I need to announce myself for this challenge-I have been only mentally participating before now
But I plan to continue wearing individuals braids with extensions until the end of Dec. I have been maintaining the style since 7/24, so I started a bit early.
My reggie is only to cowash every 2wks, moisturize every 3days or so using Motions Clear Hairdressing, & to mist nightly with my rosewater, evoo, tea tree spritz.
Braid touchups about every 2wks or as needed-I do my own.
I will add a starting pic-I did take a couple bad ones, but they should serve the purpose:/ I measured btwn 14-15" all the way around, which is past bra strap at the longest back layers & a bit past apl from the front.
I hope to be around 18" at the end of the challenge, & Id like to set a goal of 20-21" which is WL for spring 2013 just to say I did it, although Ill probably cut for shape then
Hopefully this thread will keep me motivated to stay in the braids, bc it will be a fight to go til Dec as I am missing my hair already!
ETA: The day I put my braids in..I clipped it off at the 1" mark, so im estimating 15.5" to start. (7/23)
This was today (9/20) I have taken braids down, I guess I will measure in Dec from the A on the shirt!:
Back-its flat-twisted up weird in the nape and I didnt do a measurement, but its a little past bra strap.
