Waist Length 2013

well I am jumping over hoops to get to wl by the end of the yr. I am on supplements and I just got my Njoy growth oil, so I am doing a lot more that I never ever would do yrs before. I just mixed my henna so that I can see the growth when the grey comes in. I still need like 7 inches especially since I trimmed. wow at the beginning of the yr I needed 6" now it is 7 but you know I still have hope because we all trim and know that it doesn't take long for it to come back.
 
^^You can do it!

I need to shut my mouth bc i only need about 3 inches just to claim WL.

When i go back curly im gonna get my head back in the game. By:

-Deep conditioning every week
-Co washing daily
-making sure my hair is always moisturized and not dry. I have been battling dryness for a while.
-taking prenatal vitamins everyday, i might add in Biotin
-drinking more water, i already eat good lol

Im also thinking about going back to the CG method or at least modified CG until i use up all the products that have cones in them.
 
Do people think vitamins actually help?
I'm scared to try them.. but I also think maybe uping exercise and water may have a similar affect?
 
Why am I scared to trim my ends literally. It's been since June I said I'm going to wait til June but now that that's here. I might wait until December. There is no urgency on my part to do so. I would be WSL if it wasn't for that sister happy stylist butchering my hair. I trust no one but myself right now to cut so I may be cutting myself we will see.

MixedGirl I do. If you aren't providing your body with ample nutrients there isn't enough to share with your hair, if that makes sense. If you eat a good diet & exercise you may not need them like the lazy, bad eating person I am. The only thing that I do right is drink lots of water & no sodas.

soldier4hair I BCed Sept 2011 & did not have scissors in my hair again until December 2012. Since I don't use flat irons & only use blowdryers every blue moon to stretch my hair for braids/twists, I only needed 1/3" trim. I was told that the only reason I needed that much was because of single strand knots. Since I'm still not using flat irons this year & prettymuch PSing the entire time, I will get my next trim in December.
 
nakialovesshoes thank you!

Man i hope i make it this year! This growing phase is driving me crazy!! Ive become obsessed again with how long my hair is getting:nono:

Im wondering how long it will be in another 3 months lol. I don't know what length to claim right now. I believe im more MBL than i am BSL. But idk. I just can't believe how close i am to WL!
 
well I henna yesterday and I am ready to start logging my growth. I know I waited until the very last min to really get serious about this. I never wanted to do protective styling but now I have no problem at all lol.

SmilingElephant I know you are happy girl. lol
 
Did a random length check yesterday... but as you guys can see, this fool was wearing the wrong type of clothing smh. Can't see anything.
gonna re-do it in a couple of days :)

ok this is what I wanted to ask is there anyone that still use silicones like me that is using hello hydrations???? I love that conditioner over anything else I use. it makes my hair so soft and clean. I am only using that for now on.
 
It just hit me..... My hair is long and thick and gorgeous Lmbo.......

nakialoveshoes although I use heat once a week I think I'm going to trim once a year.

3 Inches from waist length, 5 from hip length. If my hair grows 3/4 of an inch a month I'll be at waist length by July? Maybe Hip length by October?
I think i'd probably trim an inch off my hair before the end of the year, meaning I MAY be at hip length or grazing by December maybe?!

So exciting!

Huge milestone that my old clip in extensions are now shorter than my hair! yay!
 
man yall got some hair up in here. wow it is hard to believe we been posting in here since the end of 2010 and I can not believe how much stuff that I am doing trying to get there at the last min lol :lachen::lachen::lachen: I never thought I would be this despread.
 
I just washed my hair. And there's no heat damage!! :-)

Im going to be building it back up by using lite protein products. I always do that when i go back curly to strengthen my hair.

I think the next time i straighten i will go back to that Dominican salon. I ended up liking the results after all and i love that there was no heat damage.

My curls look happier since i trimmed too.
 
SmilingElephant yes our curls love it when we get a trim.

so look at what I came across and this was my thinking all the time.

(Note about BSL: Others have suggested that this length be measured using an imaginary line at the height of the nipples and around across the back. Others suggest that it should be measured at the bottom of the shoulder blades on the back.)

Well if that's the case...then i can claim MBL!! I hope to be full MBL by June or July and WL by October.

I just treated my curls to Shea Moisture's Anti Breakage Masque. My curls look so happy they could giggle :giggle: its SO much easier to finger detangle now :) my hair felt fragile today, she still needs protein. The masque did help tho.
 
Getting there!
I'm thinking 3 inches

I dont think I have any huge difference between BSL and waist, my waist seems pretty high.

omg that would be great, although I do want to chop off an inch I think because my layers have been cut badly by my hairdresser :(

I'm going to not length check until around my birthday May 31st and see where I am by then :)

SmilingElephant see my curls don't hang like that they are hugging my neck not even touch my shoulders and I am touching bsl stretched. I want my curls to hang at bsl so I don't know where my hair needs to be when it is straight to do that.

Wow, u might need TBL hair just to reach BSL curly.

Hey, who uses moisturizing sprays and how? I have a Curly Q's moisturizing spray. But my hair laughs at liquid moisturizers.
