Here are my updates:

Went to Supercuts for my trim. Blow dried on cool from 1:40pm to 3:00pm. Did not hurt one bit. I arrived pre-washed and detangled.

I really would like to make it to WL by the end if 2013 if I can get this dry hair and breakage under control.

look at all of that hair!:blush: girl, it looks like Cousin It from the back! i love it! :grin: you will be WL by the end of the summer! see, your hair isn't all the way straight, so i think it's longer than in the pic.

I did a soft press of my hair tonight. It has grown a little, but not as much as I would like. Hopefully I'll get a boost over the next few months.

*peeks head in to look around* Hello ladies! I'm in the BSL challenge (got a long way to go before I graduate to here!), but I just wanted to poke my head in here for some inspiration and a little hair porn. There are sure some lovely heads of hair in here! Congrats to all the ladies who are making great progress towards their goals, and happy hair growing! :grin:

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY didn't I follow my first mind and do this??????? Instead I went to a salon and they lopped 2 inches of my hair off.:nono:

Did you find that they are considerate about trimming? Like they aren't as scissor happy as other stylists. If so, I may have to go this route whenever I need a trim.

Well I met with her prior to going and told her that I had a small following of folks so if she messed up with me she'll lose other potential clients LOL a tip from a friend. Maybe I lucked out but...I'm happy to have found her.
 
Only had my braids in for a month and I have about an inch if new growth. I've been oiling and massaging my hair nightly.

So since I am holding off on the henna because I want to see the growth by using the color difference, I just go finish doing cassia, amla and brahmi treatment. now I am sitting with a dc on it will be over night but since I don't sleep I will still be up to wash it out some time in the middle of the night.
 
i am going to try another semi perm color that hopefully will take and stay. i know dark and lovely isn't the best, but it does seem to take well. i'm glad they came out with a blue/black shade. i am going to wait and color my hair again in when its time for me to touch up.

6 months later.. I am about 4.5 inches from WL ! Kinda fell behind, winter months are more for thickening for me and less growth. But after winter and 1 trim and 2 dusting's, I'm happy to only have 4.5 inches to go.
Hope u all are doing great!
 
SmilingElephant good to see you.

I am still walking around in bantu knots. my edges seem to be looking a little bushy so I am leaving the sulfur alone for a min and getting back to my old regi and using my old oil mixture. it never agreed with me but wanted to try it anyways. I haven't seen much growth since I henna my hair but I am hopeful. I am still taking the NuHair and Bamboo extract don't know at this point what it is doing but it is only my second month with the Nuhair so I will do what it says and give it the 4 months.

I am also drinking a lot of smoothies now. and keeping up with the greenery is about as much as I can do on the inside. But I can not wait until next month to length ck but I don't think it will be much but we will see.
 
I'm still in the challenge but not really in it because I know I'm not making WL this year lol

Anywho, got my hair done and here is my length check. I have a long way to go, but at least my hair is healthy!

I have a long torso and short legs. I'm only 5'5 but WL is a WAYS away. Oh we'll I'm enjoying the journey!

aawww ImanAdero you can do this. I looked at your picture and it is not that much to go. I may not make it all the way either but what ever length I am by the end of the challenge I will be happy because it will be the longest my hair has ever been as far as I know. So don't give up. at least we will be healthy right?
 
ImanAdero It is so fun growing together for two years. I am so glad SmilingElephant started this challenge. Shadiyah and I are starting to do wild things to try to make WL by Dec 31. Feel free to join us. I am eating 4-6 g of chlorella in a green smoothie, scalp massages, henna, and inverting my head 7 days per month

Shadiyah Sounded like the sulfur oil was working, could those fuzzy edges be new growth? I started doing henna because they say it speeds up hair growth, but in your post it sounds like you are saying it didn't help to increase your growth. Do you have any growth, retention or both with henna? Does henna make it harder to grow healthy hair? TIA

Seamonster no the sulfur always gave me a problem like protein does. I said I would try hers to see if it would be better and it is but I don't want to push it when I start seeing a change I just leave everything alone.

the henna, no I have never had any bad reaction to it and I love it. I am only not using the henna right now because I want to see the inches grow in and because my grey will allow me to see that. but I love my henna and what it does for my hair. My hair is very healthy and I do have retention it is just that my hair does not grow as fast as it use to and I am thinking because of age. but my hair is hitting the mark or did of being the longest ever in my life. I am headed to midback.

Checking in.. currently in the middle of exams but they're going well!

My hair has taken a back seat, lots of co washing and little deep conditioning (but my hair still feels moisturised and strong).
I have a wedding in Croatia soon and am planning on getting Design Essentials Strengthening Therapy before I go, to fight the humidity. I'll update when I know more.
 
I feel I should've been WSL by now but my Benazepril ACE high blood pressure medication caused a setback. I am on another type of hbp med now and my hair is returning to its healthy state. I have some pieces that are WSL but I want more...!!!
 
Nix08 Inverting your head for a week a month is supposed to increase blood to the scalp and result in increased hair growth. The Can you grow an inch per week thread talks about it.
 
ok I just washed my hair with giovanni shampoo and conditioner and then I put shea moisture hair growth milk on and sealed with olive oil. I put my hair back up in the 4 bantu knots.
 
I have been rocking this played out bun (made from an old wash n go) for too long. It's time to detangle.

Some of my strands seem to have grown about 2 inches since the start of the year while others appear to be at a standstill. Trying to wait until next month to do a trim.
 
ok I had to get off that thread I hate wash n gos..... man I was getting mad. a member told one of the stylist to come and read our thread about what we had to say about their video. I am done. then another member was attacking a member about what her wash n go was truly a wash n go. lol she called it a wash n conditioner and a ton of product pilled onto of your head.
 
Checking in.. I wish I knew how to take care of my curly hair a lot sooner! I'm loving it. (I attached a pic of how I wore it to a party last night)

So next month will be one year since I have trimmed and I think I may carry on until the end of the year. Who would've known I could do this.
