You've been added! Can't wait to see your pics. Waist Length 2012!!:grin::grin::grin:
 
Here is my starting pic with my hair stretched ( I don't straighten)....

JulyLengthCheck-1.jpg


You can barely see it (beneath the fat :lachen:) but the top of my tank is bsb which on me is the same as bsl for most of my bras.

My regimen is simple:
  • No heat
  • Cowash 5 days a week (workouts)
  • Shampoo once a week with Giovanni Tea Trea
  • I switch between Giovanni Moisture and Organics Italian Red Grape Condish
  • Run a little EVOO through strands after wash
  • A little shea butter on ends
  • Use DermOrganic Argan Oil Masque a couple times a week
  • Clip up, pony, or bun

I try to eat as healthfully as I can so I get my vits through the foods I eat, but I do take chlorella for extra health benefits.

That's about it. Good luck everyone!
:yep:
 
Co-washing daily.
Bunning 99% of the time.
DC weekly.
Protein as needed... (2 times a month mostly)
Very very little heat. Tops, 3 times a year.

BAM. Regimen. :yep:

With my back looking like 2 packages of extra large hot links beneath an extra set of butt cheeks you know I couldn't let that comment go by un-scolded.:yep:

All joking aside your hair is beautiful and welcome to the group!

Oh no you didn't! I just spit out my water! LOL! I went back a few pages and see that I'm not the only one who mentioned back-fat issues, lol. Why is back fat such a problem- ugh! :nono: Well, hopefully, all of our hair will grow and our backs will shrink simultaneously, thus making our hair look *even* longer. One can hope :grin:

And right back at you with the beautiful hair- all the ladies here have gorgeous hair!
 
I'm pretty new here (at least to posting. I'm a constant lurker.)

I'm currently at APL in the back and I think (unless there really is such a thing as terminal length), that I'll be WL by 2012. I REALLY want my ends to be healthy though more than anything.

Stats: 3c/4a natural hair
Shampoo once per week/every two weeks (depending on how I feel)
DC every time I shampoo.
Braids, twists, cornrows and flat twists (Protective Styles!) Moisturize with shea butter and I LOVE EVCO!
Starting picture from 2 days ago.

Welcome to the challenge!
 
i totally agree with what's been said.

there are some gorgeous heads of hair in here!

happy to be sharing the journey with you ladies.....!!!
 
I think I may need to change my reggie to include rollersets. I love the ease of braid outs and knot outs but I noticed again today that my hair just seems to want to lock up on itself entirely too much. I've noticed that I tend to shed hair more in the summer since I moved to Houston (this summer and last summer) and I think I may need to get a charcoal filter for my shower.

Ah well I knew this would be a journey with it's own unique twists and turns. Have an awesome day ladies!

Thanks! Pretty much how it is in the picture (minus the piece pulled out) is how I wear my hair- mostly now that it is hot. Every once in a while, I'll wear a wash n' go like my siggy.

Good googly moogly! I just measured and realized that because of my short waist but normal upper torso it will take more inches to get from APL to BSL than it will from BSL to WL. Combine that with the fact that I'm pretty sure my hip is only 1.5 inches from my waist and I'm currently covered in loverly body "fluff" I'd say I'm in for some awesome fun trying to describe and post pictures of my hair progress.

My updates will look something like this. "Well I made it to the top rack of sausage rolls above my BS this month" "Oh yeah my hair got caught in that crinkly section that's created when I sit down, but only on the left though...." :grin:

I hope you all have an awesome day!.....again.....I really need to finish filing this paperwork........

Laughs at the bolded. We will get there lady.
 
Thanks so much. I am really enjoying this thread and the ladies who are a part of it. I'll stop hijacking it with my shenanigans and not post again until after this weekend when I try a rollerset.
 
^^^i really like that rollerset idea!

i tried one earlier this month, but the humidity made it go flop.

thanks for reminding me that in the months until we finish this year, that is one tool i'm going to have to pick up, too!

plus they say it's excellent for keeping the hair moist, as well!

My hair refuses to straighten all the way :wallbash: But it's healthy and growing and that's all I can ask for! This is 2 years all natural and I didn't bc, just started cutting of the relaxed ends.
