Re: 12 inches in 12 months - 2013
Hello ladies, I hope everyone is doing well. I am so excited because we are almost at the end of the month for check in time. I'm also excited because some of the ladies have already posted update pics and you can definitely see their progress. This is what's so motivating because it spurs us on to continue to stay faithful to our regime, and it's encouraging too because we see that others have had success which means we can have success too.
I'm still on track with my oiling scalp, massaging, inversion, hair supplement, but i slowed down with during my exercising, healthy eating like I mentioned last week, and other supplements. I did finish my 7 day inversion and will not be doing another one until next month. I did another rhassoul clay/butter treatment on Saturday and I think my hair is telling me, it's time for a touchup. I still saw some hair shed and I thought it probably was because it's a new brand of rhassoul clay, but it may be because my hair can't take it anymore and is screaming to be relaxed. Overall the treatment went well. My hair is changing because my newgrowth is so thick. Could it be the rhassoul clay. I'm finding out that my hair does not like alot of products. I detangled before my clay treatment which I normally don't do. I just take down my plaits that have been in for a week, wet my hair and then apply clay/butter. Wrap in plastic wrap, wait 30 minutes, and rinse. Then I comb with wide tooth comb and very little hair would be in my comb. I decided on Saturday to detangle first, using conditioner which soften my new growth, but I had hair fall that was normal I suppose, but i still don't like it. I'm going back to just applying clay to my hair without detangling. I will prepare my hair for my touchup, so Saturday I will cleanse hair using a clarifying shampoo instead of rhassoul clay, followed with aphogee 2 step protein treatment, deep condition etc. I infused some oil with henna using the oven method on Saturday. I kept it on lowest temperature for around 10 hours. It came out very nice. I'm looking forward to all the updates so stay consistent ladies, we are almost there. This challenge is well over half way. Don't give up or quit. If nothing else we will have increased inches, which adds up to more increased inches. So keep focus and keep doing what you're doing, and readjusting if necessary things that we find our hair doesn't respond to. Remember the 3P's from Kimmeytube, Patience, Proper Handing, and Protective styles will get you there, so stay encouraged and motivated!
But do I take them? Nope 
Makes no sense. I will be eliminating that habit.
Doing better with my vitamins. Do so so with my water. Still need to work on my vitamins. Doing yoga every other day.
erplexed The good news: I know what I did wrong and those ends were fried at the time due to a misguided moment of trying to go bone-straight with my relaxer...among other things - live and learn!
