Waist Length 2013

I think i'm gonna buy a fancy product tomorrow. But i don't know...and what would i buy?

I've been eyeballing the DevaCurl products lately....i wanted to try the OneCondition bc i hear its like a 3 in one product...conditioner/leave-in/styler...and use it on days i'm in a rush.

But i have 2 bottles of Tresemme Naturals to use up:perplexed

And then i was thinking about Pattern Pusha but...i have a whole thing of EcoStyler to use up...i JUST put a dent in it!:lol:..I've learned that my hair doesn't need a lot of gel...only the very front needs extra coverage.

I was thinking about a new leave in but TN does that for me too...hmmmm...

Maybe a new hairtoy instead? I was thinking about a fancy fragranced oil too, to seal with....i wanna treat myself to something....maybe i'll just buy clothes.:lol:

girl you sound like me. I have stop trying new stuff though and just buy everything on sale that I know work. If you seen my cabinet now you would shake your head.

well I came in here to tell you all that I got 1/2" in 19 days yyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaa don't ask me how I did it because I don't know. it could be that I stop using silicones for a while and now I have my whipped shea butter mix that I just take the shea butter blocks and add olive oil and jojoba oil and aloe vera juice and a few drops of lavender. and mixed it with the hand mixed. it is so soft and fluffy it goes on really nice on the hair.

:lachen::lachen::lachen: It could also be the weather change too Shadiyah. I'm scared to use Shea butter on my hair...if i use it..it has to be SUPER creamy and mixed with LOTS of oil.

Who is watching the game right now? Let's go HEAT!!!:grin:

SmilingElephant my son and hubby was watching the game I can not stand hearing men and those sports.

I hope it is the weather. and I said that I blended the shea butter with oils and aloe vera juice. it is so soft and smooth. it just rub through my fingers like butter. I don't think you would have a problem with this whipped shea butter. I really hope at the end of this month I get another 1/2" I will be jumping up and down forreal.
 
Shadiyah- That shea butter mix sounds lovely :yep: Congrats on the growth spurt :clapping:

SmilingElephant- How do you get such a luscious ponytail?! My hair just reached APL & a ponytail ain't happening :nono: I think my head is too big & I have too much shrinkage :lol: I always did have a hard time finding hats that would fit over it :lachen::lachen: I don't think a juicy ponytail will happen until I'm MBL :look:

MzSwift- We gotta have our hair extravaganza soon :gorgeous:

i got my hair in a ponytail today, but if i don't leave the house, it is going in a bun. my hair seems to be on track. i am finally APL!
 
shortdub78- Gurl, don't we all?!?! I stay jumping on bandwagons on this board :lachen::lachen: I probably would have gotten to APL sooner if I stuck with what worked, but I get antsy and am ALWAYS looking to upgrade my regi :lol: But we are here now, so that is all that matters :look:
 
I'm in the MID-Back length in 2013 challege (apri is my goal specifically)...But i do plan on being waist length by december of 2013 if not sooner!!....i want to join this challenge if its not to late....pretty please, with burnt sugar pomade on top :lol:...
 
Hi my name is Lynda e. and I would like to join. Hair is shoulder length stretched. Looking and stretching for a miracle:grin::grin::grin:
 
I have to play with this bun so not to get bored. I want my curls so bad, I mean I do let my hair air dry first so that I can have curls to put up. I don't want to play around with styles that will hurt my arms so I just keep smoothing out my ends. It seem like bsl is the hardess to get to.
 
Ok I'm in for the home stretch...here is my 2 year progress pic with big hopes of being WL by the end of 2013...the lower back of my hair seems to grow faster not to mention my crown area having started off at about 4 broken off inches. I now know to relax that area first and provide that area with extra moisture. I did a light self trim and then a search and destroy. I probably won't be trimming again until the end of next year.

Wait, Shadiyah...didn't you say you was using Mixed Chicks for your wash n go's? Have you tried a conditioner only wash n go?

I am not using mixed chicks at this time and if I do I will make sure I wash my hair with shampoo to get the cones out. I did tresemme only wash n go today so that I can put it in a curly bun tomorrow it be too hot to let it down all the time anyway. it came out nice. it always do I just can not stand the frizz later in the day lol I guess I have to learn how to keep my hands out of my hair :lachen:
 
Shadiyah I get frizz too, but I use a little gel on top of my head...sometimes my CJ Curls in a Bottle and it helps my frizz zone there stay calm. If it get out of hand still throughout the day I just put water in my hands and run it in my hair until it cooperates. :armyhat: lol
 
SmilingElephant well for now I am trying to really baby my ends for the summer so I will do it when it is not that hot in the house and the next day it is up. and as much as I want to see how my hair hangs straight I refuse to touch that heat lol
 
SmilingElephant I really like to follow her http://questfortheperfectcurl.com/2...-retaining-length-without-protective-styling/ but I am so chicken lol there are others on here that told me they grew their hair just fine without protecting. I really think for me with my set back it really had to do with using mixed chicks everyday but I was co washing only and not using shampoo and therefore I had product build up and didn't know it until I had all these split ends.

and can you believe she bc her hair a yr after I did and her hair is longer than mines and she started at the same length I did. :perplexed
