Hey ladies! Just wanted to let you know that I'm in the process of moving. It'll be a hit and miss for me to post in here until I get my laptop for school.

KEEP THIS THREAD LIVE!!!:yep:

I love you ladies! Can't wait til things stabilize so that I can be here more.
 
After almost a year, I am having a good hair day which will hopefully turn into a good hair week. I am enjoying my mini two strand twists. I actually feel like I have a grown up style. :yep: If I can rock these for two weeks, it's going to make so much difference in my journey. And if I can wash them and wear them for 4 weeks, I won't even be able to live with myself. :drunk:

Oh hair gods, Please, please, please let them last. :worship2:

:dance7::bouncy::circle::woohoo::welcome4: this is a wonderful thread.... just stick with us and keep typing to keep us at the top.

well my castor oil rinses have been coming along just fine. so I don't have to wrap a scarf on my head from the 3 plaits that I have been wearing in my hair. what i do after I plait them and gather them together and plait them together. once I do that I stick a little comb in them to dress them up and I take a little gel to brush my baby hair down. If my scalp starts to itching I will wash with shampoo but until then I will just rinse with water and rub my scalp with the water.
 
Shampooed with everyday shea (scalp was so greasy so I didn't prepoo with evoo but better now)
ACV Rinse
Detangle
Moisturize Hawaiian Silky 14 in 1
EVOO
Seal Dax

Drinking 50oz of water daily
Staying on my countrylife maxi & msm
 
I don't know if I will be WL curly by late 2012 or by mid-2013. I'm just going to keep up my regimen, take my vits, and be patient! I hope to be WL stretched by next Spring (2012). One thing is for sure...my 1st main goal is WL stretched, and I would be very satisfied if I reached WL curly since I have about 50% shrinkage in 90% of my hair, and the back center has a good 70% shrinkage.

On a low-manipulation 100% PS regimen for the next 8-10 months. I'm pretty sure I will retain all I grow, God willing.
 
Checking in since I haven't in a lonnnnnnnnnng time!

I'm officially past APL now :yay: and on my way to BSL! Cowashing daily. Protective styling 4-6 days a week. Loving my hair and patiently inching toward WL by 2013.

Just co washed...I love love love co washing:love:
I've always liked it but I use to feel like my hair wasn't getting clean enough...I've changed products and I do it more often. No issues now:yep:
 
Does anyone NOT get a growth spurt? My growth rate seems to be consistent, I'll take it. Or maybe I get a spurt in the fall:ohwell:

I'm in the Growth Spurt Challenge. I don't see anything happening :lol:. Based on the appearance of my grays it doesn't seem to be growing any faster than usual. But maybe in the fall. I'm doing henna every 30 days so I will be able to track it for sure.
 
faithVA Ya, I was waiting for the summer growth spurt but it doesn't seem to be taking hold...slow and steady gets to WL 2013 I guess:look: Thing is I was kinda hoping for early 2013 not late:perplexed:

Nix08, It's way too early to think any other way than positively. 2013 is still a long way off. Slow and steady is good.
 
I don't know if I have retained anything since April. But I finally have twists that hang to my ears and you would think I had WL going on already. :grin: I may look crazy swinging my lil bit of hair but I don't care, cuz I'm having a cute moment. :grin: Even work can't bring me down this week.

I have some many celebrations between now and WL. It's party time. :lol:
 
Let's breathe, relax, and picture ourselves with curly wl hair.
I think I'll do this exercise daily.
Also I'll reread Chicoro's chapter on believing you can grow it
I love you ladies HAVE A GREAT REST OF THE WEEK
 
Applied my sulfur mix again tonight with a good scalp massage followed by a moisturizer and baggie :giggle:

Sent from my SPH-D700 using SPH-D700
 
you know what piss me off is when I try to get one of my family members to do a length check for me using the same tee shirt that I made that I use every month. they always have a additude knowing I ask them of them every month. and when they so fast to pull the hair and take the pic and say it is still at 5 well last month my hubby got it to 6 but all of a sudden it is back to 5. I am not going to believe that I have lost hair when it feels like it has grown. I can not stand these pictures. I just can not stand them. well I am sticking to my 3 plait protective style for now. and see what happens.
 
Get your hubby to do it again!
Family is funny that way sometimes
Also if your cam has a timer set it then you can try pulling gently
Or do the tape measurements.
hth Stay positive lady

:yawn: well thank you very much I will try to stay away from it until the end of the month because I want to focus on moisture and protective styles.
 
^^^I still have to train my SO to take a proper picture for me. He's still new to the whole length check picture deal lol

NikkiQ Ya, get prepared for him to get annoyed with taking pics (maybe I just over did it)....I ended up having to have a negotiation with DH to ensure 2 pics a months without any eye rolls or unnecessary body language:nono:
 
idk so does my trims that can take hours and measures it for me... We haven't gotten to cosistent pics yet... It was kinda like he didn't see the point but we gotta give the guys credit for trying. We're all lucky that they attempt to cooperate :)
I'm thinking of getting a length check shirt and just timing it but 17 bucks will be the most I've ever spent on a shirt (I know I'm cheap lol)

Too funny! Hair Negotiations :lol:

Funny now but I was so angry as he sat watching me trying to take self pics over and over and over and didn't offer to help....I gave him my opinion of him:ohwell:...needless to say I realized I would NEED his help and had to come around:look:
