I'm trying to get NJoy to organize another meet up. Hopefully you'll get to come! Welcome back!!!
 
Shadiyah - Congratulations and best of life with your move.
I wish I could add more to this thread - but seeing that I am nowhere near the possibility of WL - I can't . But if I were I would be driving everyone crazy with my posts - to the point you all would wish I would stop posting. I would be THAT HAPPY!!! :yep:

Be safe and happy journey!!!

Give a little bit of a notice this time please. I owe one of my girls from another board a trip to ATL and I'd love to molest your hair meet you guys! :look:
 
Whohoo, welcome ladies! :)

Shadiyah-

GL w/your move! I hope you settle in quickly!


OK, I need to go to bed since I get up early. One of my new resolutions in tweaking my regi is to get enough rest. I've already upped my water intake. If I could get my rest in order, I'm sure my hair and body will reap the benefits.
 
I can not wait for this meet up. it will be my first one ever. I am coming with my veil and all.

I really went back on my word and applied the henna to my hair last night. My friends got me so excited about the henna talking so much about it the other day that I just could not wait but from all the grey that was there I got good growth it is just seeing if I retained it.

Oh lawd. A hair molester. :lol: I'll give plenty of notice. I'm just starting to consider venues and will start soliciting imput soon.


... And btw, if you're giving out trips....er, um...keep a sista in mind. :look:
 
I have now added Natasha Somalia Revitalizing Hair Growth Supplements to my regi. I can not wait to see what help it will give me for my growth. as much as I hate taking vitamins I am so proud of myself because I took the omg I can not remember the name of them but they were told to me that it was the cheaper version of the Viviscal.

Now Natasha Somalia line gives you 120 tablets for $50.00 2x aday. I will keep you all posted. I am giving my best to make it to WL in 2013 and even if I don't make it I will be happy to see MBL. I am in plaits during my move.

My hand is at the top of my hip bone.

Two lines below my hair is when I will officially claim MBL.

My hair is severely shrunken due to WNGing in these mini braids.

Congrats on your growth MzSwift, just wondering about your measurements, isn't the 2 lines below your hair on your shirt closer to your waist than mid back?

Please y'all correct me If I'm wrong, but this is what I thought waist was, I go by bridal dress measurements, and couturier measurements... Which is the smallest part of your waist indentation when you bend from side to side...

This is also how I've been measured for dresses...

Thanks lady! :)

Yes it's closer to WL, but since MBL is so hard for me to measure on my body without looking at pix or in a mirror, I'm using my bottom rib bone as MBL/my next goal.

Besides, hairnorexia is NO JOKE and my hair doesn't feel anywhere near WL!!

MzSwift - I don't know if my method is accurate or not but I'm attaching a pic of how I measured my torso. This pic is years old but I think the 1st line is BSB for me & the 2nd line is where I would claim MBL. & of course the 3rd line is WL.

Technically though, if you were defining MBL as the middle of your torso, MBL would be right in the middle of my bra strap. I wear my bra very low for some reason. Also, southerntease (don't know if she's still around or not) used the tape measure with a grommet on the end & laced a ribbon through the hole & tied it around her neck so that she could measure/take photos easier. Hope that makes sense. Better yet, HTH...

**** MESSAGE CONCERNING SMILING ELEPHANT****

I'm a day late and a dollar short but, I'm supposed to deliver the message that her membership has expired. She didn't want you to think that she just flaked out.

When/if she'll be back, she didn't say. But, I suppose this is temporary. In the meantime, she's posting over at Long hair community as HappyHair87, if you need to hunt her down for anything.

NJoy can you please give her a message for me please. tell her I will pay her membership just come back email me @ [email protected]
 
it don't make any since how dead it is around here. I have been moving and packing and unpacking and you guys are still a no show.
 
You're right....the whole board has seemed quieter to me lately.
I've decided that the regimen that I've been on as of late will be the one that will take me to wl by the end of 2013:yep:
 
Waist Length 2013.... HECK YEA!!!! I'm so in! Plus, I have a bet with a friend that doesn't believe that black women hair can grow that long. So I'm focus, determined and patiently ready to prove them wrong. :drunk:

really what is that because I am trying to figure out if I am getting any where. I am on vitamins right now.
 
Going to have a former teammate put twists in my hair on Sunday. I'm excited because I really like how hers look!

Plus I REALLY need to do something with my hair. Right now I'm so over it and in order to not do something drastic, I have to put it away. She's only charging me 50 so I dunno how long it will last me, but hopefully a good month or longer.

I just need it to last until I'm finished with this half marathon.

Shadiyah I haven't been consistent with my vitamins but I've introduced tea rinses in my reggie (the last 2 months). I use some teas for scalp stimulation, shedding, beautiful moisture, shine and strength. So tea rinsing, cowashing, oil rinsing, regular Dc's, aloe rinses etc..they are all having my hair feel and look it's best right now. I'm not going to deviate from my almost daily cowash which includes an oil, tea and avj rinse. I make sure I do a final rinse of AVJ and tea and I use a couple aryuvedic powders (that I make into a tea). I wish I had started on the tea rinsing earlier but it is what it is. I actually started on the tea rinsing because I knew I wouldn't be consistent with scalp massages so I figured tea would take place of that.
 
i'm here! i was going to order some WEN today, but decided against it. i just got my DS a basketball hoop! i really need to start focusing on the my little guy that is coming in March! plus, i really like the Mizani Milk Bath cleanser. i think i will stick to that. i use cones a lot and this has sulfates in it, but it is creamy like a conditioner.

i am dc'ing my hair right now. i am going to get under the dryer and rinse. i haven't decided if i want to air dry or roller set.
 
I think I am scraping APL now. I would say I need an inch more to claim it. I dont think I am going to make WL by the end of next year. I think that I will be at MBL at best but I am still trying. I am a little nervous that I will have to cut my hair once post partum shedding is over. :nono:

Here is a pic from the beginning of September. I think I have about 7 more inches to WL.

Nix08 oh thank you very much. I don't have a problem massaging I do it late night while I am watching tv. I have a problem leaving my hair alone. I love wearing it out.
 
shortdub78

Thanks so much girl! I'm too scared to claim it though. I dunno why.
And aww, Shortdub's having a shorty!! LoL (Sorry, I'm such a geek)
Congratulations, mama!!

Lexsmarie

Wow, your name is very close to my best friend's name and we live in Michigan as well. That's cool!

Nix08
I credit ayurveda for improving the health of my hair. I'm glad to hear that you're having good results as well.
