12 month retention buddies needed for comparisons

[tHENATuRALhAiRpRoJEcT]

Looking for a few (relaxed or natural) retention buddies to do a 12 month comparison

your methods, your products, your techniques, your reggie, your hair type

only control measure is current length = YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST 3 (including yourself) people with your current length....each length check will be side-by-side comparisons of all 3 buddies

simply want to track each other for 12 months, compare, share, etc. with visual comparison

objective: RETAIN AT LEAST 6 INCHES OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS (with visual sharing, comparing, etc.) ***WITH HEALTHY ENDS***

anyone interested? just check in here

PARTICIPANTS... FOR THIS THREAD ONLY **PLEASE** PICK A FONT COLOR AND ONLY POST IN THAT FONT (so that we can easily skip & track/compare) each other's post

ETA: Never mind. In my over-eagerness, I didn't notice the 6-7 inch requirement!

check ins can be as frequently as you have time... I will personally will do pic updates every 3 months
but we gotta have a starting pic (and try to have accurate length measurements for 1st and 13mnth)

 

[newbeginnings2010]

you look like your about 10-12 inches already

Oh! My bad! I didn't notice the control measure part. Sorry!

 

[hair4romheaven]

hey... if you wanna still glad to have you... the pic comparisons will just be different (was gonna use software to line up all the growth comparisons)

but really we will just have to be more accurate with measuring if different lengths participate tis all

thanks angel... how many inches are you on the crown vs. the back/sides/ or nape area

 

[MyAngelEyez~C~U]

I think I'm about 5-6 inches crown and back, and about 4-5 inches sides and front. Will do measurements when I cowash later this week. I'm probably way off, LOL.

yeah.. I think you are way longer than me
at least I thought... if not i'm jealous b/c your hair looks so lush and thick

 

[MyAngelEyez~C~U]

Yeah, remeasured, about 6.5 in the front and sides, and about 7.5 inches in the back...I was off...I guess I have hairarexia, LOL. Doesn't seem that long to me.

ok angel... apparently I have a big arse head and a long arse neck b/c my 7 inches is no where near (in my eyes) as long as yours in the back
hmmmph!

 

[NikkiQ]

You guys are tempting me to go measure my hair even though I'm nowhere near 6-7"

Yooz a nut , no you don't. I still look at my pic and find it hard to believe, because it doesn't feel as long as it looks. I'm only 1 1/2" shorter in the back than I was when I BC'd nearly a year ago, .

 

[nlamr2013]

I have questions!!!
1. So Im confused can we participate of our hair is longer than 6in?
2. What if we're possibly going to be using some type of growth aids, do we just say that in our regimen?

Thanks!

 

[silenttullip]

There is a 6-7 inch limit I think, but I'm replying to you because we're around the same length (yours is longer though). I wouldn't mind being your retention buddy!

 

[CurlsBazillion]

I'm natural, 4a thin, a lil over 6in in the back 5in at the crown (anytime I get the scissor itch I cut bangs, smh, retard I know)

yea... changing that

(you're right makes more sense actually)... you just have to have at least 2 buddies with your near-EXACT measurements... would like side by side measurements

I've very visual but yes... ALL LENGTHS ACCEPTED
