an hour or so...
2. How many inches are you from your next length goal? No idea how many inches. I just want to get my hair to full shoulder length, however long that takes. Uggghhhh@ waiting. I think that will look so pretty with a twistout like CurlyNikki's. My short twistout right now is really nice...I'm enjoying my hair now.
3. What are you doing to get there? Low to no maintenance. No trimming. No heat...not even a hooded dryer. Rare combing: Combing only once every 10 days or so. Washing and conditioning and shea/cocoa buttering/aloe vera-ing every other day. MT when I think about it for strength/protein...maybe once a month. My hair is growing pretty quickly. I'm surprised.
4. How long are you giving yourself to reach your goal? I haven't thought in terms of time too much, but if I stretch the hair on the back right, my back came only to the middle of my neck in Feb. Now, it's at the tip tops of the inside of my shoulders - that part of my shoulder closest to my neck. I'm trying not to get excited. I'll just have to see where I am by year's end.

I think my biggest challenge is that every couple of weeks, I want to flat iron just to see how long it is now. I have not given in, and the temptation only lasts a few moments before I move onto something else. I intend to put heat in it to really see the length...but I want to hold out at least until my birthday in August...

This is a fun journey...

Thanks for this thread.
