I would like to, but I do not want to do braids until the summer, can I do weaves or wigs instead? with cornrows underneath?
would this be similar to the wigs, weaves, extensions challenge?

Hi -
I've come out of lurking to join in the discussion and would love to join this challenge.
I've been using the C/G method since mid-December. Well, maybe a slightly modified version - my hair is braided in corn rows every two weeks with about two days off - I can't bear it when I cannot wash my hair completely and I have no clue what do with the new growth as I've been relaxed since I was about 12. While in braids, I am using Phytojoba and Nizoral shampoo and Phtyokaratie mask for washing and conditioning twice per week. Additionally, I use Proclaim 7Oil and African Pride Braid Spray daily when I get out of the shower.
Before beginning, I had a very bad relaxer with lots of breakage - so chop chop. I should have stuck with self-relaxing using Phytospecific, but allowed myself to be talked into a different (cheaper) product and had someone else do it. I will relax my hair again. I had planned April, though by joining this challange I'll try for September, but it will probably be August.
I'm very excited to have found and joined this board. Count me in.

i usually wash my braids in the shower by rubbing the shampoo in my hands and then between and over the braids. It gets the braids messy, but it works, same with conditioner - both pre and post shampoo.
I reviewed the C&G method today and will try it that way next time - using the diluted shampoo and sponge. It seems like that will keep the braids neater.
I have to shampoo or I get really, really itchy no matter how much spray or oil I use. I have found that using the conditioner before and after shampoo, frequent shampooing, and oil after makes for very soft and well moisturized hair when I take it down.

Count me in!!!! I used this method last year when trying to grow out of a bad short haircut. I will probably use it this time to transition.

Count me in too!!! I have been doing the CAG method for about 8 months and have gotten major growth. I went from ear length to a few strands at shoulder length.

I'm in...I just got some really cute braids put in last saturday in efforts of trying to stretch my relaxer (currently 6 weeks post), trying to strectch to at least twelve weeks. I know I can do it. Jamaican Black Castor Oil (very good product,wish I found it years ago) will be used throughout this process. TheJBCO for daily moisture,mixed with WGO and water. and weekly wash and conditioner with the braids in, with hot oil treatment using the oil. (yes I know...I'm overdueing the oil..but I know my hair...it needs it) and in between braided styles I'll add a light protein treatment for strength and/or my new love silicon mix.
