How's it going for everyone? Because of the cold weather I've had to modify my regime drastically...Brrr! I have been doing the C & G method and right now I'm bagging it. I have also been doing the baggie method to reserve moisture. Right now I have 5 inches of NG so it's all good!
 
I am on a mission to do this as well. Right now my hair is at shoulder length. I am on a 2 inch growth challenge per month. I am not sure about tolerating the MTG smell so I am going to order the sulfur for my scalp and mix it with essential oils and a nice base oil of jojoba or almond. i am taking all of my vitamins: ultranourishair, multivit, msm, biotin, folic acid, fish oils, drinking 1.5 gallons water per day, and wearing protective styles...i need to take pics and i will keep you updated.
 
hurray! I finally found it Ekomba!! Are you back on your 2 inch per month growth challenge? What are you currently doing, and how long is your hair now/how fast is it growing????you are dedicated!!

Hey Amorette i m glad you found the challenge thread:D :p .no unfortunately i m not back to the 2" yet i just restarted using mtg after a 2-3 months hiatus. i better hurry up i have 4months left before my nappy anniversary. i want to treat myself hahah even though i m on the challenge for 2007 for waistlength i m hoping to be past shoulder length end of june 2006 so by jan 2007 i can reach some length i give myself till june 2007 to reach waistlength which would mark 2 years of growth quest from twa.

i did not measure my hair yet. i dont know how long it is. it s in cornrows marinating in mtg/gueye oil daily with plastic cap and satin bonnet. i was tired of having no moisture so i m back to what works.i m not looking at my hair for a month. i just every evening put the mtg between the rows and then the gueye and voila. i m on day 3 of the colonix, damn that stuff is radical i 'll be doing it for 3 months. i also bought a Tanita digital scale to know my body fat and water weigth and report my weight loss better. its not a game i m motivated. i did slack on my vits the past 3 days but resume it yesterday i take them in the afternoon (i try to take them with my lunch around 2pm)

i m running low on the gueyes oil i m reorder some more.oh i noticed because of the biotin and the vits my head itch like crazy every night. i cant take it! even as i write it s constantly itching. i changed my diet again i notice the colonix fiber shake fills me up for the morning i only add an apple an hour later. that thing cut my appetite i always feel full but i have to force myself to get something. oh well hopefully 2007, the hair will be longer healthier as well as the body:lol:
 
I have been taking my vitamins, msm, biotin, etc...wearing buns and using lots of almond oil. For the last few days I did not wash my hair, and I really just brushed it into a bun without too much combing, and today in the shower when i combed through the conditioner a bunch af hair came out in a clump...i understand shedding, and there was several days worth to shed, but a clump or strands together?? that scared me.:eek:
 
I really need to get my pictures posted. I measured my hair 3 weeks ago, and it was 9 inches, and 2 days ago I measured again, it was 10.5 inches!!!!!!whooooooohooooooooo...something's working!
 
I'm in too!

i'm gettin an inch per month so far, so with prayer and optimism i should reach wasitlength by or within 2007. i am wary that i'll get 12 inches per year, purely because it would be a miracle in my eyes, so lets say i'll get between 6-9 inches plus about a 2 inch trim that year - i should get to this goal.

if iget to brastrap this year (i need 3 inches plus a 1/2 inch trim) then i know anythings possible!!! i'm OPTIMISTIC!
 
My hair has been doing good overall, I myself haven't took my vitamins in about 2wks, and have been slacking on my water drinking, But my hair is doing good and I have been keeping up w/the rest of my regimen. Since I just remembered I better go take my vitamins. :look: I am trying to stretch my relaxer until june, :grin: , that will make it a 5 month stretch. I can't wait for the surprise.

Ekomba,
thanks i will try it - i am technologically challenged...lol...can you BELIEVE my hair grew 1.5 inches in 3 weeks! i am still wowed!!! unless i measured to different areas or the wrong way - but i did it at the back of my head both times - and viola! there it was - 1.5 inches of growth! im not using msm though - i am using sulphur in olive oil - no smell - but it makes my hair look like it has sand in it and it itches a little bit.
 
