Where did you get your shirt from?

:cry3: Y'all, I have short hair. I'm different than errbody else here. I don't even need that shirt yet. This is one of my favorite threads/groups, though, so I'm going hang in here, even if my hair isn't. Sniffle. :smile:

Happy New Years, all!

@YvetteWithJoy, stay right on here with us sis and document with pics! Trust me they help...I didn't think I grew very much this year but the two pics below tell a different story. What a difference a year makes with good practices, products and most of all prayer and patience. It's a marathon not a sprint so get comfy and stay awhile! I got my shirt from 2Curls1Mission based on @MileHighDiva recommendation. They shipped super fast!

@Daina
I see you at WL, your longest layer is looking at it. I'm calling it for you 4-6 weeks from today, :yep:

Awesome progress!

@Chicoro taught me the power of photographic documentation/evidence :flahssssss:
 
I'd like to join even though I'm not even WL yet.

Current length: BSL

Regimen:
I wash/DC every 1 to 2 weeks. Protein treat once a month or when needed. I'm very minimal when it comes to styles. I wear 2 strand twists and pin them up until next wash day. I will spray my hair every other day with a mouisturizibg spritz and seal my ends with butter/oil. I spritz my scalp with NW21 a few days a week. Started incorporating Henna Gloss into my regimen and will be doing them every 4 weeks or so.

Exact goal length:
WL or HL
( with my shrinkage.. probably longer :look:)

Plans to help you achieve your goal:
Inversion
NW21
Low Manipulation
Keep ends protected
Dust as needed


List any vitamins/supplements you are taking:
Prenatal vitamins, Marine Collagen, and might start Manetabolism.

Your ends care regimen to keep them healthy:
I seal them with a heavy butter/oil
I dust/trim as needed

Trimming/Dusting/S&D'ing schedule/routine:
I will dust every 3 months or when I feel/see knots. Trim as needed.

Top 10 products:
APB Refresher Spray
Bekekoa Be Clean Cleansing Conditioner
Redken Cleansing Cream
Nexxus Emergencee
NW21 Spray & Cream
APB Pumpkinseed Mask
QB Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee
QB Amla & Olive Heavy Cream

Ending the year off with a 1/2 inch trim.

Same section moisturized and lubed up!

View attachment 383875

I only trimmed the front half of my hair. After evaluating the back, it simply didn't need it.

For 2017, I'll trim knots and splits as I get them as I had quite a few this go round. Stupid SSK's!!

View attachment 383877
Can't remember the last time I trimmed...I think it was this past summer.

Looks good. I'll be giving myself a much needed trim next wash day (Jan 2). I wanted to do it earlier, but I'm trying out the lunar cutting method.
 
I'm almost cracking y'all. :lachen: I'm in the middle of re-do'ing my mini braids in the back and pulled a section in a row right above the nape to check the length. My thumb is where my tailbone starts (or where I believe it starts). I've honestly been confused since waist. :spinning:

IMG_2306.JPG

And yes I know I look rough. I've been at home fooling with these mini braids all day and have only been able to finish 3 rows. I'll do the rest as the week goes by and give you guys my mini braids length check soon.

@flyygirlll2 Yes ma'am to gracing us with all that beautiful, thick lush hair. :drool: I'm happy to be in a challenge with you outside of setting. Now we can chat more!

@lulu97 Nice! You'll be TBL before you know it. Can't wait to get there or at least close to it.

Thank you Sis! I hope I can be there by our June check in.

Thanks hun. I still lurk in the roller setting thread but I haven't done a set in a while even though I have all these rollers. I live in my twists, makes my life easier.
Click to expand...

I feel you! I still love setting..I set my mini braids after I wash them no matter what. I just felt bad about not being able to contribute much to thread as my mini braids look exactly the same after I set them.

Thanks, lulu. Sniffle. That's a huge comfort.

:lol: Oh, I wouldn't dream of leaving this thread. I love the folks here and the inspiration and health focus and EVERYTHING about this thread. Everyone here is kindhearted, gracious, non-hypocritical, full of positivity and knowledge and light all the rest. I'm ever so grateful for this space here at LHCF. You have no idea. I just feel different. Where the other CBL ladies at?!?? :lol:
