Challenge is to give up sweets, particularly candy, cookies, pastries, pies, etc. I feel that sweets is the reason my hair does not grow as much as it should. I do get growth, and my hair appears to be healthy, but I believe sugar is stunting my hair growth because I am a sugar addict. So to benefit my hair and health I've decided to stop eating it for about 6 months to see how my hair will benefit. The challenge begins on November 1st and the hardest part is you must eliminate hardcore sweets as listed above and any others from your diet completely for six months. Having sweetners in your coffee, tea is ok, but just don't go overboard. I'm motivated to do this but I need some help to stay encouraged. I found this article regarding how internal factors play a role in hair growth.... "Growing long, healthy locks is not child’s play. It’s a serious matter. If you take your health seriously you should have no problem growing strong, healthy, shiny hair."
I will use this time to focus on what I am eating and will include things such as egg whites, carrot juice, salmon, whey protein, salad greens as staples that I will try to consume everyday. You can make your own diet, but include lean protein, fruits and vegetables in it as much as possible. Wearing your hair in protective styles is also encouraged; I will be putting mine in braids in January. Also be consistent in taking your supplements and try to get at least 2-3 hours of exercise a week. I'm hoping i will also lose some weight as well as benefiting my hair. Wouldn't it be so encouraging at the end of six months that you are a new person. Not only will you have lost 20+ pounds, but your hair has grown 3+ inches. Does anyone else want to join me in this challenge?
