There are a lot of women at waist length! Tell me your secrets! I've only become hair minded within the last couple of months. I've never length checked my hair before December of last year. It was at my bra strap then and its still there now I'm sure. I want it to be at waist length by Dec 2014.

I'm newly natural and my hair is pretty curly. I can't really call it a fro, because it's not a fro but I guess I have no choice but to go with that option.

No idea LOL.
My hair is different lengths. So much so that I refuse to claim the longest layer
Will give it until the end of the year, straighten it to see and get a cut so the layers make more sense.
Shortest bits are bottom of EL, longest APL
This is going to be a shock to me when I finally straighten because I've never had longer than ear length!

I started the year at MBL. Expect to see WL and beyond before it's all said and done in 2014.

I've reached my goal of wl last year and no longer measure or take pics. I'm somewhat over my hair but still take care of it.

Hey we both had fades last year!
I am a bit above shoulder length cause I shaved my head again in march and then April and then finally got serious about growing it out.

I'm impressed that you both had fades and hit SL in one year. Wow that some good length retention!

I am in between SL and CL, purgatory.
I had to get about 1 1/2 to 2 inches of raggedy ends cut off. Damn henna.
I have always had shoulder length hair, even relaxed. I hope that's not my terminal length lol.
If I could just make it to BSL unstretched I'd be good.
Oh and
at all this gorgeous hair!!

Froreal3 did you do any long term ps at all. That was great progress for a "claimed" slow grower. You must have been retaining well. How many trims did you have? My hair is currently about 2 inches less than where you started, and I'm trying to see if I can make it to about the top of your shirt by year end. TIA.
I hate to put my hair away, but I feel that's the only way to optimize my retention.

ronie Girl, I was doing everything to my hair, so I retained almost everything and still only got about 5 inches of growth...so yes that is still below average despite doing the most.
I tried MN for a couple months (Dec. 2012 - Feb 2013), which I believe got me to grazing APL in the first place. I was on sulfur oil for about 6 months (March to September). I stopped the oil and chilled for a bit. Went back to MN some time in October to December. I started back on sulfur in December 2013 and I'm still on it. I think the sulfur works well for me, so I'mma keep doing it.
I just started taking Priteva vitamins in mid-December, so I hope to get a boost.
I protective style in twists or braids 99% of the time, but they are not long term. At most I leave in the twist or braids from one to two weeks. I'm trying to do better with the long term thing. I do moisturize and seal every other day to every three days. I dc weekly.
Admittedly, I don't trim often. I do dust quarterly though...maybe 1/4" I have layers (front is about APL) and I'm not looking for anything blunt...don't care since I wear it kinky. My ends aren't perfect, but they aren't terrible either, so I'm good.
So yeah, with all of this babying my hair...sheeeit, I'd better retain somethin!
You're well on your way. I think you will surpass your goal. Your hair is looking good.

I believe I have see-thru ends reaching BSL.
When I put on my bra, the length of my hair gets stuck on my bra band. I know it's not my whole head of hair but hopefully I can keep my hair trimmed at BSL until the rest of my strands catch up. Second scenario... I'll just wait awhile until I feel I could get a blunt cut @ APL or BSB.

In 2013 I was in between BSB and BSL but I had bad ends.
I started wearing senegalese twists which I love but I think they made my ends worse.
I straightened my hair a couple days ago for the first time in a few months and after trims I'm just past BSB on my left and right at BSB on my right.
I feel like I've been trying to get over this BSB-hump forever! 2014 is my year to do it.

Girl we need all the help we can get. Unfortunately for me, nothing can go on my scalp. Anything on my scalp= shedding city. The shedding is not worth the growth since I'm already low density. I've done the sulfur my first year, and tried MNS for a few weeks ( couldn't stand the dull headache), I ve also tried hair trigger, HH sprout ( edges only). Hairfinity for 9 months was a real waste of time, money and pill taking lol. Tea rinsing helps a lot while I experiment with those. But I choose to eliminate any topical growth aid so I don't tea rinse anymore.ronie Girl, I was doing everything to my hair, so I retained almost everything and still only got about 5 inches of growth...so yes that is still below average despite doing the most.

I need to get more regular on my inversion which helps without the shedding. I know you had no success with that. I also am thinking about viviscal. I have a 3 month supply (secret) sitting in my cabinet. I am just too lazy to start it. And I need to start constantly tea rinsing to fight the shedding it might cause. Maybe I will start once I put in the braids of twists.

I'm a little past collar bone. I wasn't taking care of my hair the last two years of being natural so has bad breakage.

ronie Yeah, I'm low density too, so I'm lucky not to experience too much shedding. Sucks your scalp is sensitive because I feel the sulfur has really helped. I can only imagine if I hadn't tried any of this. When I was on sulfur hiatus from September to Dec, my hair didn't hardly grow. I was like
But my scalp seems to be very tolerant of most things, and my hair is not picky at all. Word? Hairfinity didn't work. smh. I hope Priteva helps me. I heard Viviscal wants you to try them for 6 months before claiming anything. So maybe you should cop a couple more bottles. You're right, inversion didn't do anything for me. Don't worry...we'll get to our goals!

Which tea do you use fir shedding? How long did it take to see results? Im trying to figure out uf im shedding or is it breakage. So if I use
Something to stop shedding but the problem persist then I know its breakage

Hey Royalq i started with black tea done under my moisturizing DC. The results were amazing from the first application. I tried a few other tea combination, but just plain black tea worked for me. I think I added some fresh basil I add laying around the house.
The reason I stopped is because I removed the cause of my excess shedding which is topical growth aid.
Do you check the hair for white bulb? That's how I differentiate my shedding from my breakage. My broken hairs are usually c or o shapes. At times, I've add them as long as 1 inch. My shed hairs are long with a small white bulb at the root. They outnumber the broken pieces, and are always there whenever I manipulate my hair.

thanks! I have a bunch of black tea in my house. The hair that comes out are super long, 6+ inches which is the length of my hair. But i never really see a bulb.
