@Caramel74, I still think that you are doing just fine! You said that your hair thickened up and that's definitely a positive! Plus, you retained some length too!
Thank you Janet'!

Hey guys, I've been a lazy boots...I was wearing my hair straight after that set-back, then I was under wigs, but my head is huge (I know, a self-drag lol) and my head started to hurt! Today, I did my FIRST WnG n years (I am relaxed now) and it came out pretty good. I need to fine-tune it, but I think this may be my go-to for the Spring/Summer.
I am also on the verge of making 2 semi-big purchases: some kinky clip-ins (which will set me back at least $150) and a steamer (which would be around $200) so we'll see what happens there.
Your hair is so full! I think it looks great.Here's the result of getting my hair flatironed. I still have a long way to go to WL, but end of 2017 may happen.

Hey ladies!! I'm a past lurker, and would love to join this challenge. Waist length has been eluding me forever, and I've finally stopped neglecting my hair so that I can reach it.
Current Length: BSL/MBL after recent cut
Ultimate Goal: Hiplength
Regimen: Faithfully protective styling with buns on stretched hair and chunky twist in buns.
How many inches do you have to go to get to WL: about 4?
- DC every week with moisturizing DC or Aubrey Organics GBP
- Cowash with Suave Almond and shea, or shampoo with Shea moisture Moisture rentention shampoo
- Moisturize with SM JBCO leave in, Eden BodyWorks curl soufflé, and castor oil
- Twist and bun or occasional damp bun
Natural/Relaxed/Other: Natural
Tips/Tricks: DC with heat, prenatal vitamins, wild growth hair oil 3 times per week, GHE 3 times per week
Issues or difficulties you're having/Things you're tweaking to grow or retain more:
Breakage due to old damage and thirsty low porosity hair that loves to split. To fix this I will most likely do dustings every 2 months along with Search and destroy method when needed

@itsjusthair88, I just purchased a steamer as well from Amazon. I will be trying it out for the first time on Saturday. I'm anxious to see if I get a boost to my moisture levels.

This picture is crappy, but my finger is just below my bra.
Probably about 2.5 - 3 inches.@trclemons you are really close. How many inches left?
Yeah right, lol You're nape is a heck of a lot longer than mine. Nape and crown are my problem areas. My hair is hidden a lot and it falls out if I sneeze lol But thank you sweetie because I've been working hard at retention. If it wasn't for LHCF, all the support and encouragement, and learning about my olive oil pree poos and stuff like that. I would have chopped that B#@ch back up to collar bone length.Ugh, all this beautiful hair to be jealous of! @GettingKinky @trclemons @AmanitoreLove and @Caramel74!
As for me, my nape finally made it to that elusive 12" mark. So my nape is officially 12" long. I'm excited, but 17" is WL on me and 14" for MBL. I hope to get two more inches by December. I think these vitamins are helping.
You're doing good! Your hair looks strong and healthy. You'll get there.Here's the result of getting my hair flatironed. I still have a long way to go to WL, but end of 2017 may happen.
