2 Inches In 4 Months Challenge (sep - Dec 2015)

[Prettymetty]

How much does the family dollar brand now cost? I picked up a tube last Christmas and I'm still using it, that's only because I haven't been consistent. I'll be stocking up real soon though because I'm making 2 concotions that I intend to include Monistat as a main ingredient.

It was like $5

 

[Prettymetty]

Doing my wash routine tomorrow. Did a pull test, and looks like I'm heading in the direction of two inches. What kind of emoji is that anyway lol

It looks like a Mardi gras flash. She's trying to get some beads

 

[Prettymetty]

My scalp is sore. I think it's from wearing headbands to work. I'm off today and tomorrow so I'm just letting my hair be free.

I bought a new wig to wear on days that I don't feel like styling my hair (most days lol).

Here is my updated wig regimen:
Rinse hair with warm water
Add Alter Ego to scalp and gair for 1 minute
Rinse and add shampoo (one lather)
Rinse completely and add dc with plastic cap
Final rinse with cool water
detangle in sections and add leave in
Put in about 10-12 plaits

That pic is shows the growth I got from April 13 - July 21st. How much growth is that?

 

[Prettymetty]

I agree.

Do you not have a ruler or measuring tape anywhere?

When does the thread for the sept challenge start? I wanna join it and start planning my regimen in advance because my schedule will be taking a massive change around then.

@Prettymetty @xxlalaxx thanks ladies, unfortunately I didn't use a measuring tape before I relaxed. Maybe I can get an inch in 7 days like the inversion method is supposed to give. If that miracle happens then I would have achieved my goal of 2 inches in 4 months with my four months starting on April 13 with freshly relaxed hair. I am now 2 weeks post and though I'm underprocessed unintentionally I'm still trying to gain that extra inch.

Congratulations on your growth. Remember it's not just what you grow, its also what you retain. So you have to measure from root to tip and not just your new growth.

The challenge will just stay in this thread. I will just change the title on September 1st.

In my case since I'm relaxed the best indicator of growth is the difference between my freshly relaxed hair and my NG where I am able to use the line of demarcation as my end point starting from the root.

But this challenge isn't about growth as much as its about retention. 2 inches in 4 months, means that you retain at least 2" not so much whether your hair grows 2". The only way you can tell that is to measure from root to tip.

 

[PureSilver]

Alrighty then, that I will have to do in the next phase of this challenge. Thank you @faithVA

 

[faithVA]

Only 2 more weeks to go. It's time to all up what your doing to retain those ends and get that last but of growth.

I will take pics the last weekend of the month.

 

[faithVA]

My renewal date is 8/28 or 8/29. Some ladies have had issues accessing the site after renewing. If you don't see me after the 27th I'm probably having issues. Just continue without me and start the September through December challenge without me. Whoever can get that started I would appreciate your help.

 

[Prettymetty]

I want to get a salon blowout the end of this month so that I can self trim. When I flat iron my own hair I never seen to get the roots good enough. After my trim I'll post a length check pic

 

[PureSilver]

Guess I didn't get tat 1" I was hoping for, I will admit though that I have been lazy.

 

[Prettymetty]

Still trying to get my inches. I'm taking my vitamins daily, but I should drink more water.

 

[JoyBelle]

I'm rejoining for September - December portion of the challenge. I had a few obstacles, and now I am ready to finish the year strong. The pic on the left is from April 2 the right is sometime in late February.

 

[faithVA]

I'm out of town next weekend so I'm going to try to do my hair tomorrow and post pictures.

 

[faithVA]

OK ladies it's time to get those pictures ready. Hope to have some great updates. Let's do the updates by next Sunday and we can start the final phase of the challenge on Monday the 31st.

If anyone wants to join for September through December, complete the initial post and jump on in. I will update the title on August 31st.

i cant wait to see

 

[faithVA]

Did a clay wash, deep condition and then blow dried. I wish I knew how to blow dry better but it's done. And this is my last blow dry of the year.

I don't know if I got 2 inches but it definitely grew and I retained so I'm happy.

 

[Prettymetty]

I will post my pic tomorrow or Tuesday when I cowash.

Today I just spritzed my hair with avj and applied mn to my scalp. This next session will be my best one yet. I want 2 inches so I can finally reach my next length milestone

Please post your end of challenge photos by Sunday night. Let us know how you are doing. Sunday will be the end of this phase of the challenge. I will start the new challenge Monday morning.

 

[ImanAdero]

I think I'll join for the next phase of the challenge...

I'll post a photo in the morning... I doubt I straighten again this year... I have some heat damaged ends and I don't want them completely straight...

I'll be doing a pull and measuring (hopefully).

 

[xu93texas]

I'll do a blowout this weekend and do my best for a length check. I'm postponing my next flat iron until the end of the year.

 

[GGsKin]

I'll try to get this done tomorrow but I have a busy bank holiday weekend involving a lot of drinking, jumping up and getting on bad- family birthday celebrations, Notting Hill Carnival. I'm gonna try to fit in a few good munches too. And hopefully these end of phase pics

 

[ckisland]

@faithVA , Can I join the September- December round??

 

[bluenvy]

I will get my pic in probably Sunday. Been meaning to flat iron but lazy. I'm still exhausted from last week wash session . I'm going to do it tomorrow. It's Caribbean festival weekend, parties, cookouts, and pool parties in my lineup. Gonna see people I haven't seen in a while, and I want to show of my length off.
