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.

I won't cut for a while. ..I do believe the difference is pre and post hair journey...I guess when the stylist said I was over processed she knew what she was talking about:look:
 
Hey ladies!

Sorry, I've been M.I.A., life has been hectic. But I'm still hanging in there!

You grow girl!

I know I'm corny haha, but your hair looks GREAT! Keep it up!
 
MzSwift So when i saw your hair....i choked on my bbq ribs!

Awesome lady!!! We are definitely going make our goals next year ladies!!!

Just keep doing what works! Keep up on the DC'ing and baby those ends. We will get there!

Congrats to EVERYONE on your progress!!
 
Hey guys, I'm still in the challenge and I just wanted to post my end of the year pics. The first pic is my hair blowdried and the second pic is my hair flat ironed. I'm currently a little bit past BSL, but I'm going to get a trim next week which would probably take me back to grazing BSL depending on how much the stylist trims off. HHG!

Hey MzSwift your hair looks great. We started about the same time. I didnt completely shave but had about 2inches all around. My hair right now is sitting right above my bra...maybe covering it. I havent done an official length check in a while.
I havent posted for a long time but this year Im ready to kick my hair growth into gear. I want waist length so bad I can taste it. Hope its not too late to join the group. I will post some pics later on this wk when I wash and twist my hair.
I currently wear my hair in two strand twist during the wk and if I have a function or something going on during the wknds I will untwist and flat iron the roots a little to make my hair fuller. However, I think thats stunting my growth.

SO my plan for 2013 is to only use the flatiron once a month. I want to increase my henna/indigo treatments. More consistent with my vitamins. My boyfriend and I bought a vitamix for xmas so I plan on getting more veggies and fruits in my system. Increasing my workouts to six days a wk and drink plenty of water. PROTECTIVE STYLES everyday of the wk is my GOAL.

Happy growing ladies
 
I don't know what i really need to change to upgrade my haircare for 2013. I was thinking of deep conditioning twice a week, but i won't have time during the week because of my work schedule...and i don't like going to sleep with wet hair.

I was thinking about going back to using dominican products....some of those conditioners really do good things for my hair. Especially the Sole and Cinnamon one! I need to buy a big thing of that stuff. I have been shedding a lot lately and i did notice when i was using that conditioner that i did not have as much shedding.

I swear i pulled a Furby out of my head on Friday!:grin: But i hadn't detangled in a week.
 
My end of year pics are in my signature and attached. Waist length here we come!

Hello ladies. Looking back on 2012 has been a life changing year for me. In terms of hairgrowth it has also been a year of a great comeback from a setback that I suffered in Jan 2012. Below shows pics from how I started the year in January 2012 and how I ended the year Dec 2013. Glory be to God.

Below shows pics from how I started the year in January 2012 and how I ended the year Dec 2012. I hope 2013 I get double or triple the growth. So ladies it is possible to make a comeback after suffering from a setback. Glory be to God.

^^^ Yep, you sure can!

Beautiful Hair Ladies!

I'm still wet-bunning. Moisturizing and sealing every night. I will be using the following products right now Monistat, Sublimed Sulfur, castor oil, EVOO, EVCO and Grapeseed oil. I also am taking Spring Valley HSN from walmart. My hair will be in a bun 99% of the time for the next 6-7 months. I want to try the Aloe vera/glycerin as a moisturizer.
 
Happy New Year ladies!!!:woohoo:

We made it! So happy to see all of my crew making such excellent progress!
This is our last year in this challenge, so lets get it ladies!

This year i hope to stay on top of my deep conditioning game. My hair gets dry when i dont and dry hair can lead to split ends.

I also hope to stay on my inner health game. I take gummy multivitamins by Alive and i want to get back to taking my Omega 3-6-9 and also stay on top of my water intake.

I plan to keep my hair curly for most of the year. It just looks better that way....to me anyway. I think i might straighten about 2 times this year.

Also....i am going to make myself not get so uptight about what kind of products i use. I enjoy the curly girl method but i sometimes cant always afford it. So im telling myself....whatever works....use it.

If its not causing any damage i will use it.

Growing your hair should be a fun hobby....not stressful.:)

So lets enjoy this last stretch ladies! Love you guys!
 
I'd like to join if I may. I'm grazing WL at the moment, so I'd like my other strands to catch up. I'm still figuring out my regimen for this year but it will likely involve:

  • Aubrey GPB 3x a month
  • Black Tea rinse every shampoo for awhile.
  • Sulfur based growth aid applied every other day
  • Keeping my hair stretched some type of way
I want to regain some volume, stop shedding, and regrow my nape.

Here is my starting point:

New Years Hair Resolutions:

- More deep conditioning
- More styling options (I think I want to try half wigs this year)
- Get my hair blog really going and publicized.
- Get good enough at corn rowing that I can wear my hair in that style lol.

I don't actually think I'll make it to WL in 2013, but I'll try!

End of 2012/Beginning of 2013 hair (this bra is MBL) my waist is a long ways away:
