W"HIP" Length 2012 Challenge!

[DesignerCurls]

Just checking in! Haven't been here in awhile.

I was right at MBL but the shedding was horrible. So a few days ago I did a light protein & DC treatments and decided to dust my ends...on unstretched hair! I hope I didn't take too much off. I will PS in twist for the rest of this month. I might do another DC treatment before I put my twist in. I will do a official length check at the end of March.

HHG ladies!

^^^^ Don't feel bad, I always dust on unstretched hair and in sections at that. Never seemed to make a noticable difference.

Hey y'all - checking in with an "unofficial may as well make it official" length check. I didn't realize it's exactly 3 months since my last length check (11/26/11).

Initially I was disappointed because I didn't think there was any change but when I looked at today's pic v my siggy pic, I see there is. And my hair is only 80% flat ironed

What pleases me is my hair is catching up with the lead hairs from Nov '11. Overall, the condition of my hair is amazing --- I don't recall it ever being so soft or silky; I have minimal breakage and normal shedding (normal for me) and I have a simple routine that works for me.

On to "W"Hip!

Just an update ladies! I'm 10weeks post right now and I've gotten a good amount of growth. I blow-dried and flat-ironed as best I could. I wore it out for the weekend and now its cornrowed up again. I'm planning a 6month relaxer stretch. I've been wearing cornrows (no extensions) since Jan 1 and washing and redoing them every week.

Just updating briefly. I'm 4months post relaxer. Still have my hair in braids. I'm relaxing at the end of the month. Can't wait!!! My hair has grown a lot in 4months. I'll do an official length check after my relaxer. But I was redoing my braids last night and was pleasantly surprised at my length.

Sorry I've been absent! Been on this weightloss journey and been doing nothing to my hair but cowashing & bunning!

But I would like to add that eating more fruits and veggies and exercising 6 days a week has made my hair GROW & THICKEN more than all the hair vitamins, growth aids put together! I wasted my money on that stuff! LOL!

Getting my relaxer later on so I'll be back with pics. 15 weeks post feel like 24 weeks post!

 

[bebezazueta]

:kewlpics: loving the length checks in this thread. :blowkiss:

 

[LaVgirl]

My first natural length check of the year. I'm a little surprised at my progress as well (especially since I haven't given it the best of care this year) ... it pulls down to the same length (maybe a little longer) as my hair was when it was straightened in January.

 

[Aicer]

LaVgirl pretty texture! What's your regimen and how do you usually style your hair?

 

[DesignerCurls]

LaVgirl your hair looks so healthy! very pretty!

 

[winnettag]

Subscribing!
I really need some hairspiration.
I've been neglecting my hair badly...no regimen at all.
You ladies are doing great!

bebezazueta, *Smiles* Yes I'm back! It's nice to be back, I've missed you too! How is your hair journey coming along? ​

 

[PeculiarDaye]

LaVgirl, beautiful hair, and it is looking healthy. Give yourself a pat on the back you've done an amazing job ​

 

[LaVgirl]

Aicer I do my best to stick as best I can to this regimen but I sometimes don't do exactly this. During the cold months, I wash my hair with shampoo every 1-2 weeks. And in the warmer months, I shampoo every 2-3 weeks with lots of co-washes or daily water rinses in between. I usually detangle when I wash, either with my fingers or a wide tooth comb and/or Denman brush. Deep condition before or after every shampoo.
Moisturize with my homemade leave-in conditioner, air dry and a protective style (usually large twists in a bun). Re-moisturize every 3 days or whenever I feel my hair needs it. During warm weather, I do more out styles though (a puff, braid-out, etc.)
