Good stuff, eh? The one I've been using all year is Pantene Restoratives Time Renewal Replenishing Mask. Is that what you're using? Or is it from the basic line?

My daughter called gummy bears 'vitamins' until she was four and I explained the difference to her... I'm interrested in those pantene hair masks; I'll look for them next time I'm shopping.

Hi guys!

Thanks for the replies! Right now, Angel Spun, I've been using the pantene nourishing moisture replenishing mask. It's really good. I almost bought that one that you were talking about but then decided to get this one. I don't know how to make the name clickable like you did though, so you guys will have to search it on google or something. Tongue

Thanks AngelSpun.

I am a bit technically challenged though, so i don't know if I really understand it. Embarrassed

I think I get the idea, but what is a tag?? How do they work? http://www.longlocks.com Okay, I just tried it, but I don't know if it's clickable. So anyways, heres my entry for today. Not much has happend since I last posted, exept for in my last post i forgot to add that as well as buying the deep conditioner, I also bought herbal essences degunkify clarifying shampoo. I haven't used it yet. And by the way, something wierd is going on with my measuring system here. Huh

When I first measured my hair, after i cut it on August......18th?....16th? One of those two dates. When I first measured it, I got 8 and a quarter inches. Now I get 9!!!!! I mean, this is really wierd because when I first measured, I used a piece of string (sometimes I use string and sometimes I use a ruler) and now the string is too short for the rest of my hair, when it used to be the same length. Do you think there are problems with how i measure? How do you guys measure your hair? I think maybe I measured wrong the first time, but I was pretty sure I didn't.... anyways, i'll keep you posted

But there's something wrong with it when you click it. It doesn't take you there, it just takes you to a blank page and then its done.

It's made of a vinyl like material, and it is not stiff. I have to roll it up and keep something on it so it doesn't unroll on me.

Okay, so I just measured my hair, and tried to calculate how long it will take me to get ot my goal. It will take me at most, a year to get to my short term length (BSL) and six and a half more inches of hair. From then on my long term goal length is waist length, which will need 13 more inches of hair (from where I am right now; a little longer than my chin). i don't know If i want to grow my hair out any longer, although it is fairly thick. So roughly calculating in my head, to reach my ultimate goal it will take me 2 years and three months (if my hair grows at about a half inch per month) YAY so when I'm about 15 and a half, I'll be at my goal! Grin

how long will it take you girls and guys to reach your goals? Do you have any goals right now?

-I'll keep you posted!

You must take trims into account as well.  

My current plan is to stay at BSL/midback for another year or so to grow out some damage. After that, it will probably take another year to reach waist length...in about 2010...which will be 10 years from the last time that it was waist length. But that's my ultimate goal. Just to get back to where I was.

Oh right, I forgot about trims.... Tongue

It sounds like you're almost there angel spun! HOORAY Grin

My hair has been growing about three quarters of an inch a month now, so what do you think an accurate amount of time would be, taking trims into acount? Would that add maybe a couple of months onto my time? or more? I know it depends on how much I get trimmed, but lets just say if I got a half inch trimmed every 3 or 4 months. I'm not really sure, cuz I've never grown my hair (or planned to grow it) this long before.

I think your calculations are a little off, hon. 

You've said that your hair will be at BSL if it grows 6½ more inches. If your hair is 9" long now, that would put you at 15½". Nobody's hair is BSL at only 15½". That's barely shoulder length.
    Most people reach BSL at around 25 - 25½". Waist length on most people is between 30 - 32". 

If your hair is truly 9" now, it will probably take a bit longer than you thought to reach waist length.

Okay, I'm starting over.

I just measured my hair again with my mom's sewing measuring tape. It's 8 and a half inches when left alone, but when it's wet or pulled down its 9. (measuring from the side of my head) I measured from the back of my head to BSL (and I even made sure to measure to the right point using that one chart in "growing with it") and it equalled 18 and a half inches. So you were right, I was a little off. But thats as thourough as I can get. I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything wrong that time. Maybe the measurements are just shorter because I'm only 13 and haven't grown to my full height yet? I dont know, just a guess. (I'm only 5 feet tall) Undecided

Anyways, thanks for your input! Grin

P.S.- In case your wondering, I also measured again with my mom's sewing measuring tape, and 15 inches from the side of my head is already armpit length. (Yes, I am a bit short for my age, but I know people who are shorter) Grin
