Good lord, chile, are you in my apartment somewhere?!?!?! Last night I did twists and my twist out is looking is booty (used a REALLY moisturizing LI and it was too soft), so I just started flat ironing my hair. I think I am grazing...but my hair is also naturally layered so the sides aren't APL...What say you?

I say you look APL to me considering you can kinda see your ends under that uber thick line you used to mark APL. CLAIM IT!!!

I'm down. Do you know I've been here all this time and haven't really done a forreal challenge all the way througH??? :lol: shame on me.

I just texlaxed my hair; it's probably only 30-50% relaxed or so. I'm thinking I'll be able to stretch the relaxer to about every 4-6mths. I'm a daily washer who rollersets and airdries overnight. Hopefully by the end of the year, I'll be able to just airdry and wear my hair in a ball...after that it's on! :yay:

Hmmm... waist length by 2013 doesn't sound like a bad idea for my hair. I have given up on achieving waist length hair but I may give it another shot. Right now, my hair is APL and I'm hoping for BSL by the end of this year or early next year. I just gotta stay away from the scissors and be more gentle with my hair so it won't split and break off.

UGH! :wallbash: I still didn't reach BSL at the end of 2010. :ohwell::sad::perplexed:nono:

I can stretch a section from my nape to my brastrap, but I want my hair to fall at that length when straightened.

Now I'm hoping to reach BSL by the end of 2011. I know one thing that's been lacking from my routine is consistent deep conditioning. I need to do it after EVERY wash.
 
I'm SL at present, so I definitely think WL by 2013 is doable. Count me in :) My hair is in a PS now (sewn-in weave) so when I take it out in May, I will post my progress.
 
Haven't posted in a while but I'm hanging in there....had some massive breakage and shedding after a horrible set of coils...so now I'm back in my old reliable two strand twists until God knows when...nursing my hair back to health.

Will update with pics when I get a new camera because someone broke my other one...toddlers...
 
Checking in, pleased with my growth/retention so far. I'm also aiming for the end of 2013.

Okay, I've been unable to commit to even wanting WL hair, but I think it's time. I'm in!:grin: I'm SL now and have 12 inches to go to WL, so I should be able to make it some time in 2013, even with trims included. I'm PSing in buns right now and I'm not sure how long I'm going to do that, it will depend on how I do with retention. I was disappointed at the end of 2010, and I feel I should be APL by now (I'll be 2yrs post relaxer 4/04), but I left out protein, stopped covering my hair when I slept, and wore a perpetual puff my first year natural, so I didn't retain like I should have.

Anyway, enough rambling! Now that I have joined this challenge I have officially committed! I think I'm a little nervous!:lol:
 
Hi newbies!
I finally have my scalp in order no more horrible itchy scalp for me. :) Started working out so it is back to cowashing mid-week.
I'm starting to notice mid-strand splits along some of my shed hairs. It's probably time for a protein treatment. I'll have to remember to do one with ApHogee 2 Minute the next time I wash my hair and a hardcore protein with ApHogee Two Step some time this summer.
 
Hello ladies!! :wave:

Finally got some innanet back in my life :lol:

I just wanted to shoot thru and see what's up! My hair is steadily growing like a weed even tho I've been gradually trimming a little off he top where my hair is still having problems curling up. But otherwise things are good :)
 
Hey SmilingElephant. Glad to see you're back. I've been waiting for you to update your blog :yep:

I don't think my hair has been growing like a week but it is growing lol I've grown about 2-3 inches since Thanksgiving so that's cool I guess. I feel like showing my hair some good lovin today so I will pre-poo with coconut oil, shampoo, do a protein treatment, and DC with AOHSR. This is my first time DCing with the AOHSR. I usually just leave it in. Hope it's yummy!
 
I want in I'm new as well and I just cut my hair to arm pit length so that I can start over...my hair was down my back but I wasnt feeling those ends...yuck! Let's get it ladies
 
I taugh bsl was my goal but I'm going to reach for the stars.

This is my starting pic. I hope to be wl by my birthday in March. I'm almost 6' away.

Anybody in here doing the CG method? I'm gonna go for it next month....using up my CG unfriendly products.

If you are or have...plz share ur experience :)
 
I did it last year for about 4 months. I don't really remember much but it wasn't a bad experience. I stopped because I can't put conditioner on my scalp and I wanted a clean scalp.
 
Hello?? Anybody here?

I think I need a protein treatment. I guess after doing so many wash n go's my hair is starting to become overmoisturized.

I was washing my hair in prep for a braidout and I had a little more hair in the hair catcher than I'm used to. And while finger combing my hair felt a teeny bit stretchy.

So I'll be doing a protein treatment this weekend.
 
I'm in....Info about me...

Cut my hair neck length Nov 2010
It is now Shoulder length(just touching shoulders) June 2011
I am relaxed( changing relaxers though, not sure what I want to use next)
Last relaxer April 2011, trying to stretch with cornrows for the summer

My goal is to get MBL by Dec 2012, or May 2013, I will either graduate in the Fall or Spring, but I will continue to grow afterwards.

Last cut/trim Nov 2010

My regimen: Shampoo twice a week, with Elasta QP Soy Oyl Ultra Hydration Anti-Breakage Shampoo, (scalp only)

Condition with Silk Elements Luxury Moistruizing Conditioner (duration of shower)

Moisturizer Hawaiian Silky 14 n 1

Oils-Tea Tree oil and Cameilla oil

No blow dryer no flat iron since April 2011

Style-Buns

No color

Things I will dry-stop using shampoo, I have an itchy dry scalp so I wills stop using shampoo and see how that works, I will replace my shampoo with indian hair powders and use conditioners, I will probably pre-poo again. I will still moisturize and seal my ends. I will self trim in Nov 2011 or once a year. Relax every 3 months or more if possible, my weakness is my flat iron....so I'm doing good......

But waist by Dec 2013 would be great!!!!
