Thanks for posting your regimen, ChelWren! And thanks for asking all the right questions, AfroIsland I'm between BSL and MBL, and realizing that I'll have to be MUCH more disciplined to get past it. I like the idea of bunning for long periods of time - I do that sometimes right after a wash and sometimes wear the bun for a week or so before taking it down and moisturizing. I'll probably start doing that regularly and just make a point to moisturize more often. I think your detangling routine would cause me lots more breakage, though. Recently, I've been finger detangling as needed, several times a month. I used only my fingers to detangle for about 2-3 months, and noticed I was retaining noticeably more length. I used a Denman on dry hair with lots of oil and creamy conditioner to thoroughly detangle in small sections and clean out all the shed hair about 3 weeks ago while twisting, and didn't lose nearly as much hair as I expected. I think that as long as I keep my hair stretched, I can keep with this routine, and won't have to do serious, hours-long detangling with a tool very often, and hopefully I can retain more length.
I would LOVE to reach hip length stretched hair. If I had MBL hair when it was relaxed, SURELY I should be able to surpass that with napptural hair if I discipline myself. Hopefully

I'm sure you will reach your goal in no time!
Regarding the bolded, most of my detangling is done with my fingers an wide tooth comb. Using my Tangle Teezer and Denman is to catch any snags I may have left behind. I usually run the brushes through once each. Also, I like the way the brushes clump my curls together.Hair Photos: http://s1062.photobucket.com/albums/t497/ChelWren

*looks around*
*waves*
Seems that I'm closer to hip length without trying/noticing at all. Had my hair trimmed earlier today when I noticed my hairdresser bending down to cut...I asked her was anything wrong and she . "Your hair is past the middle of your back." Then she pulled on some. Then she said..."your hair is near the small of your back." I had no. idea. Sorry about my dark top.

Very nice. And a lot of shrinkage, too! I have a ton of shrinkage, and online, I haven't seen pics of hair that long that also has a lot of shrinkage.

Bumping this thread cause the "grow super long hair" bug has bitten me something terrible .
I'm pretty happy with the progress I made this year (a little length and thickness), and I've finally found which PS actually work for me. 2013 is going to be the year that I get WL and then some .
