Ok I'm in!!!!
To retain growth length I'm on the Dominican Challenge, because they will keep my roots straight which will allow me to reduce breakage at the line of demarcation. Dominican stylists are also not scissor happy, they like to see long healthy hair so they take off as little as possible and only when needed. I will be going to the salon 1x per week for a wash and set and blow dry the roots only. I will wear my hair down for the the first 4 days of the week and then bun it until I get it washed again.
I am also trying to stretch my relaxer longer than my normal six weeks without going into braids so I may bun it more often as my roots become longer and longer.
My hair is chin/middle of neck length right now. I figure I have 8-9 inches to grow to reach the top of my bra-strap (I have a short torso, this is the only reason I'm happy for it
). My hair grows about 1/2 an inch per month without vitamins...with vitamins my hair can grow about 3/4 of an inch per month. I'm back on my vitamins now, assuming I don't fall off I should be able to grow about 8 inches this year alone, but I know some that will need to be trimmed so at best I plan to retain 6 inches by the January 1, 2006. I should hit bra-strap by my birthday April 18th 2006 yeah!!!
There are a lot of people who have told me that that will never happen for me, I want to prove them wrong.
I hope we all acheive our goal for next year.
How often will we update??
