I just realized that I retained about 9 inches of hair in 18 months. That's average but I also trimmed 3-4 inches within that eighteen months for a total of 12 inches. I was six months ahead of schedule. I'm going to see if I can actually average 1 inch per month and this challenge will help keep me on track!

Let me go see if I can find the original thread. ETA: I can't find it. I started too many threads. It's too old. LOL

Good Luck to all.

Dontspeakdefeat did this thread from 2003 to 2004. Lets try this again. Goal? One inch each month.

Do what you have to do. If you dont have the drive and dedication, well... :look:

Feel free to mention what youre doing to achieve this.

It starts June 8 2008 until June 8 2009 (im starting now:look:). Even tho this starts a little after the beginning of the month, lets check in every first of the month. Only pick up the ruler at check in time!

Are YOU ready? I surely am.

Lets go.

Wow you know how to lay down a challenge cieramichele - I'm in!
I plan to continue the my KISS regime:

1. wash/dc every other day
2. henna 1x per month
3. steam treat 1-2 x's per month
4. apply mtg mix nightly
5. bag head nightly
6. seal with castor oil every day

Begining measurements: 6/4/08
front of head edge = 2
crown = 2.5
r. side = 3
r. edge= 1.5
l. side = 2.75
l. edge = 1.5
back = 2
l. back edge = 1.25
r. back edge = 1.75

My routine so far (I probably will have to change it once I get more length and wngs aren't doing it) is to
  • Daily co-Wash
  • Apply generous amount of conditioner
  • Apply my grow oil concoction
  • Apply Shealoe
  • Continuous scalp massages
  • I'm considering adding greens+ to my diet so I can get chlorella and spirulla in my diet. I am a vegetarian
I have to check my starting length again. I used to measure every weekend, but last weekend I noticed I had lost some, so I decided to leave my hair alone. (It was so depressing..I really hope I just grabbed a different section of hair)

Lets use the ruler just this once. . only for the beginning of this challenge. :giggle:

I'm in too. I'm trying to make MBL by November 2008. I'm back at 9.5 on the progress t-shirt (which is BSL on me) since I did a mini trim in May (hated those thin ends).

My plan:
Continue to take my Vits.
Add liquid MSM
Add silk amino
Walk 2 miles 5x/week
DC 3x/week
Protective styling 90%
Eat more protein, fish, veggies and fruit
Green smoothies (already doing this)
Massage scalp daily

I've been thinking and thinking...I'm IN!

I already exercise 5x a week, drink at least 2.5 liters, and eat pretty good.

I plan to continue DCing 1x a week.
Cowash / moisture as needed.
Less Manipulation (ie not picking out the baby Fro as often)
Daily HSN Vit.
growth aids
(No more product testing) :perplexed

This is what has been working for me so far so I'm just going to keep it up and see what happens.

Dontspeakdefeat your results were inspiring to me.

On the Grow and Keeping it Simple
I'm in! 12 inches will be tough, but I will have to do protective styles, bi-weekly deep conditioners, stretch my relaxers to 12 weeks, and will try to consistently use a growth aid.
