Waist Length 2013

@MzSwift- Since you are in Michigan, do you have any recommendations for good places to get natural hair flat ironed and trimmed (w/o heat damage :lachen:)? I gotta start planning for the reveal :giggle:

ETA: I'm not even sure you get your hair straightened :look:

LoL, I sure don't straighten. However, this girl I used to go to for braids was always very careful with my texlaxed hair cause she thought it was natural. She's in Ypsi. If you're in metro Detroit, I can go look up her information for you!

I plan to start rocking blow dried hair once I reach MBL or WL, I can't decide. I don't want any barriers to reaching those lengths though.
 
As much as i love it...i think my scalp is allergic to KCKT....My head itches like crazy every time...i don't deliberately put it on my scalp...but it somehow gets on there...and my head goes to itchin'!

So i bought the GVP Conditioning Balm...i heard you can use it as a leave-in....i'll try that later this week.

Please let me know if you want to sell. Though I've tried KCCC, I've never tried the KT & I'm interested.

Ok I have my phone set for the alarm to go off for the sale on the 22nd so I can get that 40% on aveyou.com. I just want to stock up on my mixed chicks deep conditioner and the leave in I like to buy the large sizes and I am less than half way on my bottles and who wants to miss out on a sale lol not me.

I got a second day out of my wash n go after I went back to my old routine. loving it!!! I have my mixed silk but I don't want to run out of my mixed chicks when there is a sale.

Shadiyah, do you know what the code is for the 40%?
 
MzSwift- I live in Ann Arbor area, so I am close enough :lol: I would :love: that information...I only plan to straighten 2x/yr (for trims) until I reach my goal. By the end of the year, it will have been 7 months since I cut my ends/BC'ed :look:

OMG, you are right next door, girl!!
We totally have to meet up some time!! I'm in AA almost every Friday.

The shop is called Heavenly Creations and it's in Ypsi by the big cow. I'm gonna have to check my email for her name and phone number b/c I haven't been there since 2009. But she is a real sweetheart!

I'm up right now getting my braidout together for tomorrow night's boogie in AA! LoL
 
Girl, I'm finally finished!
I will search my email tomorrow and PM the info to you.
She's located on Ecorse Rd.

She specializes in weaves and braids but she is so gentle with natural hair. And she has a sweet spirit.
 
So it WAS the Kinky Curly that i was allergic to! :crying3:

I washed and deep conditioned yesterday and used different products for my wash n go...NO itching!!!

I used the GVP Conditioning Balm as a leave-in....and Roots of Nature curl cream.
 
I think I will join this thread if I actually hit midback next year. I never thought that I would want to have my hair waist length (as that would be A LOT of hair since I am 5'8 with a long torso).

However, if my hair was waist length straight, it might be APL-BSL length curly, which would be nice. I'm bsb now, and my hair shrinks to my shoulders.

I would enjoy wearing it cury more if it was where it is right now straight.

I guess we'll see :yep:
 
candy626- Your shrinkage sounds heavenly :giggle: Mine is 70-75% :nono: How long have you been natural? What hair type and texture are you? I am 5'8.5" with a long torso too, so I am trying to gather information :lol: Come on in and join us, MBL or not! Some of us aren't even APL yet :look:

:congrats: Nix08- Sounds like you'll probably reach WL in 2012 :yay:
 
i want to join you ladies, however i am not even APL yet lol i hope to be APL stretched by feb/march as i am a few inches awayfrom crossing the APL line lol

we will see how much progress i have made at the end of the year!!! i think 2013 wouldnt be a bad goal to make WL

Thanks, I think I may join in on this :spinning:
I am actually not natural, but use a mild relaxer every 12 weeks or so. Im a mixture of 3c/4a. I would say my hair shrinks 60%-75% as well :perplexed. Im thinking waist length is where I would need to be in order to get my hair curly hair where I want it to be.
 
Had a dream I was hip length with twist out hair...

::sigh::

I gotta go to town on my hair! I'm about to go H.A.M with my regimen for next year!
 
May I join? I have my eye on BSL in 2012. For me, I wear my bra pretty much at MBL.
And I feel, with my current growth rate, I can make it to WSL by December 2013.
I'll update with pics later if Im able to join. If not I'll be a lurking.
 
I know it's only been 6 months but I swear getting to APL feels like forever and a day! I don't know what's up but I swear my hair has gotten thicker. When I went to wash my hair last week it felt like there was more hair to deal with then usual. Not like I'm complaining but all of a sudden there are all these issues that I never had to deal with before like my hair rubbing against my shoulders and clothes. It drives me crazy so I don't wear my braid-outs down anymore. *sigh*

Girl hush...:poke:...:lol::lol::lol:....You and your issues! Ppl DREAM about having those issues!:armyhat::grin:

Thats a good thing:yep::yep:your hair is definitely growing!:flowers:

I am noticing my hair getting longer as well. My curls in the back dangle more and they droop. Because of my tighter curls on my sides...its causing my hair to seem to grow out instead of down. I think the closest youtube hair twin of mine would be MlleCafeAuLait...i love her videos! I also have more curly swang! This is cheesy but being natural is so much fun! It's like watching a baby grow up:infatuated:

:welcome: Newcomers! Come on in and grab some hot cocoa:lick::grin:

Okay....so this GVP Conditioning Balm....anyone else use it? That stuff is really nice:yep: Its thick, smells nice, but detangles like a beast!! I'm glad i found it....KCKT was nice but i didnt always use it to detangle bc its such a small bottle and cost about a hand:lol:. But the GVP CB comes in a bigger bottle...i accidentally bought it on sale $4.99:lachen:....and i can use it both as a leave in and a detangler! It does have parabens...but it is also cone-free.

That and the Miss Key 10 en 1 Super Conditioner...new staple! I WILL be buying the salon size of this when i run out of my current jar:yep:.

I know I need to stop with complaining all up and down this thread. :look: I am happy to be reaching longer lengths really. It's just that it seemed to happen overnight. :spinning: Oh, and I'm starting to get this weird triangle shape going. I think I just hit an awkward stage. But, maybe making it to BSL will fix that. :grin: BSL in 2012 here I come!
I think I got about 5 inches even with all the trimming and hair pulling I did this year. So I'm gonna hush now.
