[anon123]

Count me in. I do okay in short-term challenges like these. I'm going to go hard on the protective styling. I'm also going to not use a comb or brush each time I detangle. I'm going to detangle with my fingers only at least every other detangling session.

It's not too late to join! I don't think I'll have a signup cutoff, but remember it's only a 2 month challenge! The earlier the better!

 

[Chaosbutterfly]

I'm in!
I'm going to hold off on posting pictures until I relax (it'll be soon), and I'll post my reggie soon too...right now I have to get off LHCF and work.

ETA:
Okay, here's what I'm going to be doing:

Daily Vitamins and Supplements:

• Biotin 7500 mgs
• Chlorella 4000 mgs
• Spirulina 3000 mgs
• Acai 3000 mgs
• Garlic 6000 mgs
• Sundown Naturals Hair, Skin, and Nails

Basic Regimen:
1. Shampoo, proteinate spinning, DC, and rollerset once a week.
2. If I have to clean my hair in between wash days, I'll DC, Co-wash, and rollerset.
3. Moisturize and seal hair as needed.
4. Oil scalp with JBCO/Vatika blend about twice a week.
5. Bun daily.
6. Keep hands, combs, and brushes out of hair.
7. Baggy ends at least three times a week.
8. Drink 64 oz of water a day.
9. Dust as needed.

I don't think I'll get to APL this year, so I'm going to make it my goal for this challenge. I probably won't have a man by Valentine's Day, but at least I'll have some hurr.

ETA:

Here's my starting point:

The line is APL, I'd like to get at least the tip of my hair past that line by February.
