12 Inches In 12 Months - 2016

I just ordered:

-NJoy's Graying Hair Essentials Supplements x 3 bottles
-NJoy's Long and Healthy Hair Growth Oil (sulfur-free)

-1 Saga Remy Front Lace Wig (100% human hair) named TRIVIA for protective styling. This is a really cute wig that I bought in #1 a few months back and this time I bought in color OP27 for a slightly different look during the holidays:yep:.
 
@Aggie

I left out the detail posting pics only from my phone. I have no idea how it works on an desktop.

I see your pic up though, you working with a good starting length (hang time)!

Hope you ladies had an great Thanksgiving!
I washed my hair and decided to do wng. Air dried no heat.
This saved me from using heat, which I wanted to do.
Is wng considered a protective style in this challenge?

Thank you @bluenvy. I am SL right now but fighting to get to APL by March or April next year and then BSB the end of 2016.
 
Wngs lasts 3-5 days. Since I was home for the day I went with an wng. Cold weather over here, I won't do them much.

What I will do once weekly, pre poo, wash, co wash & dc. Moisturize and seal, than protect!
My protective styles, braid outs, twist outs, buns, and occasional wng.
With these styles I easily get 3 days or more without it looking crazy.
Usually m/s every 2-3 days. But for this challenge I will do this daily.
I will massage my scalp during m/s for the day.
 
The only good thing about having half an inch of hair is that hair day is extremely short. Took down my micro braids today

Pooed with ORS Uplifting Shampoo ( use a lot of oil on my scalp)
then protein with Aphogee 2min
DC : AOHSR
LOC : AVJ/JBCO/Raw Shea Butter

Ready for the challenge...let's do this in 2days! :drunk:
 
Alright here WAS my starting point.
I would be reaching APL by the next length check-in,
I had trimmed 1/2 inch last night but I don't care for layers too much. These are just the natural layers that grew out from my BC 1-1/2 years ago, and I typically only straighten for length checks, but I am NOT digging walking around looking like DJ Quik, so I'll be cutting several inches off today to start fresh, so I can start with one length.......around jawline length.
I'll post the pic later today after I do it

So all-in-all, there's supposed to be 38 ladies in the challenge; so hopefully we'll have more beginning pics posted today.

I'm redoing my crotchet braids this weekend so I'll post my pics on Saturday. They're going to have to be pull checks though, I have my flat iron away YEARS ago! I may straighten at the end of the challenge so will be in the market for one later.
 
Current Length: Full Ear Length bob
Goal Length: Full BSL

Alright so here's my Dora The Explorer Bob.
I only decided to do this last night, but I like it and felt so good cutting it off.
My pointer finger in the second picture marks where I'll be by next check, 3 inches down so I'll use that pic for the first length check as a comparison.
For this first quarter, I want to get a Komaza Hair Analysis so I can 'start this thang off right!':yay:
I think I'll be doing primarily PS like wearing flat twists or then do twistouts for the weekend, or lo-manipulation, possibly rollersets.
I'd been experiencing a lot of breakage this year, so I had to ease up off my WnGs, so after my Komaza hair analysis and subsequent strengthening, I'll likely go back into my WnGs in the 2nd quarter.
I still have some Njoy sitting around; I'm gonna use that up and continue taking my herbal supplements.
Now that I have a semi-solid base with this mini-BC, I'm gonna stop being risky and adhere to strictly CG-friendly products.
.................oh yeah, drink more water and get my ass on a treadmill more often:strong:

I did day 2 inversion with mn and peppermint oil. Then I moisturized my ends with sleek and shine cream and sealed with castor/almond/evoo.
 
Current (Stretched) Length: Back 4.5" (CBL); Front 5.5" (upper lip); Crown 5.5"
Goal Length Having Retained 12 inches: 12" added to the above; I really just want to see if I can actually get 12" in 12 months. If not, I'll settle for double what I already have.
Starting Pic: None right now. This site makes adding pics too difficult.

Uggh I wanna join but I dont think I can do no heat for 12 months. I use heat once a month, can I still join?
 
Yes you can still join.
On the first page those are just suggestions of what you can do to grow and retain 1 inch/month.
You're just framing your own plan of action.
