Waist Length 2013

i am going to finally try out these hot rollers today. i am tee shirt drying now. going to start finger detangling soon. once my hair is fully dry, i am going to press the roots out with my flat iron and roll my hair. i hope it comes out pretty! it's date night!
 
Lol, I forgot I had joined this challenge....how ambitious of me! Currently full APL, but I'm not doing a length check till November. I can't see myself hitting anything but MBL in 2013....but hey, lets see what happens!

I am SO tired! I haven't really slept all week. The world is still spinning.

Im getting ready to go to the movies with my friend...but im not tryna be gone long...im pooted! Lol!

Im liking my messy curly bun and it has become my new staple style. Although, i did wear my regular wash n go which i think my new supervisor liked....bc the next day...she was rockin a pretty curly wig...i guess it was a half wig.

I went and bought some CES yesterday! :lol:^^

But...i was using SM products before i ventured into Cone Land and my hair actually likes their stuff....that's how i could tell its the cones. :(

Well....im training for my new job all month long...so I've been keeping my hair in a bun. Im paranoid about PSing...my hair at the crown likes to dread up on itself esp when im wearing a bun for a few days. It loves to just be curly and free.

Maybe tomorrow. :ohwell:

well for some reason my hair can not stay moist with the sm alone but I still like it I use it on my grand baby's hair and still the same thing.

what is ces??

how come you don't redo the bun? I spray my hair when I wear it out every night and detangle and then put it in the high bun and like you I like wearing my hair out so I just make sure that I seal and shampoo every week with deep conditioning also and I can avoid the breakage from cones or what ever.

I am still taking the vitamins and I really think I am seeing a difference not saying length at this point but the over all health of my hair it is looking great.

SmilingElephant I really hope this job works out for you and less stressful.
 
So today is wash day and I have already applied olive oil this week as my pre poo last night and later today I will be washing my hair with aubrey. and I am going to deep condition with moroccan oil intense mask.
 
I'm thinking about trying pure henna on my scalp & a gloss for my hair for the first time since being natural. I may do it on sat. I'm a lil scuured tho! LOL

Shadiyah CES is Curl Enhancing Smoothie. Yeah, i do redo the bun but my hair just doesn't like being pulled up...i get more tangles with doing buns than i do with wash n goes. I don't know why.

So far the job is okay...so far. Lol!

jesusislove1526 wow your hair looks great. I think you will be there in no time.

I am still hanging in there. I am back to my wash n go's and just making sure I pay close attention to my ends. I am only trying to co wash every 2 days to give my own oils time to replenish.

So far so good my hair seems so much better and I really think it is the vitamins. Oh I got to try the curls line from Paul Mitchell.
 
:hiya: ladies! Sorry, I have been MIA! I let my membership lapse for a while :look: I have been busy trying to get acclimated to my new job, so I have had very little interest in my hair and I've had no time to do it :nono: I have only washed, conditioned, and thoroughly detangled my hair twice in the last 3 months :shocked::spank: I just wet it everyday and let it :afro:...I had some knots when I detangled last night, but it could have been much worse! I am back on target now and I will be taking care of my hair again :yep:

I may not have much progress for the last half of this year, but such is life. I had bigger priorities, but I am making hair a top priority again :grin: I might pay someone to do protective styles once a month for me if things stay this hectic. But I definitely am going to start taking care of my hair again and frequenting the forum! Plus, I have missed you ladies! No more bimonthly lurking for me :ninja:

No I am off to try and catch up on the thread!
 
Count me in....

hopefully i can get my longest layer to wsl.....mbl to wsl seems sooooooooo long

i need to find a way to post pics

Will post reggie later.....

On my search for growth stimulating essntial oils
 
jesusislove1526 Woohoo! Your hair is so thick, lush and long. You will be HL in no time!

Well, I think I've finally made MBL; at least in the middle section I inadvertently pulled over the weekend. My progress seemed to have stalled this year, but I was probably just being impatient.
 
I really want to be in on this challenge but I'm skeptical because I'm not even APL :( I'm extremely motivated and I think with dedication I can be a success story!!!
 
I was looking for a challenge like this.....I'd love to join. I hope to be at or pass waist length by Dec 2013. Posting a pic of my length.

You don't have long to go at all. My hair wants to be just like yours when she grows up lol! I am just now reaching APL and it took about 7 months to get there. I'm just patiently waiting to hit another growth spurt so that I can claim BSL then hopefully WL.

Hey ladies! :)

I went to the BSS and purchased some hair to put in my fall twist extensions. I kinda thought about doing box braids instead but I decided not to. It think I'll do some box braids with Marley hair after this set.

No Friday night boogie for me, I'm gonna be working on hair. I've gotta figure out which movie series I'm gonna use for hair night -- LOTR or Harry Potter..
 
Welcome to all the newbies. kurlllz your hair is almost wl.

We have been around since the end of 2011... man that is a long time. I am getting ready to henna my hair later today. Hang in there yall we are almost done.
 
:hiya3:

Just a quick update - My nape is touching the top of my bra and based on this assessment I don't think I will be reaching WL by the end of 2013...I have a short torso so I don't know :lol:. The reason that after 3 years since I BC my hair is not longer is due to constant trimmings and not protecting my hair.

Updated regimen:
LUV Naturals product system - Weekly or bi-weekly
mini twists
co wash
oil scalp
