Waist Length 2013

Charla said:
Well, ladies, this is my starting hair pic to start 2013. This is an old braidout taken today at about 12 weeks post. I hope to be at the 15.5 line by the end of March. The shirt stops at 18.5, which is MBL on me. WL would be about 1.5" lower than that.
(Btw, these numbers represent the number of inches of my hair measured from the top of my ears.) tallnomad :wave: Hey, Girl!

Hey girl--I was just thinking about you. I'm holding the vision of your hair getting to midback by end of March. You will definitely make it!

I'm still wigged up until at least March. Last time I checked, I was just about midback. Hope to have some pics soon.

I can't wait to see your pics of MBL! you are doing it! No MBL for me in March, though. 15.5 would be about BSB/BSL on me. Between me PS and growth aids, I'll get there!

Diva_Esq It is so nice to see someone make waist length and then aspire to greater lengths thanks. We have been waiting a long time to see this.

Seamonster: Yes, that's just the first layer to reach WL! I am talking to the others daily!! "C'mon now layers! You can do it! Take it to hip length, babies!" LOL! Thank you! :)
 
I am going to rev up the protective styling in 2013. I need to plan out some of my styles so I'm not bored.

I think in January I'll braid it, then after that I'll weave it.

I'm thinking bout adding henna to my regimen also. I've been wanting to dye my hair, but that simply isn't an option right now.

Maybe when I finally reach WL, I'll dye it, but for now, henna will have to give me the brownish/reddish tint I'm looking for.

Diva_Esq...

I wanted to ask you....do you go to a Dominican salon when you get your hair straightened?

I think i'm going to go to one when i reach Waistlength to celebrate. I just want a really good blow out:yep: And perhaps a trim. I was just looking at some videos and i think i have found a salon i would like to try.

:look:

I haven't been to a salon in over 4 years.
 
Good luck everyone!

Hey ladies!!!!

May I join?? I have no clue if I will make it or not. I need roughly 9 inches of hair for my bottom layer of hair to make WL.

I plan on protective styling with conrows all year. Its easier for me to keep up with and keep me from playing in it a lot. I will get my conrows redone once a month.

Starting pic below.

I'd like to camp out here please! I made WSL this year but my ends were horrible. I chopped all the way up to APL :look: My hair feels amazing, my ends are like silk but I miss feeling hair down my back :ohwell:

my plan is to use mostly ayurvedic and natural hair products for the year and also hide my hair with wigs or weaves. Will edit post later with starting pic

No, we don't have Dominican salons in Nebraska...it's more of an East Coast thing. But my stylist is the business!! I love him...white man! :)
 
Update pic for 12/31/12 checkin

I dont know that I will hit wsl for sure but I know I can at least be grazing. Will be focusing on retention for 2013

Still hoping for WL at the end of 2013:pray: I have some ends to deal with but after trimming 3 times in the last 6 months I think I'm done with the scissors for now:yep:

ScorpioLove Nix08 it seems like the 3 of us are the same length! Nice retention you guys!:yep:

I joined the 2013 bootcamp to make sure I'm on my game next year. Until i reach waist length at least.

Waist length seems like a journey to middle earth, just as long as my hair is longer/thicker at the end of this challenge, I will consider my journey a success
 
I'd like to join! If I can keep the flat iron away from my hair, I think I can make it. My longest layer is a little past BSL right now. I just trimmed my hair about an inch. :(
 
SmilingElephant yes I agree:yep: When do you think you'll make WL? I'm looking for hope:look: In your pic it seems so long but looking at my own hair it's like whatever, there seems to be many more years of growth to go.

Im hoping that by the end of April that I'll reach WL. I feel the same way....you guys' hair look longer than mine, but were at the same spot! Lol!!! That's so crazy!

I would like to join. I am currently bsl. My hair is natural and I believe I'm a fine strand 3c/4a texture. My hair is currently 13 inches, with some areas that are 14 in.

Nix08 if your ends aren't breaking or split don't cut it. It looks like lead hairs to me.
SmilingElephant I think you'll make your goal by April.
AlexandriaKiera welcome. Lovely hair & you're too cute.

I wonder when I'll make WL. I was going to blow dry for a length check but was defeated by the mere task. My last check was in June. I hope to make it by early 2013.
