:lachen:....yes ma'am!! But i mean....i've been DC'ing its just that i just started back doing it regularly...weekly. I was doing them biweekly or monthly.:nono:

My hair stretches about an inch under my bra...which is almost claimable MBL....my last experience at this length was that my growth slowed down and it took me a while before i got to WL. Instead of seeing a change in length in 3-4 months as usual...it took about 6 or 7 months before i went from MBL to WL. I hope that doesn't happen again...it was frustrating!!!:wallbash:

But then again, i was relaxed and wearing my hair out more than i do now...PLUS i was using heat way more than i do now...instead of every 3-4 months i was using heat monthly.

I know this stall you talk about. I had to put mine away because it just seemed like we weren't going anywhere from one month to the next (when in reality we were doing a cross country marathon).

Put it away, seriously - put it away. Give yourself December through New Year's to do what you will then just put it away for the spring/summer or do styles that absolutely will not show your straight length.

Watch what will happen when you hit the fall months!!

Keep your conditioning and deep conditioning on point and protect your ends. Definitely dust as needed then put it up and away again - braid/twist outs, roller sets or just roller up the last half of your hair, updos, buns, etc.

You are going to fly right past your stall point!! HHG

Don't you DARE trim nothin!!!!:naughty:

Your ends look fine to me...give your hair time to catch up. I would just do a LIGHT dusting:yep: But don't you go doing no significant cutting on nothing or i sweah fo lawd!:nono:

:grin:


Your hair is pretty Angel! If you were to flat iron it i'm sure it would look different.

I need to figure out what I'll do to kick my hair up a notch. I dunno, maybe I'll add vitamins to my regimen?

I dunno... What I REALLY need to use up my products. That had been a goal for 2012 and I've only somewhat succeeded. I've definitely used many of them, but I have a lot to go to use them. There's a few shampoos I just don't like though, so I'll add olive and coconut oil to them to make them better.

Hair is in twists, but I'll take these out soon and turn them into braids.
 
I also may do my hair in big twists again... Let me see how I feel about it lol.

Maybe some "Havana"twists, maybe a weave? I've been wanting a big curly weave... We'll see!

LynnieB Thank you SO much for the advice! I'm going to straighten next month and try to wear it straight for about 2 weeks...and then back up it goes....although...i was also kinda thinking about having it straight or my Bday in January as well and THEN hide and protect....i really want to enjoy wearing straight hair right now since its not as humid in Florida. It's humid but just not like in the Summer/Spring time...ugh!

I THINK i might straighten only twice next year....but if i reach my goal by March or April then...it may go up to 4 times next year.

I hear so many ppl say that they have hair that grows uneven just to find it will always grow that way. All i can think of is...just dust your ends....grow out to your goal or little bit past...and THEN do your 1 inch trim to even it out.

I say get em done. Does your hair do well with braids tho?

I find for me, braids and twists damage my ends more than wearing it in a wng does. I wish i could wear braids more often. :( I don't know why its like that but it was the same when i was relaxed.

SmilingElephant, I think they are worse on my edges than my ends.I'm not big on wigs or weaves (my head is shaped funny and they never look right on me). Not sure what else to try...
 
SmilingElephant you know you better be good. my hair is floating I guess I been doing too much moisture uh? I did a protein treatment and this is the second time I checked it and still the same even thought I meant to do a prosity treatment but keep forgetting to bring it upstairs lol. or he vinigar

my hair grows uneven you will find you will always be cutting your hair. I am so glad I don't wear my hair straight anymore it is a pain. curly you can hide all that.

Ya know....when my hair in the front starts being all floaty, for some reason it needs more moisture to make it come down. I think its because its usually humid here in Florida...so when my hair is dry...it reaches out for the moisture in the air.....like a flower to the sun.
 
Oh, I want to henna and indigo so bad but I'm just waaaaaaay too lazy to do it. Just the thought of it tires me out. *sigh* And, I'm dealing with sinus headaches right now and henna has been known to bother my sinuses too. Eh, I'd better hold off.

My anniversary is coming up at the end of this month. I know my hubby is gonna want me to wear my hair out but, I think I feel a wig coming on. :look:
 
NJoy you betta wear dat hair out!

My hair is feeling back to its normal plushy-soft self. I now refer to my hair as either "teddy bear hair" or "the cloud" lol and right now it feels like a teddy bear on a cloud and smells really good!

I love my wash days!

Thought I'd stop in a post a couple of progress pictures! I am REALLY hoping that by some miracle, I will make WL before the end of 2012. It's ambitious, I know, but it's my hope. If not, during 2013 is good too! Anyway, I got my hair trimmed and my layers touched up and a flat iron for Thanksgiving. Here are some pics to show how close I am to what I think is WL for me. I can taste it!! :yep::lick:

Trimmed hair and layers trimmed and curled

Excuse my extreme back fat :lachen: but I think this is WL for me (smallest part of my non-existent waist)! I am close...

Again, where I am WITHOUT STRETCHING the hair out (go Stevie Wonder on the back fat please! That's my next goal!)

That's all folks! :)
 
Looks like I'll be trimming about an inch off tonight but I'm still hopeful to make it to full bsl by the end of this year. I've gotten lazy but I'm really going to buckle down on the sealing my ends.
 
Diva_Esq Girl you betta WERK!!:cool: I :love: your hair!

I have been having one God awful day...i went to work...and had to leave early bc i was feeling dizzy and nauseous. Then i get home...my mom is off on a rant about how she just hates my hair and i need to slick my edges back and blahdy blah. I told her that she is the only person that has a problem with my hair. And if it was a problem at my job, my managers would come tell me it was a problem.

There's a girl at work with hair bigger than mine!! Her fro is about as big as her little body and i absolutely aspire to have it!

UGH!!! i can't with people today. She was like.........screaming at me...while i'm not feeling good.:nono: I cannot wait to move out. I have one more month!

Good thing about today:

I received my Curl Junkie package today from CurlMart! :) Lots of smell good stuff!

And i had a customer who truly appreciated my help today...even said she loved me! :grin: Sweet lil ole lady:infatuated:
 
Diva_Esq you don't have far to go wow.

SmilingElephant girl just breathe. I love your new picture.

I am happy... I was have a lazy day a few days ago and so I just put my hair in four twist. then I kept it like that and it started to straighten out. all I can say is WOW... when I seen my hair hanging down my back I just started :grin: I was so happy so now I am keeping my hair in the 4 twist. I don't feel much like doing my hair any way. I co wash and moisturize and seal but not feeling like doing the wash n go because I would just be laying on my hair anyway.

I am hoping to report more growth soon. :yep:
 
i really need to rinse this conditioner out! :lol: it's been two days! i did take my plastic cap off, so i wouldn't cause over moisture. i will rinse and cowash in a few.
 
Diva_Esq

Your hair is fabulous and oh, so close! :drunk:
