@JJamiah i don't even remember where it was, but i caught a glimpse of your hair JJ and flipped! YOU MADE IT!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS LOVEY!!!!!!
:bouncegre
let's hear it for the lead hairs, @PeculiarDaye!
(and to think i was just about to trim mine to even up!)
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! you are really making progress and i think it's real smart to keep bunning/braiding so that the other hairs catch up!
plus you have such a positive attitude (which always helps) about the beauty in the hope and prayer that got us this far! kutgw!!!
i'm about 5 inches from WL, but really need to go a little past WL to get some fullness with my ends, so i gotta stay on the ball!
hhj ladies!
Keep growing...
Happy Hair Growing!
THanks Grow and Lita
Grow I can't Wait to you your hair I am so anxious right now because I know my bottom jaw will be hitting the floor.
Lita Your hair is absolutely de vine in your avatar

bebezazueta Thanks so much for your kind words. If you ever decide to wear any type of wig please do show me pics, I love to see the creativity of us all. We can buy the same but style them so differently.
I can't stretch like I wanted to because my hairdresser's salon will be doing renovations soon.

Happy Friday Ladies!
I just wanted to update about what I've been doing with my hair.
I have been wearing my hair straight via rollersets and a light blow out @ the DM salon. I really needed a break from doing my own hair 24/7. Winter is the only time I can really enjoy my hair straight so I am enjoying and my hair is thriving.
I revamped my reggie last fall after having a brief bout of extra shedding at the end of last summer. I had been experimenting with the Shea Moisture prouducts. I loved the smell/ingredients etc... but found that my hair did not LIKE THEM! First time my hair has ever just rejected a product line. I was so glad I could return them to Target.
After that I started using products with Argan oil. I started out with a travel set of Morrocan oil Products. Great but pricey. I then moved on to the Cream of Nature Argan Oil line. My hair love all things Argan oil. So I have been sticking the CON Argan oil producst with a rotation of my silicon mix conditioners just to have variety.
List of Products in current rotation:
Extra Virgin Coconut oil:
For shine and massage into scalp twice a week.
Prepoo:
Sunflower oil & AO Honey Suckle Rose conditioner
Poo:
Miss Jessies Super Sudsy Detangling shampoo (great slip, I can detangle w/it) Morrocan Oil Moisture Repair Shampoo (sulfate free)
DC:
Cream of Nature Argan Intensive Treatment (gold n red packets)
Luster Silk Cholesterol with Argan Oil
Light Protein:
Silicon Mix Perla Protien (once a month)
Leave-In:
Keratase Nectar Thermic & Cream of Nature Argan oil wrap lotion
Serum & Heat protectant:
One N Only Argan oil treatment
Shine:
CON Argan Oil oil sheen*in the red can* (love this stuff)
I try to always prep my hair before I get to the salon.
I prepoo overnight and wash and condition (hot towel steam treatment under hood dryer). I wash my hair in four braids. I take down each braid to rinse then re-braid. After steaming I remove microfiber towel. I put on 2 plastic caps and cover with a silk scarf and winter hat. Then I head to the salon.
When I get to the salon all they have to do remove the braids and rinse the conditioner and roll up my hair. This way I don't have to deal with them trying to detangle my hair and me having to instruct them on how I want them to comb out my hair. Saves us all a LOT of STRESS!
I also had NO problem with them honoring my request to turn down the HEAT! For me this working better than when I spend half the day at home under the dryer and flat ironing my own hair.
Now of course I will resume doing my own hair at home soon. But it's GREAT to have a break when you need it and most importantly my hair is thriving!
No single strand knots!!! Hooray!!!
And YES my hair is reverting back to curly fine. I really think the light blow drying is better for me than flat ironing. But I will continue to monitor when I resume straightening my hair at home.
Have a GREAT weekend!
MORE hair!

