Waist Length 2013

I was just about to post about this... I'm kinda discouraged because I'm sick of the back dancing at apl and the sides afraid of my shoulders lol.
I just would like full apl by the end of the year thats really what I want but I have layers I guess mny naturals do. I wonder how I'd go about growing out layers? I think it even grew in layers when I was relaxed.

I think I may be the exception. I cut to chin length in April & I'm knocking on APL's door right now (Nioxin vitamins & topical sulfur) & should be there by the end of the year. But that stretch from APL to BSL is always the hardest for me. It's like I make it to BSB & then my hair just stalls.

Well I went from SL to EL/NL in Feb and back to SL in June. I mean it's growing, but patience is just wearing thin, ya know?
 
Okay Ladies, I'm signing-up for this challenge. I'm finally touching BSL (took FOREVER) so now waist length actually seems like a possibility.
 
Welcome to the challenge... Everyone's really extra supportive in here so I hope you have fun & I'm sure you'll reach your goal. Also congrats on touching BSL. You inspire me

I think that's whats going on. You don't think its fast but it is. You just claimed SL in June and its just August and your like Where is APL? :yep: But you will be APL in December or really close which is just 6 months. And many others will still be struggling to get there.

But we feel your pain.
 
Yall make it seem like I'm whining. I guess I'm just disappointed that I see my roots and it's not showing in the length,but I'll be quiet about it.
 
NikkiQ Oh NOOOO you're not whining at all!! For some reason this hair journey comes with a rollercoaster of emotions (at least for me). One day I'm happy with my hair and the very next I'm so upset and feel like I've had no progress.

I didn't intend to imply that you are whining. Not my intention at all. What I was trying to say is that you are making better progress than you give yourself credit for.

And this board is quiet enough, please don't be quiet.

So excuse me ... I am not the most eloquent english speaker in the world. :nono:
 
yep it is quiet enough lol we don't think ur whining shoot we all probably don't notice our own progress until later. I feel like I've been apl forever but then I think back to 5 mths ago when I was telling SO I wanted to just touch apl now I'm touching and I want full apl when I get full apl it may not be enough lol maybe it's just a woman thang anywho ya'll don't be quiet don't know about ya'll but I need the support & motivation from this thread. I never found a challenge where I checked in often and stuck with it until now. Dang thats corny but fa real

Umm...have you seen the things I type up in here?? I'm FAR from eloquent. Hell I didn't even know how to spell it correctly until you typed it.
 
Hiyyahhh girls!

I thanked this post to add myself to the list for WL 2013! I'm about a hair away from BSL- so I really think I can have a hair or two touch my waist in two years....which would be amazing!
 
well I couldn't hold out any longer.... I put henna in a little while ago and I wore my hair out yesterday. I just really miss my curls so I just wanted to say hi. as far as the henna I just wanted to see how much my hair was growing and I got to see which part of my hair was growing the fastest so I think I am satisfied now. I think I will up the henna, instead of waiting a whole month I will do every other week to see jut how thick my hair gets and I will still do my castor oil rinse. because I just love the progress I am getting from it.
 
Last nights relaxer was the best one yet:yay: .....has your hair ever felt like it's smiling...well mine feels that way right now:yep:

Silenttulip I have been using henna for about over 10 yrs but these past 3 yrs is when I found out about body art quality. before that I was just buying it out of the super market. so my hair is so much healthier since I change brands. I have a lot of grey but before that I would just see the high light of the reddish tone. as far as the thickness of the hair that is henna it doesn't go away.
 
I have one bag in the cabinet. If it isn't too much trouble could you tell me the best way to do it? Before I henna'ed shampooed and then did a moisturizing dc. SHould I apply it to scalp and hair? How long should I leave it on?

well see I mixed mines with lemon juice and let sit over night until color release. I know other people put other things in theirs for lest drying but this just fine for me. I apply mines to wet hair and I place 2 plastic caps and a beanie and then my silk scarf and sleep in mines. I then wash it out and continue to wash it out with conditioner no shampoo. so my hair is very moist when I am finish. and yes I place it on my scalp because in about a week your scalp is clear but see I don't care about my scalp being a little tented because I do mines for color as well as conditioning properties that come along with it.

You know what kia i think we're in the same boat:yep:....i think i'm closer to APL than i think...i wish i had someone to take the pic for me...but i'm able to stretch my hair from the back and it seems to be closer to APL from that angle than from stretching toward the front.

I believe i'll be APL by the end of the year. :pray:

Idk...i remember when i was relaxed it took me FOREVER to get past MBL...that whole BSL/MBL/WL area was just :nono:....so i kinda know what to look for...i guess. The one thing that helped me get over that hurdle was bunning, co-washing and JBCO:yep:

Forgive me if i'm sounding irritable tonite ya'll...i'm not trying to be...i'm having one of my days...:skitzo:
 
hey i am looking for a really good deep conditioner I have free $50.00 to spend and it is going to hair products lol hairveda is having a sale so I am getting a bundle from her for co washing but I need to see if anyone has something they are using that is great lol
 
I would definitely join this, except I'm kind of skeptical as to whether WL can be achieved by 2013 with my current length, even if my hair does grow at a good rate. Lol...Looking forward to your future progress though ladies! :)
 
Well I LOVE AOHSR & BearFruitHair Shea Aloe Coconut deep conditioner
They are both soooo moisturizing

what kind of DC are you looking for?

and are you looking for online type products or in store?

----I'm going to do a keratin treatment sometime next week.
And I am almost done clearing out my un-used items from my stash. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the box of products though yet.

you can always send them to me!!!!!!! lol I am looking for a moisturizing conditioner. and I am looking for one online unless there is a real good one like at target
 
I'm not giving anything away - I have unopened product too as well as some that are half-full and a quarter. And I'm certainly not spending money shipping anything either.

I have to make a decision quickly so I think I'll make it a lot sale but it would have to a be a local pickup.

I don't have any suggestions for you on the DC. I like Hairveda's Strinilla but I'd say Darcy's Botanicals Pumpkin is pretty good too (get it). Shescentit get's great reviews on that Banana Brulee :yep:, and then there's Curl Junkie......

I don't know what's in Target. I haven't walked their hair isle in over a year.

My favorite moisturizing DC are:

Curl Junkie Hibiscus and Banana Deep Fix (Ths stuff helped me BIG time when i big chopped!! It helped my curls form:yep:...VERY moisturizing! I NEED to buy this again!)

She Scent It Banana Brulee:lick:

Oyin Honey Hemp....have you tried this before?? You can use it 3 ways:yep:...very moisturizing as well.

Capilo Suela y Canela (Sole & Cinnamon)....I LOVE it! Only the cinnamon oil make it sting a little bit on your head...but i like it:look:...it smells really good too and it melts my tangles like NOBODY'S business! But it does have mineral oil in it.
