What length are you now? : Between EL and NL

Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Transitioning: Natural

Goal Month: April 2014

Current Reggie and Retention Methods:
I will be twisted up for the remainder of the year. I alternate between flat twists and 2 strand twists.

Weekly
--Prepoo with an oil blend
--Shampoo with AIA Cleansing Pudding or Terresentials Mudwash
--Tea Rinse
--DC with AO Blue Chamomile, Island Naturals, Swimmer Conditioner
--Baggy for 15 minutes
--Do LC or LLC and style in twists
--Mist hair 1x to 2x daily with tea mix
--Oil crown daily and scalp massage
--Protein treatment 1x a month

Are you taking supplements are doing anything else special? It varies by what I decide to buy month to month. Right now it is just Prenatal vitamins and vitamin E. I'm sensitive to high doses of sulfur and biotin so those are out. I will probably buy some MSM when I run into it.

Any other info you want us to know just post it. No

Post a starting pic... Will post between now and the start of the challenge.

I just cowashed my hair with Wen fig and then applied HH SCM shingle method. Applied KeraVada green tea oil on top and then applied Aunt Jackie curl la la over that. Letting it air dry.

Have you ever experienced increase in shed hair when detangling with wen fig? I have used it twice and I have noticed much more shed hair in my wide tooth comb when I detangle while rinsing out compared to regular wash days.

What length are you now? About NL

Natural/Relaxed/Transitioning? Natural

What retention methods do you plan on using? Hmm good question. I guess just moisture moisture moisture. My hair shrinks so much it's always in a protective style, maybe I'll think about doing more stretched styles to reduce tangles/breakage.

Are you taking supplements are doing anything else special? Nope. That could change in the middle of the challenge


Post a starting pic... I'll post a pic on wash day (Thursday)

I forgot to edit my post above and instead made a new one. Sorry! lol I'm washing tonight because my scalp is itchy as all get out! Hoepfully I remember to post a pic in my original post and not a new one.

In other news I just picked up a huge tub of Eco Styler Olive Oil for $3.99! And my sister gave me a huge tub that she got in a gift bag at an event she went to. I'm so happy!

I'm in! Be back later!

ETA: Back with deets!

What length are you now? I don't know. Before I put these crochets in... I was about 2 inches from SL in the back, Bangs=the bottom of the tip of my nose, Sides=chin length & crown= I don't know.

Natural/Relaxed/Transitioning? I'm confused is what I am. My ends are relaxed & the rest was texlaxed on accident in efforts to relax. Call me whatcu want!


What retention methods do you plan on using? Braids, crochets (main PS), wigs (sparingly because of edges rubbing) & phony ponies. Use heat sparingly (except for hooded hair dryer to condition), trim/dust when necessary, M&S, & condition!!


Are you taking supplements are doing anything else special? I was but I forget so I take them when I remember.


Any other info you want us to know just post it
N/A


Post a starting pic... Will do for the last LC of 2013.

Im in too Ladies!

Current hair length:

grazing CB on sides, bangs past bottom lip, back is past shoulders; still working on full SL and thickening

Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Transitioning:

transitioning to texturized Prepoo with Hair Trigger and garlic oil with a ceramide oil on the length under DC; shampoo as needed

Scalp massages with JBCO and baggying 2-3 times week DIY DCs and Ayurvedic powder treatments weekly; Henna every two-three weeks; monthly Rhassoul, Bentonite and Australian Pink Clay wash

Sometimes take Toji hair density vitamins (need to be more consistent with that)

Embrace protective styling to avoid wearing my hair out so often; more roller sets instead of flat ironing. More consistent tea rinses. Hopefully these will lead to thicker hair

I just realized something. I really like the way my hair looks in a short wash n go. But I want my hair to grow. But with my shrinkage it seems I may be able to wear my hair short whenever I want no matter how long it grows. lol

Yesterday was a good hair day.
