I believe my ultimate goal would be a Healthy TBL, I believe I can make it... I just wouldnt believe my eyes, ((..Laughing..))

I stayed out of this thread becasue I didn't think that WL was going to happen for me this year (I had to cut off a few inches) but last night I was in the shower and my longest portion of my hair is about 2 inches for WL. I won't be full WL anytime soon but I may make it by the end of the year without any setbacks!

neck length

just nice curly layers in the front and long in the back

Great progress on your ends/thickness
 
Currently deep conditioning...I'm trying to lay low on the shampoo to get to waist length so I will just rinse it out and air dry
 
:bump: :bump: :bump: How are you WL-in-training DIVAS doing? I'm taking my Nioxin vitamins, low-manipulation styling (Hiding My Hair) and trying to get these 2.5 inches by August...How about you?
 
Wow, I haven't been here in quite a while! I've really been keeping it very simple. I bun, JBCO every 4-6 days on roots, wash/co-wash/DC every 7-10 days and that's me. I am so busy right now I'm even falling behind on my final wedding (June 4) arrangements!!!!

Hope everyone is doing okay on their hair journey....

Awwwwww :blush: thank you!! I smile every time I see your posts because you are alway so positive and encouraging! We need more people like you in our communities!
 
I have been gone for awhile, but I am back, Janet' your hair looks great!!

I have a weave in right now, and I think I will leave it in for the rest of the year. This hair I have is great, and the products to wash it make it manageable, I hope my own hair will be close to waste length.. I will update with pics when I take it out in another two months (long time away)
 
Still taking care of my hair, still on no heat, still growing to WL. Still.

I'm about 2 inches from WL (grazing, not full) hehe. I'm full MBL now (was grazing at the end of last year. Not straighting til the end of the year, Kinda excited. WL is my final goal. I'm in layers now (shortest is SL) not sure if I'm not going to grow out the layers or cut them back. hmmm???
 
Bun Mistress...That's a dilemma of mine as well- to cut (layers or not). I think part of my issue too is that I have hairnorexia so even though I am about 2.5 inches from WL, I feel like my hair is still full SL...I really think that I am going to have to wait until I reach my next goal of HL to get some layers...but even typing that scares me...but I love me some layers!!!!
 
I hear ya ladies. My hair is sl to mbl to one or two strands from .5 from wsl. I have hair anorexia and some breakage. I hope to be full wl by december. My layers keep me from doing wng.

Hello ladies! I seem to be grazing WL too! I have stands that are getting there, so I know I'll be there by the end of the year. Until then it's back to braiding it up and wearing some killer wig styles :)

Happy Easter everyone!
 
Though I will still be subscribed to this thread & cheering all of you ladies on, I must gracefully bow out of this challenge. After much thought I decided to touch up my Wave By Design (a.k.a. dry jheri curl) today. Because it had been 14 months since my last touch up, my chemical ends were very damaged.So, in the top I cut off all of the old chemical ends & in the back, I only kept about 2-4 inches of the old chemical.

As of right now, I'm officially chin length. I did have some hairs in the back that were grazing WL but my hair was so ratched that I had to go ahead & start over. I don't even want to think about how long it's going to take me to get back to where I was. I just want to make sure that this time around, I don't get lazy & I keep my hair healthy the entire journey.

Sorry you've had this setback, but I'm sure you can grow it all back if you go hard with the regimen moisture.
I'm curious I never heard about this wave by design is it a curly perm or texturizer?

Its a curly perm by Design Essentials. My avi is a pic of what it looks like (before my setback).
 
nakialovesshoes, sorry to hear about your setback. Well, at least you know WL is in you. You'll get back there.
