Waist Length 2013

NikkiQ said:
Now that I think about it...my reggie does change slightly to even more simple than it is now. I cowash less and usually try to slap in some big Celie braids and leave it be for the week. I'm already drained of energy (no pun intended) so my hair is usually the LAST thing on my mind then :lol:

:lol:...I've just been throwing my hair into a wash n go puff. And with this Mixed Silk leave in it makes it much more easier!:yep: just co wash, slap in the leave in, puff it and go!!:yep:...that's what I did today.

Didn't feel like doing the whole gel routine. :nono:

HEy just checking in! still in the dreaded domain of bet SL and APL. Im hoping to reach APL by November which will be my 1 year anniversary/30 mos post relaxer. thats the next time that i will actually straighten my hair. got my fingers crossed. but in the mean time i will be putting yarn braids in as a protective styl in the beginning of august for 2 months. i think i may need to do a trim but depending on how close i am to apl will determine if i am going to trim before or after my 1 yr.

My goal timeline is as follows...
Apl by November 2011
Full Apl by May 2012
BSL by November 2012
Full WL by June 2013

does anyone else have a timeline on when they want to meet their goals? HHG

I have one.
APL by December 2011
Full by Feb 2012
BSL by June 2012
Full by August 2012
MBL by December 2012
WL Feb 2013
 
Oh I would like to be added, just cut my hair.... and trying to grow it back with good ends, only cut 2 1/2 inches, and I am no longer bra strap. Hope to be bra strap in November.... My siggy pic is my current length.... Here is a brief length goal run down:

November 2011: Bra Strap

March 2012: Mid-Back Length (this is my one year anniversary and want my hair to look its best)

August 2012: Hope to be in the middle of waist and mid back with a good trim

January 2013: Be at Waist with a GOOD trim so it is blunt cut.... want my shortest layers on the top of my head to be at least to shoulders or APL.


Regimen:

August-November 1, 2011 I will be wearing a lace front with no GLUE, until my hair reaches bra strap, which I think it will be past bra strap. Anyways, I will be cornrowing my hair every two weeks, in between that time I will still be DC'ing and co washing, and reduing cornrows every two weeks.

November-December 1, 2011 I will be wearing my own hair down and still cowashing to let it breath.

I cant forsee the rest of the future how I will do my hair, but for now this should get me to MBL. With exercising, my Nioxin pills, and protective styles. I hope I can at least get an inch a month with my new pills. I wont relax my hair until March 2012, and thats only IF it needs it, I will deff do the front of my hair, relax it that is, because it helps when I have it back. I am thinking of using the Nioxin System #7 for my hair when I deep condition... we shall see. How fun!!! I hope my hair is thicker too :)

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.

SmilingElephant I'm currently taking the GNC Hair, Skin, & Nails. I started in February of this year. I also use Castor Oil on my edges and ends to thicken them up. I can definitely tell the difference in my growth and the density of my newgrowth. :yep:

How bout I just put in an order for some lavender scented JBCO Friday AND it comes with their Khus Khus body butter (tropic isle)!!!! EEE...! can't wait for it to get here!

I also bought some sweet almond oil today from Target. Next time I'll pick up the grapeseed and the walnut oils. They also have sesame oil. Bout $6-$7.

I really want to try Brahmi, Bhringraj and Hemp oils.
 
I am really hoping I make it before 2013 but at least the begining of the year of 2013. I need 3" to make bsl so I am really trying to get there first and 2011 is not over yet.
 
Started back on my sulfur serum last night. Let's see how this goes with the Nioxin and Biotin pills.

Me and you tend to think alike. :grin:...I pulled out my Bee Mine a lil while ago. I'm tryin to kill the bottle. I have like a handfull left and it's taking forever to finish it!

I keep playin around with my curls...my nape gives some crazy shrinkage!
 
I have 1.5 bottles myself. I'm going to apply it 3x week from now til the end of the year. Gonna keep the hair in some sort of braids/Celies so I can get to my scalp easier.

I just put it in a messy bun or side braid and call it a day. I'm wearing a fall at the moment.

Where are you guys purchasing your sublimed(sp?) sulfur? I'm already BSL, but have been stuck here for more than a year. I want to jump start my progress.

like today I didn't feel like co washing so I used my hairveda whipped creme ends hydration and brushed my hair back into a ponytail. now I have not combed nor brush my hair in over 2 yrs. and what I found out from this that my hair has gotten so thick. I could not believe it because all my life my hair has been thin. I have been doing the henna every month and this month I just started the by weekly regi and I use bhringraj everyweek for growth and thickness. I have just started this month using the jbco on the scalp and wash it out the next day with co washing. so what I have been doin the longest is the bhringraj and henna.

thanks! Just put in my order. My timeline is:

Full MBL by July 2012
Full WL by July 2013

This should give me lots of wiggle room for setbacks. My regimen will stay the same, with the addition of a growth aid. Rinse and condition daily, apply growth aid to scalp, then leave in and coconut/almond oil, braid/bun. Shampoo and DC weekly. Relax and protein every 3-5 months. No direct heat!
 
Just checking in. I started Nioxin a few days ago. I was interested in that "Bandwagon" growth potion but I truly hate oiling my scalp. Instead, for now, I'm spraying my scalp with some water with a few drops of onion oil & garlic oil.

Later on, I'm going to make a (refrigerated) tea with some growth herbs & the onion & garlic oil drops so that I can spray my scalp instead of oiling.
 
So far it seems like co washing and finger detangling is going to get me there by 2013, with a thick mane:lick:
 
I recieved my JBCO today. I'm gonna start that after I finish my Bee Mine.

I did a midweek detangling today. My hair was more tangled than usual. I think I need to comb daily. In the shower, that is.

Tried a packet of Hair One Argan Oil. It was okay...hair felt clean but it wasn't enough to detangle. Guess I need the bottle.

So I pulled out my trusty HE Totally Twisted conditioner and went to work. Used my Mixed Silk and puffed it. :lick:

For those who use Mixed Chicks...does it give more elongation? I ask bc my sides need a little more weight. Otherwise I'll just have to use EcoStyler when I want to wear my curls out instead of in a puff.

well first let me say I am so glad that you got your JBCO you will love it just like I do... I put it on my scalp everynight and co wash everyday and it feels like a oil rinse.
now to tell you what you have been waiting for lol I received my mixed silk today so I can finally give you a review.. I just applied it and I need for my hair to dry and I also received kenra silkening gloss that I wanted to try compare it to mixed chicks hair silk. and for you needing more weight on the edges of your hair you can try using the eco styler the gold one with max hold like I do and it gives me what I need. once my hair dry I will start a thread with the review on these 2 products... see you in a bit.
 
oh forgot to menton that I bhringraj today before i did my co wash today and I co washed with my fav mixed chicks deep conditioner. so I will have to review the mixed silk deep cond tomorrow. I didn't get the shampoo since I don't use it much and mixed chicks shampoo last me so long because of that. I only get the small bottle of it because it would be a waste of money to get the big one because it would be here for a very long time because I never really wash my daughter nor mother hair with shampoo when they are here for treatments because I know they do that when they are home and I want to make sure they get lots of moisture.
