Sooo, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to stand growing to TBL, but I would like to say that I'm now 100% on the wagon. This girl at work, who cut her hair yesterday to BSL, had beautiful TBL hair for the past few months and it was beautiful. I definitely I'm going to have to learn how some cute style to do with my hair. I think that's partially why I've lost my interest lately. Can anyone recommend any good natural hairstyle websites?

Maybe try some medium twists you can pullthem back into anponytail or bun for work and if you want to wear it out you'll have a nice twistout.
If you want some styles Richeau and HairCrush on YouTube wear twists. I'm looking into other low mani styles besides my daily bun. I'm kind of getting restless HHG

Sorry for the delay, but here are my update photos.
I am still V cut, but turning in to a U. I have a half updo, and about 40% shrinkage. So, there is about a quarter size length not shown. I am grazing at hip length again, and will probably be there at the end of the year... Not quite CRAKIN yet, but it's all good. My baby girl is also grazing - we have the same do' right now.

here it is...
Watercress good for hairgrowth, check out the vitamins.
http://len7288.hubpages.com/hub/Health-Benefits-of-Watercress
Watercress is among the most highly nutritious vegetable, many of the great herbalists wrote of the revitalizing power of watercress. The health benefits of watercress are attributed to its nutrient content. Watercress is an excellent source of vitamins B1, B2, B6, C, E, manganese, and carotenes. It also a good source of calcium, fiber, iron and copper. Watercress livens up raw salad and it also makes a valuable juice. Watercress juice is a green juice and must not be consumed alone. It also tastes bitter and is much easier to swallow if mixed with carrot, potato, and a little parsley or carrot, spinach, and turnip leaves. For optimal health benefits, eat watercress raw and as fresh as possible.
Health Benefits:
Watercress contains anticancer properties.
Watercress helps protect the eyes because it contains a high level of two carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin.
Watercress helps to normalize cholesterol and blood pressure.
Watercress increases sexual energy and enhances fertility.
Watercress can help improved memory, mental function and to retard ageing.
Watercress is a powerful cleanser of the body, especially the bloodstream.
Watercress can help increase production of breast milk.
watercress salad
Watercress is low in calories and high in potassium which is valued for weight loss, as its diuretic action draws excess fluid down and out of the body.
Watercress helps improve digestion by regulating the flow of bile.
Watercress is valued for clearing and improving the complexion.
The chlorophyll-rich leaves are chewed to absorb breath odors.
Chewing raw watercress leaves can cure bleeding gums.
Watercress leaves are used as a poultice for the relief of enlarged prostate gland. The poultice can also treat swollen feet and sprained ankles.
Watercress is a good source of iodine, which is important to the function of the thyroid gland.
Watercress is rich calcium which can strengthen the bones and teeth.
Buying and storing: Buy fresh-looking greens with springy leaves that show no evidence of wilting and yellowing. Store it in large plastic bags in the refrigerator for two or three days.

Hi ladies doing an early end of year check in.
Happy to see so many ladies making goal with lovely heads of hair.
Well my braids are working out for me. I can keep up with it better. I had reported I was growing out after a exteme shedding that lasted 4 years.
I also was at terminal at upper tailbone or so I thought. There has been some length achieved but not sure if it is going to really become full or if it is going to be the point of my fairy tail ends. Feb 2012 will be a year after the shedding really stopped so I will wait til then to report if there is really a significant addition to my length.
So for now I will be a member of tailbone challenges working for fullness. My siggy is updated with a recent photo.
Here is one of my bun.
Congrats to all who made goal this year. On to the next length.

I am a bit confused,
I saw a new thread for TBL 2012. Is that one for the lower tailbone and this thread is for upper tailbone or bum cleavage?

Well since I have layers I will stay with this challenge to achieve upper tailbone/bum cleavage with my crown hairs. They are currently ranging from waist to almost hip. I also joined the TBL 2012 to nurture my fairytale ends at lower tailbone.
So onward we go ladies.

I just checked out that thread they didn't make that disictinction but thats a good question. But this thread is just continuing so it doesn't matter if you're on both. Besides were only checking in twice a year now.

Very lovely! congrats. Well there is upper and lower tail bone calls on the hair sites so it depends on what you want to use as a marker. Either way you made it to that regionI have also heard a new level of lower hip length. It does help to have frequent places to stop and say " ah I have made progress".. So congrats again and on to lower hip then Claaaassic!
