Shoulder Length in 2010 Challenge!!!

Hey Ladies,

I have a two year update in the Pikistrip. I am claiming SL!!! Im not full SL yet so im still in the challenge.
HHG!
 
I haven't done a length check yet, but I have about 3" of NG which is a record for me b/c I'm only around 12 weeks post!!! :woot:

i wish they were showing the same body dimensions, but i can't seem to be consistent with that. note to self: look at old progress pics before taking new ones.:look:
what do y'all think?? i still don't consider myself full shoulder length-probably won't make that till the fall or even winter. :nono:

It looks like u would be flirting with shoulder if it were pressed straight
 
Can someone tell me if I'm shoulder length or not. If not I would like to join this challenge. I hope this pic works

bumping!! how's everyone doing on this challenge??
i want us to be as active as the ladies in the APL challenge-i'm lowkey jealous of the camaraderie they have over there.:look::grin:

jazzypha85, i think you have a few more inches to go-welcome aboard!!
 
I'm late due to a setback but im in....I was in the APL but my right side wanted to be whoopin the left side's arse in length so I had to even it out and ended up back at full NL.
 
My hair is in kinky twists extensions right now. I am nervous bc I rarely ever do braids.I know some people it helps and some it sets them back :nervous2:

I plan to keep them for only 4 to 5 weeks. I might take some more pics when I come out of the braids.

On a note totally unrelated to this challenge, I sent my mother a pic of my freshly shampoo'd hair (I'm transitioning) and she said it looked like a jherri curl gone bad:blush:

well, if anything goes wrong and they don't agree with your hair, at least you're not keeping them in too long anyways.:yep:

lol, my mom makes the same types of comments when i used to use like ecostyler for highly shingled wash and goes..

Yea, I neeeeever have been one to keep braids in forever. the few times I got micros back in the day I think the longest I would keep them would be 7 weeks.

I get where she is coming from with the jherri curl comments. Even to myself, my hair now seems different than my natural hair when I was little. I don't remember any coils at all and it seemed rougher. Maybe its bc it wasn't properly moisturized. I dunno.

Btw, my mom has been natural for over 20 years, but she doesn't deep condition or use alot of moisturizers and different products like most of us do on here. Just castille soap and natural oils, maybe some of that Sta-soft afro spray(I can't remember the exact name, but its old school in the light brown bottle) and grease. She also never ever straightens her hair, ever, not once has she straightened it in over 20 years. So to her, the extra moisturized, "juicy" looking, heat stretched natural hair looks "weird".
 
Enjoying my kinky twists! I'm really liking the different look. I was so tired of my straight hair look.

Can't wait to see where I am when I come out. And contemplating if I will trim or not.
 
Recently got an install done and plan on keeping it in for at least 3-4 weeks. When I did my length check last week, I was just BARELY grazing the top of my shoulders so hopefully by the end of the year I'll be there. :woot:
 
So I was examining and drawing lines on some of my progress pics (yeah I know, I'm obsessed!) and I realized that with my scoliosis one of my shoulders is substantially higher than the other one. I couldn't help but wonder...so at which shoulder do I claim shoulder length, the higher one or the lower one? :lachen: :lachen::lachen:

To be fair, I think I'll wait til the lower one to really claim it.
 
I would love to join this challenge!!! I've included a pic of my current length...

excuse me if this is a silly question, but which is longer CBL or SL? it seems like people claim shoulder length when their hair is well down their back. The difference between NL, SL, and CBL is quite confusing to me (according to lhcf stds anyway).

SL is longer...NL to CBL to SL...
 
Does anyone in here ever do twist outs or braid outs? I want to try it, but wonder if it will look cute with my hair so short.
 
^^^I used to do Bantu knots when my hair was shorter and at first it looked like a TWA, but after a day or 2 it would fall just right. You can always give a try on Friday night and if you don't like the way the twist/braid outs look, a nice DC will wash it all away :yep:
