TAILBONE LENGTH CHALLENGE 2010

this is what happened!!!!

i go to MY FRIEND who cuts hair for a trim... a trim that was planned and talked about for almost 3 weeks lol.

i ask her to be honest and touch on my back where she thinks i need it cut (cause i felt like my ends were kinda of raggedy), now i was thinking "oh god she's gonna tell me like 3 inches i know it" but instead... she says "well if you want my total honesty, here.." and touches like the middle of my freakin neck!

now i know what you're thinking! at that point i should have said "no what, never mind" but instead i say "girl you're crazy! why would i do that?" and she says cause i have a lot of short hairs (sounds oddly like your blog right?) and i say no and then i take a piece of hair and show her like about 2 inches. she then grabs the same piece of hair, exactly where i left it and she says "ok, if that's what you want".

she proceeds to cut while we're talking and then she says she's done and i reach my hand back to feel my new crisp ends and WHAT??? I CANT FEEL MY HAIR! i then look at the floor and my jaw drops...

and that's how i got my 5, possibly 6 inch trim lol

OMG, sounds just like my blog, sorry that happened, my blog should be required longhair reading :lol: I've been through it, and seen and heard it from other long haired friends and sometimes they don't even realize they got played like that.

GOHWTBS!!! she did that, wow I guess you found who your silent jealous hater, tell her to get off the hateraid. When you grow your hair back out, swing it ALL UP in her face but don't let her get a hold of you or your hair eve again.
learn how to trim it yourself there's a lady who has TL red hair on Feye's site and she's been trimming her own hair for years and she's kept it all too.

lol yeah we still talk, our cubicles at work are right next to each other. but for like 4 days after i didnt talk to her and then we went like a month with out ever mentioning the hair cut. she knew that nite i was upset with how much she cut... not for the cut its self but because i was very clear as to what i wanted.

i actually wasnt really mad about the cut. after having so many bad cuts and crying over hair through out my life, once i almost hit hl and got that chop i was more like "man, now i have to start over". its like once i really learned how to take care of my hair, i knew it would grow back so it wasnt as devastating as past bad cuts you know? i dont know if that makes sense lol

we actually joke about it now. every time i see her with scissors i scream hair abuse... she threatens the rest of my friends with bad hair cuts...

she's still convinced that one day she'll be out somewhere and get jumped by a bunch of hair board chicks lmao

Don't laugh, that could still allegedly happen :sekret: :look:
 
Hi girls all I have to say is that you guys have gorgeous hair, and I can't wait till my hair reaches these lengths, and good luck on your hair growth journey.

OK! I'm sure she could be persuaded to see the word "trim" in a whole new light after some Diva Time with LHCF! :ninja: :hammer:

OMG!!! I am so upset for you! Your hair is still long and beautiful at the new length, but I can only imagine how much time and effort you put into growing your hair that long. in the first place I also had a friend sneak a trim in on me a few weeks ago. I let her relax my hair and firmly said, no trim, like I always do, but I know she did because I regularly take photos of my hair, and i should have been WL after my last relaxer.

I've done the Feye's trimming method before with great success, and I will continue to do so. I'm going for a minimum of 6 inches retention this year because I grew 9 inches last year, and hope to do that or better this year.

BUMP! :bump: How are my TBL challengers doing?

I am here, trying to fight off an oncoming cold. :perplexed

I started my day thinking I would go to the refridge and create some type of concoction to condition my hair, but didn't find anything spectacular....then remembered I have some products that should arrive by mail today. But, as the day has gone on, I feel more and more terrible and probably won't get to my hair today. :sad: I don't like being sick, and what a way to end up after getting the kids off to school after being snowed in since last Fri......:wallbash:

Oh well, when I get around to washing, I am going to do a new pic, I know I have had some growth.
I have been regular with my washing/DC....and I am a baggying FOOL! I love to bag my whole head, keeps my bun in tack, never have to comb my hair in the morning. Happy Hair Growing Everyone!
 
I forgot to post this. I rollerset over the weekend on my biggest rollers. My hair came to about an inch or so above my waist :)
 
Being sick sucks... I hope you feel better.

Eagerly awaiting your new pics!!!

biancaelyse, I envy your skill at rollersetting. Wish I could do it. I'm too feeble.

