4" by May 13 2006!!!!

[pretty-girl#1]

Hey Everybody ,

I saw the bsl, ap, and wl challenges for the 2006 and I am so proud of everybody. However, I need 4inches by May 13, 2006 because I'll be graduating from college and I want my hair to be da bomb under my cap! Anyone ever did a challenge like this? Any suggestions for fast growth? Anybody intersted in joining me? So far this is what I am going to do:

1. Lots of Water/ no soft drinks @ all
2. Take my vitamins (Nioxin and Freeda Biotin) daily!
3. Walk my dog 2x a week for exercise
4. Comb my hair only when It has a conditioner in it (Deep condition 2x a week)
5. NO HEAT WHATSOEVA!!!!!!
6. Protective styles are pin ups, fonie pony, and donuts (I will wear a wig if I get tired of the others )
7. Don't touch my hair unless I'm getting ready to pin it up or pull it down (I have a hands in tha hair problem guys!)
8. No measuring until May 1, 2006

Currently,
I am at shoulder length with a few inches past in the back, and a few inches shorter in the front. I have 3b/c hair and have been transitioning for 33 weeks (No relaxer and I have only dusted my ends). I am anxious to have 100% natural hair, however, I want to enjoy my length first so I will not be dong the bc!

Your plan looks good, how about a growth aide like surge or MTG (mane Tail Groom) to help speed up your growth?

Hey! Well 4" by May is a little unrealistic for me. My hair only grows 1/4 a month and maybe 1/2" if i take my GNC hair vites faithfully. But I am interested in joining you because my wedding is Apr 29th. So our goal-date is very close! I'm going to try to achieve my 1/2in a month by faithfully taking my vites, and not chopping or dusting whatsoever until right before the wedding. I believe in blowdrying so i won't do the no-heat thingie... but i will opt to streamcurl instead of flat-ironing. and i will try to stretch my relaxer for 12 weeks! good luck!

I am going to mix the MTG with Surge and spray it on my scalp every night before bed! I will post some before pics in January!

I am not sure if my hair will actually grow an inch a month either, but.... If I shoot for the moon I'll land among the stars! I am going to do everything I can possibly do to attain my maxium hair growth for the first four months of the year!

Pretty-girl#1, I will be graduating next semester too (congratulations girl)!!! I would love to join you in this challenge. My hair is about your length...shoulder length in the back and a little shorter in the front. Keep me informed on your regimen and your progress. I'll do the same.

Wow! we have a lot of soon to be graduates here. I ,too, will be graduating from college next semester. So instead of 4", I'd like to shoot for 3.5. I am not into using those growth serums and sprays (like surge or MTG) so I just plan to keep my current regimen and add regular exercise (3-4 timers per week) and scalp massages to the mix. I wouldnt dare attempt to cut off my caffeine.

My Regimen
*GNC HSN and Women's One A Day
*work-out 3-4 times per week
*Scalp massages at least once a day for 3 minutes
*Wash twice a week (different combo each wash; 3 different combos)
*No blowdrying
*Flat iron once a week maximum
*Relax every 3 to four months with Profectiv Relaxer

This will be my product rotation during the washing:

1st wash:

Profectiv Clean and Healthy Shampoo
Profectiv 60 Second Reconstuctor strengthener w/jojoba oil

2nd wash:

Keracare Hydrating detangling shampoo or Keracare Moisturizing Shampoo for color treated hair
Keracare Humecto Creme conditioner w/jojoba oil

3rd wash:

Profectiv Clean and Healthy Shampoo
Profectiv Growth Masque w/jojoba oil


4th wash:

Keracare Hydrating detangling shampoo or Keracare Moisturizing Shampoo for color treated hair
Keracare Humecto Creme conditioner w/jojoba oil

When I flat iron I will use my wonderful Ion straight Heat Protectant.

Leave ins and moisturizers:

Profectiv Breakfree
Profectiv Long and Healthy
Profectiv Healthy Ends

Please count me in!! I was really hoping for 6 inches by April 2006 and this was back in August! I may have gotten 2 of those inches by now and have an important event to attend at the end of April, which is when I hoped to have the other 4 inches. My hair grows extremely slow but I want to join in anyway --- and since we’re checking length in May, I have some additional time to grow my hair!

I don’t really have a regimen, but right now I’m in cornrows until April (braid challenge) and I moisturize daily. Also, I condition wash 2-3 times a week, and take my vitamins. I don’t use MTG (and never will again), nor do I have any other products to speed my growth, but if I only get 3 inches, I’ll still be perfectly fine! I wish you and all the other ladies joining in the best of luck. Happy hair growing !!

Alright Ladies,

It's on it's on it's on it's on! I'm at work right now with a big cup of h20 in front of me! I've been growing my hair for a few months now, but never before have I been more motivated! Congradulations to all the graduates, We doin it BIG in da 06! The brides and all special events leading up to late April and early May it's all MOTIVATION!!!! I guess my four inches will be one of my graduation presents to myself.

Hey gurlie,
Welcome aboard! Why won't you ever use MTG again? Please tell me what happened to you because I've used it several times! It's not a staple of mine (b/c) I don't like the smell and the way it leaves my hair feeling (all nasty and gritty! )

Great!
So what are you going to do on a daily/weekly basis besides the protective styles?

 

[pretty-girl#1]

goodluck pretty! Im aiming for an inch per month or close to it....your plan seems great! Ive been thinking of incorporating biotin into my regime...i currently use MTG and my hair is growing and getting so thick, but i still want more THICKNESS!

Thank u (J_F)
I think the Biotin will make your current strands stronger and thus give you a thicker more healthy look! I know from experience, that the MTG will make hair grow in spots that you never knew didn't have hair! I got a whole new hair line after I used MTG for 3 weeks! I think it's some good in that stuff, but for some reason I just can't get use to the smell or the wet gritty way it leaves my hair! GOOD LUCK!
