SHOULDER LENGTH 2011 CHALLENGE!

[faithVA]

I want a hair twin dangit!

Don't they have a hair twin thread from days of yore (yeah I said yore). Maybe you can revive that thread. I am sure there are a lot of new people on the board since then that may be looking for the same.

I think I am over my hair hissy fit. I went steppin all this weekend and didn't have time to think about my hair. Now I'm back and too tired to care about my hair. Just the hair distraction I needed.

I wore my loc socs all weekend which just make my hair and my outfits look good. I think I will buy some more to get me over the next few months.

oooh and I found great scarves at Catos for $5.99 (with beautiful colors). That gives me an idea. I will buy myself 2 new scarves when I make it through my two weeks with my hair up.

Good idea. I haven't seen that thread in rotation for a while. Maybe I can have someone take some decent pics of my hair this weekend and post them on there.

I have a lil weekend style w/ a some up and some down updo w/ lil side bangs. I'm sure I'll wear it again this weekend for Easter and take pics. It was too cute and got me even more excited about my progress.

I would suggest to use even a cheep condish next time so that you can retain the moisture
I think I would echo what faithVA wrote. Personally I want to look infront of the mirror and see the hair behind my ears touching my shoulders comfortably. Good luck @cadi and pls dont forget to post pics when you claim SL.

I dont measure my hair coz I have layers from my last minichop in october and its so confusing for me. and way like i said FaithVA answered your questions very well. Happy growing

I think ill do that next time i have lots of Abury conds though but i felt lazy
i think you are very close to shoulder length you have very good progress (mashallah)
last month i started bone marrow to speed up my hair growth coz i noticed it didn't grow that much in winter
Happy growing to you as well

Not yet, but one may pop up starting around October or so.

Thank You! But girl your head can not be bigger than mine . Maybe we should seriously start a thread for big head support and long neck support.

My style is out of pure necessity. The front of my hair does not hang forward and is to short to go back. And the back of my hair, although 7", curls up into little beady balls and never passes my nape. So out of desparation I wrap a scarf or band or loc soc around the perimeter.

It's all about finding what works for you.

Any luck finding that hair twin thread? I tried using the search feature from my phone but couldn't find it. How do you determine your hair twin anyway?

Here is one of the hair twin threads. (Hair Twins Unite)

I didn't read it yet so can't answer your other question. But the answer is probably in the thread.

Nope...haven't started my search for my long lost twin yet lol. I bumped the naked hair thread so that way you can compare your hair texture to that of someone else in there. No product in the hair makes it SO much better to find a twin without the hair being manipulated.

I would like to know as well. I missed the sign up for the APL 2011 thread, so I joined up as an unofficial member. I'll be on top of my game for the 2012 sign up though....

@ Ravengirl.. Congratulations on making SL...

 

[NikkiQ]

Is anyone planning on doing a length check for Easter? I think I'm going to flat iron my hair this weekend for the first time since being natural and I'm PRAYING it doesn't revert the second I'm done.

Yep, I'm relaxing on Saturday, so hopefully I'll have some progress to show ::fingers crossed::

congrats to you as well!

 

[Missjae09]

Imani yes, I think we have similar textures HOWEVER, your hair looks MUCH thicker than mine... seriously. Yeah, I just left your fotki! lol Love the progress you've made!! Looking at your fotki makes me see I have a llloonnnnggg way to go!

@Missjae09 I need to look back at your fotki. I think our hair may be similar.

eta: I think my hair is a lot kinkier than urs. But looks like similar density/thickness.

 

[carnivalapple]

My first time checking in....guess I'm not so good with challenges^^;

Hmm...I don't see much growth but thats probably because I'm obsessing about it, so I'm gonna get kinky twists two times through Spring and summer and hopefully see shoulder length by fall.

Congrats on everyone's progress. Looks really good.

Missjae09 Um, no the thickness is an illusion . When its straight, its strategically styled with minimal product. And it looks thick when its natural bc of how kinky it is.

You don't have far to go at all! You'll be SL before you know it.

 

[Imani]

Did I miss anyone's name to add to the graduates list?

 

[Missjae09]

Don't forget your own!!!

[Missjae09]

When i'm straight I don't use much product either because the more product you have the less body you have, and we love as much swing as we can get! a very light leave in and heat protectant and I'm good to go!

[NikkiQ]

How often do you ladies straighten your hair?

 

[faithVA]

Congratulations April graduates. :reddancer: We still have a few more days in April so maybe we will have a few more.

I didn't realize we had so many challengers. Fantastic!

 

[NikkiQ]

I hope to be a July graduate

>> Bumping this: Where is / when is the sign up? I'd like to join the challenge too! (I'm apart of the "It grew, I colored, It left" crew. Transitioning and starting ova!)

 

[Chiquitita]

I celebrated my one year nappiversary on April 10 and I have yet to straighten. Hopefully, I can hold out till December just to see how much length I can retain by then.

Hey! You can still join. As of now, the list of challengers is not so long that its too hard to manage/keep up with. So its still open for now.

Just post your answers to the questions in the OP, esp your goal date. And a starting pic if you'd like.

 

[Imani]

Don't forget your own!!!

Lol! Not yet! Judgement day is next Saturday. I'm up here trying to double up on this Nioxin to get last minute growth in

I know for a fact I won't be meeting my goal of 8 inches. But I'm thinking if I'm at 7.5 maybe I can still make it just barely.
