hi ladies just wondering how long did it take you to reach your 1st goal? what products were used? and was the challenge hard did it seem like u was watching paint dry or you saw results right away? I think this thread will be inspiring for all newbies including myself who are on their way to long healthy hair​

it depends on many things: where you are now, what you do, etc.

from the time i joined, it took me about 5.5 months to reach my first goal of BSL. From 19 to 22.5"... i had a little growthspurt when I started, b/c i washed 3 times a week

It wasn't challenging. I enjoyed the process. I still do now. If you look at it as something tedious, then it WILL be tedious. Enjoy what you do, b/c you will be happy when you get there. Well basically, I saw results at every touch-up. I had 2 touch-ups from the time I started to when I reached BSL.

As for the health of my hair, it took me a little while to eliminate breakage b/c i was learning how to handle my hair and all that, but anyway, Patience is a Virtue, and if you can't be patient, just go wash it and put it in a bun

I reached armpit length a while back because I too had a growth spurt, I was using Surge and still am, and I was then washing my hair every 4 days. Which I am getting ready to go back to. I was bunning and just trying to limit manipulation to my hair.

It took me about 5 months to get an inch or so below Shoulder length. I didnt use any growth enhancements or anything like that. I just did protective styles the majority of the time and and the last two months or so i was CW every other day. I used the Nioxin line, then switched to Nexxus. I would moisturize my hair with mango butter. At first all I cared about was my hair, and it just SEEMED to be growing so SLOW.....but once I just let it do its thing with out worrying it seemed to take off. Also since I stretched my relaxer for months....there was so much shrinkage, that I would get discouraged....but once I relaxed I saww ALL the length I had acheived. HTH

ITA! My goal when I came here was to get my hair healthy - no matter what the length. I feel I accomplished that within the first few months. I too enjoyed the process and I still do. It's fun and I'm always learning something new, even after all this time!

It took me 10 1/2 months to reach my first goal of bra strap length. My regimen was pretty simple and still is, I wear protective styles 80% of the time, use little heat, CO Wash atleast 2-3 times a week, and moisturize my hair every other day. I didnt use any special products other than MTG, when I started using it I was 2.5 inches from my goal, it helped me reach my goal a bit sooner than expected, but it wasnt the major factor that attributed to my hair growth. It wasnt really challenging, I enjoyed the process as well.
