I concur. So..... what's the game plan. I'm doing vitamins, H2O, protein shakes and exercise 
to reach my WL goal by Dec 2012.

I'm getting pretty impatient with my hair. Scissors look awfully enticing these days.

I would like to join 
! I am a newbie to LHCF (although I've been trolling for more or less two years ) and I am currently MBL. I hope to make WL by the beginning or end of summer.
I've recently been playing around with products, but my regimen is basically:
wash 1x a week (currently using Shea Moisture sulfate-free shampoo)
DC at least 1x a week with ORS Replenishing Conditioner (staple light protein)
dust every 6-8 weeks
M&S with water, NTM Leave In, and fractionated coconut oil at least 1x a day
protective style 90% of time
cowash every so often (in the colder months it's whenever i feel like it, but in the really hot months i end up cowashing almost every day)
oh, and i'm 4b/c relaxed. my longest stretch has been 18 weeks. hope that's everything!

I had a baby 3 months ago and now the post baby shed has hit :-(. This shouldn't effect my length or progress getting to WL but I'm hoping it doesn't totally destroy my thickness. I will be doing a length check either today or tomorrow so I'll update my signature picture when I do.

My bangs seem to be splitting, I dont know why there is a resurgence of split ends. I did a dusting last night as well as an amla, brahmi treatment and cowashed with Shea Moisture Restorative conditioner and then left some in and sealed with Safflower oil. I'm thinking the last two months when I was on the beach and not taking care of my hair must have really damaged my ends. I hope to take a progress pic in March and see some growth.. le siggh

I updated my siggy with my 2 month length check. Surprisingly it looks like its thicker but I think that's because I only straightened on 342 degrees this time instead of my usual 400+, so my strands aren't bone straight. This is why I asked my hubby to pull it to show the true length.
Anyway I'm right on target with where I wanted to be so I'm happy. Hopefully by April I'll be an inch past BSL.
HHJ everyone!

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.

I'm still protective styling and using sulfur to get some strands to WL by the end of the year. I have my eye on the prize!

So I did another trim like 2 days ago to even some hair up and I'm hoping I didnt cut off to much progress. I'll be taking a pic at the end of this month.

This year is going by pretty fast. Almost April. Can't wait to do a length check in June. Finally controlled my breakage from my last relaxer. Hopefully I can retain something by June. Then I can tell if WL will happen this year for me or not. HHG!!

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.

I've reached bsl. I don't know if I'm going to make it to wl by Dec but I'm going to try to get as close as possible.

I was going to maintain at WL to even up my W shaped hem line but as my hair gets closer to WL I am leaning towards evening it up later... I just stretched and the points of my W are about 1 inch from WL.
Yes I think that's what I'm going to do, I might get a good trim at the end of the year.
I actually tried to take pictures last week but I dropped my camera and now its a paper weight
I hope you ladies are haveing a good end of the week!

I did a trim last month. I can't tell if there is lots of growth because I'm avoiding heat. I got heat damage from a salon visit back in November so now my twists and twistouts look like crap. I have to keep babying my hair, gradually grow it out, and trim away the damage.
I'll do an update photo in June. For now, it's lots of deep conditioning and protective styling.

Relaxer update!!! I got a relaxer today after 18weeks (4.5 months) and i'm so excited about the progress. 3inches in 4.5months. I went from the 9 to the 12. I'll take straight pics next time i wash, but i got it curled after the relaxer. I'm exactly 1in from WL (the 13 on the shirt). Can't wait!
