Personal Hair Challenge
On 3/12/12 I decided to start my own personal hair challenge.
I am goin to remain curly for a WHOLE YEAR!!!! I know it sounds like a long time but I have faith I can do it! I will be doing updates every 3 months untill the challenge is up on 3/12/13. I am doing this to gain thickness, length and most important health! I also want my curl pattern to become more uniform so I think this will help. Now on this challenge I plan on finding the perfect products for me which is going to be a lot of trial and error and money =/
During this challenge I will:
-be taking Hair, Skin and Nail vitamins
-TRYING to drink more water
-co-washing everyother night
-hot oil treatments every 2 weeks
--if i decide to change or add anything it will be in future updates also the products I use and hairstyles will be posted in future updates
Well stay keep reading and stay tuned for updates

Hair Update: July- Aug
July: My hair regimen consisted of co-washing, bunning, and mini twist. I also did a self trim because my ends were DISGUSTING...My hair is still grazing BSL. I also plan on starting a personal no heat challenge for the rest of the year so about 4-5 months and even then I probably won't straighten my hair until April so lets just say I'm going to go 9 months wit no heat.
Aug: I'm getting senegalese twist which are a GREAT protective style for just about anytime of yr. I plan on keeping them in until about Oct-Nov depending on how they look by then. One of the products that I will use while my hair is in the twist will be Hollywood beauty castor oil** I absolutely love this product it leaves my hair soft and shiny.
Hair Goals:
Full BSL: Nov 2011
MBL or grazing MBL: Dec 2011
Full MBL: April 2012
NO HEAT untill April 2012
Protective styling 90% of the time
