I haven't done a challenge in years. I've been natural for about 4 1/2 years and have mostly worn my hair in it's natural state or with fro. This has resulted in tangles, ssk's, and stunted growth. I think rollersetting my hair will make a huge difference in retaining length.
In October for my 40th birthday I did a 2nd big chop and also colored my hair for the first time. I will see if I can find pictures.
For challengers wanting to join, after thanking this post answer the following questions:
Current hair length: It's pretty much a twa still and not quite neck length
Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd:Natural
Current Setting method and styling choices: yesterday I set my hair for the first time since being natural and it turned out ok, but I had to flat iron it a little to get the straightness I wanted. I'm still figuring this out, but I think it will be magnetic rollers, maybe flexirods, and perm rods. I will also like to try my hand at setting and then doing a saran/silk wrap to wear it straight.
Current Setting products: Yesterday I used water, TJ's Nourish & Spa conditioner, and a light gloss by Aveda - seriously will need to figure out this product thing
Thing(s) you would like to work on/are hoping to achieve: Moisture, length retention, and finding the right methods for my fine natural hair
How long do you plan to set?: Not sure, I will try it for the first 3 months of the year and see how it goes. But, I would love to make this a regular part of my regimen.
This was me a few weeks ago about to go to my friend's 40th bday party, this was a quick twist out:
This is a couple of weeks ago in its fro state
