PE,
I know I would love to see us focus on a styling technique for the month. I have seen some creative TWA styles on different boards, but still find myself style challenged. Since we'll be in this stage for a while, how about we focus on a style we can achieve with 3 inches or more. I'm curious to see how creative the other twa'ers are with their daily styling. I recently found some very cute, stylish headbands and a week and a half ago realized I had enough hair to pick out and wear a headband, so I'll be rocking those (cute and simple).
However, I know I have enough length for twists, but I can't seem to get them to stay. I'm either not using enough product or using too much product. I would like to do them all over without having the parts show.
Any tips or suggestions from anyone?

Great Suggestion!!!so anyone else trying to figure out how to look hot with their twa! I am almost everday! I have been just playing up the curl and going for the wet look with shine, perfect for summer!
I love bambiix2 channel on youtube. Well, she doesn't do that much to her hair but I love the way she styles her curls. You probably know about curlynikki.com's TWA section ..

If you scroll down you'll find some cool youtube videos.

I have another silly question. I think I may have measured horribly wrong earlier and I probably have 4+ inches of hair. This isn't necessarily bad, but this means I don't have a TWA, and I think not having one would make cowashing daily/every-other-day more difficult in terms of styling. I wanna start cowashing in the morning more frequently, but I don't know what to do after washing. I doubt I can do a WnG everyday because of tangling/SSK risks. But I also don't wanna have to deal with any time consuming styles like two strand twists or anything like that.
I know it sounds confusing, but the main thing is: I want to cowash daily, but since my hair has passed TWA status, what do I do with it (if that makes any sense)?

A VERY FEW PEOPLE HAVE NOT GIVEN ME AT LEAST A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF THEIR HAIR LENGTH! I AM REMOVING PEOPLE FROM THE LIST IF YOU HAVE NO MEASUREMENTS AT ALL. BUT IN ALL HONESTY EVERYONE NEEDS TO BUY A TAPE MEASURE!!!!YOU CAN GET THEM AT THE DOLLAR STORE OR USE A RULER!! LATER IN THE CHALLENGE WE WILL BE ABLE TO GO BY NL/SL/APL/BSL etc etc BUT NOT NOW!
TOMORROW IS START DAY!

OK Tamrin we are not keeping this up Ma'am. You need to buy a satin pillowcase if you are not going to wear a scarf and since our hair is still short you can do the condish only thing but YOU MUST seal with a light oil, can we agree on this for now????
Don't worry about me. All MY pillow cases are satin. I'm just not feeling the scarves and caps right now. Don't get me wrong I have 10 Silk scarves and 7 caps. lol. I'm trying not to use oils for now. but I spritz with Ozonated water 3 to 4 times a day. Im just trying to simplify my life right now. I have too many things I was doing. Oils and products after products. I'm on board. I choose to do it the simple way.

Ever think about wearing a puff? This is my second time going natural. The first time around I used to wash and go daily and put it in a puff. I still retained alot of length as well.

Please, please let me join! I BC'd March 22, 2009, but am currently only 3 - 4 inches in in length. The longest part of my hair is ALMOST 4.5 inches, but that ain't nothin'! 
erplexed
Stress, poor eating habits, and more stress
has caused my scalp to experience a whole lotta tension, and I believe that has been the reason why, in the 15 months since my BC I don't really have much to show for it. I have pics from about the first 8 months but then I got married and starting doing shows all over the US, so things have been a bit hectic. They have since simmered down, but I need this challenge to help get me back in the HGH-state that I began.
Here are some pics from before to now...
Please let me know if I can join!!!!
So far this is my regimen, just starting it this week:
Wash every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
Condition with Aphogee 2-minute Reconstructor on Mondays
Condition with KeraCare Humecto Creme Conditioner on Wednesdays
Deep-Condition with ORS Olive Oil Replenshing Pak on Fridays (at least 1 hour)
I use Hawaiian Silky Miracle Worker 14 in 1 as my daily moisturizer
I also use Pure Shea Butter, Haitian Oil, CHI Silk Infusion, and Water in my hair. Sometimes I'll make a mix or apply individually.
I also use MN on my trouble spots.
I hope I'm pleading my case for membership well!

Hello Challengees! I want to add that I started taking futurebiotics hair, skin and nail pills yesterday. Ive never had any luck with hair growth in the past using supplements, it always seems as if my nails grow unbelievably long but I never notice a difference in my hair. I will let you guys know if I experience any results.
I will also be ordering a hair mask from Arbonne..I tried a sample and I loved how it made my hair retain moisture. I will be giving updates on that as well when I use it the second time around.

I BC'd Sept 30,2009 to half an inch of hair. I currently have 4-5 inches of hair around my head.
I am 4a/4b, and my hair is protien sensetive. My hair like shea butter and glycerine (I have yet to try mixing the two but its sure to come) And my hair loves water.
Right now I am trying to DC twice a week and have my hair twisted up for the most part.
I will add more later, this is my intro.
Warning!!! The pics are huge when you click on them. sorrry

Kool...I just figured out how to make attachments...
The photo with straight hair is just a flat-ironed shot...I've been natural for 7 years but I big chopped in January...
please forgive my unphotogenic-ness...I had ringworm in the pictures...Dang kids!
I will continue to take my Chlorella, exercise, and eat well...

I haven't seen the YT videos on curlynikki, but yes, I have seen the TWA thread and those ladies are fierce. I can't do any of the hair styles yet, I'm mostly waiting for length and practice.
Thanks, I'm going to look at it!Similar threads
