Waist Length 2013

Add me please it has been a long hard road but I can see myself at graduation (my masters) with WL hair flowing from it ! Leggo !
 
I'm in too. I took a break from hair this year (plus everthing else) and I shouldn't have done that. lol

WL by 2013 sounds doable
 
I am in, are we talking streched or unstreched?

This challenge is for both natural and relaxed.....if your goal is to reach WL by 2013 you are welcome to join:yep:...for most of us naturals/transitioners we're doing our length as WL stretched by 2013....but if anybody thinks they can reach WL unstretched by 2013 you can join as well:yep:.....we're just aiming for our waists in 2013:lol:

Wow! The challengers list is getting long up in this piece!

Okay??? I liking it though.....and don't forget even if you are too late for me to ad your name to the list (January 31,2011) you can still join in even though the challenge officially starts December 31, 2010:)
 
So I said I was going to do a review of the new Suave Aloe Vera and the Shea Butter conditioners. This will be more of a mini-review.
I really really wanted to like these conditioners and used them both as a co-wash, leave-in, and rinse out conditioner and all though they did an OK job I can't say that I was overly impressed. They both have a decent amount of slip and softness to the hair. They are decent for detangling and don't seem to add buildup. Still I have used other products that give more umph. I give them 3 out of 5.

Onto my hair. I have been good about taking my time to detangle - still getting used to the fact that it takes time and patience in dealing with my kinky hair. I have learned that my hair must stay stretched esp. when sleeping as to avoid the dreaded SSKs. I recently bought some whole leaf aloe vera juice. My sister made a mix 50/50 of aloe vera and water in a spray bottle and it is awesome! I used some this morning and my hair is still somewhat soft - it is usually incredibly dry by the end of the day. I think I have a new ingredient to experiment with. :)
 
I wanna join!!! I'm in the 2012 one..but that aint happening! So I'd like to join this one! I'm NL and just touching my shoulders..
 
I totally want to try the Moptop Mavens formula with the Suave Shea Butter condish, fermodol (now owned by Roux) and Aloe vera, I need to go get some aloe from the health store, Im 3 months post and my new growth is off the chizzain since taking these nioxxin vits last month, I definitely have my 1.5 inches in the middle Im scared though Im not going natural just stretching until feb I havent been detangling just finger combing into a bun until I get my half wigs in the mail......
 
I started the BC to WSL challenge (naturals only) and our goal is WSL by 2013.

Add me to this challenge and I can update both at the same time, it will be fun to watch some relaxed heads grow to WSL too! This is going to be fun!

I BC'd to about an inch in Apirl 2010 and I now have 5.5 inches of hair.

I don't think I've ever been so excited about a challenge before! I'm between APL and BSL right now. My ultimate goal is a healthy head of tailbone length stretched. Every journey begins with the first step right?
 
:hiya: I would like to join please! :yep:

I am currently just past SL (for me that is about 8" in the back. The front and sides of my hair are only about 7". Lol. My hair grows so weird). I'm completely natural and have been since Sept. 15 2009. I have been surprised at how much my hair has grown and how fast time has flown by! It's grown so much that many family members who don't see me on a regular basis have asked me if I'm wearing a wig. LOL! I take it as a compliment. :blush:

I decided this year to use a fully ayurvedic regimen. So far I really like it. I won't lie, it can get a bit messy with mixing the powders and applying and all that... but the way my hair feels! OMG, my hair loves this reggie. So does my bank account! If anyone is ever interested in this type of reggie, check out the Moptop Maven. Her blog (and youtube channel) is WONDERFUL!

Anywho, I wish everyone luck on their journey to WL in 2013. This will be fun, I think! :grin: SN: If anyone is interested at all in seeing my starting pic, here is a link to the HYH 2011 Challenge I am in as well: 2011 HYH Challenge! Starting Pix (Part I) - Page 4 - Long Hair Care Forum I am the 6th post down I believe.
 
Hey y'all! Just checkin' in while I deep condition under the dryer with Redken Smooth Down Butter Treat, Shescentit Banana Creme Brulee and EVOO! ;)

Why does that sound edible?:lick:...:grin:

Well ladies....i BC'd on the 12th so that means.....

I'M NEWLY NATURAL!!!!:lol:

Waist Length stretched 2013 let's get it!!!! I am in need of a deep conditioner that does grandiose things:grin:......so i just ordered the Banana Hibiscus.....i never remember complete names of products....but anyway....the Hibiscus Banana deep treatment from Curl Junkie, yesterday as well as the Curls in a Bottle.

I'm still on my Tresemme Naturals conditioner though:lick:....i LOVE that stuff!! So last nite i shampoo'd with my Catwalk Oatmeal and Honey shampoo, conditioned with the Tresseme and detangled with my Tangle Teezer....that thing is Jesus in the form of plastic you here me? Works MIRACLES!!!!:lol:...

...and after towel drying i put in Tresseme as a leave in and Seyani Hair Butter for moisturizing and some Jojoba oil....the hair in the front feels very soft and fluffy.....my peeps in the back is so dry and crunchy.....i might have to start buying products for to different textures is what it seems.
 
I'm thinking about attempting to braid my hair up...:lol:

I dunno WHAT to do with it....but i need a style...especially for the front of my hair....its soooo out of place with the rest of my hair!:nono:
