Re: Hip Length (HL) 2014 Challenge!
Had a pretty hectic couple of weeks with work and getting ready for the holidays so I missed wash day last week but I plan on washing tomorrow. I've been bunning like mad and I haven't used heat this month, I even wore a braid out bun for my work Christmas party.
I'm on antibiotics so I've stopped taking the Priteva and I've only been moisturising my hair and ends, I haven't been sealing. My hair is doing well under the circumstances.

Nice! I don't think you'll regret it honestly. Btw, your growth from stretching is very inspiring. You've inspired me to stretch an extra month or 2.

Welcome new challengers!
Wow, I'm liking the turn out of this challenge actually. I thought people would be more apprehensive since the end date is so far ahead.
Here's a video of a HL lady to inspire you all, she's texlaxed. (You may want to skip/fast forward the video.)

Re: Hip Length (HL) 2014 Challenge!
Hi ladies!!!
Im in. To make this, I need to grow roughly, .75 inches of hair each month and retain all of it. That's very doable for me. The challenging part will be to stay in protective styles. This is normally where I fall off. So, I am coming here in hopes of gaining some support and check in partners that help to keep me accountable.
- Current length + hair type APL
- Regimen co wash daily. dc once a month.
- Plans to get to HL I plan to work out 5 days a week, protective style and keep my hair as moist as possible. My hair really thrives in moisture.
- HL goal date December 31, 2014. Im giving myself the whole time as I may have to cut some hair (a hair boo boo that I am currently trying to fix)
- Plans once HL is achieved I think that will be as far as I go. so I will just maintain from there.

Re: Hip Length (HL) 2014 Challenge!
Hi!
Current length + hair type: BSL/MBL. I'm mostly 4a but I have a patch of 3c near my nape.
Regimen: Wash every other week, detangle with conditioner, twist with coconut oil and moisturize/seal as needed.
Plans to get to HL: I really need to take better care of my ends. Last time, they were rough and full of split ends because I hadn't trimmed in 2+ years. So regular dusting is a must for now on.
HL goal date: I think I can be there by early 2014, but let's say June 2014.
Plans once HL is achieved: Grow until it's at an even length and then think about whether I want to cut back or not. I definitely don't want to grow any further. (I think.)
Here is my starting pic

Re: Hip Length (HL) 2014 Challenge!
Almost to a new year ladies
How far are you from HL?
What are your trimming plans?
I'll start. I'm 6 inches away from HL! I plan to trim with every relaxer & I relax 4 times a year. I should have really blunt ends at HL by December 2014. Excited!

ManiiSweetheart does trimming by moon phrases help? When do you trim exactly? With each full moon?

I'm also 6 inches away & trim at every relaxer. I relax twice a year.

ManiiSweetheart I vote for you to remind us when it's time to trim for the moon phases...I wouldn't mind trimming around that schedule

Re: Hip Length (HL) 2014 Challenge!
I'm ~10 inches away
I don't have a trimming schedule but I think I'll try to do it seasonal so my next one would be sometime in the spring. Hopefully I will be more than just grazing BSL by then.

Re: Hip Length (HL) 2014 Challenge!
I'm 12 inches away last time I did a rough check. Could be more, could be less, I have no idea but I'll do a better check when my hair gets longer since it'll be easier. I've skipped trimming recently and my ends actually look okay so I'm going to see how long I can go without the scissors. I relax 3-4x/year usually - I'm trying to make it only 3 for 2013 but summer is so brutal. I'm taking vitamins so no deficiency is going to get in the way of growth this coming year.

I joined a while ago, but here's my starting picture for 2013.
How far are you from HL?
I am currently 11 inches away from HL
What are your trimming plans?
I trim 2x per year-- once for my blowout in May on my curlyversary, and the other time in November or December when I do my annual flat iron.

Yes I'd love to remind you ladies and I trim/dust anytime from the new moon until half way to the full moon. And each zodiac represents a different reason for trimming ..like promoting/retarding growth, thickness of the hair. I'll try and find the website I got it from. And post the chart asap.
Personally I like this method because just makes sense. Farmers plan when they tend to the farm on the same schedule. And I think plants growing in the earth is equivalent to the hair growing on our heads.
