Waist Length 2013

An_gell...I don't mind at all, no has ever asked me about my reggie before. I feel special. lol. On a serious note, for the past yr. I 've been protective styling with twists, braids and recently u-wigs. I keep my moisture up by co-washing with Aussie Moist 1x a week while my hair is braided, then I seal it with oil. That's it.

Thank you! Your hair is beautiful I really appreciate it. I'm going to start wiggin it here soon so it looks like I'm going in the right direction. :-)
 
Here is the plan... I have been using the L.O.C method and putting my hair in 4 bantu knots. I co wash my hair about ever 3 days and when I do I will wear my hair curly that day and then it is back to the bantu knots.

I am taking Live Once Daily Women 50+ and 300mg Bamboo Extract which is giving me 70% organic Silica.

The last thing I want to look into is something that will help combat DHT that will cost slow growing or loss of hair as you get older. I really think this is why my hair is growing so slow now because my hair use to grow so much faster than this.

If anyone know anything about this matter please speak up.
 
ok so I have looked into Nu Hair DHT blocker I think I will try that one. I really think it is being in menopause is to why my hair growth has slowed down from reading about DHT. I don't want to wait until I have a real problem and then start trying to fix it I want to combat it now. My mother hair is thin and she had hysterectomy when she was in her 30's and her mother hair was thin and going bald but I always thought that was from her drinking. I really only wanted to be on one vitamin

I've been tweaking my regimen for the last few months trying different techniques and products out but now I finally know what my hair loves and what my staples are. When I take biotin and MSM religiously my hair thrives but I'm not that great with keeping up with vitamins :ohwell: But if I keep it up like I did when I first started my HHJ I should make WL this year :grin:
 
I henna'd this weekend for about 3 hours and deep conditioned for another hour afterwards and my hair is feeling fabulous. I hope to do a length check at the end of this week.
 
Joining now...I really think I can make waist length this year! I will be wigging it til the end of the year. Here is my starting pic. From my length check last weekend

SeeLexus very nice hair and you know what it really don't look like you have that long to go. some people have high waist and it is a shorter time than others. you look like you are high waisted.

Welcome to the challenge.

Hey lady!! Sorry so late, LoL. I've been busy trying to plan this relocation. Nope, no WL yet but this will be the year! :B

Sounds like the regular cowashing has been doing your hair some good. IA that my hair responds better when I rinse/cleanse it daily or every other day.
 
Just peeking in. Still no where near WL. And thats okay! I'm still trucking along. Definitely at BSL in one of my bras but not THE BSL bra.

Still keeping it going. And I recently added biotin to my regimen. I'm not too good with it, but I try to take it with my BC so I don't forget it.

Hopefully putting my hair in a style for April.
 
I'll be measuring in April in about a couple of weeks...I'll post pics then.
I'll probably be somewhere between BSL-MBL after I trim.

Fine 4s I decided to adopt your trimming schedule so I did a good trim last night. because my hair is straight from the bantu knots and oil I was able to get every strand.
 
Checking in..
as some of you may have seen i've been wearing my hair natural atm but havent managed to do a lot with it.
Today is wash day again because I need to flat iron my hair, I'm driving back to university tomorrow and have a cheerleading competition on Friday. After the weekend I'm going to attempt a twist out :)
 
MixedGirl I am not one that needs a lot of styles I will wear my hair out in a wash n go in a min and leave it at that. I don't care about doing up dos or buns and my hair never gives me what I want in a twist out or braid out. I love the curls from the wash n go.

Thanks! Im thinking of spending a good few weeks experimenting.
I've got a got styles on my 'wish list'
 
I'm so tired of my hair.... I've been blow drying every week. Which is okay for me but I'm ready to put it up via braids or weave. I think I'm going with braids but I don't want it to stink.
 
Well....im sitting in the Dominican salon. I just got shampooed and im sitting under the dryer being deep conditioned. Next will be the rollerset.

I decided to go to a salon closer to my house instead. They said they get a lot of naturals. Even the other salon said that. She used Alter Ego shampoo and MX Puring conditioner. It smells like candy :lick:
 
Not sure if I'm officially in the challenge, however, I've been a subscriber to this thread for quite some time. I decided to blowdry, flat iron, & do a length check yesterday. Below is the picture. I'm excited to say 2013 will be the year I make waist length!
