Catching up with the goings on in this thread.
claud-uk you've made such wonderful progress. All those positive changes you made really paid off! Its very inspiring!
I've been dealing with setbacks all year. I still have an area of breakage in the back to contend with, but I'm doing OK. I've trimmed my hair several times since I joined this challenge in January. The last time I trimmed was in April.
Trying to attach pictures, but the mobile app keeps crashing when I do. I'll add some later.
ETA: OK I've managed to attach the one from my trim in April.

Hi LaidBak, pleased to meet you, thank you very much for your kind words. Your hair looked healthy in the April pic and now it looks much longer and even healthier come June
what's the deal?!I'm sat here as we speak just finished a bowl of Alpen and now having some cashew nuts - nearly time for my protein shake

Lovely to meet you as well. I managed to do a pretty decent blunt self-trim at the end of April. Between the two pics I just took my supplements and sealed my ends nightly. I'm trying to keep it simple and be consistent.

I trimmed my hair like a couple of weeks ago (1/4''), i guess that's dusting? I'm pretty I have reached shoulder length. The front of my hair reaches below my collarbone, and the back of my hair is past my shoulders. My 1 year heat ban is over this week, but I'm not sure when I will finally blow-dry/flat-iron it.

Still holding on to neck length and should be touching SL maybe the middle part of next year. I had so many setbacks in the last few months of last year and the first 4 months of this year.
Aggie I'm sorry that you experience a few set backs
What do you think led to your setbacks in the past few months?

Sorry for your set backs ma'am. Hopefully you have an idea as to what caused them and have a better control over it now. You will reach SL whether its this year or next so don't give up!

Checking in, will be doing a WGO overnight pre-poo, thinking of changing my weekly regi a little:
Ceramide Oil + Honey* pre-poo
Keracare Humecto DC*
Protein Tt And/OR Poo as required
Oil Rinse*
CON AO DC
* = new steps
Currently 5" to go until my shortest length reaches CBL. Estimate this will take 6 months at my slowest growth rate or 3.5 months at my recent growth rate. (Don't even want to think about trimming right now but it's inevitable
!)

Did a WGO + Sunflower Oil + Honey prepoo overnight, washed with cheapie clarifying poo to ends + M&T Deep Moisturizing poo to scalp this morning, then applied my Daily Fixx fatty acid treatment for 5 mins. Now doing a DC with Keracare Humecto + CON AO Con + WGO mixed.

Judging by my hair's growth rate, I believe my hair on the side (above the ear) will be shoulder length by the end of 2012. However, I would like ALL of my hair to be shoulder length--including in the front (bangs area) and the hair at the very top of my head--I would like it to stretch all the way down to my shoulders. However, it may be December 2013 before that happens.
