2 Inches In 4 Months Challenge - 2016 (session 3 - Sept Through Dec)

[faithVA]

I'm having a long wash day today. So far I cowashed and followed with an Olaplex treatment. I shampooed and now sitting under the dryer with Komaza protein in. I will rinse in a bit and use the Teraveda Organix Carmeltini for an hour. I will rinse, wash with the mudwash and rinse again. Will use a leave-in, As I Am So Much Moisture, some type of styler and put in flat twist.

I need to color my hair sometime this week but I need to either buy some conditioner or maybe just use the deep conditioner I already have. I will decide mid-week.

I'm going to stick with flat twist until out next length check in 8 weeks.

I've been massaging my edges with the last of my njoy oil. I just want to get rid of all of the oil I have already. I won't repurchase any of them I don't think. My hair feels a little thicker but could be from all the oil building up.

 

[Evolving78]

Imma gonna cowash my hair and moisturize. That's all I got! Lol

 

[LdyKamz]

Prepooing now with the last of the njoy growth oil and conditioner. My hair looks good, full and fluffy with this stuff in it.

Just 7 more weeks to our next length check ladies. I'm hoping for a growth spurt. Maybe I can still get another inch in the next 7 weeks.

 

[THicknLong]

I am so excited for this next length check.. I have been in a sewin for over a month now and plan on taking it down the 3rd week in August.. Only part of my hair that's out are my edges. I have consistently taken my vitamins and exercising. Hopefully I can be full shoulder length by December.

 

[Prettymetty]

I'm excited about our next length check too. I have been leaving my hair alone and enjoying my new wig. It looks like a shoulder length braidout.

Since I can only wash every 2-3 weeks, I have been retaining length like crazy. Fewer wash days means less breakage and less shedding. My hair is finally getting thicker.

I have been trimming a lot, so I'm not expecting much. Just wanna make sure my ends are straight.

 

[Aggie]

If I do a length check next month, it will most likely be a pull check since I don't heat style my hair very often. The next heat style for my hair isn't going to be until October, my birth month. I might consider getting a trim then as well, but not sure yet.

 

[Cattypus1]

I'm excited, too. I'm hoping my mini twists can last. I need to change something either my technique or my products. I'm hoping to get more than a week out of them but I'm looking a little raggedy right now.

If you figure it out let me know. I would love to get more than a week out of my twists.

I'll keep you posted.

Prepooing with Aloe Vera Juice/WGO/Biolage Conditioning Balm Combo.
Shampooing with Macadamia Natural Oil Weightless Moisture Shampoo
Deep Conditioning with Naturelle Grow Marshmallow Protein and Moisture Conditioners.
Leave in - Naturelle Grow Soft & Silky Leave-in conditioner.

Sealing with CRN Coconut Water Style Setter/Hemp Oil Combo (I whipped these two together and added some glycerin and it is perfect for my hair now). Before, it was just too thick. The Style Setter is probably not going on my repurchase list because it didn't wow me, well not yet anyway.

 

[LdyKamz]

I'm hoping I've made some progress next month.

I recently went on a trip to Texas for school. Annndddd it was great! I love the Dallas/Arlington area and I really enjoyed my whole trip. Now about my hair: I normally wash my hair 2x times a week(wed and sat/sun). My flight for Dallas was on Thursday, so I end up doing my hair super late and my flat twist wasn't dry by the morning. So by the time I got to my aunt's house in Dallas,my hair was ultra dry mess. I had to m&s all over again. I co-washed on Saturday and did my usually flat twists. Fast-forward to now: I had to do my Saturday hair routine between Monday and Sunday due to a paper being due on sunday. So my flat is still under my bonnet in flat twist that I'll take out for a flat twist tomorrow. I also plan to get my hair cut in August before I install some box braids. I want her to cut of about 1 1/2 in to help get rid of my damaged ends.

Day 3 of my inversions completed with a 2 minute scalp massage.

 

[Aggie]

Completed 4 days of my inversions for July - no scalp massage

 

[LdyKamz]

Completed 4 days of my inversions for July - no scalp massage

Is it working?

 

[Aggie]

Are they working?

Let's just say that this is the best progress I have personally had since the start of my hair journey. I'd say they work but they work better after a 2-3 minute scalp massage. The problem is with that is I'm usually too tired and sleepy to do the massages.