Count me in! I am currently a wee bit past shoulder length (when straight - I'm natural), and I want to be waistlength by June 2007 for my college graduation. Tips anyone...

When I started the challenge on 1 March, the front was hovering above the twins. Now, slowly, but surely the twins are getting covered up. The progress in the back is less obvious as if my bra straps are moving lower. :lol:

I'm just going to take it easy, keep bunning, and stop checking so often.
 
I am so impatient. I want my hair waistlength right NOW:lol::lol::lol:. I had to cut nearly 6-8 inches off last year (due to a long long weave i didnt need that severely damaged and broke my hair off), but thanks to several major cuts last year, and more recently lhcf, it is restored to health. Now that my hair has stopped breaking and shedding, i can begin to see the growth and thickness. I have no chemicals and my hair is very curly, so it is hard to measure growth accurately, but from what i can see it is growing quite nicely. I measured it when i started this board at the end of february, and it grew 2 inches in a month from feb-march. It was at the end of the cycle of breaking so, i didnt retain all of that growth, but that breakage and shedding stopped cold turkey 3 weeks ago - thanks to this site, and my vitamins and proper hair care... and although i havent re-measured it, I can see the obvious growth. Since the beginning of the year it has grown from collarbone to the spot between shoulder and armpit, and this is WITH breakage that i did not retain. So now that the breakage has ceased, and i am retaining my growth, I am definately on the way to waistlength hair on 2007:woot:!!! I'll keep my monthly update pictures coming in the fotki! All of your haircare advice and ideas have worked, and I am grateful for finding this site, and grateful for all of you and your support! The other half of the equation is visualizing, thinking positive about and believing that you will achieve your goal, and it will be achieved! Happy fast healthy growing!!:)
 
Man I forgot about this thread. I'm still on the challenge. Still keeping it extra simple. I had a 2 inch trim which puts me right above bra strap, so maybe I can be close to waistlength by December. Anything significantly past bra strap will suffice tho'.
 
I am slowly but surely coming along, I have an appt to get my hair weaved up in another week so I should get alot of growth from that.
 
Well, I'm further than where I started at least; when I first joined the challenge (August?), my hair was just at the top of bra-strap, and now it's about 1 1/2" past. In fact, I found some encouraging stray strands that were at 26" (2" past BSL and about 5" from waist).
So am I still on the same track? Sure! I still plan to make it for January 2007- it's too early to backtrack. I'll know the real deal by the end of summer.

Unfortunately, I haven't replaced my camera but I certainly hope to get some pics soon- I can feel the progress but I can't really see it!
 
I am a newbie to the forum:newbie: . I would like to enter the challenge, unless you know of a challenge for new members. My hair is to my shoulders so I'd rather be realistic. I get out of the military in Aug 08' and I want my hair to be waistlenght by then so could you instruct me on how to initiate a challenge? Thanks!:)
 
I want in on this challenge. This was one of those threads I was lurking on before I signed up. Originally I thought I wanted my hair mid-back, but after being on this site, I think, WHY NOT?!?! :grin: :grin: Let's go for waistlength!!!

Welcome to the forum Mama Cita,
All I can say is to take a look around your new home. You will find other people here with great results that can help you. The search function is great for helping on subject matters: example..."dry hair", etc.
HTH and Good Luck,

Waistlength by 2007 may be a stretch for me. I believe that I can make it by Dec 2007 hopefully, if not I am in the Waistlength by 2008 challenge as well. I am currently a little past APL, aiming for BSL by July (but no later than September 28, 06)
 
I have been eying this thread for a while now but today is the day that I join the challenge :D .

My goal is actually right above waist length but who knows once I get there I might decided that waist length is where it's at;) Hopefully this challenge will provide the accountability I will need if (who am I kidding) when I get the urge to chop. Happy growing ladies:) .
