The Rules
1.Take before pictures if you can. This will help chart your progress.
2.Be consistent with the 2 months on two months routine.
3.Revert back to this http://www.growafrohairlong.com, if you are doing your hair the natural way or if you have a relaxer.
4.Make sure that you keep your hair moisturized with braid spray. Avoid using oil based sprays because this can cause build up and it can make it hair to take the braids out. The link http://growafrohairlong.com/braidreg Follow the C&G washing technique when you have the braids in.
5.Do what you think works best for your hair when you wear it in braids.
6.Take your vitamins, drink plenty of water and work out. Let’s think about this as a mind, body and soul experience.
7.Be gentle when you are working around your temple area to avoid balding and thin spots. Sleep in thoughs satin scarves, bonnets or on the satin pillow cases.
8.Remember to be patient when it comes to growing your hair, it takes time to see results. Stay motivated. Lets check in monthly, to keep each other motivated and encouraged with our growth progress.

Happy Hair Growing.

buy the video I did and I braided my own hair....Very easy. Oh! I am already doing crown and glory for 2005...started early December.

 

[MeechUK]

Good idea count me in. This weekend I visited the site and tried the baking soda clarifier and hair brushing technique. I was very impressed with the information and results. I'm up for this challenge.

 

[Growingitlong]

Count me in. Grow and Glory for 2005. It was my plan all along.

 

[AllAboutTheHair]

Now THIS is the challenge I was waiting for, count me in. I am in DSD's supergrowth challenge 2005, also. My current individual braid style comes out January 6. So the next set of braids will be put in around the middle of March. Happy Hair Growing, everyone!

 

[PraiseHim]

Hi everyone, okay I know this may be going over something again, but I need
to make sure that with this crown and glory tech. you can re-touch your hair
in between braidings? I'm interested in the challenge I just want to make sure
Thanks

 

[reformatio]

I got my braids done yesterday so, now I am 'officially' part of the challenge.

 

[Healthb4Length]

@ PraiseHim, you can definately get ur touch-ups doing this method. Robin suggests that if you do, you should wait 2 weeks-2 months after you take out your braids so that your hair does not become structurally damaged. So immediately after you take out braids (like within that week) DON'T RELAX your hair! It will cause damage! Wait 2 months (3 weeks) if you can't wait that long, during the waiting period strenghten your hair by doing deep protein treatments. By doing this your hair will be strong and can withstand the chemicals when you get it relaxed or texturized. Go to robin's site and look under Q & A section for how to take care of relaxed hair.

Thanks Alli77 for the info...count me in as soon as I figure out how to put my own braids in from Robins video..hopefully in the next 2weeks. I pray I'll be able to post some good braiding results

do you pre treat the hair exactly like she says ...my sister said the hair (human) looked bad when i pre treated last time and i need these to last 8 weeks at least

 

[reformatio]

do you pre treat the hair exactly like she says ...

I wondered the same thing. This is what she says on the website "Swish the kanekalon hair around..." She never refers to human hair. I did not wash my human hair extensions. Everything seems fine so far.
