Any ear length or shorter ladies interested in Neck/Collarbone Length challenge???

[JessCNU]

Hello Ladies!! I know there are a million challenges but I just thought of another one

I know for me, Growing out a really short cut and seeing shoulder, BSL, and Waist length challenges are kinda depressing lol. Not that I don't think I will get there but I just know it would take a miracle for me to reach SL by September ( my one year mark ). Are there any ladies out there with really short cuts that aspire to reach full neck/ Collarbone length before the end of the year? Relaxed or natural is fine. I am 4b relaxed and currently my hair is too short to pull back in a bun. Maybe we can help eachother out with some protective styles as well.

So what do ya think???

Ok so people are interested!!! Yay!

How about everyone joining the challenge state their length and regimen
Also, how you are wearing your hair currently and what protective styles you use. I'll start! ( remember ladies... you might not like somebody's reggie but lets be helpful when giving constructive criticism. We are all trying to reach the same goals..Long Healthy Hurrrrr!!!!)

Length-Bottom of ears
Regimen-
Wash once weekly
shampoo-Ors aloe, Joico, Aphogee
Reconstrutor- Aphogee, Joico

Stimul- X is this oil I picked at a store near my house one day (I was actually searching for Carol's Daughter products, but she didn't sell it anymore so I just picked Stimul-X up instead) I'll inlcude the link to the website.

Since my hair is so many different lenghts (due to the Rihanna cut growin out, it's actually at a bob length right now) I use Pink rollers for my bang, because that area is the longest. yellow rollers in the middel and the side. And than I use the tiney blue magnetic rollers for the back since that are is the shortest.

Re: Any ear length or shorter ladies interested in Neck/Collarbone Length challenge??

I clarify once a week with DevaCare Low Poo, but I Pre-Poo with Coconut Oil and Olive Oil. After I wash, I rinse with ACV and water spritz, I rinse that out and I use DevaCare One Conditioner, (or Joico KPAK) then I wash that out. Normally I'll DC with ORS Pak but I will do that tomorrow because I'm feeling lazy (hence today was my Clarify day). After I DC, I rinse, and I just moisturize with Giovanni Direct Leave In or Joico Daily Conditioner.

Weekdays, I just conditioner wash with either, Joico KPak, Joico Daily Conditioner, Organix Coconut Milk, or Curlz Coconut Conditioner

I apply DevaCare Arch Angell and Blue Ice Clear Gel, then I wrap in a scarf, and beanie and go off to school.

Sometimes I do something different. Last night I took a bowl, filled it with Joico Daily Conditioner, Honey, Lime Juice, and Baking Soda. I applied it to my hair, left it in for 30-60 minutes (some people might say I'm not natural because I use BS,...but that's another topic), then I rinse. It makes my hair soft, defined, and takes away the frizz.

Sometimes when I remember to do so, I'll seal my ends with Castor Oil, Coconut Oil, and Shea Butter at night.....but its so much to do, that I tend to forget.
