I joined the waist length challenge last year and I completely forgot to update my progress. Sorry flowline, I hope you will let me join this challenge and I will definitely try to keep to your rules!
Ok here are my stats:
- post your starting photo and fotki:
- post your starting length and expected HL date:
I'm actually shooting for hip length this year. I do have to trim a bit off my ends but even so I reckon HL is within reach by the end of December 2013.
- post your hair status (relaxed, transitioning or natural) - Relaxed ladies, post last perm date.
Natural
- post your DETAILED regimen (include your vitamins and growth aids):
Reggie is changing this year simply because I will have to re-think my protective styling. My hair has outgrown all my current weaves and I'm not about to spend any more money for hair that I won't wear that often! Ok here is my reggie:
-Prepoo with oil, Wash with sulfate free poo & DC with either a protein conditioner or an all natural home made DC.
-As I plan to wear my hair out more often this year, I am seriously considering washing every two weeks instead of weekly, decision yet to be made.
- Hard protein aka Aphogee two step or henna every 6 weeks or so for strengthening
- Moisturize with creamy leave in daily and seal either with oil or my serum.
- After wash day, wear my hair down for 2-3 days after which it will go into a bun or ponytail until my next wash day.
- In regards to supplements, this year I plan to add some separate supplements rather than an all-in-one. MSM, Silica & Biotin are the frontrunners at the moment but that may change.
- Since I will seriously be working on my body this year as well, I expect a big change of diet which will hopefully help my slow growth to pick up a bit. If I get 5 inches this year, it will be a vast improvement!

Hair Steamer #2, R.I.P. *pours out a little conditioner*

As for the steamer, it allows DC to penetrate deeper into the strands because it lifts the cuticles. Your hair is more deeply moisturized so, it keeps your strands and ends supple. I like to add honey to my DC since it's a humectant, it really pulls in the moisture from the steam. Also, it increases circulation to the scalp, opens the pores so that dirt, oils and scalp buildup in more easily released as well as scalp stimulation. Oh, and if you henna, it cuts the time in half. I think that's the same for dying too.
