-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Requirements
when we start let's post our starting pics then from there post your update/progress pic every 3 months.
EDIT 12/27 **Official start date is January 2nd 2010, But this challenege is for a year so you can also start at anytime during the year but try to at least do the challenge for 3 months. the end date is December 2010, however,[/B] you can do the challenge for as long as you want be it 3 months, 6 months or the full year
**I also wanted to add that we don't have to use the conventional rollers i.e. magnetic type rollers for this challenge either, I know rollersetting can be aggravating so I also wanted to mention that we can use other tools like Curlformers, flexirods, jerri curl type rods, ceramic rollers, wet wraps too.
it's also cool if you choose to rollerset on dry hair BUT on hair that's been airdried not blown out, I only say this because were trying to become less dependant on using too many heat appliances, the heat from hooded dryers as we know is less damaging (indirect) and airdrying of course is always better (my hair doesn't like airdrying but it's still the better method for those that can do it successfully).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rules:
This is going to be a more laid back challenge, a keep it simple one, I know rollersetting can take up alot of a person's time. You can post your starting length pics. Rollerset no more than 2x's weekly, I wash my hair twice a week. Rollersets on wet hair after a wash, or airdried hair. I figure since this is a more lenient challenge we will all be more loyal to it instead of the jail style challenges that are strict lmao!
1. What rollers will you be using?
2. What products will you use to set? (i.e. setting lotion, leave ins, serums etc.)
3. What do you want to achieve in your stretch (length, health both)?
4. Will you be using a blowdryer on your roots? Will you be using a blowdryer at all (optional)?
5. Will you be airdrying or using a hooded or bonnet dryer?
6. What styling tools will you be using? (fine tooth comb etc)
for the blowdryer part i'm lenient since sometimes I myself do blowdry on low heat high temp to get smoother hair/roots, I notice when I round brush the hair and THEN do a saran wrap I get better sleeker results. in the end it is still less heat than if I blew my hair out from wet to dry on high speed high temp.
post updated pics every 3 months (if you are doing the challenge for 3 - 6 months post pics every month and 1/2, I think it's better to give your hair a chance and normally a few months is a good enough time to see if there is any change in your hair, sometimes it takes more than a month for progress.
For styling at night you can pin curl, wrap or whatever method you have that is gentle on the strands. flat ironing is ok for the roots!!!! I have not flat ironed my hair since Oct 17th 2009 and that was only for a party. You get a few passes for the full head.
But lets try to stick to no flat ironing (except for the roots) unless it's for length checks. AND if you must flatiron your whole head just try to keep it to a minimum, I swear I didn't think i'd make it without my flatiron but it's really been pleasant without using it soooo much.
These are the tools that I use for my rollersets:
I do not use extra fine teeth combs I am trying to keep hair on my head but it's your preference.

this is a great detangler and smoother
http://www.sallybeauty.com/Bone-Super-Tail-Comb/SBS-152005,default,pd.html
I use the super tail comb after using my jilbere to apply conditioners, leave in etc then I use the cricket comb
that's all I can think of for now, ya'll can chime in if you want to edit anything,
