I want to join this thread too. I'm currently 2-3 inches below shoulder length and I'm having difficulty getting to armpit/BSL. Sign me up.

When October, November and December come I'll be doing some serious working out and doing the "baggie method" on my whole head every night in addition to using my Lenzi's request and MTG. I'm going to reach my goal. Oh yeah and eat healthy and drink lots of water. :D

Welcome aboard!

Cocoberry....I feel you....I think we are in the same place....

I won't have a better idea of how much more I have to go to top of armpit for another week or so. Right now...I feel shaky....:ohwell: ....but if I don't reach the length....I can at least just focus on it being healthy.

Millah.....do your bootcamp hair session.....nothing wrong with that...you're follicles will thank you for it.

I went to Belize for 3 weeks and I definitely think that the combination of surge, mtg, baggie method and RIDICULOUS heat :burn: made me gain some length (and shed a couple pounds :grin: ) which is a plus.. now i just have to concentrate on back of my hair that seems to be shorter than the sides :ohwell: .. any way, i'm loving this challenge, it's really inspiring me to stay committed to my hair THANKS LADIES & keep it up!!

You know what....I don't Surge as much as I used to...I forget sometimes...but when I do....you know those 4oz applicator bottles? Usually 2 oz of that mixed with 2 oz world of curls.

SouthernGirl done got me started on using the MNT with my oil now and I like it....so, I just rotate everything...

just as long as my hair stays moisturized in some capacity...that's the most important thing.

disclaimer:
*this works for MY hair....no expectations for it to work for others*

Not necessarily, just like a lil leave in combo for strength and moisture.

World of Curls would be in the Curl Activator section of your BSS along with S Curl, etc.

JG Strickland is the manufacturer I believe.

Count me in. I am currently shoulder length when hair is not stretched out...i will love to be armpit length by feb2006. Little manipulation, well moisturized tresses and a balanced diet helps my hair grow.

ok I have an updated I was taking some of my twists down so I could get them touch up and I noticed my hair was grazing my shoulders so I decided flat iron one piece to see if would touch my shoulders and it did. I couldnt believe so I asked my beau if my hair was touching my shoulders he said yeah so I took that as my second opinion but I am not considering myself at shoulder length until December

Well, I don't know if I will reach my goal again. I had about 4 inches chopped off last week. I feel that my hair looks better (Since I was traveling in Maryland this week I got a rollerset at Jaselvis ... very very nice). But, I have to admit that I am saddened to see the length go. Well, back to to the goal of trying for armpit length hair again. *sigh* Maybe if I quit pouting I will post picture of my mini chop when I get back to Colorado this weekend.


Oh re-edited to add that I am back at Shoulder length or so...

The most important thing is that your hair is healthy and that you feel good about it.;)

Just checking in.. i joined this challenge right before i went to Belize for 3 weeks, i'd also chopped off an inch prior to the trip- I'm guessing that it was the combination of extreme heat :beach: , drinking lots of water, surging, Salerm-ing, mtg, & the baggie method that left my hair healthier, softer, shinier, and more manageable. I've also gained about 2 inches!! :D .. now i'd say that im about 2 1/2 inches from arm pit length, My only hope is that i can keep this up when school starts next week- college is when i seemed to neglect my hair the most :ohwell: ..Atleast now i have a challenge to keep me focused!! Keep up the good work ladies, you all inspire me :Rose:
