Add me as I just got 2 new wigs and will probably wig it out the entire 6 month challenge.

My regiment will be weekly washing and deep conditioner treatment (protein & moisture), rebraid and add wig cap and put on wig and style to go. I plan to also daily moisturize hair 2x (morning and night). I want to keep it simple. No heat and Grow lots of healthy hair.

[jayjaycurlz]

Here's my starting pic.

 

[BlkOnyx488]

I am in
My siggy pic is the most recent length check.
I will get a half wig I have had my eye on for a while that's on ebay. Unless I find one in the wig shop I like better

 

[Aggie]

Okay I'm in and this is the closest pic I have to wear I am right now:

Please bare in mind that I will be chopping some more off next year, trying to fully transition to texlax hair at the end of next year or the beginning of 2011. I do want to join the challenge to commit to keeping my hair hidden though.

 

[DivaD04]

i want a KIS reggie. I'm not sure on my reggie just yet but i will figure it out in a day or 2. otherwise as follows:
Poo/Co 3x's a week (i really want to try yes to carrots)
DC once a week (not solid)
shea butter/coconut oil are my staples

i really want to bkt, i'm still trying to figure out which one i want...i'm really pondering dream hair.

braids, lace wigs, and my hair bonnets(usually quick trips or around the house) are my methods of hiding my hair

 

[Ruby True]

Hi,
my regimen I will shampoo once a month with aphogee and bic soda. Cowash 1-2x/week, DC with ORS replenshing pak once per week. Protein/moisture balance with Joico kpak reconstructor and moisturizer as needed and leave ins are Aphogee pro vit and green tea. Using Afroveda products for moisture when they get here. Hiding hair in cornrows or buns (sort of)

checking in - still wigging it.....seeing new growth since my BC on the 4th. Plus my curls are springy.

Reggie has been mostly:

baggy every other night
try to co-wash every other day
moisture with shea butter and EVOO each day
DC once a week
air dry with my scarf on my way to work
no heat

I slacked a little bit last week due to moving and working. But hopefully this week I'm back on my schedule.

 

[PPGbubbles]

I have attached my starting pic which was taken at the end of Sept. Im currently weaved up and ready to commit!! I am excited about the challenge but I know around spring time It will get rough so I look forward to makin progress with u ladies

*added the 1/31 length check the 2nd and 3rd pics are from that date

 

[ladysaraii]

[AMAKA127]

end of august

my hair has been in a sew in since ...

 

[irsgirl]

Me Too pleeeeeeze.

My avatar is my starting picture. I did a big chop on 10/17/2009.

I am currently bunning to hide my hair.

moisturize with HS 14-1 and seal with coconut an jojoba oil twice daily.

cowash on Wednesdays with cheap moisture conditioner.

wash on Saturday with cream of nature ultra moisturizing shampoo and alternate each

Saturday between protein and deep conditioner.

I relax every 12 weeks.

 

[justicefighter1913]

Hmm, I'm thinking that I'll be sticking with the regimen that I've been using for about a month. Cowash 1-2x/ week depending on if I'm swimming or not. Do an Aryuvedic hair mask, DC with Kenra, leave in (soon to be Oyin handmade). Sealing my ends nightly w/ castor oil. Moisturize w/ afroveda....hope that isn't too much....lol I know ya'll will let me know I'm trying to recover from a setback.
