Waistlength by 2007!!!*Challenge*

[Carlie]

I'm in. Waistlength when stretched by the end of 2007.

DITTO!

 

[meia]

my hair is right above the middle of my breasts so it doesnt exactly cover the twins lol..but i grow at an average 1/2 an inch a month sometimes a 1/4 so im not quite sure what to do..but i do know im completing this challenge!

im shooting for waist length when stretched also.. i really dont care if my damn hair is to my lower back man..it just dont look right..and i got an apple head and a big forehead..hahaha damn i just got the best genes!

I get confused with these challenges. Is it just merely to sign up? Are there rules? Are there specific guidelines we should follow to nurture our hair in order to get waist length by 2007? Fill me in. I always read about the challenges and I look to see if anyone is doing anything specific and writing it or recording it...but all I see is a 'check in.' For someone like me, because I'm new to ALL of this, it'd be great to have some guidelines to follow. But then again, I guess I'm a bit anal.

Some "challenges" are more like clubs or groups, kinda like this one is. It's just so we can write out our goals and get support and ideas from others and check in with our progress from time to time.

Other challenges are more specific, for instance crown n glory technique or baggie method, mtg, no heat challenge etc, where everyone is using the same method or product for a specified length of time to see what the results are. The growth challenges tend to be "clubs" because we all have hair in different states and lengths, and have our own regimens--we just have the same goal--to reach a certain length by a certain time. How we get there is individual.

If you need help with a regimen or want specific feedback about some part of your regimen, just ask--there are plenty of ladies willing to help you fine tune your routine.

And welcome to the board!

Hey Ladies!

I'm in too! I am at bra strap length, so hopefully I should be able to accomplish waist length by sometime in 2007. I guess I must tell my stylist to stop trimming my hair so much :-( I wonder if she knows what "dusting" is? My regime is very simple.

Protective style is one low braid at the back of my head.
I spritz my hair (until fairly damp) relaxed hair with water every other day (will try to remember to include Surge). I use Ojon hair treatment daily and to deep condition before my weekly Suave CO wash. I use Suave clarifying shampoo as needed. One of my good friends on the forum "Blacktresses" plans to take pics of my hair (I'm not good with a digital camera ).

Good Luck Ladies!!!

Thank you, Black Cardinal, for explaining that. I was confused on the challenges. Got it now, though! I was going to post about needing help coming up with a regimen. I definitely need help with that!! LOTS OF HELP! Well, I'm on board for this challenge! Currenly, I'm a natural type 3b/C (I capitalized C because I "think" I've got more C than b, but who knows?) about an inch from top of bra strap length.

...Bring on the routine ideas!
Thanks again!

Who's in??? Me!!! I'll include My girl Pink_flower, I know She's down. She's on hiatus right now, But I know that's her goal!

I've been anxiously waiting for a response on how to join this challenge. I'm also new and very excited about LHCF. Still learning how to get around on this site so PLEASE LET ME IN ON THIS CHALLENGE! shoulder length layer w/ the goal of waist length long, beautiful, healthy hair.

 

[Miosy]

Maybe we should all post a link to show where we're starting from.
I'm only at collarbone.

I haven't taken any length shots yet but I'm 8-9 inches away from my waist. This is my plan:

1. stretch my relaxers if no breakage occurs (i'm 11 wks post right now)
2. daily CO washes
3. Clarify shampoo every 2 weeks and deep condition once a week w/ humecto or Elasta DPR
4. Summer styles: braid out mostly after CO wash
5. Winter styles: buns, protecting my ends
6. I will only trim the splits as I see them
7. apply nexxus biotion cream at least once a day
8. pre poo treatment of alma oil once a week
