Waist Length 2013

well my Philip Kingsley hair tonic got here today. I measured my hair and it is still about 13 and longest hair is a little longer. I want to see how much witch hazel is going to do my hair lol.

I am back to my wash n go's and trying to work out this frizz... this is why I don't like messing with my hair doing other things.
 
Went out to my local Indian store and picked up some henna and Vatika oil. It's about that time. Uh, but not tonight.
 
I wont be on here (personal life issues) again after my subscription runs out (this year), so I am going to have to drop out of this challenge. I still plan on making it to WL by years end, I just won't be able to participate (adding photos, etc.). Good luck to you all.

Good luck!


Wash day tomorrow and then going to attempt another 3 week wash day 'stretch'

Although we are going HARD at cheer (im a competitive cheerleader) and it means a lot of sweating (sorry TMI) so I may not be able to stretch it as long but we will see!


For anyone wondering about competitive cheer

Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way! When stuff happens in my personal life, I realize my hair is just hair :)

Any naturals have a fear that the next time they straighten their hair that they'll need a two inch trim? Thats what i fear. Am i the only one?

i used to have that fear. but i now know that things will go fine. i dont get heat damage ,i use à good heat serum ,i dust every 10-12 weeks.

no problem anymore.
 
I have to remember that as I get further into my 16 - 18 week relaxer stretch my hair will look shorter and shorter and I'm NOT to panic:nono:

I don't fear it but I'm pretty sure I'll need to trim. My natural hair splits when it's in it's natural state no matter what I do. Right now it's in braids under a wig but I'm still pretty sure I'll need a trim because they are not braided to the end. It's like I'd rather plan for a trim than not and be shocked and sad if I need one, ya know? Lol
 
Ok, I'm loving my new protective style. My hair is twisted up and pulled back into a pony with ends wrapped and tucked under. I've attached a Marley ponytail that I made and covered the attached area with a bow. It looks so natural and hangs around WL+. Or, I bun it into a messy bun and it looks fabulous.

Yep. This is gonna be me for a minute. :yep:

PICS!
sounds pretty!
 
SmilingElephant I am not sure if I will or not because I don't straighten my hair at all not even for length ck. It is never worth it for me because my hair will not stay that way for a whole day lol. I do long for a rollerset but too lazy to do it. My arms hurt too fast to do it there would not be a problem with air drying since I stay up all night.

I just past my 4yr anniversary this past Dec/Jan and I plan to pay more attention to moisture this yr. I started with co washing more like my old schedule of everyday and if I don't to spray it with aloe vera and vitamin E with a little water mix then using Hairveda whipped creme as my moisturizer.
 
I took a progress pic today and I'm very pleased with my growth so far (see sig). It seems like reaching WL before summer will be doable, but full WL will take a bit longer.
 
I think I'm just going to blow dry my hair every three months and trim an inch every three months and search and destroy in the meanwhile...trying to prevent breakage, remove heat damage strands, retain more etc.

I fear the same which is why I will be trimming an inch every 3 months starting April-July and October with a light blow dry. No more trimming my hair natural.
By the end of the year I won't need to do a big trim and by the end of 2014, I should be full WL hopefully. That was my real goal because I think I'm either a slow grower or 2011 was a bad hair year for me with tons of breakage and heat damage....

No M'am. I try not to expect a negative outcome with anything.
