hey homie! (i was born in detroit) can i use my siggy pic for my starting pic?

i signed up earlier, but think i forgot my reggie, here it is:

cowash daily
baggy bun during the day
whole head bag at night
dc at least twice a week on dry hair
Ayurveda rinses, pastes, and tea rinses
jbco, evoo, coconut oil, kukui nut oil with regular scalp massages
(i use too many different oils to list them all, but those are the basics.)
absolutely no heat whatsoever (only wraps or rollersets)

that's it for the summer although when the winter arrives, i'll most likely cut down to just 2-3 cowashes a week.:grin:

thanks!

Welcome! Great starting pics. Looks like you are already BSL. See you at waist length.:grin:
 
Ya'll gonna look at me like I'm crazy when I post my starting pic. But my goal is to be waist length natural by 2012. I will make WL this year. So here's my starting pic. I don't have a good ng shot because my camera skills suck but you can kind of see my ng in this pic.


ETA: My warm weather reggie is wash once or twice a week followed by my leave ins and braid in 2-4 braids for daily braidouts. I DC once a week and protein treat once a month. My reggie will pretty much be the same when it starts getting cold except I will mainly wear half wigs and buns.

Great starting pics lady Waist Length to Waist Length I can dig it.
 
Count me in!

My regime:
wigs as protective style (braided/twisted natural hair underneath)
moisturize braids/twists w. coconut oil 2x week
dc w. AubryOrganics w.Honeysuckle + coconut oil 1x a month
wash every 3 wks w. Aphogee

The longest part of my hair is just grazing bra strap and there are 5 inches b/w BSL and WL on me so I think I can just barely make it. My growth & retention have been averaging 2in a year so I'll be working hard on the latter.

I'd love to join this challenge- sign me up!!
I've got 3.5-4 inches of hair right now (frustrating because a 3C shrinkage is a *****, but I think I can do waist length in 2 years and 5 months if i'm very VERY diligent and try hard to retain my length. I'm also doing a WL (hopefully i'll be tailbone by then) 2013 challenge and a MT challenge as well! I mainly intend to:
-moisturize like alll heck lol
-baggy at night (while applying MT, MN)
-apply cayenne and olive oil daily not only as an intense scalp massage BUT also as a pre-shampoo
-wash just about every other day and when winter comes, keep my head covered mostly always when im out
and lastly
-use products that are natural (organic if possible) as often as I can
lol I have my school reunion in 2013 sooooo I HAVE to look fly lolll definitely so wish me luck! Below is my hair's progression since January (when I was forced to bc):

You can do it lady. Grow girl grow. Can't wait to see your progress pictures. Waist Length 2012.:grin:
 
Just checking in...
Wow!, the pics are so motivating already and everybody has such the "bomb" regimen. I am sure we will see progress really soon.
I can only check in once a week :sad:until my internet is back up, so I will be missing all the action. Down from my usual 10-20 times a day....:grin:
I have been cowashing and bunning.
Hopefully, I can get a decent pic up by the 31st. My photography skills suck.
 
I didn't get added to the list.... My reggie consists of a rotation of oiling, tea rinsing, cowashing, dcing and airdying, The only time I use poo is when I relax. After that I use a Shikakai bar or tea rinse for cleansing. I usually do a touch up anywhere between 8 to 10 weeks. My growth aids of choice are Ayurveda products and Sulfur. My starting pic is in my siggy.
 
I'm trying to remember if I posted my starting pic or not. hmm...I'll post it when I get home to be on the safe side

^^^^ ITA. I haven't done a length check in a while. I'm holding off until September so HOPEFULLY I'll be SL by then.

Me too, that's when Im going to get my next relaxer..and I REFUSE to do a length check until then, lol.....I want it to be a pleasant surprise :) if a surprise at all...:look:
 
I have not been on the hair board in a minute but yes, please add me to this. I need some way to remind me to keep up with my hair goals. I've been slacking.
 
So I need 9 inches to get to waist length, and then I will work on the next goal to get it even all over.... how many inches do some of you have to go?
 
SB if you need 9 inches, I dread thinking how many I need.:ohwell: I just realized I could have been using my son's iPhone, duh. Once this ole lady gets good at it, it's on.
 
I'm in..my hair is just shy of APL...I should have APL by next month....I'm 5ft2 so hopefully I'll reach WL by the end of next yr...
