Add me! Add me!
1. Post a starting picture by the last week of May. If you're getting a sew in or braids please post a pic before then.
I will post a picture at the end of May.
2. State number of inches and body measurement mark of your longest layer of hair. So if the hair along your nape is 10" and reaches APL state so.
My hair is now 7 inches ( I measure from the base of my nape ). It is APL.
3. Mention your Regimen. This includes wash routines, staple products, vitamins and how you plan to wear your hair during the summer. I'm not placing restrictions. If you want to flat iron your hair everyday and change the color every week that's on you. However, don't feel bad if others are two inches longer and you're two inches shorter.
I will be doing wash-n-go's all throughout the summer. Cowashing daily will help me feel cool and fresh in the scorching Florida weather. I'll be using Suave conditioners and Garnier Sleek & Shine Leave In. I will also be using my oils (Walnut, Sweet Almond, Avocado, Hempseed, Castor, Coconut, and Olive) to seal. And my good 'ole trust EcoStyler
4. Also, mention if you're relaxed or natural. I don't think hair type is important but you can mention it if you want to.
I am natural. 3c/4a
5. Lastly, if you come to any hair epiphanies over the summer, please do share
Will do!

1. Starting pics attached below.
2. State number of inches and body measurement mark of your longest layer of hair. So if the hair along your nape is 10" and reaches APL state so.
I just made BSL (as of the end of May 2010..pic below taken May 30th, 2010).
3. Mention your Regimen. This includes wash routines, staple products, vitamins and how you plan to wear your hair during the summer.
I will be in protective styles most of the summer with crochets. I just took them out on Sunday after having them in for four weeks, and will get them done in a couple more weeks. When I'm not in crochets I'll be doing buns, phony phonies, half wigs, twist out/bantu knot outs and just wearing my hair up in a clip.
Regimen:
-While in crochets I shampoo as needed (1 time a week or every other week) with Cream of Nature. If I don't shampoo for 2 weeks, I'll do an ACV rinse a week after I shampoo.
-I DC 1x a week with ORS mixed with EVOO and EVCO.
-Moisturize daily with spritz bottle, that consists of NTM/water mix. Sometimes VO5/water mix. Seal with Cocount oil.
-No direct heat
-Take Be Whole Multi-vitamins from GNC. (Trying to be in a routine of taking those twice daily.) Drink lots of water.
While not in crochets, same regi applies, but I'll do a co-wash a couple times a week with VO5 Moisture Milk.
4. Also, mention if you're relaxed or natural.
I am doing a long term transition to natural. I'm 11 months post (49 weeks post).

thanks for adding me, LovelyNaps26!
1. Post a starting picture by the last week of May.
i'm presently working on getting a picture ready.
2. State number of inches and body measurement mark of your longest layer of hair. So if the hair along your nape is 10" and reaches APL state so.
this one is tough because i'm 14 wks post and havent measured for the obvious reasons.
i WILL be doing a touch up in the next 2-3 wks, though, so i should have something more accurate than anything i would measure now, by then.
3. Mention your Regimen. This includes wash routines, staple products, vitamins and how you plan to wear your hair during the summer.
i'm cowashing 3-7 times a week. i'm using HE HH, HE LTR, HE Hydraliscious, Neaclear Liquid Oxygen, AO HSR, AO GPB, Mega Tek Rebuilder, Mega Tek Cream Rinse, Jhirmack EFA Moisturizing Conditioner, Jane Carter Nutrient Replenisihing Conditioner, Giovanni Direct Leave-In Conditioner, Phyto 7 Daily Hydrating Botanical Cream, Chi Keratin Mist, Joico K-Pak Reconstructor, John Masters Organics Deep Follicle Treatment, John Masters Herbal Cider Hair Clarifier, Vitale Revive Positive Conditioner, Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea Restructurizer, Aphogee ProVitamin Leave-In Conditioner.
My staples are in BOLD PRINT.
i plan to mostly baggy bun, wearing my hair out no more than twice a week.
i take: biotin, chlorella, spirulina, multi hair vitamin, garlic supplements and avc with aloe vera in a glass of water with horsetail extract daily.
4. Also, mention if you're relaxed or natural.
i am texlaxed as of January 14th, 2010; before that i always had permed bone straight.
(no more of that!)
5. Lastly, if you come to any hair epiphanies over the summer, please do share.
i hope to have some to share!

I definitely would like to join this challenge. I'm currently in two strand twists and will be taking them out more than likely next week or the week after, so I will post a starting pic then. I'm currently shoulder length with my nape at about 7 inches. I still have around 3 inches or so before I reach APL.
I will be changing my regimen once my twists are out. I am currently 10 months into my transition. I will be shampooing weekly with Pantene Relaxed and Natural and will deep condition for 1 hour with plastic caps with Pantene Relaxed and Natural Breakage Defense Mask. I will not be using heat for the remainder of the year and will experiment with braid outs and twist outs as well as buns. I will be applying Boundless Tresses to my scalp every other day. I will also be using Care Free Curl Gold on my hair daily and rebraiding my braid outs every night and tie my hair up with a satin scarf.
I also take multivitamins as well as a hair, skin, and nail vitamin and chlorella. I am forcing my self to stick to a exercise regimen and will start working out at least 3 days a week and having a daily protein drink as well as increasing the amount of water I drink daily. I'm hoping to speed up my growth to at least 0.5" a month since my normal growth rate is around 0.35" - 0.4" a month. I am also hoping to retain all of my growth and reach APL by December.
HHG everyone!

I'm up for the challenge, please add me.
My starting pic is in my siggy. I co-wash daily and will be wearing my hair in a bun all through the summer rotating with a wig when I reach 12 weeks post relaxer.
I shampoo my hair weekly with henna soap and deep condition with a mix of Joico Moisture Recovery conditioner and GVP conditioning balm. My co-wash conditioner is V05 Moisture Milks. After every wash I spray my hair with Aphogee Green Tea and Keratin Reconstuctor spray and Chi Keratin Mist and seal with Chi Silk Infusion.
When I need a hint of protein, I use Aphogee 2-Minute Reconstructor or my beloved Aveda DR.
That’s basically it, I’m hoping to retain all my growth this summer.
