3 Month Baggie Challenge

[Candygirl]

I've been at this baggie method a few weeks and the products I'm currently using are surge,carefree curl moisturizer,amla oil,ghee,and coconut oil. Just from the brief care I can already see the difference. I use to have those kinky knots at the nape of my neck in the back which I use to cut off. But now I spray that area with the carefree and surge and the are looks beautiful now. I don't know why I neglected to take care of that area..but I'm sooo happy with the results. I will soon get a camera and start documenting my progress.I've also incorporated drinking protein shake smoothies. I have alot of delicious recipes in the my culture my food forum.For healthier hair ya gotta nourish the inside too!!

So far so good!! couldnt do baggie this weekend, because i had my hair down for a wedding I was in. Back to baggie mode today, this in addition to MTG has taken me to the full head of hair that I am now. Check out my latest pic, I'm just about shoulder length now, and its thick!!

Me and my two daughters are in. Sorry that I'm posting late but we've been doing it now for over a week. Thanks for starting the challange.

Great! Are you enjoying the results?

I would like to try the 3 month baggie challenge. But I am not sure what oils or moisturizer I should put in my ends. Also in the morning, do I just rinse it off? Sorry, I am new.
thanks

Which moisturizers are you using now? A lot of people use S-Curl and vaseline. Personally I use Dudley's PCA moisturizer combined with KeraCare essential oils. I swapped up the other day with Ms. Key 10 en 1 --- That was the bomb. My hair was waaay soft. You can keep your baggie on for 1-3 days, depending on how quickly it dries out. The idea is to keep in the moisture so your ends never dry out. Welcome!

A late entry here Count me in - I started my baggie on 18 Sept. I have sprayed the ends with my own concoction of distilled water, olive oil, glycerin, peppermint, lavender & rosemary oils and then covered my ends with Profective Heathly Ends. I will be wearing a phonytail twisted into a bun.

Hope I'm not too late!!! I started using a baggie yesterday with my new phony pony. I'm about 7 weeks post trying to hold out as long as I can. I may have to get a relaxer in a few weeks (too much breakage if I don't) but I will "baggie" it back up. I'm using a mixture of coconut oil, jojoba oil, olive oil and WGO. Then I seal the moisture in with castor oil. I want to gain some length by Christmas!!!

I started last night too. I'm wearing cornrows under a wig, but I baggied hanging ends of the cornrows and then slept with a plastic cap over my head.

Goal: spray with homemade braid spray, seal ends with hair butter, and jojoba oil to remainder of the hair. I will
- sleep (night only) with plastic cap 5 days/week
- baggie ends all day 5 days/week

I will do this for 8 weeks.

okay. I'm in. Will wear baggie for three days. I have crocheted bun covers I made called Jewels of the Nile hair covers and will wear these for a dressy look when needed. Otherwise, I will spray with homemade moisturizer spray, use a little Homemade Wildgrowth, baggie and use a cut of stocking to hold the ponytail and the bun in place. No extensions. No phony pony. Will shampoo once or twice a week as needed and MTG every three days . (It is getting very cold here.) I will wear it to bed in the bun. Tie with satin scarf night and day. Will try this till Christmas. Bonjour

I have not checked in for a while so....
I am doing pretty well, my ends are doing good.... I have one section that seems to require more moisture than the rest... I am paying more attention to this area and keeping it moisturized... I my dust that part if it continues to be too dry.... other than that, things are going good....

How is everyone else doing?

 

[karmelsassy]

So far so good. I am 8 weeks post and my ends are doing great. They look thicker and much healthier. Funny thing though, when I wash my hair, my hair feels so heavy (compaired to what it used to look like ). I love the new thickness of my hair. It looks to be growing too. I have to relax in about 2 weeks (if I don't, the breakage begins ), but I'll be using the baggie method this fall/winter. I love that I am moisturizing my ends all day and no one has any idea

I baggie overnight mostly now with plastic cap and sometimes during the day. Just had a touchup last week, and hair is fuller and longer. I'll see if its grown even more when I get a blowout in 2 weeks. I really see shoulder length for dec, and armpit for june 2006!!

So far so go for me also. I started this challenge on 18 Sept and had a trim on 29 Oct. My ends are sooo soft since wearing the baggie which I wear all week with a phonytail. This is the longest time I have ever worn my hair up and intend to carry on until Dec.

Naija - you have made great progress since July

 

[SerenityBreeze]

Thanks lady!! I'm loving the baggie, now more or less using plastic cap at night, so my whole hair can feel the effects. I use baggie on ends maybe 3-4x a week but not as much since I started using plastic cap overnight.

I started this challenge while still lurking back on September 1st. I was wearing the baggie under my donut bun, but I stopped for a little while when I was wearing my palm tree hair piece. I'm back on it now with my braided bun.

I have been wearing my baggie since August and now I need some support. It is working but I am getting tired of it. So count me in.

Girl that is a great idea!!! My hair is much shorter and much thinner than yours but I am going to try it tonight just to see if I can get away with it. Very cute style!!!! If I can't have something to look forward to if my hair reaches your length.

I have changed my mind about relaxing in December. I am going to weave my hair and delay relaxing until February so I guess, I am no longer apart of this challenge.....
