For me...

How many days did you intend to wash your hair in April?
30

How many times did you actually wash your hair in April?
22

Approximately how many times a month do you usually wash your hair?
4-8

Did you notice an increase in growth?
I think I had about 1cm of roots (from dyeing) when I started, and 2 cm of roots now. So, I've had about 1cm of growth. Hardly astounding when the average is supposedly 1.25cms a month. I don't know if this is an increase as I haven't been measuring.
Here's a highly innacurate comparison, with pictures taken at different angles, and probably different distances... but I am wearing the same jumper!

Did you notice any other changes, positive or negative?
A lot of bad hair days.

Will you keep up the increased washing?
Probably not. Might up the frequency from 1-2 times a week to 2-3 times a week though.

Anything else...?
I didn't stick to just using the products I said I would, I took the opportunity to try out nearly all the products I own.
I also didn't stick to the braidouts as they started looking crap.
I found out conditioners with silicones in are great for avoiding frizz.
The main reason for my slacking off on the challenge was due to having an awful shower (student house...) which goes hot and cold. You really don't want to spend too long in there. Also, if I was going out in the evening, I didn't have time to wash (and dry, and style) my hair.
I've decided to go natural!

How many days did you intend to wash your hair in April?
I really did not intend to wash my hair every day. It sorta happened... I am transitioning and I am trying new hairstyles. If the new style doesn't work, I wash and pull back into a ponytail

How many times did you actually wash your hair in April?
Just about every day. It's fast and easy to wash hair in the shower, put in ponytail and run out to work!

Did you notice an increase in growth?
I noticed about 1/2 growth

Did you notice any other changes, positive or negative?
No changes. It's kinda boring. I need cute styles!

Will you keep up the increased washing? '
Probably not. In fact, I'd like to decrease washing and find a style that will last for days.

How many times did you actually wash your hair in April?
15

How many times a month do you usually wash your hair?
10

Did you notice an increase in growth?
I noticed the same amount of re-growth, however, my hair and ends are healthy.

Did you notice any other changes, positive or negative?
I did'nt have any bad hair days, but I did notice that my hair is fuller and thicker.

Will you keep up the increased washing?
No, I think I will go back to washing my hair every Wednesday & Saturday.

Anything else...?
I couldn't wash my hair everyday becuase my hair stayed wet and never really dryed fully. It was like washing my hair, adding all these products (like leave-in, end sealer, etc.) and then having to wash it out the next day.
