Waist Length Challenge 2015

I wish I could join this but there's no way my hair will be WL by the end of 2015, not with my growth rate :lol: I'll just continue lurking from the sidelines and cheering you ladies on!

I'd like to join! It's been a while since I posted here. I've been taking terrible care of my hair for months now and need to stop. Being a part of this community helps me keep my hair healthy. I think I have 4 or 5 inches to go to waist length, this is a picture I took a few days ago. The first thing I need to do is restock on all my staples and start deep conditioning again.

I'm in! I am currently a little below BSL. I am short so I should make waist length next year. I'm also in the MBL challenge.

Goal Length - Waist Length in the longest section of my hair, I am natural so it will remain layered. Length to waist length - 4-5 inches

Regimen - Modified Curly Girl Method (shampoo once a month, cowash 1-2 times a week. I also use henna and indigo to dye my gray about once a quarter).

Challenges - Tangling and fairy knots

Your hair is gorgeous! You can do it!
 
Ladies, I'm joining this group. I'm cutting my hair back to MBL from WHIP. I can't understand why my crown and nape hairs don't grow but instead cause breakage from the hair around them. Last night I took off 4" and will probably do another 4" this weekend. If I end up BSL, so be it.

Welcome! regina07 You grew once, you can grow it again! I would probably cut only to MBL though. :look:

I formally measured the distance I have between my current length (BSL) and waist length and it's 6 inches. Waist length in 2015 will be cutting it very close (I'm more confident that I'll make it around mid-2016). What a long journey I've been on, and the end is still far ahead.
 
Hi everyone!! It's been awhile. I've been super busy with home schooling, relatives, work, and this July we moved so...I'm kinda happy this year is ending. Whew....

I've had changes with my hair.... ummm ladies...I cut my hair!!!

Not all lol. But something new...I cut some bangs :). I had bangs when I was relaxed all my life, and I am so glad to have them back. That hair falling in my eyes, in my mouth, when I would do my twist outs and wash n gos...getting stuck on my lip gloss, was not cute....

I have been wearing my hair out a lot this year. I will safely call myself mid back length. Which is fine because I know I haven't been protective styling like I should, so its cool. I still saw some growth.

Do to my job and time....my products switched up. My staples are:
Shea moisture coconut and hibiscus shampoo and conditioner.
Shea moisture jamacian black castor oil deep conditoner,
Shea moisture jamacian black castor oil direct leave in...which I mix with more castor oil...(don't judge me, I likes my castor oil).
If I need a heavy sealant like for colder times than I use my Shea butter mix.

December I'm doing my end of the year length check.

I've had lots of people compliment me on my hair. Minus one lady who insists I "tame" my hair...I side eye her and her teeny weeny broken off believe I can ponytails. I've had odd looks and questions from a few people...what's so funny are the looks and ignorant comments come from the 2 white ladies that are suffering hair loss...you see strands of limp lustlessness all over the counters...I blow their comments off my shoulders like I blow them hairs.

Other than a few negative boo boos, I've been wearing my hair out and loving it, but next year I'm determined to reach my waist!! I bought a bottle of hair, skin, and nail vitamins. Mostly because my nails have been breaking, but I will track if I notice any difference in my hair.

I have more pics to come, but I'm recovering my hair drive. I'm on my phone so excuse my mistakes please :).

Ultimate Goal: HL stretched
Regimen: Protective styling, low/ no heat, DC weekly/biweekly
How many inches do you have to go to get to WL: 5 inches (17'' will get me to WSL)
Natural/Relaxed/Other: Natural, 4a/b
Issues or difficulties you're having: dry hair, lack of PS variety

 
Hair done. Definitely keep staying the yhe 5 inches until WL range... I just have a long torso... But if by the end of next year it doesn't happen... It just ain't happening lol.

And the more defined my waist gets AKA the more weight I lose... The farther WL will get ::tears:: oh well, rather be smaller than have super long hair lol.

Benefit though: my stylist is pretty tall anyway... But to event hemline I had to stand up lol. I said, my hair must be getting long lol.

Anywho, Here's my last length check for 2014.

I'm gonna do a blow dry and flat iron for this year's final lc. I'm pretty sure I still have about 5 inches to go till WL. I hope to grow/retain at least 3 inches this year which will have me scraping WL. *crossing fingers*

@JJamiah, love your post!


My hair today:

I did an all-day Shea/green tea prepoo this weekend, then cowashed with As I Am, then DC'd overnight, and ACV rinsed Sunday morning. After that, I did a heavy duty spritz of my remaining green tea, massaged my scalp with sunflower/peppermint/tea tree/coffee oil, lightly sealed with whipped shea, and baggied for 24 hours straight. All I did was put it in a twisty bun today, but it feels nice and moisturized. :-)

Hello, I'm interested in your regimine. So you spray your green tea mix on your hair and then apply straight Shea Butter or some type of Shea Butter mix?:look:
 
Overdue update...

I had a trim/ borderline cut in September and I'm currently at BSB (pic in siggy). I'm just hoping to make MBL in 2015. WL may have to come in 2016. I'm weaving it indefinitely.
 
i added aloe vera gel to my regimen....i need to step up my end game. i seriously see how these ends need special care if they are going to make it so waist length. they are healthy but fragile.

i am going to blow out my hair and take a length check before year end,,,,then that's it for heat and no more trims until June 2015.

Im in for this challenge. After I cut my hair two years ago I didn't think I would grow my hair by out to WL or HL. But I've changed my mind. I just made bsl this month. My goal is back to HL.

Now that is a list! I added Jakaela tonight after reading that thread. I wanted the MHC Soy Butter too. But I guess I have to say no at some point:-(
 
I've been added to the challenge ages ago and have never posted any pics or made a single post. I'm sorry!!! I needed something to take my mind off of current stress so I decided to finally become a contributing member! My hair is 4b/4a. This time last year was a couple inches past bsl (not measured using this bra bc the strap sits low) and I've given myself two trims since. Please excuse any background busyness, I am not at my house. My hair is currently in old smallish twists. I just unraveled one at the bottom to check my length. I was pleasantly surprised.

I bought a can of Holding Spray - Miracle 7 (I believe that is the name)
10 bottle of Ion Hair color
A tangle Tamer
Shea Moisture Body Wash
Shea Moisture Detangler

And THAT IS IT... Whew New...
Yes I kept it short and sweet. I don't want to increase my stash anymore than it is..

Miss Jessie Sale was whack so I didn't purchase anything from her.. :nono:
 
I'm going to pick up a couple of bottles of Hairfinity today since its 20% off. I'm still in my first month but I think it's working :-)
 
I purchased from 3 vendors I haven't tried before... Annabelle's, Mission:Condition and Shescentit. I had a cart for Bekura but didn't pull the trigger. I stocked on conditioners, moisturizers and leave-ins. This winter will not defeat me.

APB
Hair Creme x2
Hair Pudding
Ice Carrot Cake Leave in
White Chocolate Mousse DC

Shescentit
Blueberry Co wash
Coco Cream Leave in
Moisture Mist
Curl Moist
Cranberry Cream Cocktail x2
