Janet' I am trimming every six months approximately. I didn't trim since last year this last time I trimmed in October and I had to take off an inch. I was starting to see damage. Uggh!

Regimen: shampoo 1-2x/mo, DC weekly, protein 1x/mo, blow dry 2x/mo, flat iron 1x/mo
Plans: still PSing most of the time - buns and updos; need to focus on babying my ends
Hip Length Date: March or April? Goal is TBL in 2012 so I'll be in both challenges

We would love to have you but err, umm...you might need to move on over to the TBL Challenge--lol!

I trim every six months too NikkiGirl good luck with your long transition. I can understand not wanting to cut until you reach a certain length, i'm doing that too.

kami11213 you must have a long torso, cuz I'm looking at your pic and i see your waist and i'm like isn't that where her hips are. Also, you have such a nice shape.

Plans: To keep my hair as healthy as can be and leave it alone

You are WAY past WL, you already look HL to me. Some sections on the side look a little shorter but I think most would agree you are HL.

Hey girl. Enjoying this clear weather. I always feel anxious to wet my hair after njoy'g it straight. I'm all paranoid about wearing my hair straight and having my ends exposed. I'm gonna need rehab to start wearing my hair out again. :lol: I'm hoping going longer will allow me to do long, luscious braidouts to avoid flat ironing. :yep:

NJoy OMGee!! I feel the same freaking way...I know I am going to have to go through some type of re-introduction therapy to wear my hair out all the time!!! But the crazy thing is that when I'm wearing it straight, I know that I'm pulling on it, it's breaking off at least in my mind...:blush: :blush: :blush:
