So I straightened my hair for graduation and was finally able to measure it. It's about 16 inches in the back and around 17-18 inches in the front (it's so weird how may hair grows at different rates lol). Overall that puts me at MBL so adding 6 inches shud definitely put me at WSL which is my ultimate goal. Mermaid hair here I come

I took out my kinky twists after only 2 weeks and had about a half an inch more of hair! I just got new kinky twists in today which are put in a lot better and I plan on keeping these for at least 6 weeks! I put pics below of my hair before kinky twists

Thumbs up

I'm in!

Did a bob cut last year (basically chopped off the back of my hair to to mid neck length ( ended up with a triangle fro) and now I'm trying to grow it out.
I'm a little scissor happy & my staple style has been a wash'n'go for a long time which eventually took its toll on my hair.
Last year it got incredibly dry, frizzy, hard to manage and I didn't retain any length.
Its now the road to recovery as I've been taking extra good care of it for the past 3 months, so my challenge will be a continuation of what I've been doing until the end of the year:

Regime:
*Wash (non sulphate shampoo) & DT every Friday
*A low heat blowdry or banding to stretch.
*Protective styling for at least 3wks a month
*Moisturize ends with Shea Butter mix every other day

Rules
*No cutting/ trimming.
*No wash'n'gos


I spent most of Saturday afternoon putting micro twists in my hair & plan to keep these in for a minimum of 2wks... or as long as they stay neat.

HHG to everyone!

I'm awful at measuring/documenting. I joined this challenge 2 months ago I believe? I feel like its grown a little...maybe just an inch. When I started this challenge I know my hair was just barely brushing over my shoulders. I fell away from the GNC Hair Skin and Nails vitamins for a while but Ive picked it back up and plan to stick with it. I'm going to try protective styling too, I play with my hair too much. The amount of breakage I have in the shower is sad...

Official goal: Armpit Length when Dry (2-3 more inches)
Time: March 2012, when the military returns my boyfriend to me

Heres some not-so-photogenic picture updates! my hair from a little under 2 months ago and tonight.

Count me in, too. xD

I'm planning to grow it out for ONE YEAR.

I wish I didn't have to cut it so short, but I had no choice after my last bad hair meltdown. >_<

Dusted my ends today. Took about 1/4 of an inch off. Will do length check next month. Doing more DCs. Still taking supplements. I need to oil my scalp and seal my ends more. That's what I'm trying to improve on currently.

I think I'm a little late, but can I join this challenge?

I have never measured my hair, and as I am supposed to be working right now, I don't think I should do this now...I will upload a picture of my hair stretched later.

Currently when my hair is curly, it is shoulder length-ish - I always make it stick up and big, so its hard to tell. When blow-dried straight, it is bra strap length.

I would like to grow it another 6 inches before this challenge ends in June 2012 (I think). I hear JB Castor Oil is good for hair growth - gonna give this a go soon...will purchase on payday!

Good luck people!!

2. August 17th-lightly straightened my bang area
3. August 21st- a braidout after I'd used semi-permanent pink (had to get rid of it because my roots kept showing too quick)

5. September 2nd -day after straightening hair, unwrapped my hair and shook my head = wild style! <3 I hennaed btw

Hope that wasn't too much!
