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

[Prettymetty]

Tomorrow I will see if my hair has grown any since last month. I did a lunar trim on May 12 so I just might have a growth spurt

 

[Prettymetty]

I put on my "measuring bra" and it appears that my tail is already touching the tip (of my bra). The shorter layers still have a way to go. I plan on doing another dusting next month to get rid of the V again. It keeps coming back lol

you sure love trimming..lol

Yes! I am addicted to the benefits of trimming by the moon. I don't know why I ever stopped. Once my short layers catch up I can space out my trims more.

I am dusting today since morrocco method says today and tomorrow are good days to cut. I'm going to get it out of the way today. It is going to be a long night; protein treatment, DC, quick wash, blow dry, cut and then style. I better pick up something to eat on the way home because there won't be any cooking tonight

I hope I see a change from my last picture so I'm not bummed out.

@faithVA today and tomorrow is the Summer Solstice so it's the best time this summer to trim. I did a search and destroy and I'm tempted to cut 2 inches off my bangs

The left is March and the right is today after my trim. I think I will make 2 inches this time around.

Looking good @faithVA!

Looking good @faithVA!

Thank you! Finally making some progress. By the fall I will be ready to rollerset again.

How are you styling your hair this summer? @faithVA

How are you styling your hair this summer? @faithVA

I'm alternating between flat twists, 2 strand twists and flat twist extensions. Primarily flat twist because they are quick to install.

It's too hot right now to rollerset. My hair wouldn't make it two hours and it's still too short in the back to put up.

Your hair grown in thickness and length @faithVA . What have you been doing to contribute to this growth?

I would contribute it to making sure I wash or water rinse every 3 to 4 days. I stopped the shampoo and use it only once a month with clay the other weeks.

My scalp needs that extra water, which keeps my hair more moisturized and so I can now retain a bit better. I've been slipping lately though.

 

[bluenvy]

My hair needs water every week to stay moisturized as well. Thanks for reminding me, I usually water rinse throughout the week during summer time only.

OK I'm a little late but I'm back for round 2! Will update shortly!

Ok I'm back:
1. Starting pic (required for official challengers) will add soon
2. Current Length - ear/neck still twa
3. Regimen- oowash 3-4 times a week, coconut oil and mouse
4. What will you do to achieve your goal - I plan on trying the inversion method hopefully I will have some results!
5. Anything else you would like to share

 

[Prettymetty]

I just got my hair blown out again. I plan to invert for the next 7 days without oil. I need some thickness and a growth spurt before my next trim.

Looks nice and healthy. It's longer too. What length do it stretch to?

Thanks , honestly I have no idea lol. Next time I'll do a stretch and see. It stretches at different lengths when its wet, natural state, flat ironed, or curlformer stretched. Its weird to me but I take what I can get.

 

[Prettymetty]

I need to just throw in the towel and wash my hair (nice pun). This blowout barely lasted a week. I just can't decide if I should wear a wig, do a sew in or a braidout.

 

[faithVA]

How's everyone doing in here?

 

[faithVA]

My hair is doing pretty good. I just need to be more diligent with rinsing my hair every 3 days. I have decided to just stick with the same flat twist style until my mini vacation in August. It's not the cutest but it keeps well and it is fast to install. It also keeps my ends tucked away without any extra pulling.

OK. Well you can have both goals, so go for it.

I washed my hair with Original Cream of Nature and did a rinse (Adore Purple Rage). It actually turned out more like a plum color. Afterwards I did a dc with Silk Elements Mega Moisture and Kerastase Elixir Ultime. The color had a lot of protein so even after the dc my hair didn't feel soft

 

[bluenvy]

Just wash and dcing every week. Every week I notice less shed hair. Now working on growing my edges back using jbco.
Wore a wng pony today and got weaved checked by an family member. He put his hand in to check lol.
