I guess we're in good company then:grin::grin:

I started co washing more often in hopes of helping attain this goal and lookie here..I think my hair REALLY likes the daily cowash..it feels stronger and silkier and less hair shed or otherwise is coming out...I can dig this:yep:

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

We can make it girl. Thanx for the shout out!! I am gonna have to get on those growth aids. I am using a bottle of Surge 14 right now. Will see in a month if I get more growth. I hope so :)
 
Sooooooo I just looked at my wash n go in the mirror and I kinda zoomed in on my nape area that you CAN see when looking in the mirror. I found some ssks. Not big ones but the eency ones.

So I trimmed one little strand and examined it...it was split:sad:

Okay...how do I go about trimming my hair? Ive never had short hair so idk how to go about trimming/dusting it.Especially the back where I have the most issues. I can't see it. :crying3: if I have time tomorrow I'll do a whole lil session.

And I don't wanna use heat. :nono:
 
Even though I havent checked in since Jan., I'm still here and still aiming to hit WL around 2012/2013. I really don't know what I would do if I got it that long. The longest my hair ever been was BSL and that was when I was 11. Lost that soon as I put my hands in my hair at 13 :ohwell::perplexed

I JUST searched YouTube and found a video by br0nzeqt and she did medium twists all over her head and snipped the tips of them off. I think I'll try that:yep:

I've heard that's a very effective way for a super light trim.

My hair usually thrives when I stay away from direct heat. I'm thinking about doing a personal no direct heat challenge until I reach WL. It would kinda be like hiding my hair because no one would really know how long it is until I flatiron it.

That's what I'm doing. I don't plan on flat ironing until maybe the end of next year. But I'm doing blowouts every 6 months for length checks.
 
Morning yall!

Here's my starting pic I took today:

uploadfromtaptalk1310223041447.jpg

I relax every 14 weeks and trim with every relaxer

Shampoo/dc 2x weekly

Cowash 2x weekly

No direct heat

Wear protective styles at least 5 days a week

Take vitamins everyday

Workout consistently

I'm so ready for WL! Good luck ladies!

You know I always trim mines while it is curly just massey says in the curly girl book so you don't have to lose your wash and go but you said you were just going to twist it right? if so girl you know all you have to do is wet your hair again lol

For my APL and shorter ladies...do you ever feel discouraged that you're not gonna make it to WL by the end of 2013? I'm totally in that funk right now and idk why :nono:

Shoot, I feel like I'm never going to make it to APL! :sad: It's probably because my hair has never been longer than SL. I just cant imagine what APL or longer is going to be like or look like on me. But if I can make it to APL by this time next year (thus proving myself wrong) than maybe, just maybe, I can make it to WL by the end of 2013.
But I haven't thought that far yet... still waiting on APL and being able to put my hair in a puff. I still don't see how ladies with hair my length or shorter are able to rock bunny tails. It's not fair! :perplexed

Heck no its just the anticipation of it all thats it but i will be braiding and weaving until i get there and i know i will be there faster than i know it...my hair is now sl and for some reason when my hair reaches that length the faster it grows so im keeping my fingers crossed
 
NikkiQ...I sometimes feel that I might not reach it "on time". But that's just my random anxiety.

It is 10:37 pm. I have to work in the morning...but I wanna wash my hair/DC. I have SO much product in my hair right now from a 3 day old WnG.

Should I?:look:
 
I just came from a salsa festival and was day dreaming that the next time I'm there I'm NOT wearing a bun I'm going to come out with fly hair cascading down my back regardless of how hot it is:yep:

I'm in that funk too. My hair has never been longer then NL/ SL so I can't even imagine it being any longer and I didn't even think it could grow but that is obviously not true so I know it's possible for it to be long. I just gotta be patient.
 
I'm 6 months natural/14 months post relaxer today!!!!!!!!!

SO exicited! Lol! I twisted my hair up last nite and trimmed about 1/4 off the ends (thanx for the tips y'all!^^:yep:) some pieces in the back I trimmed a little more bc of all the ssk's and the few splits I discovered.

This was right after I woke up this morning and took off my bonnet. I put Bobby pins on the ends of the front twists so they wouldn't unravel and for weight. I also used gel on the front/crown twists to make them stay longer. I hope they last for a week.

looks great!!! I know you are so glad you went with the twist trim?
 
Anybody using growth aids? I'm still trying to finish my Bee Mine serum that i'm super inconsistent with:perplexed

In the meantime;somehow, I've made a habit of taking 3 Fish Oil supplements a day as well as drinking LOTS of water!!! I was kinda thinkin about trying a new growth aid but....I dunno. I seem to only use them when I feel I'm seeing no progress.
