^^^ I'm looking forward to the length check too. I needed 4 inches in Dec. 2008 so March will let me evaluate my growth and to see if I need to make any adjustments. After the check I'm going back into kinky twists. I can't stay away from them. :look:

OT: Shay, girl, I came off that Buy Nothing Challenge and went buck wild on curlmart.com. I bought so much stuff :drunk:. But at least my product stash is still a somewhat respectable number (for a PJ that is).

I've had kinky twists several times in the past and I love them. My first favorite is wet & wavy though. I'm thinking of getting braids to stretch to 6 months. I haven't decided yet. I also lost my mind after the no buy challenge and I believe I spent like $300 in a very short span of time.:blush:
 
I quickly got out of the no buy challenge when my dh gave me the ok to get a steamer last night so I also got some henna, amla oil, amla, and indigo. Happy V-Day to me!!!!
 
I hope to make it by December, I am on a low manipulation challenge. Havent touched my hair in the last three weeks- except to wash it. Gotta love sew-in's!
 
Congrats!! I was in the Buy nothing til Jan 09 and it was killing me. Luckily I only used 1 pass and that was Hairvedas black Friday sale. I couldn't resist:yep:

Checking in, I've balanced my regimen now, I only comb 2x a week....my hair retains moisture now. I'm happy.
 
Just checking up! Ive gotten my hair braided on Monday, in so tiny french braids. I hope that they can last for atleast 3 weeks. We shall see.
 
Ladies, look at this.... I love mega tek!

The "Get Your hands Outta Your Hair '09" challange is back up. You may want to join. It would work great with this challenge. Length retention is what will get us to APL by the end of this year

I am so joining that again! It was so helpful for me last time. I just hope I can squeeze another challenge in my siggy :perplexed!
 
I think that I'm making progress. The sides of my hair touch my shoulders and my hair in the back is a little past my neck. So I believe I'm at least retaining. I'm hopeful that I'll get more length by March when we post our pictures.:yep:
 
Hi ladies,

Well I am waiting on my steamer. I got the twists freshend up. She darn near did the whole head but I am greatful. I am trying to make it for another 3 weeks.


Be looking out the first prize give away on Monday (Sunday for most of you) the first person to answer the trivia question will get the prize.
 
Hey yall. I was just past SL two days ago, but yesterday, I got a haircut in the salon, and got a bob. It's cute! But my hair is so much healthier now that I got all of my ends trimmed and I just feel really good! I've been transitioning for almost two months now, and I think that I should join this challenge!

Please add me to the pledge list!

I currently am using mega tek, and my hair is getting soooooo much fuller and thicker at the roots, and i am convinced that it is making my nails grow too. i will be getting MTG later on this month possibly. Thanks!
 
Ok i have a question to ask, i know we need to retain length so trimming is out the window for me but i do dust, would it be bad to not dust at all for the whole year?

If i see a split i cut it off! I'm protecting my ends as much as i can moisture and folding them in a bun. I know it will hurt to do a major trim at the end of the year.

What are your thoughts on no trimming/dusting?

TIA

Dusting and/or search and destroy are definitely necessary in my opinion! I want nice healthy ends when I reach my goals. Not scraggly ends with one strand at APL.

Lol :lachen: at the bolded, I hear you. Ok well i will continue with my dusting, i know some who have not trimmed for 1 yr+ i was just wondering if it was worth it.
 
I'm in braids until March (I'm 10 weeks post). I've been spraying my hair and scalp with Surge 14 and Hawaiian Silky 14 and 1, everyday. I'm thinking a homemade Ayurvedic scalp oil. I'm not sure if I'm going to get braids again or try a sew-in after I take these out.
 
ok, progress pics in siggy, and starter pic for this challenge is my February pic, I'm taking a break from braids, but will re-braid by the end of february. so far, the C&G method and OCT are working very well for me, and I've also started taking chlorella. I'm pushing to reach APL well before December, by any means neccessary:grin:!

Your hair color is fierce...I love it.
 
I'm still growing an hiding my hair. I'll posts some pics in this thread one of these weekends. I'm moving too fast to straighten my hair right now... :lol:
 
Ive finally been able to get onto the internet long enough to upload my picture for Jan 09! very late i know but hope its ok....pic in my siggy. My hairs very uneven (longer in the front and back, shorter on the sides), i think im shoulder length in the nape area and mayb in the front but just over ear length on the sides. Ive attached some pics.
I had a touch up maybe 3 weeks back. Im feeling a little down as my hairs starting to break again and worried this is going to be a set back. I really hope it isnt :nono:. Im running my fingers through my hair and strands are coming away, its more breakage than from the root. When i comb, short bits of hair are left on my tops. :sad: The week after my retouch i did the Aphogee keratin 2 min reconstructor and followed with a moisturising cond. I thought this would work but i hasnt. Im terrifed of protein as i once did the motions cpr and my hair was solid. Im thinking i should go to the salon and get a steam protein treatment. what should i do? any ideas ladies??
 
ok so ive tried to edit my profile to put my pic in my siggy but its not showing up. Il keep trying but il just attach them here.
