I will definitely join this challenge. This is my first set of goals.

How long is my hair now? After a big trim, it's a little past shoulder length

Have you ever been shoulder/armpit length before?. The longest my hair has ever been has was mid back length (like between shoulder blade). Never armpit length

What special regimens or treatments are you doing to help you reach your goal?

I am washing weekly
Using no heat except for flat ironing my roots only at 5 weeks post relaxer
Roller setting and allowing to air dry or dry on cool under the dryer
Using my homemade creamy leave in conditioner and hair dress
deep conditioning weekly
protein treatments every 4 weeks
Dusting every 8-10 weeks (whenever I relax)
Relaxing every 8-10 weeks

Hi everybody,
I am new to posting, but have been lurking in this forum for quite some time.
Count me in on this challenge.
How Long is Your Hair Now? My hair is chin-(in the fron)to neck length (in the back)
Have You Ever Been Shoulder/Armpit length before? When I was in elementary school it was shoulder length--cut it and have been plagued by damage (coloring and relaxer and overall heat appliance abuse)
What special regimens or treatments for length? I use v. little heat and more conditioning treatments

Since I've been lurking, I've learned so much about how to better care for my hair. I think this forum is the greatest.

This challenge is great sweetpeadst b/c I am no where near brastrap by 2006.

How long is your hair now? My hair is currently about 2-3 inches past shoulder length.

Have you ever been shoulder/armpit length before? Yes, my babysitter decides she wants to play with my long think hair and adds gel to it to hold whatever style she was doing. Me being about 11 years old I comb through my hair thinking that its ok....NOT...my hair hasn't been the same since.

What special regimens or treatments are you doing to help you reach your goal? So far i am 8 weeks post relaxer trying to stretch to 12. My regimen consists of at least 2 CO washes a week and a deep conditioning treatment/ Lite Protein treatment w/ Elasta Breakage control serum with heat on Saturdays. Still popping vitamins to speed up the growth. Hopefully I will reach armpit length by Christmas also!

I think I can make armpit by the end of 2005, beginning of 2006...did I misread again?
Did SP mean the end of 2006? If so, I'll be a cheerleader anyway

 

[PatTodd]

Count me in!

How long is your hair now? Mid-neck

Have you ever been shoulder/armpit length before? I was a little longer than shoulder length when I got married eight years ago and shoulder length when I had my son five years ago...been chopping it into a bob every summer since then.

What special regimens or treatments are you doing to help you reach your goal? Vitamins right now: 1500 mg alfalfa, 1500 mg B-5, and a prenatal vitamin (not really for hair though). CW or rinse 3-4 times a week, and deep condition every Sunday. Just started MTG last night...want to every other night but am afraid my family will complain about the smell!

I love this forum! I am hoping to get to shoulder length by the end of this year, and maybe collarbone length by my one-year LHCF anniversary (March 2006).

LOL...that's a good question...I'm shooting for armpit length by the end of 2005...but dang...maybe I need to be up on here too in case my usual summer growth spurt doesn't show up...then I can fall into the early 2006 category.

I can also be a cheerleader as well.

Okay, SP....me and Webby are on here too (to cover our behinds) and for support...lol...

eta: okay...I had to go back and re-read SP original post...she is trying to make armpit length...by December....of THIS year for her birthday....so she can ring in 2006...with that length

okay, seeeeeee....

we're already on the 2005 thread for that goal...but...I guess if we spill into 2006...we're covered...

and this is good for everyone who are approaching shoulder this year...keep the encouragement up to make armpit in 2006.

but this thread is a good back up...

I thought you were saying that you were going to be Brastrap by 2006!!

 

[sweetpeadst]

My bad come to think of it I may be on that thread!!! BUt I was just reading the other thread and got jelly and wanted me a thread for my hair goals sorry!!!

 

[MonaLisa]

I thought you were saying that you were going to be Brastrap by 2006!!

I'm laughing....I did say that...um huh...

There is a shoulder/armpit thread I started for 2005...I'm trying to get to armpit by December 2005. There was only a BSL in 2005 at that time...I was like what about the rest of us? lol.


I'm shooting for Bra Strap for 2006....that goes all da way to December 2006 to achieve that....


But this was a good thread idea...cause there are a lot I'm sure that are trying to get to shoulder and armpit in 2006..so ur good!

 

[senimoni]

Yeah I was confused by that too. I think I will get BSL in 2006 but not by 2006.

 

[shellzfoshizzle]

I'm confused as usual, so is this challenge up and running or is it the other one that someone else already started?

 

[MonaLisa]

I'm sure SP will follow up...

but I would think that yes, this challenge is in effect if your goal is to reach
shoulder/armpit in 2006 (the range would be Jan-Dec 2006 to reach goal length)
