Waist Length 2013

healthyhair2 said:
I am IN!!!! My back layers are about collarbone length. When I get tired of my twists, I will either get a sew-in or box braids. My last relaxer was October 2009 and I chopped the rest of my relaxed ends in January this year :)

Hey guys. I'm checking in its been forever. I'm getting discouraged about being wsl by 2013. Ive been relaxer free for 1.5 years. I'm not even full shoulder length yet,i dont think?

I qouted healthyhair2 because our hair is about the same length. Hey gurl lol.

Today I started the moegrow. I still take msm and usually wear twists. I'm shooting for an inch a month. That would make my bottom layers apl by dec

If I remember correctly...I think APL is 12 inches on me. I should really start keeping count :grin:...WL on me is 27 inches.

I have over a years worth of newgrowth on my head since I transitioned for 8 months and am now 5 months natural....altogether 13 months of growing :yep: Shoot I BETTER be APL by December! :lol:

:pulpdance:^^^ :grin:


Soooo....I'm tryin to hide my hair...but I just wanted to share this frohawk my sister did for me the other nite...it's 2 days old. This pic is from today:)

It looks like my hair is DEFINITELY getting bigger to me! Didn't realize it til I took this pic today :grin:
 
One A Day Multi Vits and Centrum tore my stomach up so I have to use Flintstones gummy vits. I know it may sound juvenile, but as long as I get what my body needs without any stomach pain, I down for it :).
 
I may have to hop on the kiddie vite bandwagon. Those one a days just stopped settling right on me.

Took my braided frohawk down tonite...back to wash n go's. :)

Can't wait to at least reach BSL. (hopefully next year) My bangs now reach the tip of my nose :woohoo:...but id like them to get longer because I'd rather have the front flop down more when I do wngs. I hate how they fly up...esp when I wear a headband.
 
Okay....so I was in the WL challenge for the end of this year. I had been transitioning & not taking care of my hair. I decided to go back to my curly perm and had to cut off all of my dead ends on April 21.

I went from a few strands touching WL to CL. For some reason, anytime I cut more than an inch, I get a growth spurt. I've gotten about 2 inches since April 21 (no growth aids) and am currently CBL. Because I didn't want to even think about how long it was going to take me to get to my goal so I swore off any challenges.

I am planning on adding Nioxin and BT to my routine and my hope is to be BSL by the end of next year. So I would like to unofficially join this challenge. I don't have any pics on my laptop to add but I'm going to touch up at the end of next month so I'll show my April 21 touch up pics to contrast with the July one.

Happy growing ladies...
 
I thanked, therefore I am (in this challenge). I forgot about that (as it's the only challenge I'm in). I'm off to go and measure the distance to accomplish this goal:grin:

keysha4515 have you tried taking your vitamins at night? That worked for me...or never on an empty stomach.
 
Here are some "length" check photos. I don't plan on straightening my hair all throughout the summer and MAYBE i'll straighten in the late fall.

Pics of the back, front and side by my ear.

8" is about a year and a half so that gives you some wiggle room for setbacks or trims. :)

I'm debating on buying another bottle of Bee Mine growth serum.

Part of me says it works. The other part says it's not sure and doesn't think I need it.

Hmmmmm.... ???
 
I'd love to join!!

I'm about 6 1/2 inches from WL. Hopefully I'll be able to retain enough of my length to reach my goal soon enough :)
 
Thought I joined this but challenge but appearently not :perplexed . Will you add me. It's going to be interesting making waist length and I am not even shoulder yet :look: .
 
Add me to this challenge please!
After a ridiculous setback from earlier this year(that im still trying to fix), I am 3 inches away from APL...I plan to achieve it by the end of the year.

My regimen is simple:
Bunning 24/7 unless I have an outing or event to attend
BKT treatment every 45 days
wash whenever I have buildup
Steam treatments
Nioxin vitamins + multi
 
Sooo....I just read my first post in this thread...I was almost 6 months post relaxer then.

I am now closing in on 14 months post relaxer.

Time FLIES! and I knew that was gonna happen...which is why I decided to host this challenge bc..idk about y'all...but 2013 feels like it's right around the corner being that we have less than 6 months left in the year :yep:

I like to tell myself that Ive gone from bald to CBL in a year...bc that's basically what I did even though I transitioned...I cut off only what was not relaxed. Anybody else do that? It helps me realize the rate of my growth. :look::grin:
 
:welcome: to all of the newcomers!! :D

I have a Q...since we are halfway through the year...when do you all want to post length checks? Next month or in December?? I know a few have already but I planned on doing mine every 6 months. So I planned to post mine next month.

I was just about to ask about that. :grin: 6 months in-between updates is a good idea. If we are posting our summer length check next month mine will be a little late because I started a personal 4-week cornrow challenge and they won't be coming out till July 22nd. But, yeah, I'm in!

Cool!...I mean it doesn't have to be July 1st but anytime next month for those who'd like to post theirs next month. I'm planning on posting mine on the 12th. I'm very happy that the 12th was a randomly chosen date for me to transition and then I chose to BC on the 12th. It'll be 10 yrs on July 12th since my Grandma left me...so I really wanna celebrate that day. I miss her SO much. But she was always smiling and laughing...so I want that day to be happy:)

So July 12 for me will be: 14 months relaxer free, 6 months BC, 10 yrs RIP Grandma.

I'm sorry...just got a lil sentimental for a minute.

But yeah anytime in July. For those who wanna wait til December let me know. :)
 
I've been on the fence since joining, whether I wanted to renew my subscription or not...due to this challenge, I just paid up for 2 years:grin:
