2 Inches In 4 Months Challenge - 2016 (session 3 - Sept Through Dec)

[Evolving78]

Hey lady!! Thank you!

How's it going? Are you growing out that fierce cut?

Yes I am! My SO wants that old thang back! Lol so I'm growing it out! It was fun!

 

[Prettymetty]

I just love my tiny water bottle for misting my hair. It makes coverage so much easier.

I was going to wash today, but I have too many things to do around the house...I'll prepoo, wash and dc Wednesday. That'll be my second time doing a biweekly wash. My hair seems like it grows faster when I leave it alone.

 

[faithVA]

I have to remember to take pictures tonight or first thing tomorrow.

 

[faithVA]

Excuse my pictures. I really didn't feel like taking any

My hair looks like it's pretty much the same length. I think whats happening is my hair is evening out. I also dusted twice during this session. I hope to only dust once during the next session.

These will be my starting pictures for session 2. I'm sure I will notice a difference at the end of session 2.

 

[faithVA]

I think most people who were going to post for session 1 have posted. I am going to switch the thread title over to session 2. Remember to post your starting pictures for session 2 if you haven't already.

My nape is but my nape has been hanging out there for a while Just waiting for the rest of my hair to catch up which I think it is trying.

Don't be too hard on yourself. I really didn't want to do my hair either but if it wasn't tonight I would have been crying Sunday when I had to do it.

I would like to join, my starting pic is from my March length check.

1. See below
2. Current length: Grazing BSL
3. Regimen: Co-cleanse and dc weekly; wash/clarify monthly; protein every 4-6 weeks(hard protein) light protein weekly from product usage; deep condition with steam or heat weekly. My go to styles are braidouts and bunning.
4. Achieving goal: I am limiting flat ironing this year to only 4 times. Next flat iron session will be August or September. My hair has really improved since doing this and I've grown over 2.5 inches since December.

Mine too @Prettymetty .

I just massaged some hairdrenalin potion on my scalp for about 5 minutes tonight. I won't be inverting until tomorrow.

Shampoo Saturday

• Pre-poo'd overnight with AVJ mix & HH Knot Going Bananas.

Before bed, I will break the cast with Avon's Argan Oil & band to stretch this WNG for tomorrow.

Well, I just had a super fun hair day. I did my first, well actually it's my second, wet trim. The first time turned into a second big chop, but this time I can say it was definitely a trim. I really love how my hair, particularly my ends, came out. They are so much thicker and bouncier. Not a rough end to be found.

I cut both the ends of the curl (Curly Girl Method) and blunt across the bottom.

I'm pretty sure I got the 1.5 inches from this first portion of the challenge. I think I cut back to right above TBL, but I need to find better markers then these belts I have. Has anyone seen a long length check shirt? And my apologies on the rolls.

 

[Aggie]

I just completed a 5 minutes scalp massage followed by 5 minutes of inverting - Day 1 complete.

Your hair is doing so well!!! The front of your hair is getting long. When I trimmed last time I actually cut my bangs because I didn't want it to look thin since I was having issues with my crown. If I can get my front back to your length I would be really happy!

 

[GGsKin]

I measured and I've gained between half an inch to 1 inch. Not much but I'll take it. My hair is feeling fuller. The pic pic on the left is from 2nd Jan. Pic on the right is from 30th May. Not a like for like comparison.

It's definitely hanging longer. The top you have up in the 2nd picture and it's hanging as low as the loose hair in the 1st picture.

That's funny because I don't feel like the front is growing at all. It seems like its at my lip like it has been forever. I guess that's why it's good to take pics and share. People see what you don't.

 

[Aggie]

Day 2 inversion complete - no massage tonight. I'm way too tired from working long hours today.

 

[trclemons]

Added HQ Strawberry under heat cap for a little over 30 minutes & CW'd it out. Rinsed out 80% of Motions Moisture Plus. LSO'd with Jakeala Pineapple, Obia Curling Cream & Avon's Argan Oil.

 

[Aggie]

My 5 minute inversion (day 4) with light scalp massage is complete tonight.

 

[Cattypus1]

Here are my ending/beginning pics. I think I actually did get two inches. I've had a couple of trims.
