I just hear a lot about porosity issues on the board when some ladies have certain issues with their hair. I can see how the henna can elongate your curls, that's cool. What about the ACV does that stretch out your curls too? TIA.

Not sure about porosity havin anything to do with my shrinkage. I just know that after I wash it, this stuff needs to be braided up or pony puffed to stretch it or it'll be hell. The kinky coilies are no joke.
 
Hey ladies! I'm doing pretty good so far. I've been doing cowashes and wng's until I can actually get someone to braid me up. I've been keeping it simple with as little manipulation as possible.

As you can see, shrinkage is killer!
 
Please add me! My bc date was Friday, May 14th and I have a TWA of 3 1/2 months of growth. I can't wait to get some length!! I'm co-washing and mega-teking my way to SL hair. Grow baby, grow!

I was supposed to post my regimen:
1.) I co-wash with Suave, Aubrey Organics, or Giovanni Smooth as Silk 3-4 times per week
2.) I use KCCC after a co-wash and the following days I touch up with S-curl
3.) My pre-poos are any of my choice condish and seal with Vatika oil overnight.

I just got my Qhemet Biologics and I can't wait to try the the Amla Heavy Cream, Eqyptian wheatgrass (I think?) shampoo and the Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee.

I can't to see my growth on July 25th!! I have a good solid 2 1/2 months to get growing!!

love the vid Chameleonchick, plus you got great growth. Evallusion your hair is thick girl, keep up the good work. To all the new members welcome and HHG. To keep me sane I try keeping my hair cornrowed. I plan to where my hair cornrowed all the time I'll just switch up the style as much as possible. Here is my latest style

Thank you. Your hair looks awesome by the way! :yep:
 
I just combed and twisted my hair for the first time, since I cut my hair. It took about 3 hours. :rolleyes: I won't be doing it again for awhile.

It feels better than having that shrunk afro though. :drunk:
 
Hello ladies. I was just trying to catch up on everyone's progress (I finally got my internet hooked up over here), seems like everyone is doing well. I've been Wearing WNGs all the time because its just easy, but I noticed some ssk's so I'm gonna have to cut down on that. I think my hair is growing but its hard to tell because of the shrinkage. I'll be working on updating my fotki in the next few weeks.
 
checking in its hard trying to wash and rebraid this head everyweek so most times i just tie it down underneath my wig, the longer it grows the larger my braids can get so it is getting easier its just moving like a snail:perplexed
 
I'm wearing my first ever twist-out after my first ever set of twists. This was a trial run in case it came out horribly. its after 11 at night here and I'm just lounging in the house.
I like it! Now I wish I would've just waited until tomorrow and wore it out :ohwell:
 
Ugh! I suck at checking in,but I am still devoted to this challenge:yep:

Ladies,I have also started baggying after stalking that baggying challenge thread,and I did not think it was possible,but doing that boosted the moisture content of my hair soooo much!!!

I have been putting my hair in multiple buns,plaits,or bantu knots after moisturizing with a good condish and sealing with some oil. I then wrap an individual baggy over one or two of the buns,plaits,or knots,and go on about my business. I hate to whole head baggy,because my scalp was starting to get itchy,but this is just perfect:yep:

I am in braids right now again(it seems like I have been alternating between braids,and wearing my hair out for two months at a time) and I plan to keep these until August.

My braids get raggedy pretty quickly, because I moisturize the **** out of htem. I do not allow my hair to get dry in braids. I have not experienced any breakage or damage this way. I have to redo them more often,but that is not a problem for me as I am a self braider,and my two sisters also do hair,so I can always ask one of them to get me together if I get lazy. They don't touch my edges though:nono:
I am the only one that braids my edges because I like to keep them:yep:

This is long,and I will try to find some pics when I get home later to do an update,since I know I have never done one before:perplexed
 
I will post pics tonight. I keep forgetting about the challenges. But I am still on board!!
 
Checking in: I am ready to get a cute wig while my hair grows out. Since I see it everyday, I can't keep my hands out of it!! Then I start stressing about what it will look like by December. That will make a girl crazy!! Any suggestions on good human hair wigs that won't break my pocket? I can't wait for enough length to get braided up for a minute.

Here are some more pics the day after my BC:
