the official grow your hair out challenge

Yeah, so, I want to grow my hair out to WL and I plan to achieve WL hair by December 2014. But, I do have a few goals in between. My first goal is to achieve SL hair by December 2012. And, by December 2013, I want to be atleast BSL or MBL.

I plan to do this by:

shampooing weekly with Elasta qp creme conditioning shampoo (Or whatever sulfate free shampoo that is good and moisturizing).

Deep condition hair weekly with one of the three: ORS replenishing deep conditioner, Elasta qp conditioning treatment (Don't know exact name but it's good), or my ORS hair mayonnaise for 15 minutes under hooded dryer or 45- 1 hour without a dryer under a plastic cap.

I plan to condition my hair weekly with my Giovanni 50:50 balancing conditioner

Use my Giovanni direct leave-in after every wash then seal with castor oil.

Moisturize and seal my hair daily with either: Glycerin/water mix, wave nouveau/water mix, Profectiv moisturizer, elasta qp mango butter, or my beloved Luster's s-curl no drip and then, of course, I would seal with my 100% pure castor oil. And, I will do this every morning and night.

I will definitely be wearing a satin bonnet to bed every night.

I will be doing the baggy method when I need to (Especially now that winter is approaching). But, I will still be careful with doing this too often cause there's a chance I can get moisture-overload again and I don't want that.

I will also be braiding my hair once every two months under my wig (As a protective style). I don't plan to wear my real hair out until December next year cause that's when I plan to blow it out and straighten it.

Did I forget anything?

Oh, yes. I will be clarifying my hair monthly with vo5 kiwi lime clarifying shampoo.

Also, I will be co-washing almost daily with either suave, vo5 conditioners or my favorite---HE hello hydration conditioner.

I will be doing the aphogee 2 step protein treatment on my hair once a month, also.

Oh, and I will be detangling my hair with Kinky Curly knot today everytime I take my braids down.

Also, I will definitely be taking my hairfinity vitamins, my biotin, garlic pills, and my multi-vitamins. And, will be working out and eating the recommended amount of foods I need to stay healthy and in shape.

So, with that said. I already know I will definitely be meeting my goals. And, I will be checking in every 6 months. See you in 6 months, ladies!

^^ I know right. That is a detailed regimen :-)

Oh I should've stated I am attempting going natural again after giving in to the creamy stuff & cutting my hair off to a short tapered pixie doo...It was cute but I want my hair back! It's about ear length now.

I'm in. I have a twa again and looking to grow my hair out to full and thick APL by December 2013.....again! I am in no rush this time around. I just want my hair healthy and my ends without SSKs and splits and with that I will be super happy.