Thank you grow
Dont touch those lead hairs to even up... If your not due for a trim let them keep growing. Lead hairs show us that our hair is capable of the goals we have for ourselves.
5 inches? your practically there, you've got less than a hand length to go... Your progress in your siggy is amazing so I know you'll be there, let the lead hairs be your guide
Well sometimes we fall short on hope, and we start to believe that our goals are impossible, when in reality there are possible. We have to remember what got us to accomplish as much as we already have. Got to stay possitive
Happy Hair Growing

Ladies,Its about that time, I wanted to wait but I know I can't... Trim time, I've got some ends that I've got to cut, nothing to drastic but I refuse to hold on to ends that can set me back. Its my 6month mark, I trimmed in August, 2010 and now its Febuary, 2011 so I've got to do it. I'll do it today or tomorrow, and just get it over with. Mind you I dont cut evenly, I only cut what is dead.
still rooting for June 30, 2011 as my goal date

Ok, maybe we should become hair goal twins-unless u are looking to do it with a hair twin-as I am 4b and relaxed...anyway let me know... I will trim on the next full moon of feb. 18th. But not an even trim. I m trying this lead hair thing.

Yes I think we should @Casey
Finally... I think it would be great if we were hair goal twins, being the same hair type isn't important to me. Why trim on a full moon? is there something about that, like a superstition?
Yes, let your lead hairs be your guide....
I Got a Hair goal twin

Ok cool beanz! Well IDK about the superstition thing but I saw the thread at longhaircommunity here: Full Moon in Leo - The Long Hair Community Discussion Boards
Anyway I am 6 months post on the 18th so I thought hey I could use I trim so why not give it a try. I wiil not trim but at least Dust on that date.Sooo... what is your ultimate goal...My NEXT mini goal is of course WL-Then maybe full healthy WL. Hopefully followed by HL...
My plan is once I make WL keep the ends trimmed until I think it's the best WL it can be before moving on to HL. I will never be completely with out layers but I do plan to grow out the back layers and keep them just around the face and in the top.
Oh! Thanks for being my hair goal partner-I've wanted one for a while now!

@casey3035
Well I think its a little on the superstitious side but hey, The 18th sounds good to me... If I can avoid trimming until then I will. I would only hope it would help. I'm actually kind of anxious to trim, everyday I look at my ends I get closer and closer to the scissors, ((..Laughing..)).
My ULTIMATE goal is Hip Length or grazing it. My short term goal is a healthy Waist Length. I'm a layered chick as well, so cutting evenly isn't an option I look forward to. Plus I don't flat iron and don't plan to until December hopefully I will be Hip Length or grazing it... Heck somewhere in-between the two would make me happy
.
So your going to keep a layer at the length of your face correct?? or did I read that wrong?
How long have you been trying to grow it out?... I mean actually taking the steps to get it to the length you want it to be.
Aww, your welcome I am happy to be your hair Goal partner/Twin.... Thank you for being mine, I haven't been looking for awhile but I've been silently wanting one.
Glad we both filled the one hole we had this the challenge...

Yes I will keep frame facing layers...I have been trying to grow out since 07 which is when I discovered BHM. I did have 2 major scissor happy setbacks. That's why my daughter was instructed to hide the scissors LOL!

Thats good... BHM?
((..Laughing..)) One of the major cutters aye? I'm glad she hid them well
I never gave my hair the attention I give it now, the only set back I had was myself. I stopped it from growing from either combing it out roughly, not enough moisture, not enough protective styling... blah blah blah, ((..Laughing..))

