Classic Length 2010 Challenge Part I

Candy
is it better to do the scalp massages 2x/day than just nightly?
Cause I would love to be able to do that but if 10-20 mon nightly will get
the job done that's easier for me to stay consistent with.
TIA

I think as long as the scalp gets a massage it is a benefit.... It can be one, two , three, etc.... Personally I think once is fine... Doing a massage at night was also easier for me to be consistent. So that is what I do. I know in the older post I say twice... morning and evening....That is the way I started out... But with a busy schedule now, I do not always do the morning massage. At night I always do.

Hi ladies :wave:

My hair is growing...I think! I got a few comments yesterday on how long it is now.
I'm going to snap a picture of it. I wore it in a banded pony tail. :)

Ok. I think my hair is still growing too. It sits lower in my butt crack and rests more on my butt cheek, lol! Today I was co washing and noticed how my hair sits more on my bum right near the crack (nice description, huh! :grin:) while wet. I strectched it out while wearing jeans and my hair rests more on my jeans; it used to only touch the top of my jeans. I wear my jeans low on my hips.

I have been busy lately and haven't had the time or interst in taking pics. Probably next month or in August I will take pics. When is the next length check date? My dad thinks that my hair is growing and says that I should be classic length at least by March of next year (he thinks sooner though).

Funny description! :rofl: I am soooo happy your hair is growing! The next length check isn't until September 30th so you've got some time before you'll have to post an official pic!:yep: Looks like you'll hit Classic sooner than you expected! :sweet:

I only have about 1.5 to 2 inches to go and it's just painful waiting, lol! Just a measly inch or 2, how sad! :lachen: I'll post again in September. I should be somewhere by then.

I can't wait to see your pics too Candy. I can't wait to see everyone's length check pics this month.

My hair is growing like a weed!:grin: I definitely will have the length this year but not the beauty.... i.e. thick and full. Over all my hair is getting thicker but its growing so fast it doesn't has time to fill out completely before its off to another length. So I decided that where ever my hair ends up in length this year, next year I'll just work on trimming and thicking so the hair lengths can catch up with each other... The left side of my hair is already pass the top of the butt crack.... But yeah... I am excited about this month's length check!:yep:

Woowzers!! I can't wait to see pics. Do you usually get growth spurts during the summer? What is your regimen? You may be the first in this challenge to reach classic length. Congrats!
 
Candy, are you going to do a Ceiling Length challenge in the future?

I usually get growth spurts during the summer but not like this....

in the past I could not retain the length because of breakage due to drying out all the time...so I'd end up trimming what I gained. In the past I cowashed and oiled my scalp but it would still dry out in the summer and break off like crazy...

Now, I cowash but the difference is Mz.MoMo's hair juice recipe. It keeps my hair moist all of the time. I have experimented with different mixes of the recipe, but the mix I like most is: one tablespoon coconut oil, one tablespoon coconut milk, one teaspoon olive oil, two tablespoons veg. glycerin, two tablespoons VS Curl Essence and the rest water to a 12oz spray bottle. This is all I am using right now. One other thing that I think has really made the difference is after I wash my hair and it has drip dried a little, I section it in several braids... not too big and not to small. I spray each section with the hair juice mix throughly before braiding.

Everyday before going to bed I massage, section the hair spraying and braiding, then I put on my baggy and satin night cap. In the morning the braids can either stay or let my hair down and wear it curly (spraying to refresh)... The next evening I repeat... I still only finger comb.

I wash every 2nd, 3rd or 4th day... Depending on the weather... I DC only weekly using one of the Homemade conditioners from previous post.. My hair is never dry now... It just seems like I blink and my hair has grown again...

One thing I did not mention.... When I make my mix and add water, I am using only bottled water to do that.

This is tooo funny!:lachen: My guess is the growth will slow down come winter. But next year I will focus on beauty...i.e full and thick instead of more length....

:funny: :lachen::lachen: It's 6:26 am in Texas right now but for me it's 8:26 pm on Friday... I am still laughing about this pic...:lachen::rofl::laugh::trophy::lol::rofl:

I was actually rolling on the floor on this one.... tears running down my face!

I will probably do my length update pictures on the 26th of June. I'll try taking different pic's of my hair... But I want to do the same pics as before so I can show the difference from the last update.
 
thanks ladies :) now, just to make up for all the breakage, i'll be good to go :D

i need to wash my hair so bad... reckon i'll do it tomorrow lol
 
I have just pre-poo'd my hair with olive oil because today I will wash my hair with a clarifying shampoo to get rid of any buildup that can cause an imbalance on my scalp.:bath2: Periodically I like to use a clarifying shampoo. Then I will go back to cowashing.... Today is also a DC day!:grin: (this is Saturday for me...:bath:)

i've found that my scalp likes sulfate poos more often than i do or my hair does. so what i've been doing is using shampoo on my scalp every week but every other wk i only lather up my scalp and then rinse. then on the other wks i lather my scalp then run the suds to the ends of my hair and then rinse. seems my scalp is happier when i do this

You know... I think our hair and scalps are very similar..:rolleyes: Today when I washed my hair I only lathered up my scalp, rinsed, then DC'd... My hair and scalp was happy too!:grin: But we also seem to have other similarities...
