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. :(

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:

ImanAdero that is why I don't like going by those things and also because I don't wear them lol :lachen:
 
OK, I have been MIA a few days and just played catch up. I just did my wet length check and that is where I let the shower water run over my hair and I have someone take a pic. I have been doing this every yr since 2011 and I most say I am so happy about the results. It still proved that I only get 3" per yr but you know what it don't matter, what matters is that I GET IT!!! RIGHT???
So I will keep doing what I do which is deep conditioner twice a week and wear my wash n go's. I use what works for me also and it is Mixed Chicks. I use Aubrey for my shampoo and Aubrey's GPB for protein because I have been trying to add that to my routine only like twice a month or so. I need to henna my hair but I just been lazy about that one plus the front of my hair is getting too straight. For the most part I co wash every other day but as soon as I can get it warm in here I will be going back to everyday.

I will not make it WL at the end of the yr but I will be close and I am glad about that. I know my hair growth slowed down a lot and just wished I could have had all this knowledge when I was younger but I am happy for it now.

I need 6" and I will only get 3" insha Allah (if Allah wills) that will be the longest I ever been in my life yaaa. I never flat iron my hair don't like it and it will not last out the day so why put my hair through that.

so never said my numbers the last time I did the tape measure thing it was 13" and the wet length was going past my BSL so I am happy because pictures are worth a thousand words. I don't care what those numbers are and hey get you down when it seem like they have not moved a inch when you look at that picture and you compare you see with your own eyes, it has truly grown......
 
I'm joining this challenge. This will be my second attempt to waist length and a small promise to myself to not cut my hair back to APL mid year LOL. Here's my starting pic at almost MBL

Happy New Year Ladies! I am going to the hair dresser on Friday and will post my pics then...I think I am close to BSL! I hope I don't need to trim too much :look:

I'm staying in this challenge all year! I committed, and I'm still here. Even though my longest layers are waist length, I still want the rest to catch up.

My NY Hair Resolutions:
Increase my DCing and Steaming.
Perfect my WnG/ curly girl routine.
Continue protective styling.
Enjoy wearing my hair out more.
Grow my natural hair shirt business more.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, LADIES! :)
 
Did a cowash with Molasses, honey and Vo5, Wet Bunned. I also picked up some Aussie 3 min miracle and some Spring Valley HSN Vitamins w/added 1000 mg Biotin. Since I already co-washed before I picked up the Aussie, I tried it on my mom hair as a DC, she has it in as I type. Let y'all know how it goes.I applied to dry hair and had her sit under hooded dryer for 10 minutes.
 
I went to the hair salon today and I finally got a trim. I was surprised that she didn't take off as much as I thought she would. I think I'm grazing MBL now. I'm going to keep wearing protective and low manipulation styles until the summer where I hope to reach wl. I will only use heat once during that time period after my next relaxer which will be in April. Wish me luck! HHG!

Looking great!
 
I'm in!!!!

ETA: Here's my beginning pic after my trim yesterday.

I'll update my length check pic this summer after my next trim.
First pic was taken when hair was damp with DC in it before the trim.
The second is on air dried hair after the trim.

My Goal is for the hair to fall where my natural waist is (you can see that line in the second pic.)

Good luck to us all!:yep:

When i get to my laptop i will put a trophy on your name :) Congrats on waist length!

Yall just showin out, huh? :grin:

I went to CVS and bought a few Dominican rinses.
I got:
Baba de Caracol
La Bomba
Crece Pelo

I used Baba de Caracol today to co wash and detangle. When i start running low on my current deep conditioners i will be replacing them with Dominican conditioners.

I cant wait for the spring/summer....when my hair seems to grow the fastest.:-D
 
Can I join?

I'm currently BSL and would love to get to waist length by the end of 2013. I think my hair may grow a bit over half an inch a month because over a year I think I get about 7.5 inches but I'm not too sure.

How far is BSL from waist length?

SmilingElephantI can't take the trophy yet. I am not waist length. I have to take a picture next time to show how far from waist length I am. I am box shaped so my waist is not as defined.

MixedGirl it really depends on your body. I am 6" from bsl to my waist but your body maybe longer or shorter. you will have to measure.
