Waist Length in 2010

[SmilingElephant]

I hope i to get a Spring growth spurt.....my hair is doing great!!!

I just gave myself a good dusting a few days ago so my aim is to keep the fresh ends as healthy as possible....im due for a touchup on March 12....Can't WAIT!!!...i always get excited around touch up time

I am now ....8 weeks post...so i have 2 more weeks to go :woohoo:

I'm really hoping i reach Waist this Summer....oh yeah...and my 2 yr HHJ anniversary is coming up on March 7th!!

 

[Mz.MoMo5235]

i believe i'm still on course to reach wl by summer *eeeh*

my ends are doing great which is good for me since i'm in a no trim challenge on BHM.
i'm going to try the whole year to go with out trimming, cutting, s&d, everything. but, my hairs health comes 1st, so if at any point if my hair appears to be suffering from the challenge, i will gracefully bow out.

***Update: This challenge is open to anyone at anytime. However, no additional names will be added to the official list. Happy growing ladies!***

Ok I know I'm late but I'm in, since the challenge is open to anyone at anytime. Due to a very recent BC I had a major setback, but due to my health regimen, I know I'll make the goal.

My regimen:

• CO at least twice a week
• Deep condition at least once a month
• Use herbal shampoo at least once a month
• Clarify at least once a month
• Seal ends twice a day with coconut oil, castor oil or jojoba oil
• No heat styling (except when I need a length check)
• Vitamins, Protein, Water and Supplements
  Water, water and more water!

HHG Ladies!!!

While I was putting in my Celie braids last night I found that my hair is easily WL now.

[Mz.MoMo5235]

How is everybody gonna celebrate when they reach Waist Length??

 

[Mz.MoMo5235]

i keep trying to think of how to celebrate! i come up with an idea and then i forget it lol. i dunno what i should do though

 

[SmilingElephant]

I don't know either!

I've been waiting for this moment for 2 years!!! And now i don't know what i'm gonna do!

I think i'm gonna take a trip to this huge BSS in Orlando and get some hair accessories...like really cute banana clips and stuff.

 

[Mz.MoMo5235]

that sounds like a plan... i love hair toys but i cant ever get into using them. i'm just too lazy and try to get every wink of sleep in i can i guess lol

I will probably invest in a beautiful hair barette and then prepare for the Hip Length challenge!

CONGRATULATIONS LadyP!!!!!!!!!!!! HL here you come .

 

[testimony777]

I should reach WL by June (if not before) but I will not celebrate until August. My anniversary is in August and I am planning to straighten it and take DH out. I very rarely wear it straight and he always likes it when I do (its a nice change of pace).

 

[LadyPaniolo]

I figured out how to celebrate! I'm going to buy myself one of those carved bone combs to hold up a massive bun. I'm looking at several places online to find one I they aren't cheap but it's taken me a long time to get here, so I wanna celebrate!

That's a great way to celebrate. You can never have enough hair toys.

Have you seen these - they are not expensive:

Hi ladies! I'm just checking in. I hope you all are doing well.

-I have been staying away from heat
-I have also been extremely lazy with my hair
-i have officially decided on not trimming at all until sometime in 2011 or never if I'm lucky lol!

I like the idea of celebrating when we reach WL, i just can't think of anything. Maybe I'll get bangs..

YEAH!!!! i'm not cutting in '010 either!!!!

NO TRIM IN '010!!!!

 

[lolascurls]

^^^I guess that makes three of us not trimming in 2010!
I've been ok!
Still not MBL yet but I'm transitioning now so will have to wait for stretched hair pics.
I put in another set of crochet braids this morning 'cause I had a serious case of hand-in-hair syndrome with my hair down and out! I was twisting, undoing, then braiding and undoing every day!

- Now in protective style and I plan to spritz my hair at least nightly. Also diluted some of my HE LTR leave-in with water and will be using that on my edges before bed! Pics below!

- I have stayed away from heat so far.
- Next paln is to concoct some body and hair lotions using my grapeseed oil, Sweeta almond oil, beeswax and (when I get it) Aloe vera juice/ distilled water. Can't wait. Essential oils and maybe some shea butter added for the hair lotions!

WL where art thou?

 

[hillytmj]

I think my ends are finally in the WL zone, but I think I need a trim. My ends seem a little thin to me, but they look fine in photos. I think I'll go ahead and trim now with the hopes that I'll reach full WL by my 2-year LHCF anniversary in August.
