If so, what is your goal length and what are you doing to get there? Have you made good prgress yet, and if so, what did you do differently?

Hey! Yeah My goal is to get to my bra strap right now I'm at my sholder blades. What I'm doing to get ther is Braiding my hair and leaving it for 3 to 4 weeks. This includes box braids(not to tight or small) and Larger cornrows with weave. The number one thing I'm doing is keeping my hair trimmed. I used to be scared of the scissors but now I've found out that they are my best friend! So yeah thats what I'm doing to reach my goal and it semms to be working very well!

Type: 3c/4a Natural
Current Length: 6"
Goal: Healthy, tip of nose /neck/shoulder length hair.

My goal length I guess would be brastrap, or angela davis fro or bigger. In the winter I wash my hair once a week, sometimes 2 times a week, put it in twists or protective style and then take them down the next week. I am trying to learn how to keep a style in for atleast 2 weeks but I never been able to do it. I big chopped in may with like 1.5 inches of hair and now the back is to my shoulders the sides is pass my chin.

Patience is my main key to getting there, eating healthy for over all health and just taking it one day at a time.

I am. Right now my short term goal is should length- currently at back of neck-sides are two inches past ear and front is touching the tip of my nose. My long term goal is bra-strap length. I am progressing slowly but surely. I ordered a phony pony- so i'm going to give that a try, currently taking my vitamins still, moisturizing once a day, doing the baggie method at nite, condition washing, deep conditioning and shampooing weekly.

I guess my goal is to grow it to see how long it can get since I never really tried the concept before and never took good care of my hair in the past but my main goal is to obtain even lenght all the way around. Right now it is pretty long about four inches above my bra strap in the back only. It really annoys me that the sides and top can't keep up. Part of the sides are past my shoulders but the front sides are only to my chin and shorter at the front most. The top middle is shortest. It seems to split more at the top I think because of the texture there.

Everyone has great hair goals! I think mine is about the same as most of you but I want to get my hair a bit below brastrap. Right now it is about an inch past my shoulders in the back and to my neck base in the front. My left side always grows faster so its a challenge but so far so good. I've been minimizing heat and doing the baggie method since the winter air near Lake Michigan is harsh. I lose alot of moisture when I'm out. I moisturize everyday and condition before and after I wash. I just found a great vitamin at Chinatown so I'll be adding that as well.


Hey, this is just a thought but did you ladies want to start a Grow Out Challenge?? We can check in monthly to see about our progress or problem areas, but also to offer support to those of us who are trying to reach a certain goal. If so, I'll post a forum for it.

My ultimate goal is bra strap. I'm growing my hair out from a super short cut so It's going to take a a few more years to get there. Hopefully I won't cut it before then!!!

Has anyone on here started a growth album?

Mrs. Robertson

How long are your twists/hair and how do u keep them in for 2 months? My goal is to keep mine in for 2 weeks, cause I take them down once a week and then when i make it pass 2 weeks, I can move to more weeks. So how long have you been keeping your hair in that long.

Please exscuse me, not trying to be nosey.

My hair goal for now is bra strap length.

Protective styles, less heat & the baggie method are helping me along greatly.

Hi!  My first post here!

 

My ultimate hair goal is midback somewhere between brastrap and waist.  I am currently less than a half inch away from brastrap length with 16 weeks of newgrowth- so flat ironed, I am there!

I am currently at shoulder/collarbone length and trying to implement only protective styles for the summer months. I am now doing all the protective styles I can think of , i.e., ponytails, twist-outs, air-dried roller wraps and buns. Soooooo.... using these methods I'll hopefully reach my goal in no time which is to have thick and healthy brastrap length hair!!
