Waist Length 2012 Challenge

Well my new years resolution was to stry taking a multivitamin daily. Just a regular adult one a day vitamin. Additionally, I kept my hair cornrowed (no extensions) for 90% of the 4.5 months. I just redid them weekly one by one. So minimal manipulation because I didn't have to comb thru my hair in mass when I redid them. So I think the vitamins helped with the growth and the braids helped with the retention. I noticed in the first month of taking the vitamins, my new growth was more than the usual month. They aren't even hair vitamins. Maybe I was deficient is something lol. As far as products, I stuck with Joico moisture recovery shampoo and conditioner, Aubrey organic GBP for protein dc, Neutrogena Triple moisture leave in mixed with one and only Argan oil. And lots of praying! Lol

I was supposed to do a length check on the 19th but I put it off until this Sunday frankly because I'm dreading it. This post-natal pregnancy shed has been terrible.....coming out by the handfuls! More than ever in my life.

I'm really hoping I didn't have a set back and I don't have to do a major trim. I'll update my signature picture after my length check on Sunday.
 
I didn't update my signature because I didn't retain much length this time. I've had severe post pregnancy shed and when I straightened, my ends were VERY thin. Sooo, I had to trim about 1 inch to full BSL.

I'm pushing my goal of waist length to December instead of August. I should be full waist length by then if I don't have anymore set backs,

I think you'll make it! Esp since this is just air dried :D
 
I made WL stretched on 3/30/12, then flat-ironed 4/8/12 to verify. Had 1/2" trimmed allover professionally due to horrid SSKs and wanted it blunt cut.

Hope to make WL shrunken by late 2013, and TBL by Dec. 2012.

Congrats!!!!
 
Dropping out of the challenge, ladies. I've decided that I miss my pixie cut too much. If I don't get it chopped at the end if summer, it will definitely be chopped off by Christmas.

I'm sure I'll be on the grow in a few years!!!
 
I'm getting there slowly but surely. I trimmed last month. Not trimming again til holiday time. This pregnancy is not having the effect on my hair that everyone said it would. It's EXTRA dry and brittle and I'm getting breakage, plus I've been too lazy to baby it like I should, but it's still doing ok for the most part!

I did a co-wash yesterday and gave myself a sneak peak since I haven't seen my hair stretch since December - only air dried. I'm 12 weeks post relaxer. Since the JUNE HYH2012 challenge is almost over, I'll go ahead and show a little progress since my Dec siggy.

Nice you are pretty much there. Congrats.
 
I am hoping that my longest section will be waist by September/Octoberish. It is only 2.5 inches from waist. The other parts of my hair need about 4 inches ish as they are just now reaching brastrap.

Thanks! I'm hoping by December that I'm all the way there. :grin:

pre_medicalrulz Girl, you will be there well before Dec. By then you will be close to WHIP with the way your hair grows.

Well ladies, I was playing with my hair last night and it looks like I might be around 1.5" away. I was hoping to make it by the end of next month but it's not going to happen. I can't wait to texlax and flatiron so I can measure and know for sure where I am. The suspense is killing me. I'm so close I can taste it!

Thanks! I can't wait to finally be able to wear my hair out. No one has any idea how long my hair is b/c I'm always in a bun or under a wig. When I hit full WL it's going to get ugly. I will slapping people with my long luxurious ponytail. :lachen::lachen::lachen:
 
My air dried braid outs fall at full CBL. Last year at this time, my hair would fall between EL and NL in an air dried braid out. I hope that WSL will give me a very full, APL braid out.

I realized that my hair growth has slowed since getting back on my Fibromyalgia/MS medications; however, I still think my longest section will make WSL by December. I'm going to continue visualizing my hair swinging, and continue with my regimen. :yep:
