Re: GHLW - ~*~Grow Hair Like Weed Challenge!~*~

I'm in! I'm gonna be doing the baggie method and switch it up with two french braids from time to time.
 
Sounds like a great challenge. I will be wearing my hair down but finger combing and cwing a couple times a week. Buns and other updos do damage to my hair after a while. I'm in.

I want to thank all of you for joining me in the challenge. It will be a true challenge for me b/c I have never done this b/4 for such a long stretch. I hope to completely do way with combing my hair except when needed of course, like the rules state.

Also, I said that I will compile the names until the end of the week but that does not mean you can't join after that point.

Wishing the best to all!

Here is what I did tonight:

I messaged my scalp with Tea Tree Oil (b/c I just said No to MN :mad: ). This make my hair extra hard to finger comb but no worries!

Next I just played with it and it just felt good (there I said it!). I worked my finger thru the back part and gently worked thru the tangles. Then I did the same to the front and ended with all my hair going back. Once it is tangle free it is easy to style.

Next, I applied my moisturizer and oiled my hair to seal it in (thanks Sistaslick ;) ).

Last, I made a part with my finger for a bang and rolled it up. I did the same for the back. I can get away with this b/c my hair is not super long YET (but it will be soon) and the middle I plan on a bun.

There are some veterians here that can tell you better but that's what I did. I'm still learning so I have a ways to go.


HTH.

I do a loose wrap and air dry under a black mesh scarf for about 1/2 hour then cover with a silk or satin scarf until hair is totally dry. Then I apply my homemade MTG, and apply aloe veral gel to the crown hairline and edges and smooth edges with a soft natural bristle brush by Light Mountain Henna that is made especially for fine hair. I Pin back the crown and edges to ear level with bobby pins, then take the remaining hair and pin up next to the other area and sleep like that and leave it in for a whole day. I take it down and oil the ends pin up into a loose bun and cover with scarf....for about 3 days. Then I do the sulphur oil thing and the aloe gel at the crown and edges and back into the bun and silk scarf till wash day. I wash it once a week. I do nothing but finger comb gently to keep it from tangling when I take it down. HTH. bonjour.
 
yeah i wanna join too. i never usually comb my hair dry- i use my fingers for every day styling and comb in conditioner on wash day... i think its really helped- so ill be sticking with it. right now i have pressed my hair with the miniglide but once iv washed this out im in!

Any tips on hair styles? I am 10 weeks post and b/4 my last relaxer I swore off buns. I wore a bun for 4 months and now I absolutly HATE THEM!!!!!

I must say it did my hair a lot of good and I still wear a bun just not with all of my hair. I usually curl the front and bun the back. Change is good!

Braidouts are very good for growing your hair out and that is my next plan. Read BraidOut. There's lots of good info within this thread.

I am very proud of my hair! She has come a mighty long way!

Hey I'm in
I'm also on Supergrowout challenge but I don't think it will be a problem to keep this up for 3 months. I've just braided up anyways so I'll just stretch a little more for the end of this challenge.

hey lucia,

I am all for the supergrowth. Do you mind tell me what the challenge is? since i am new here.

OK, Ladies get ready for the “Growing Hair Like Weed” GHLW experience!

I am start the GHLW challenge today and it will last for 3 months.

Here is the plan:

  • Absolutely No (this means you! :mad: ) combing dry hair.
  • A comb can be use when conditioner (and lots of it :p ) is applied to detangle.
  • A comb can be used to rollerset (wet hair only :mad: ).
  • Your regular maintenance plan still applies
How often you wash is up to you. We already know that no manipulation grows hair so you have nothing to lose.
