A Hard C & G challenge. Don't join if you can't hang.

YEAH! I'm in.
I am going to do my cornrows with foil and beads on the ends. Check out my fotki for pics if u like.
Right now (09/26/07) my length is 2 inches away from APL. I'm hoping to be APL the end of this year, then BSL by Dec 08.
Hope i can make it since I am 5 ft 9.
 
Thanks caramelty, I'm gonna try that!

girlyprincess23, i basically do the same routine caramelty does but i also dilute my conditioner as well and after towel blotting i apply my infusium 23 as a leave in and then apply my braid spray after that. I'll probably include caramelty's recipe as well for dryness
 
I want to be in the 6 month challenge! Can my start date be in Jan? right now I'm in the HYH till Christmas challenge so I gotta wait till that one's finished. I am going to do tree braids from January till July.:grin: I'm hoping by July I will be pretty close to MBL.

Hey ladies, I am dropping out and I hadn't even started! I have been told that I havve to wear my hair out for my parents' 25th anniversary party in April. LOL. Best of luck to the rest of you ladies.:grin:
 
Hey ladies I am on round two of my own independent C & G challenge. I told you ladies that I would have to do my twist over every month. So I made it through September and my hair is in good condition. I took my hair down and re-did it all in the same night. I thought that when I took my hair down it would be limp but it is great condition. Just wanted to share with you ladies. I only posted 2 new pics in my fotki b/c my batteries went dead in my camera. I haven't done anything to the ends yet but I am really loving the twist lately.

take a look. I also made them much longer this time so I can put them in a bun.

Happy hair growing ladies

I'm on one year challenge. I've been wearing braids for 6 months and haven't had a touchup in 8. I intend to keep this up until definitely February 2008. If I'm really ambitious, I'll keep the braids in until May/June of 2008. Wish me luck everyone...:yep:

Hi ladies!
Good to see a lot of beautiful women joining this great challenge!
One question though, Shynessqueen why are you starting as new thread? Just wondering.
Anyhoo I'm in for the 1yr challenge and started the 2nd week of Aug 2007. I will be taking my braids down finally in the 2nd week of Aug 2008 by God's grace.
Happy hair growing ladies!
 
Count me in
I am doing the 6 month challenge.
Funkparadise, I got my twist this weekend too.
Stay motivated. I'm loving them right now.
 
I will be doing my own challenge starting in November after I take my natural anniversary pics. I plan on going until July 2008 which will be my 10 year marriage anniversary. So that will be 8 months. Q
 
Okay I have a braid appointment for the 27th of this month & I would like to sign up for the 1 year challenge. Shyness has really inspired me. I'm going to keep these braids for 6 months - rebraiding the edges as needed & then I'll break for the allotted 5 days & rebraid again for another 6 months. My goal is to gain at least 10 inches during this 12 month stretch.
 
This will be my first challenge since joining. I would like to sign up for the 6 month challenge. I am in the initial stages of getting my hair healthy and continuing my transition from relaxed to 100% texlaxed hair. Please let me know if its not too late to join. I have scheduled my hair to be braided in November.
:yep:
Good luck to all who have joined.
 
When I took my braids out, my hair was super soft. I am so glad I did this C-G challenge.

I think I will continue with a wig for now. Is that okay as long as my hair is braided underneath.
