***Update: This challenge is open to anyone at anytime. However, no additional names will be added to the official list. Happy growing ladies!***
Ok ladies; I have been reluctant to start a challenge because I don't know how well I will do keeping up with the thread. I have been waiting for someone else to start something like this but alas my waiting has been in vain
.
You don't have to do much, just post how far you are from WL, what you plan to do to reach your goal and then check in periodically to let us know how it is going. It would also be nice if we could post before and afters once we reach our goals. You can post your starting pic in January or wait until you reach WL and post a side by side before and after comparison.
So I will start.
I am a little less than 6 inches away from WL. I get about the average (.5 inches) growth per month. My goal for 2010 is to retain most if not all of my length and to keep my ends healthy so that I don't have to do a major trim once I get there. I plan to do one minor trim (no more than .5 inches) in June if needed.
To reach my goal I plan to stick with my current regimen:
- Wash and deep condition once a week applying one egg to the DC
- Apply coconut oil as a leave in
- Moisturize twice a day using coconut oil to seal ends
- Henna and indigo once a month
- Wear protective styles 4-5 days a week during the winter
- Low manipulation throughout the year
- Very little heat styling (I am definitely going to straighten in December so I can take my comparison shot but I may also straighten in August for my anniversary if my ends look good).
So who is with me?

I think I can make wl in 2010. I'm 4-5 inches away. I expect to post pics in a 3-4 weeks when I touch up at 12 weeks post. I have a dryer coming in a few days and I plan to start rollersetting and dc'ing w/ heat once a week, and flat ironing my roots during stretches. I almost always wear buns, and the occasional braid out when I go to a show or something. I also plan to color my hair with black henna once every relaxer cycle (3 months or so).
erplexed what happened to WL! I wanna join...i'm 5 inches away, relaxed.
Ladies 
. 
. I don't know how fast your hair grows or how tall you are, but if you are only 2-3 inches from WL I bet you could get to tailbone length by the end of the year 
I need 7" to waistlength
. Even December next year may be too soon. I doubt I could do it but wanna try!
Oh yes I am subscribing.
