Hi Ladies,
It's been about a month since we started this challenge, so I thought we should update on the first of the month. Please update us on whether you are still on the challenge, your progress, and any problems or questions that you have.
My update:
- I've been going consistenly 1x per week. Last week was the only exception, I went to the Salon last sunday and got a relaxer. I knew I was going to be away this weekend so I washed it myself on thursday. When I washed it I followed the same process that they do at the salon. It came out pretty well. One thing I can say is after doing it myself, I realize how much better I like my hair when they do it, I'm lazy
.
-My hair has gotten a longer. I believe I retained about 1 inch between last sunday's relaxer and the relaxer I got at the beginning of January
.
-I am experiencing very little breakage or shedding too
. I experience little shedding right before the relaxer too, even though I had a lot of new growth.
-I'm trying to make sure that I moisturize with WGO or CD Healthy Hair Butter 2x per day, I need to stick to this.
-I am considering adding Hairtopia or Hair Formula 37 to my regimen to speed up my growth. I would love to get 1 inch per month. That would mean I could be very close to bra-strap this year, (I have a short torso, I probably only need 10 inches to get there).
I can't wait to go to the salon later this week or this weekend.
Send in your updates, I can't wait to see how everyone is doing.

to almost gone now 
erplexed . I have been experiencing trouble there this winter because I was trying to be cute with my Pashmina scarf. I'm no longer wearing that only silk/satin now, though it's not as warm. Anyway, WGO has helped me to soften it up so it's starting to fill back in. The middle of the kitchen is doing the best right now, the sides need more help. I have started (since the end of last week) to use a concoction of essential oils to stimulate the growth back there, I massage them in for a few minutes then wrap my head in a warm towel. I found the recipe on this board. I'll let you know how that turns out. My recommendation is not to let anything touch back there that isn't your silk scarf, no turtlenecks, nothing! I also try to remember to moisturize back there 2x per day (though sometimes I forget).
