Waist Length 2013

Lol you know I go MIA every so often ^_^

I really dont know where I'm at. These shorter lengths confuse me and with the natural layers I have due to growing from baldie it just makes me more confused. But I was officially kicked out of the TWA and SL challenge lol and some think I'll be hitting APL in the next 3 mos or so... So, yeah, I'm still confused as usual lol
 
Lol they said I could still visit but was like "Girl you need to move on!" and I was all "But I dont know those girls!!!" lmfao like its the 1st day of school lol

Mz.MoMo5235 isn't funny how you get attached. like all of us we have been together for almost 3 yrs now and it has been fun watching their hair grow.
 
I have a couple wavy tracks in and I love it. I've been rinsing my hair basically every day. I probably won't flat iron my hair until the end of August. I will be able to give my hair a treatment then.
 
I had a little fun this weekend past with some curls but I am back to my three plaits. It is getting easier to leave my hair alone now, that is crazy though lol.
 
Ive decided as of yesterday that im going to go back to using combs. I used my shower comb yesterday and was able to detangle down to the scalp...my hair actually laid flatter...i had two unsalvageable knots come out with one inch clumps of curls....despite me finger detangling daily. I think Reina is telling me she is getting too big and long for me to not use a comb! Lol! She's almost grown!!! Lol....she's like a sweet teenager...no major problems but she's still got her ways:lol: I wanna go get the wooden comb from the Body Shop.

I haven't really been feeling well lately...ive been pushing myself tho. Im so tired and moody and my body hurts. Ugh!

My curls have been keeping me happy though! :)
 
Even though I flat ironed three days ago,and dusted it some of my ends were still scraggly and knotting up so I dusted again today. Turns out what I thought was shedding has been breakage. :eek:

I'm kind of relieved because that means my hair is not thinning. Some of my strands grew a few inches though. My hair loves to play zero sum games with me and I have been kind of lazy with it the last few months. That said the situation isn't as bad as I originally thought, but it demands attention.

So it's back to my growth aids. I still have a lot because I haven't been using them this year. And I'm going to try wigging it for awhile. This could be the start of a new thing for me. It will be like going to the salon but with less time and expense invested.:lol:

Hi girls!
A quick update. I trimmed my hair last month and thought I wouldn't be able to reach waist length this year but these pictures give me hope again.
The first has been taken in february 2013 and the two others, today.Photo0097.jpg

Naturelie you are very close and I think with the months we have left you will make it.

so I came in here to tell you all that the best way other that flat ironing your hair to do a length ck is to have henna in your hair and ck your length. I was so happy and couldn't wait to run here to tell you that I was hitting mbl lol. well that was a joke because as soon as I rinse my hair and the curls started coming back in I am still bsl. I guess I can say full bsl now. yea bumer but what can you do.
 
Well I'm still over here rocking my 3 plaits. I am waiting on the Curls products I ordered because I got 35% off I finally got to try of their other things. I love creme brûlée I thing it will stay in my regi as a stable. I'm also deciding if I want to do twist and leave them in until Ramadan is over since I go out most nights to pray which means my hair will be covered anyway. I have my tiny rubber bands ready so they will not come out.
 
Did a twist out and wore it to an interview yesterday! I liked it a lot but there was more shrinkage than my natural hair!
 
I dreamt last night that I was touching waist length at my next touch up (in September)....I better mentally prepare for the opposite:look:
 
Nix08 awww don't think that way... when I feel like that I like to pull up a pic from last yr of that time and see how much I have really grown.
 
I had that dream I think everyone has in their hair journey lol. I dreamt someone I was with pulled on my hair to see how long it was and to both our surprise it was WL and I had thick twist that she started retwisting for me lol. It was the best dream ever so real that I started looking for my long hair in the mirror when I woke up and then remembered it was only a dream lol

I'm here lurking ::look::


Right now my hair is in box braid extensions until the end of the month.

As I said in the MBL thread, I plan to start a more intense deep conditioning regimen. I barely do it, leaving a deep conditioner in for like 5 minutes and usually not with heat (including body heat even).

I am doing this because I got jealous of my baby niece's (she's 3.5 yo) coils. They are the perfect pen coils. Because her hair was well moisturized! So I need to do more of that!
