Day...3? 2? IDK. Hair growth challenge ninjas. LEH GO!

Alight folks! I promised pictures!! Brace yourselves. They are ROUGH. Like no lie. One with too much make-up and a couple with none at all. O_O. Oh Well. The point is hair growth right? RIGHT?! Ugh. Enjoy. *eye roll*

 The First two pics were taken at the end of 2010. Now...I (sadly) got a trim at the beginning of November. I'm not sure if these are pre or post. But regardless my hair hasn't grown That much for it to make much of a difference. Let's just say for the record I'm CBL (collar bone length) I can say though that the front of my hair reaches past my nose now! *happy dance* I'm reaching for SOLID APL though! I figure I should at least get that by 6 months with 1/4-1/2 of growth a month. *does mental math* Yep. Please Lord!! Seriously guys. You just don't know. I need to get over this stuck at the same length of hair hump!!

Pics 3 and 4 are of my current hair!! :) A little rough yeah...I'll redo it tonight. Maybe. It looks better in person I swear! *side eye*. Yeah so I just flat twisted blow-dried hair with some leave-in, olive oil, and two different heat protectants. 

I GOT THIS IN THE MAIL YESTERDAY!!!! 

Can you tell I'm excited!! I got a recommendation from a friend and fellow blogger Talisa at Keep'n it Copacetic -http://talisa3636.blogspot.com/ #shamelessplug lol. The ingredients look Really good...water isn't even the first ingredient y'all!! I was told it lasts a long time too! My hair has been breaking like crazy (i think) and I'm effin tired of it!! So [simple] protective styling and minimal detangling is about to be my best friend! Hopefully this product can help me in my journey! A Product review is soon to come!!

Peace, Love and Hair growth!

CHALLENGE TIME!! *Official start date* 2/3/2011

I'm starting a challenge and I want you to hold me accountable!! Kim Coles (from Living Single) has recently done a BC and its proposing a hair growth challenge through Currlynikki.com (LOVE this site). Check out the link!! http://www.naturallycurly.com/kimcolesgrowout :) Now, first let me tell you...I've only done like one challenge; which Might still be going on *shrug*. It was supposed to target excessive shedding and included black tea rinses, vitamin e and increased water intake. Sigh. The only thing I kept up with was the vitamin e...come to find out I wasn't even taking the right dosage! Oh...Well...


So back to this Current challenge. It  "will consist of a balanced diet and sufficient water intake, gentle handling, minimal heat usage, regular deep treatments, and daily moisturizing." *looks at calendar* Uhhh....maybe I should start next week? Cause my diet is just... smh. Well, lemme say this. When I eat food from home its very healthy, well-balanced, and usually doesn't even involve meat. But when I go to Work?! Whole nother story!! And I've been eating out Way too often. Granted...its like a couple times a month but its more than my normal. I gotta Chill!


So I need to STICK TO a regular regimen asap. Consistency is gonna be key in not failing at this challenge!! 


Here's a rough draft:


1) Shampoo/clarify/co-wash
2) Detangle (with condish), twist in sections
3) Add DC conditioner and leave on for 30 mins Max (Cause I just be wasting time y'all...)
4)Rinse, add leave-in, sealant, wait 30 mins
5) retwist/braid in smaller sections
6) Take out in the morning, retwist as needed before starting the process over


I want to be able to do bunning and what not...but Ion have enough hair for that quite yet!! BUT...banana clips are about to become my best friend!! I can have a Real looking pony tail!! *happy dance*


Alright this post took entirely TOO LONG to write! I'll do another post with actual pics of my current hair So I can keep track of my styles and more importantly..hair growth! Right now its just in 6 HUGE flat twists on blowdried hair into a mini bun. Very Basic. 


Anyway...Let's do this!!! *runs around and high fives...all 3 followers* <------Hmm. I gotta work on this.


Till next time folks!!