Ummmmm if you saw how my hair turned out, you would not be envious LOL!!

I'm getting better but I refuse to flat iron or blowdry my roots to get it sleeker.
 
Still here...had a bit of a set back..had to trim the evil split ends..:wallbash:Tried a new method and it went horribly wrong. Oh well should still make tailbone this year if there are not too many more set backs.....how every one else doing? Cheering all you ladies on ...WE CAN DO THIS!:gorgeous:
 
:bump: How is everyone's hair doing?

I've been experimenting with a simpler leave-in this week; just aloe vera juice mixed with shea butter and coconut oil, plus a drop of tea tree oil to improve the smell. My hair is oh so soft :yep: ... but so very frizzy too :nono:. Not quite the magic formula I had hoped for, :lol:.
 
So far so good...had a bit of trouble with spit ends, and had to redo my regime and so far it seem to be working...hopeful will see some length soon..


how's every one else doing?
 
Still here, not doing anything spectacular. Just oiling my scalp with castor oil two times a week, since I joined the castor oil challenge too.
 
I am coming along good. I can see some growth. Don't know how much, but will be posting pics next month.

Same routine, bunning and baggying, no heat, and still natural.

Have fun growing hair ladies.

I'm in. I'm hoping I can make it but I think my hair is not gonna get any longer than it already is. Since 2006 I don't see a real difference. It's still the same length today so i don't know what I'm doing wrong. Perhaps I need to stop cutting it :lol:

I can hope though :yep:

Same here........
 
Hi ladies!

I'm kinda at a crossroads here. My hair is getting long, and the last couple of times I've tried C&G braids I've ended up having to hang that up. It takes forever and a day, and I haven't found hair in a long enough length to look decent when I braid it.

I'm too whack to rollerset, and I don't want to be using heat all the time. I almost fell back into the weave trap but luckily fought off the urge :duck: I am dead tired of wearing a fake arse plastic wig. I don't know what to do.

I need to get up on some kind of protective styles that let me wear my own farking hair. If I have to touch a wig one more time I'm going to burn it. I was at the mall yesterday feeling like a straight fool. Wearing a $15 wig looking a HAM while other chicks have their hair (shorter than mine) out flossing. Sigh.

Maybe I can try some buns... I have the Hairdini that helps roll the hair into place. I'm thinking about air-drying in bantus... dunno what to do but I am at an impasse.

You could try a sock bun, there's tutorials on YT for all these styles, that braid-out you did in the pics looked good, messy bun, or french chignon. If you're tired of PS all toghether then just wear it down for 2 days then ponytail it. hth

I am waiting to post my updates from the 3/21 length check update in the HL challenge. I am still in both. I have had some noticeable growth.

Nothing new, I still whole head baggy nightly. Using up a bunch of products.
 
Ok Ladies.... I think I am officially ready to join the Tailbone Length Challenge since the left side of my hair is now gracing HL and has finally decided to catch up with the right side. But I won't post a pic until my update picture for the HL Challenge. This way I can do both at the same time. I excited, it's like graduation :lachen:We are progressing together!:yep:
 
Let's keep our scalps relaxed so we can achieve this GOAL!!!!!!:grin:

Scalp Relaxation
From http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art189.asp
By Bella's Online Hair Editor

Quote from the article "Are you overwhelmed by the business of life? The stress of it causes you become tense and even your scalp becomes tight. That tight scalp inhibits circulation and is hindrance to healthy hair growth."

This article contains detail instructions for scalp massage used by the "salon experts"..... I think we can do just as good and make our hair reach it's goal!:yep:
 
Very good reminders for achieving our goals!!!:yep:

Thicker and Healthier Hair
From http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art1798.asp

By Bella's Online Hair Editor

Quote from the article "Have you ever made a self-improvement resolution? Was it organizing your closets, losing weight, or maybe giving up smoking? How about getting your hair back in tiptop condition? This is a resolution that doesn’t involve breaking a sweat or feeling deprived.

Exactly what is the prescription for getting rid of dry brittle hair and growing shiny, bouncy hair? Lets look at some factors of hair health.
Healthy hair starts from the inside, at the root of each follicle, the blood supply that feeds it and the nutrients we consume play an important part of the process."

So let's keep our eye on the PRIZE! So we can get there :cowgirl: and :dance7:........:woot:
