Girl, I hate to tell you this, but they're expecting the ice to be here for a minute and then on Saturday there's supposed to be more icy rain.:yep:
 
I think I need about 5 inches to make WL. After a big trim today (I really needed it), here is my starting point:



HHG ladies! :)
 
I want to join in as well.

I am going to probably get my hair straightened every 2 weeks...wear it curly for a week and a half...curly for 4 days...back to straight..etc..

I noticed the more I wear my hair straight, the more I retain length because it is always detangled and not getting knots, etc...

In the summer I will probably go to 2 strand twists and re do them every 2 weeks.

If you're in the Hairfinity Challenge, you may have already seen this.

I've been reluctant to post my Hairfinity results for the first month because I didn't have a true starting pic for when I started taking the vitamins (Dec 4th) because my hair was in cornrows. However, most of my results came from December alone. Anyway, the first picture was taken 11/06 which was when I last dyed my roots, and the next picture was taken 01/06. I was really surprised at how much growth I got in the first month. I wasn't expecting real results until the third bottle. I started my second bottle last week, so I'll keep posting results at the end of each bottle. I also wanted to mention that I bleached and shaped up my eyebrows on 12/22 and not only are they back to black, they've grown back to how they were when I trimmed. Also, as you can kind of see in the last pic, my nails are growing. I've always had long nails, but they break easily and they're usually uneven. I think I'm ahead of schedule for MBL by the end of April.

Congrats! That's a good bit of new growth! Keep going at this rate and you'll definitely make MBL by April.:yep:

Those few centimeters count. Your hair is beautiful, and shinny. Your ends are looking nice by the way.

:Welcome3: new challengers, we're glad to have ya!!!! We've got some beautiful heads of hair here!!!! :yep: :yep: :yep:
 
I did it. I lasted 10 days before I relapsed and did a wash n'go :blush:. I swear I'm addicted to them. My hair's so cute and curly and I actually like the length again. I really enjoyed bunning but there's nothing like seeing my hair fly free.

Is anyone else having the same problem with protective styling?

I used to have that problem, I loved how my hair looked down with only conditioner in it. The beauty of my hair flowing freely, the way the curls would be so defined, but then reality hit me. I'm loving the way it looks but its not healthy like that. My ends were drying out quicker than I could save them. My hair ended up losing life, and my ends became thin. Mind you I did still use oil and things.
Protective styling isn't always fun, it doesn't show off your hair the way you'd like for it to, but it is growing and being healthy. I say braids aren't always fun because there is only so much you can do, but BUNS I absolutely love. I wore them faithfully last year.
When you come into a bump, and you feel like "hey I think I'm going to do a wash and go today" Remind yourself of your Goal, and what you told yourself you would do to achieve it, the benefits you will receive from doing it. You can make your BUNS different, to the side, up high, down low, in two. Make it where you know you can keep up with it. Make it as loving as you make your wash-and-gos :)

If there is anyone that joined the challenge 1/1/11 or before and notice that their name is not on the official challenger's list, please PM me.

For everyone that joined the challenge after 1/1/11, WELCOME, and you are still considered a member around these parts!!!!!!
 
UPDATE: Hi everyone, I recently did an update but decided to do another one to say that I'm BSB! :grin: I haven't relaxed yet so no update pictures until then. I should be happier, but right now I'm so impatient when it comes to waiting that I just want to be WL already. BSB does NOT feel long AT ALL — I actually still feel like I'm SL to be honest. :look: Oh well, I'm satisfied since I was starting to get discouraged after seeing other people's fast progress.

Anyway, that's it for now; I hope you're all doing well and that you're seeing tons of progress on your hair journeys, HHG! :grin:
 
Hey ladies, I'm sad to say that I am dropping out of this challenge. As some of you ladies know I am transitioning out from heat damaged to natural and after platting my hair tonight I realized that I have a long way to go before all my hair is one length and all natural.The back is all natural but the front and some parts of the middle are at a cross roads. I've put myself on a low manipulation regimen till April then no matter what my hair is looking like I will get a shape up to try and even things out. The farthest I will get this year realistically is MBL My natural hair in the back reaches BSL so I'm hoping with some growth aids ONLY on the areas with more HD hair I can catch it up. Not giving up just being realistic. Lets hope I will be able to rejoin sometime this year. Happy hair growing ladies.:yep:

Welcome CurlyMoo

I bought some new oils to add to my regimen, I will tell you about them when I add them in.

I've decided to take my hair out on the 21st and not the 27th like I'd planned. I'm either going to rebraid my haie on the 23rd or bun it until the 2nd. I haven't decided yet :/

Opinions anyone? :)
 
I say you bun, give your hair a chance to rest for a week :)
