^^ nice thick hair. Please add me to this.

I've sort of been neglecting my hair of late so I'm try to get excited about it again. I'm planning on trying the Curl Junkie line.

I'm grazing WL with the tail of my hair so any length will put me in the Whip zone. I hope to get 4in of growth this year. Any more is gravy.

Not sure of a hair idol. I don't plan on straightening until the weather turns so I'll post pics then.

Okay so when I saw the title of this thread, I thought it was going to be a challenge to grow your hair long enough to whip it. :look::lachen:

I was thinking, 'I almost have enough hair to whip! I gots to get in on dat!' Sadly, I was waaaaayy off! Ah well, good luck ladies! :grin:

Just wanted to add that it's amazing how far patience, persistence, and consistency can take you. It feels like yesterday that I was chin length joining my first challenge- APL. I never imagined that I would be in a hip length challenge. That still blows my mind. Let's grow ladies!

My current regimen

On DC days I do the following:

DC 2x per week- Sunday and thurs or wed- alternate between Aubry GPB and Honeysuckle rose

Cowash after my DC with Giovanni 50:50

Finger detangle in shower while rinsing out my cowash conditioner

spritz hair with Aloe vera juice while hair is still wet

apply Giovanni Direct leave in

Seal with Oil of choice

Put hair in a spin pin bun and Baggy the bun

Put on my satin scarf then whole head baggy GHE

On days I dont DC:

moisturize my ends with either Eqyss avocado mist and or s-curl

Seal with any oil

And baggy bun and whole head baggy GHE

Oh and I protective style most of the time lately I have been bunning, and slicking my edges down with my home made gel.

B) This is a guesstimation, 2 of inches til whip, and about 4" to hip length
C) There are soo many different ladies, I dont even want to start naming people because I dont want to leave anyone out.

Starting pic(it's from Mid-July but my hair isn't that much longer, if at all, than in this pic) This will be my starting pic. And I'll post another pic Jan 1,2012 as well.