Lita, sweetheart, with hair as long and luscious as yours, i imagine it might not be so easy to find a hair twin!
...i think you've got the longest hair on the board!
Carisa, i sooooo hear you! i've only been in braids since last sunday, and i'm already nxiously anticipating taking them out and hoping for even 1/4 of an inch of growth.
having kept yours in for so long, i'm sure you're going to see A MOUNTAIN OF GROWTH!!!
congrats on the stamina and determination!
JJamiah, please spray some of that fairy dust you have!
i'm hoping for some good results..:crossfingers:..! march marks one year of program&baggy bunning almost exclusively.
your gorgeous head of hair is inspirational!
i'm so glad that shs from last year did not set you back! it is LONG and LUXIURIOUS!
Janet', thanks for the t.g.i.f.!how's your ph.d and hair reggie coming along?
(what a bundle!)
bebezazueta, thanks for the warm welcome back! it's great to be back!
you have made AMAZING PROGRESS!
i love love love the shine, the color, the body, the bounce, heck, your hair looks FAB!!!
Aireen, good luck with your perm! don't forget to come back and tell us how it went!
(and of course, share any pics! we love eye candy!)
Sunshine_One, you've got a great reggie going on there!
i especially like the braiding in 4 braids (that's what i've kept in this week)!
do you do any detangling with the wide toothed comb when you take the braids down in the shower?
some say that it's ok as long as there's lots of conditioner on them, but i'm still experimenting with different ideas. (sometimes, even with the conditioner on, i hear snaps in my hair because the water and dc get too heavy for my hair, which is fine.)
PeculiarDaye, THANK YOU for the inspirational pep talk!!!
just looking at your hair is inspirational, then i read your words of wisdom and feel all charged up! you are wonderful! and casey3035, i am so happy to see you two being hair twins!
i think it's too cute!
(now i'm starting to wonder what it would be like to have a hair twin.......!)

JJamiah, girl, i hear some serous hairnorexia goin' on over there!
you MUST be joking?!
honey, your hair is inching it's way to your booty it's so long!
even after that shs cut off 2 inches, it was stll long after that! now, it's not only caught up to what she cut off, it's gone waaaaaay past that, too!
plus, it's healthy, shiny and in great condition!!!!!
sweetie, maybe you might wanna consider taking a break from those gorgeous wigs just for a couple of days so you can sashay your hair around a bit.
i know of alot of op's who get their hair done and wear it out a day or so, just to get over the "hairnorexia" hump. you could do that marvelous cross wrap you got me hooked on and were so kind to send the link to, so that you don't even have to use heat, so you get straight hair that you can SEE and FEEL without the damage from heat.
please do not believe you have anything but LONG, GORGEOUS, LUSCIOUS, HAIR FLOWING DOWN YOUR BACK, BECAUSE IT IS THE TRUTH, LOVE!!!

Awww grow you say such kind words and that hairnorexia is no joke.
I will be wearing my hair in March, I plan to henna and try some Braid outs and bantu knot outs, buns and other hair styles to do with my natural hair. In April I will be back up in wigs until July my next month of wig free mode.

I joined the HL challenge a few weeks back.
That is as far as I would go though
I will do quite a few trim backs so I might not reach HL until 2012 or possibly 2013 and if I don't like it, hey I will keep it at Full waist.

I finally gave myself a trim ya'll!! I haven't cut my hair since my initial BC 3 years ago. Watching whoissugar's video where she mentions having scab hair made me want to give some new ends a try . It was a purely spur of the moment thing, so I took down the bantu knots I had in one at a time and cut about 2 in. from each end. Seeing blunt ends is weird . So a lot of pieces are above APL now, but I don't have any regrets. If I keep up with my regimen (ie. no shrunken wash n'goes for weeks on end), I think that I should still be able to make WL in the back at the end of the year.
I'm going to the mall today to pick up some Carol's Daughter products. I've never tried the line and I know that it's frowned upon around here. But I went to the website and they do have some quality products and those are the ones I'm going for.
So I'm focusing my regimen on wet bunning, dry bunning, and bantu knot outs- stretched and protective styles.

I haven't checked in for a minute. I will be getting my hair trimmed on Tuesday. It's long over due. I'm thinking that I will probably not be BSL anymore after this trim, so I might remove myself from this challenge and just stick with the MBL 2011 challenge. Anyways, I will post pics on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Thank you so very much, you are very kind. I only try to tell what I know or feel. I never looked at my hair as inspirational but I'm glad it is to anyone, as well as my words. You are quite inspirational yourself, and a good motivator. :yep
