~~~waist Length Dreams~~~ Challenge 2018

Current Length: APL
Ultimate Goal: Floor-length (yes, I said it!)
Regimen: Water only
How many inches do you have to go to get to WL:12in, maybe more if I decide to cut tomorrow
Natural/Relaxed/Other: Natural
Tips/Tricks:Cornrows and wigs. Keeping good scalp oil coverage. No trims, etc. save for emergencies
Issues or difficulties you're having/Things you're tweaking to grow or retain more: I need more sun, exercise, good food and good vibes to get back on track to a balanced, toxin-free, vitamin and mineral-rich lifestyle. I'm in process of making that happen.
Starting Pic:Will return with pic
 
I've got my entire wash day down to less than 30 minutes
  • Wash with baking soda
  • Condition -I leave it in while I wash myself and then rinse out
  • Rinse with dilute ACV
  • LOC on wet hair with grapeseed oil and DB transitioning creme
  • Put hair in pony tail and put 2 braids in the ponytail
  • DONE!
I don't do much in the way of detangling. Oh well. :look:

That dream come true..... Like a fairy tale. :bdance:
 
Quick question, is it too late to join? I know that it says in the first post that the challengers list won't be updated after the first, but could I still join?
 
Current Length: Around APL and BSL in the back (in a braidout)
Ultimate Goal: Below Chest/around WL(in a braidout)
Regimen:
  • Prepoo with oil and conditioner and finger detangle in shower in sections
  • Set hair in braids/plaits (Sometimes with ryler rollers)
  • Keep hair/plaits in a bun or off the shoulders
  • Keep plaits in for at least a week or so
  • Refresh ends almost nightly/Refresh entire sections when hair starts to look a bit...ahem parched lol
  • Wear a braidout in a bun until "dry feeling" then back to wash day
  • Always sleep with a satin bonnet or when I'm resting my head on something
  • Vitamins/Supplements: MSM, Biotin, Multivitamins, OLLY "Undeniable Beauty" vitamins, Chlorella/Kelp/Spirulina


How many inches do you have to go to get to WL: :look: maybe five inches or so...idk how to calculate it because of shrinkage and how I style it, etc. etc. (My hair is already past WL when straighten but I want it to be close to this length when I just do a braidout or rollerset)
Natural/Relaxed/Other: (OPTIONAL) Natural 4A/4b
Tips/Tricks: Bagging my ends
Issues or difficulties you're having/Things you're tweaking to grow or retain more: I've been having trouble with my ends and I have to trim them often so they aren't scraggly and struggling... I attempted the "no trim challenge" and my ends were looking so bad that they started to look like a different curl pattern (aka 4limp as hale) So I will baaaaaby my ends for retention :baby2:
Starting Pic: attached

This is my first official challenge, yall! I'm soo excited :eyebrows2::love5:

I might try your idea of a ponytail and two braids in the pony tail. It sounds like it's a good way to air dry your hair in a stretched protective style. Very nice! :)

Whew....That hair is gorgeous!!!
 
IDK if i've mentioned it here but I've still been experiencing breakage. Even in my most favoritest protective style :crying3:

Ive had a trim, tried more protein, then more moisture, even lengthen the time between cowashes/washes, a reconstructor is my last resort then i'ma just pray about it and pretend like nothings happening. :lala:

This is my inversion week, which started yesterday and will end on Saturday.

Have you been using the inversion method long term? Have you noticed great results? I tried it once in December and weirdly enough the process felt really nice and I got nice growth/retention that month but I'm not sure if it was because of that.

I've been eyeing the challenge but I'm not sure yet

I'm just starting the inversion process, so I haven't had time to track my results yet, but I'll let you know.
