Super Grow Out Challenge begins 1/1/05

This is a fun way to start the New Year. I even have a special section in my new FC organizer for this :bookworm: .
 
Add me!

Current length: shoulder length
goal length: bra strap, but aiming for armpits this year
Will try to be consistent in keeping my ends moisturized, scalp clean, protective styles to retain length, rollersetting instead of using the flat iron and always sleeping on a satin scarf and pillowcase.

Good luck everyone!

The left pic is how I have and will be keeping my hair for the rest of this 2005 in individual braids in the back and left out at the crown. Both pics were taken on December 6, 2004 after washing. The left pic is my hair after combing the braids and re-braiding them. The right pic shows on of the braids in the back combed out after washing just to show the length since my last relaxer was in February. My consistency will not be product-related but keeping my hair braided since this way has helped me retain more length.

Hello everyone

Here is mine:

Starting Point:

SGO.jpg


Goal: To be able to roller set on Teal rollers. Right now I am using yellow with a few oranges and tan. ( Is this unrealistic?)

Regimen:

1. Pre-Shampoo using various oils and conditioners

2. Shampoo using various shampoos

3. Deep Condition routing between protein, moisturizer and hair mayonnaise

4. Leave- In - Either NTM Silk Touch or Profectiv Break-free

5. Roller set using EQ Foam Setting Lotion, Moisture Mixture (that I made) and Profectiv Healthy End

6. Take Set down and add a little Serum and finger comb

7. Between Roller set: Dry Set each night adding a little Healthy Ends to the ends.

8. Mid Week: CO Wash

9. Maybe once a week wears my hair in a phonytail or bun


10. Starting Surging my weak spots

Bottom Line: To keep it simple and easy.

Relax every 8-10 weeks with Profectiv Relaxer

Drink more water

My current length is the top of brastrap. My regime will include the baggie/bun method and using surge twice a day.
 
I would like to be a part of this challenge, have not had a perm in 2 months and not sure when I will get the next one. Last check though shoulder lenght hair-current daily routine- surging scalp 2x a day also essential oils and shampoo and deep condition twice a week with motions and profective conditioner. Aphogee every 6 weeks for breakage and baggie/bun challenge every day for the past month and will continue for the 6 month challenge.
 
Happy New Year to everyone!

Since my hair is longer in the back than the front I will just say my hair is at the base of my neck. My regimine is in my journal.

Put me in. I'm curious to see where I am a year from today.

On 1.1.05, the tip of my V in the back is 2 inches(I think) away from touching my BS. I'm due for a trim in Feb.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Count me in! I thought about wearing a wig or a weave to aid in my hair growth (less manipulation) but I've decided to go back to using Carolyn Gray's regime. I got the best results from using her regime.

I dont know how to post a pic but Ill use my December photos in my album as my starting length.

My regimen will be pretty simple, I plan to start rollersetting tho' . The only thing thats really different is I plan to increase my protein intake(along with excerise) and take a b-complex vitamin.

my ends only or spray them with oil I am currently on the wig, water, and now the super grow out so the first 2 should help me along with the third.
starting length:about 8in root-tip or 20in hairline-tip about 4in from brastrap

This is EXACTLY what I am doing.
I just started with the cornrows, and I plan to keep them in for 2 months at a time. I SOAK my ends in shea butter followed by the baggie method. I am a bit lazy with the Surge and only do it once a day , about 3x a week. I thought about braiding my hair w/ extensions, but I am too lazy. I wish the local beauty school only charged $15. They charge $35, so I have to braid myself. Bra strap by the ned of this year would be great:) but we'll see.
 
To not break the no length check challange, I only took pictures of airdried hair. I am around 15 weeks post relaxer. I will be doing a mix of braids and protective styles...braidouts, twistouts etc. My starting pictures are in my super grow out challenge folder on fotki.
 
I want to join! count me in on this one too! :) I'm already on the crown & glory method challenge, so what could it hurt ?! :cool:
