I like to join. I'm in the midst of transitioning. So, I'm dealing with shrinkage galore!
Regimen:
Fall/Winter (I live in Southern California):
Co-wash 2x a week with either Suave Almond and Shea Butter or HE Hello Hydration
DC once a week using Silk Elements MegaSilk Moisturizing Treatment under a plastic cap for an hour or more (if the mood hits me)
Moisturize with my leave-in mix of VO5 Moisture Milks, aloe vera juice/gel, peppermint oil, and water at least once daily
Seal with my oil mix of coconut, avocado, EVOO, castor, peppermint, and rosemary oils at least once daily
Lightly trim twice a year, if needed
Use protective styling (e.g. updos/buns), hats (e.g. berets), or low manipulative styles (e.g. braidouts, ponytails)
Biotin once daily (only 300 mg - I don't go overboard)
Sleep with a satin bonnet
Cleanse scalp once a month
Air drying
Light pressing rarely (Haven't done it yet; but I figure once every few months will work)
Goal Month:
December 2011 (since I'm transitioning, I want to give myself some bonus room)
Pic for starting length:
I will asap. I'm not using heat, so I want to provide a good pic!
This is my ultimate hair length goal. The last time I was this length I was in middle-school!!! If I grow my hair longer than MBL, it won't be via an actual goal.
