bebezazueta Thank you ma'am! I'm with you on the weight loss. I've been running with BGR and my hair has taken a back seat. It will be nice to go run Sat with my ponytail swinging:lol:
 
Sooooooooo......here is my 8 month update.....I am sad to say I will NOT be making it to w"hip" length this year as my hair is growing at a snails pace:nono:.....but I figured I would show you lovely ladies the progress I made since November...I added another pic in my album but I can't figure out how to get it onto this post, sorry

Hey Ladies - I haven't posted any update pics because I've been struggling with another bout of severe shedding and breakage. Crazy shedding that I thought was menopause hormone related. At the same time, I now have short frizzy curls (3") all over my head from last october's crazy shedding and mid-strand breakage.

Add to that the 1.5-2" trim I did in early april and my hair looks stuck at 1" away from WHip/Hip.

Once I stopped the pity party, I admitted that my reggie is lacking. I did a bkt in april -- lasted 2 weeks -- but haven't DC'd since, haven't baggied at nite, and haven't been adding glyercine to my daily H2O spritz.

I broke down and bought Kerastase DC -- my hair loves it -- and added glycerine to my spritz. One week later and the breakage has slowed down alot. Shedding may be a fact of life until my hormones calm down.

My bigger issue is with all the shedding, my hair is so thin. What's the point growing it to tailbone if it's so thin? I'd cut it back to BSL except it would shrink to my collarbone.

In a pickle ... so I'm bunning and trying to get the NG to lay flat.

Wait that's half of your hair down?! Your thickness is insane! You are well on your way and doing a great job rririla
 
regina07 I'm sure you'll thicken back up nicely. Sometimes our hair goes through those stages. Don't cut back to BSL please just gradually trim as you grow to TBL & beyond! Can't wait to see your results
 
Alright ladies, I flat ironed my hair and took a length photo. I've gotten some growth since my december picture but I'm still quite far from my goal. I usually see a growth spurt at the end of the summer/fall. So I'm going to still hang out in this challenge and we'll see how close I can get by the end of the year.

Hello, everyone,
I know this update is very late but these are my length check pics from when I had my hair straightened for my graduation in June. Sorry about the black shirt - hopefully you can still see where my hair falls. I think (hope!!) I have finally reached WHIP length! :spinning: :drunk:

I cut an inch off to even my ends up. I am now 2.5" from HL but my hair looks so much healthier and the ends look much better. I am currently WL and should be HL or W'HIP by the end of the year.
