Waist Length 2013

MixedGirl isn't time for you to start doing your wash n go?

for some reason I put my hair in mini twist this morning. I am going to see how long it takes for them to start coming out. lol
 
Well I am sitting in henna today. I also am doing my granddaughters hair as well. She gets it co washed dc and twist done every week. She wants to grow her hair out long. She is 13 now.

I am happy to say that I have retained my length since my last trim. I wil l be trying to hold out as long as possible not to cut unless I see split ends and that is mostly in the crown area.
 
I blow dried my hair two days ago and twisted it up just for a different look. Here's how it tured out + a length check :)
I think I'm grazing WL now:grin:

well this the first day of a new month. I'm not sure if it is because of me taking the vitamins or what but my hair seems to be changing it's texture. I can not do anything but hide my ends because my hair is not coming out right with my wash n go's.

What will everyone else do in July???
 
Checking in again, off to Croatia tonight and very excited. Although interested how my Design Essentials STS will work out in the heat.
 
I have been on a roll this week with daily co washing. I forgot how much i love to do it!

I gotta get some more GVP Conditioning Balm. I love that conditioner...it detangles like a charm and smoothes my hair down.

Shadiyah Well if the weather starts to look up here (UK), I will consider doing some wash & gos after I'm done with this blown out twist-out :)
But it isnt looking promising, it feels like here we only have two seasons: Winter & about 20 days of sun spread unevenly throughout the year :-/

Shadiyah I plan to get mini braids (no extensions) some time next week & I will be hiding my hair all month - no "out" styles.

I am right at BSB but thanks to NJoy's growth oil, I'm getting an inch per month. I need 6 inches to get to WL so that means I need to retain everything to reach WL by the end of the year.

My plan for July will be carried out for the rest of the year. Once it cools down, I'm going to wig it. WL here I come!

I notice you henna'd not long ago. If you're natural, henna over time will change your curl pattern.

As for July, I'm gonna keep doing what I've been doing, which is wearing twists or Celie's with the ends pulled up into a bun or pinned in back. I'd like to get it cornrowed but, I like having full access for cowashing. I'm going to try upping my cowashes from 2x/wk to daily...if I can, timewise.

I may wear my hair in a twist out or braid out every other date night (Fridays) this month.
 
Update: Lately I’ve been feeling a bit depressed about my uneven or 'layered' hair; it is like this due to the fact that a couple of months after my BC I noticed that I had some heat damage from straightening back in May 12 and cut it out. But the thing is, these days I keep thinking how it looks odd that I’m grazing WL in the back but APL in the front :-/ I know that I’m being paranoid but I just feel like on the whole my hair doesn’t have that ‘grazing wl look’ if you know what I mean, as in it looks much shorter than it actually is. Especially when I watch the hair journeys of ladies such as Longhairdontcare2011 or Chime (HairCrush) because their hair always looks so full, thick, long and all the same length. I hope that my fast-growing front hair will continue to do just that and am considering keeping the back of my hair at WL until the front catches up. But then again, I have goals….. I dunno. I’m so confused :-/
Anyone else feeling this way? Or any suggestions??
 
Hey mayoo ! I'm a lurker here (and all the other threads beyond MBL :look: ) and I gotta tell you:

1. I love your hair!
2. I love your hair! :)
3. Hairorexia is real, real real....

My observation of those long haired inspirations (like yourself) is that their hair grows in stages in different places...the whole unicorn thread comes to mind. And in some cases it just has a mind of its own and we have to cut to get that "look". My hair for example grows in a sharp V, drives me crazy but I'm learning to accept it or cut it and I'm not cutting so there you go :)

Anyhow, chin-up woman! Your hair is gorgeous!
 
no suggestions but you are definitely not the only one. My hair still feels very short like shoulder length or something

I'm a little past bsl but the all of my hair hasn't reached that same point. the back of my hair broke off (I assume it was from heat damage/multiple textures from underprocessing) and the rest just doesnt grow at the same rate. my sides never have as much ng as the middle.

I'm only dusting until wsl and maintaining that length until my ends look "full" (I assume that part may take a year)

mayoo

((BIG HUG))
My hair grows the same way. It's almost like one of those old mushroom hair styles. But I've learned to accept my natural "layers" and find styles that compliment the layers. That's helped me to feel better about it.

It doesn't discredit my length milestones either. I've worked just as hard to retain the length in the back as I have the front. Hopefully, you'll feel better about the work you've put into yours as well. :)
 
Sooooo....it just dawned on me that i have pretty much reached my goal of APL curly!!!

Can i claim it??!!:D

My hair is in a curly ponytail/puff. They are dry but they hang even longer than that when wet.

NJoy my curl pattern been changed from the henna for the good. I am really talking about the new hair and edges. my fuzzies have changed since I have started taking NuHair.
 
mayoo - your hair is beautiful!!! If I had your gorgeous head of hair I wouldn't be anywheere near depressed more like dancing and shouting. I was admiring the twists - so I am sure your hair free and loose is drool worthy!:lick:

NJoy - you must have hair fertilizer in your body somewhere :lol: Your hair growth is nothing short of amazing!!! It seems like you just cut it and now look at you - almost waist length. Some folk got it so good!!! :grin:


nakialovesshoes - an inch a month? My goodness you will be WL by end of year with that growth rate. I'm sure you are very excited.

SmilingElephant - can I just have your beautiful, curly, pony? The curls, pony, length and hair color are just .... WHAT I WANT!!! :lachen: ANd lucious too!!! :lol:


A big thanks to all of you ladies for sharing your pics. If I had hair like any of yours I would be a big camera ham" - but I don't :nono: - so I ain't. :sad:

Thank-you ladies for your support! I think I just need to get over it, I've never really had totally 'even' hair and I'm beginning to be okay with that. Maybe once I reach TBL, I'll consider trying to cut it all to one length which will probably be full WL and then grow it out again from there :grin: There's always a solution :) Thanks again ladies for your support and encouragement
