Honestly I was just trying to find a way to get through product! Lol but I feel terribly frumpy with my updo style that I do with wet hair. I want to change it up. I think I might install some crochet braids and see how that works out
Nice schedule!
I hope the smoothies and bamboo tea, give you the extra growth spurts and health benefits
It was my pleasure! ☺ Once I reach WL, I definitely using themThank you for finding these videos for me! I will watch them today, but the way you laid them out is exactly what I needed...to see the difference between the two types of sets. My mother used to use magnetic rollers WAY back in the day -- she might have still been relaxed at the time -- so I have no real frame of reference for rollers or what they can do. I thank you and YT for setting me on the right path.
My current routine is pretty much the same routine has been pretty consistent for years. Wash once per week, style, moisturize as needed. I joined this challenge to help me flush out my ideas for the "capillary schedule" which is just a fancy way of saying "hair schedule" which is what this challenge is all about! and figuring out how it would work with ayurveda. Mission accomplished, so now going forward, I have a better understanding of how to select which herbs I will use each week. I've been having so much fun with this challenge! But the challenging part of this challenge will be maintaining all of the "above and beyond" tasks like the massages. I don't know if or how they will make a difference to my hair, but I feel that they will. This is where the schedule is actually putting me to work. Massages don't come naturally to me like my wash day routine so, I'm here with you the whole way through!
On that note, I DID massage my hair yesterday! And I totally forgot that I wanted to do shakes and teas but was reminded after reading your response so I guess I'm going to have to write it into my calendar after all.
why I’m trying to make it a habit and doing inversion. They are easy to do so we should make the effort. Think of your goal at the end of the year Thanks for being with me because I have a longer journey ahead of me than you do, you’re at or close to WL! 
It was my pleasure! ☺ Once I reach WL, I definitely using them
Make sure it’s dried “stretched” hair if you do flex rods on dry hair
I feel like you should take baby steps with change and additions. Remember I tried to do too many things at once. If we overwhelm ourselves, we won’t be consistent. We should pick the most important things to us and start there. Add things as we become consistent with one new thing at a time. For example, you might want to pick between the bamboo tea and the smoothie instead of adding them both to your calendar.
I completely understand about the massages not coming natural! Like it’s so easy but it’s just not something we’re used too. Making it habit, it will become second nature
Many people with lengths past WL massage their head. Massages are a big deal
Nice you got a massage in yesterday
Haha at 5 new herbs instead of testing, that’s a lot of usYeah, I am so bad with doing things small. You know how you're supposed to do tests with individual ayurvedic herbs to see if your hair likes them? I will mix 5 at a time and then go from there.
I'm really bad with food, especially being consistent with food stuffs. I should start off with one at a time, but I've been so spotty with one or the other that I'm like, to hell with it. Especially, since I want to capitalize on summer being a growing season. I only have about 2 months of it being warm so if I wait to build up habits, it'll be fall and cold. If I do end up slacking then in the fall I'll try one, then add the other. But I'm not goign to slack. Right? RIGHT?
I hope we get many new growing habits that will stay with us. When we reach our lengths we can trim down some of the frequency of growing habits. For me that will be the inversion to once or twice a month. DC with heat once a week and so on.
Nice!
Massaged this morning for 5 minutes. Will try to do inversion in the evening. Hopefully I don’t forget!
I'm doing ok. I decided to stop using the braid spray and going back to using Scurl to moisturize my crochet braids. BRX braid spray its not as moisturizing and I don't like the smell. Will be posting a new schedule soon.
Boring tends to yield the best results
I think you’re doing amazing The calendars are intended to keep us on track Are you seeing any benefits?
Glad you had great results! You should try to make a lotion formulation for daily useMy "simple" hair masked turned into: kaolin clay + goat's milk powder, kelp powder, triphala, spirulina, molasses, SAA, hydrolyzed protein (jojoba and baobab), inositol, panthenol, and cetrimonium chloride.
My hair feels soooo soft. I like it!
I also managed to get my massage in!
I think oral supplements generally take 1 to 2 months to see benefits with daily or directed use.
@snoop
Apologies I’ve been MIA!! I am doing a lifestyle change that I will be maintaining through my lifetime. It’s been taking a lot of time and research with the numerous contradicting information out there. The research took priority in my busy schedule because it is the foundation of health and will allow health and body to thrive. With that being said, I’ve neglected my HC with concentration on research. I believe I finally concluded everything once and for all regarding my lifestyle transition. The last week in June I’m going to be focusing on refreshing braids and then start July HC routine
Boring tends to yield the best results
Congrats on consistency with the Shakes and Teas
I discovered this month I need to stay away from masks until I’m out of braids. Enjoy for me until then

Next month’s agenda will definitely be upping massages and exercise, glad we’re on the same wavelength here
