OFFICIAL SL 2009 HAIR CHALLENGE.........

[wish4length]

I'm soooo close....

 

[jaded_faerie]

Its been going great so far. the front of my hair has grown from above my eyebrow to my eyelids..which is amazing for me, cause my front grows super slow. I haven't texturized in about 3 months and will probably stretch until May (1 year anni since BC). I'm DC 3x a week and wetting hair as often as possible.

**My digital camera randomly died on me last month, but I should have one by Feb.

[beans4reezy]

I am currently, Washing and DC'ing 2x a week
moisturizing daily with profectiv anti-breakage and Hairveda Shea Butter
Using a MegaTek/Haitian Castor Oil/Bee Mine Mix
A lot of NG :YAYYYY ...but A LOT of tangles:BOOOO!!!! I didn't want to do it, but I am going to have to get cornrows.


Here is where I am now....I think I need maybe three inches before I can really claim SL: what do you ladies think? Sorry about the size!!

 

[jazzzmoods]

Excellent! My birthday is in June also! And this is a great goal and will help keep me on track for APL by EOY 2009! with a 6 month goal of SL by June 2009!!!

>My current length is a chin length bob with bangs just below my eyebrows
>I just started using MT and also ordered OCT
>I deep condition with Carols Daughter Tui Smoothie
>I use Fekkai Glossing cream with olive Oil for shine and moisture
>I still blow dry and flat iron (bad me) as I cannot figure out a protective style for my length
>I am 4 weeks into my first 8-10 week stretch.....realising that I must have been relaxing every 4 weeks because the current amount of growth is typically when I pulled out my relaxer and hit-up my roots in the past
>I am planning to switch to Phyto Relaxer in 2009

Thanks!!!

[kiarai]

Hey thanks for adding me to the challenge.

I've just joined LHCF. My hair is really short at the back and longer at the front like an inverse bob. I have a few tracks in to bulk up the volume (I like big hair).

I’m going to take them out in 2 weeks time and bump up my regimen. I currently wash with Mizani Botanifying Shampoo and deep condition with Organic Root Stimulator.

I’m using Mizani H20 Night-time treatment and Rose H20 Conditioning Hairdress to moisturise and I've started to use a little almond oil on my ends.

I’m gonna start co-washing once I take my tracks out. Washing with the tracks makes them loose and I think it pulls at my already weak hair.

I don’t really know how to style my short hair and would welcome and advice from others.

Commence growing long hair……….now! lol

I would like to join this challenge. hope its not too late. To join do i just post to the thread the answers to the questions. (im very new to posting) thanks

Hello ~
I need help:
I've took out my kinky twist last night and notice that the front and sides of my hair is very, very short and uneven however the middle and back has lots of new growth.
I will be getting a relaxer on Feb 7th and I know my stylist will want to cut all of my hair to even it up...do you think that with the proper care I will give it that the front and back can grow back with out a big cut? The back is just touching the tops of my shoulders. Please like me know your thoughts should I get it cut or what additional help can I get to grow the front back out? will try and get pictures uploaded after work or sometime this weekend.

 

[LaidBak]

I forgot that I was supposed to post on the 15th. Progress pics are in siggy. Its hard to see, but the collar on that shirt is one inch wide. Looking at the larger pics on my computer I can see that I got back about 3/4 of an inch. The part you can't see is that my sides are finally keeping up with the back. That never happened before. If I can avoid any more set backs I should be able to complete this challenge ahead of schedule.

Update posted, I'm touching

So this isn't SL???

i was thinking the same thing when i saw her post. i thought this challenge was for those who are trying to get sl and/or fsl

kurly k, i'm not trying to hand out boots but, girl you need to be in the apl challenge...your psl.

 

[AtlantaJJ]

One of these days soon I am going to blow dry and flat iron my hair to see where I actually am in this challenge. I know I need to get a bout 1/2 to 1 inch trimmed too....

Right now I'm just washing DCing and braiding my hair and wearing it under a Lace Front wig. I don't even know how long it is myself because I'm doing the very low manipulation (low mani), protective styling. I have been focused on my body / working out and cooking is next, so the hair is on the back burner in terms of styling until the spring.

I'm in this challenge, I'm just hiding my hair for now I am at least at collar bone stretched. I'll post pictures eventually.

 

[alopeciagrl]

Hello Ladies I'm finally checking in w/ my "PROOF" ...lol!

My progress is in my signature Pikistrip in which I've been working all throughout the day.

Everyone have a goodnight and may your hair grow magically throughout the night.

I didn't realize the small pics would be so hard to view the first pics are from 12.6.08 and the second column is from last week 1.19.09 (45 days)

Update: Still in kinkies (Week 5). I'm on track be full SL by June (10 inches). I started eating better and working out last week so hopefully that gives me a push. I'll go back into kinkies after I take this set down.
