TL 2011 ON AND CRAKIN

[Lita]

I will try this again. A couple of months ago, I had a few strands at TL but I trimmed them because they looked too thin. No more trimming for a while.

Good luck ladies!!!

Girl!!! I'm just on the sidelines cheering you on!!! I'm not even anywhere near ya'll status Hopefully, my reveal will be MBL...and like a fool, I'm in the HL Challenge 2011, but err umm...I need some fairy dust!!!!

OK we all need some

I want to join. I will post the rest in a few days. Have to get an updated picture. Have not had one since Sept. Thanks for starting this thread.

You can do a stretched pic too if you don't want to straighten and you have time no rush. I can't wait to see your updates.

I want to join. But I swear this is the last hair challenge I join. I'm really too short to be having hair to my crack or anything longer, but life is short. I can just cut it after I'm done. I'm not 100% sure where my hair is at right now, we'll see around new years and I'll post my starting pic then. Should be fun anyways, ladies. I'm looking forward to another year of growing with you and I under no circumstances (minus some crazy unexpected disaster) will be dropping out like I've done with most of the other challenges I've join. The salon will not be seeing this head again this year. Yayy.

Stay away from the scissors, unless it's for S&D, you'll get in that vicious reach a length and cut cycle.

ITA stay away from stylists and the salons too. DIY is the way to go to have superlong hair and keep it that way.

Welcome all challengers.

My somewhat regimen.

I'm going to be going through a transition product-wise so it's hard for me to be 100% specific on products, but my general regimen this year will be

Nightly:
- 1 multivitamin
- moisturize ends (maybe every other night depending on how they feel)
- loosely bun or braid or twist and protect hair with bonnet for sleeping

Each Morning:
- Style hair gently (if necessary)

Weekly:
- shampoo with moisturizing conditioner
- deep condition with heat
- moisturize and seal
- gently style hair

Quarterly
- straighten hair with maxiglide
- trim hair
- color hair jet blizzack
- do length check photos

Internal Measures Taken:
- drinking tons of water
- multivitamin daily (this is so hard for me!)
- eat balanced diet
- cardiovascular exercise 3x week

External Measures:
- gently handle hair
- keep hair ends protected
- avoid heat and roughness
- cover hair at night

As far as styling goes:

Winter/Cold Months -
- weekly wash/dc as stated above
- some kind of bun daily or;
- have cornbraids done (like 8 max, straight back) or;
- two strand twist my hair weekly or;
- straighten my hair for the week (rarely!)

Summer/Warm Months
- wash and dc weekly
- co-wash once or twice during the week
- wash n gos or;
- braidouts (for 2 days) or;
- twist outs (for 2 days)

I switched out my reg multi for prenatal I used to take it cause it's basically Bargello's vitamin regimen (in my journal blog) in 1 pill and I got superfast length results taking it. The reason I take Vit C daily is the body doesn't absorb other vitmins if Vit C isn't present as well.

[Raine054]

Yay, I'm so happy to join this challenge. The picture in my siggy was taken in September and I plan to update with my December relaxer. I am now grazing TL! I would like to be full Tailbone length by December 2011. I don't plan to trim until then but will S&D as needed.

My regimen is embarrassingly simple. I wash and deep-condition every week, roller set, and use Shescentit Seyani butter, jojoba hair milk, and coco cream conditioner as my leave ins/moisturizers. Oh, I seal with coconut oil/olive oil. I make the coconut oil myself.

I tried really hard to get a pic of my hair but it's so hard to do on my own. This is the closest I got.

 

[Lucia]

Ok
I'm glad to report that I have been on top of my regimen haven't missed a day I do my scalp massages daily or at least every other day taking the vits daily and working out 4 days a week and baggying daily and full head baggie some nights detangling is even easier now that my length is juiced up all the time. I just have to keep this up until it's a habit then I'll be on auto pilot I still have some catching up to do but super long hair here I come.


@Raine
Love your hair so shiny healthy. You'll def make Full TL this year
