Starting photo. Just got my hair highlighted, straightened and the bottom layer trimmed.
Is it possible to be in two WL challenges?

I very much am lol. 2014 is PROBABLY a stretch just knowing me and my hair... But I only have like 5 inches. Which is very doable in a year as long as I do search and destroys once every 2 months to keep split ends at bay. I'm good with trims every 4-6 months.

Yayyy! I am so excited to be able to join this challenge! After 4.5 years of growing my hair from bald... and MANY lessons learned, I am excited to see my end goal on the horizon.
My reggie is super simple--wigging with 10 cornrows. I wash my hair while braided with Trader Joe's shampoo when needed and condition with TJ's Nourish. I seal with coconut oil. I deep condition with the same (baggying). I have had been doing this for four months now, took them down, blow dried on low and put them back up twice during that time.
I plan to rotate in a light protein treatment 1-2 months.
The last time I measured was 4 months ago and my hair was 12 inches long. I am 5'2 and WL is 17 inches. I'll post starting photos and length in January. Adding check in dates to my calendar!
Yes that is simple. And it's great to know that WL is not that long for us. If you are 5'2 and it's 17 for you, I'm 4'11, I'm think it might only be maybe 14 for me. I'm going to measure my hair now! Me so excited!!!
Here is my hair blow dried, hmmm I may be closer than I thought! I'm 5'0"

Ok I'm definitely joining. Shorties repreSENT!
Saw this on instagram. Thought it would be fun to share for the cheapies like me who want to try steaming but havent purchased a steamer yet.oke:
I'm getting tired of my hair. I wish I could do wash and goes. Think I'm going to twist it up. The only problem is it's not going to last that long.
Can we ask a mod. To fix the spelling it the title of this thread?

Ok, since I'm all up yalls thread I may as well go 'head and join. Ultimate Goal: WL Regimen: Shampoo or co-cleanse weekly. DC weekly (alternate protein and moisture), style in medium twists pin ups. Moisturize and seal every other day. I have been using sulfur and/or MN on my scalp every other day. I now want to adopt a modified Crown & Glory method with my own twists. This latest set of twists seems to have held up better than others, so I will try to keep them in for 3 - 4 weeks. How many inches do you have to go to get to WL: about 6. Hopefully 5 by the end of the year. Natural/Relaxed/Other: Natural 4 a/b, fine strands, coarser in the back of my crown, lowish density. Tips/Tricks: Keep the regimen simple and protect ends. Issues or difficulties you're having: Keeping patience.
Saludable84 Thanks lady! I hope so. I can't wait to get to MBL, which is another 3 inches. I wanted it by the end of this year, but I don't think it's gonna happen. So I'm hoping I'll get there by March. Are you taller or have a long torso? We'll get there together.
