Waist Length 2013

Hey ladies :hiya: Just checking in! I decided to give my hair a break by doing mini twists...I am 60% done, but it already took me 4.5h :nono: I have probably 3h left to finish SMH But since it is my first time, I am pretty slow! And I am parting & sectioning carefully bc I don't want to chance ANY setbacks :yep: I gotta grab all those hairs hehehe I have 2 years and 3 months to get this hair to WL :lol: But my nape hair did make it past CL, so I am getting pumped that it is still possible :grin: I am giving up for the night & finishing my hair tomorrow :yawn::spinning: These twists better last for a month, bc my back is hurting from doing them :look:
 
I am sitting with henna at this moment and will be washing it up sometime after I sleep for a while this morning because i don't feel like wetting my hair more then once today. I have to work on my moisture after this because I have been having a problem with my hair getting dried out by the end of the evening, don't know why yet but will up the moisture. I may go back to bagging at night if what I am doing is not working. I know one thing I can not wait to get through this henna I have because it is not the strong red that I love and I will stop putting the lemon in my henna at this point on. Things are changing as my hair gets longer.

I am in line as everyone else waiting on end all product to see if this will help me out. I usually don't use butters on my hair but I am in a crunch.
 
Hey Good people, count me in this challenge!

I have layers at Chin length, CBL and nearly APL. I want to even them up at some stage, but first on to waist length!!
 
Soooo yeah....I decided to wear a puff today...I couldn't find my usual skinnty headband for it...so I substituted it with a thicker...newer one.

It started hurting my head at work...and when I tried to take it off...a small portion of my nape hair got severely tangled in it!!! But it was a minute portion...however I had to cut it out...I lost like half in inch off those strands :(...but my hair grows kinda fast so I'm not TOO mad about it.

Seems like thee safest style for me is a wash n go. My hair doesn't hold twists in well and it now gets tangled in headbands when in a puff:lol:...on THAT note...I just went to the store and bought some KCCC and KCKT. FINALLY. I'm gonna try them tomorrow:yep:...I hope it works similar to EcoStyler as in giving a little weight to my curls without being hard and feeling crispy. I heard it can leave a sticky feeling but I'd take sticky over hard, dry and crunchy everyday. I did open them and smell them tho. I REALLY love how the custard smells!!! Can't wait to try!!!:D

Applying a little oil can help it not feel so crunchy.
 
So I am sitting here with soak and wet hair because I have been missing my curls. I did henna the other night and washed it out about 6am and then I had some tragic when I found my neighbor so I never got to do my hair and I just moisturized it and left it in a bun until now. I just kept taking it out and putting more stuff on it to keep it moist and even spritzed it with acv mix.

I will be up all night anyway cutting out this dress so I figure why spend my day tomorrow or today waiting on my hair to dry when I can enjoy my curls lol. I just co washed so the oils were still left in there so I didn't really have to put anything in it but the product I was using to define my curls which I decided to use mixed silk this time.

I am trying my very best to take care of my ends but I can not do buns everyday. I have been in a ponytail most of my life and since I have found this board and discovered my curls I will not let them go lol.
 
well my hair is finally dry and although it has the greasy curly look that I can not stand I will deal with it if this is what I have to do to protect my ends and hair for that matter. before I co wash I had use coconut oil and jbco and shea butter and hairveda whipped ends on my hair and ends, just so I could have that slip and I had spritz it with the acv mix and bun it for some hrs before the co wash so that is why is like greasy but I don't care just as long as I can wear my curls without having hard ends or breakage.

will keep you updated to see if this makes a difference. Happy hair growing lol
 
Got my hair out today! It's raining so I didn't want to wear my half wig. But honestly the only reason I have my hair out is so I can catch a whiff of my Avosoya oil when I move lol. Still pushing for WL in 2013

Binetad I am so sorry to hear about your problems. Have you tried to keep your ends seal with shea butter or something like that? or have you tried dabur vatik oil? I use jamaican black castor oil on my scalp and that helps me a lot. and I just started sealing with shea butter because my ends were starting to get hard and I didn't want to be clipping them too many times.

I co washed today and the oil treatment I gave my hair yesterday protected my hair and was still there so there was no need to add anymore oil to my hair but I put curl definer in and let it dry. I will spritz my hair with the vinegar mixture and put in high ponytail to save my curls.

Waiting on kinky curly line to get here and then I will be washing my hair with shampoo and conditioner to see if my hair likes it. I know one thing this search is costing me plenty.
 
I fixed my weave! I took out one of the tracks and cut some bangs...

My head feels so much better! Lol

I started cutting the track out because I thought I was gonna take my hair down because it's breaking out my skin.

Heres what it looks like now. please excuse how big the picture may be. It's from my phone.

I have a feeling you might really like Kinky-Curly....i redid my wash n go today....i used ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo....i don't have the Come Clean Shampoo...will be buying it after i run out of the Creamy Aloe is done....

Then after shampooing i used the Knot Today to condition and detangle with in the shower....worked quite nicely!!!:yep:....THEN after i got out the shower i took to dime sized amounts of the KCKT and distributed it thru my hair and applied the KCCC in sections....like 5 sections...then...i sprayed my hair down with more water to make sure everything was equally distributed and shook my head vigourously...here's the results:

Yea I always have my hair braided but co wash twice a week and baggy everynight. I seal with different of oils depending on my mood. When i use shea butter it makes my hair too oily and i really don't like that. I recently started to moisturize with water and seal my shaft and ends with Vaseline, and my scalp with coconut oil. I'm also eating healthy and getting proper nutrients but growth is really slow =/

NikkiQ, We are soooo sad to see you go. :sad: If you leave I will have to leave too :ohwell:

Nooooo don't do that faithVA. I'm dropping out b/c I just don't feel a connection to this challenge anymore. Just seems like I post in here just to bump it and not out of excitement to share good news.

NikkiQ do you just feel you will not make in a years time? or do you mean the love in here is just not the same? With such a long challenge you are going to have your ups and downs but I don't think that is a reason to leave if you are still trying to meet that goal. if you not then that is another story.

It was so exciting in here in the beginning and now it is just like we are posting just to keep it alive. but that is ok too because there will be some down time.

Speaking of a post my hair is in a dry curl because it is too cold for a wash n go so when I washed my hair about 2am I twisted it in 4 twist and tied it up and let it dry so when I got up it was too cool in here to wet it again so I used some of my curl products on my hair that said it would work on wet or dry hair just so I could get some kind of curl pattern going on here. because I do anything with my hair when it is wet it will turn out straight or somewhat like that.

But come on people show Nikkiq that we are not dead in here:dance7: lets take her to the finish line.....:cowgirl:

Love your hair girl I think we have about the same products in our kit. lol
 
Well technically...the year is pretty much over....so we have like a little over a year before this challenge is up.

What do you guys think we should do to liven this thread up?? I seriously don't want this thread to die :(....and i REALLY don't want NikkiQ or anybody else to just leave.

Any ideas?? I was thinking maybe we could post interesting articles related to hair health or just hair in general...idk.

I would LOVE to see the style gifted members show off their skills in here. Bc i suck at styling right now....im not used to hair this short. :/ I can't find simple styles for awkward length on YouTube.
