i consider my hair to be 4a with fine and coarse strands. also have major shrinkage. i take a multi-vitamin and will be using biotin. i exercise regularly and have good water intake. i plan to wig it most of the time but may do braids. my pre-challenge trim was the first one since May 2014. i think if i can make it to April, i will get past my awkward stage and resist chopping off my hair.

Prettymetty · Dec 26, 2014

I am going to invert for a week without oils once a month during this challenge. Today will be my first inversion and it ends on 1/1

HairPleezeGrow · Dec 26, 2014

So nothing new going on with my hair. I have it cornrowed on the sides (2 on each side) and then flat twisted the rest to have my hair lay down for my wigs. Going to oil my scalp then moisture and seal today.

Pennefeather · Dec 26, 2014

I should be able to do this. Tomorrow is wash day, I will take pix then. I want to keep focused on my goal.

Froreal3 · Dec 26, 2014

I think I'm going to get some MN from Target or something to go w/my sulfur oils and pomades.

Ok. I Have all my info

1. Starting photo attached
