I want to join but I am not due for a trim until the end of November. I have a photo shoot 11/15 and didn't want to trim until after the shoot, can I still join if I don't cut again until my next trim in May?

I will like to join.

Whats your ultimate hair goal? (or if you just want to grow your hair out)
My ultimate hair goal would be (toss up) full waist length or tailbone length.

How will you keep your hair healthy your reggie doc scalp care etc?
I will continue to wash and dc weekly. I will steam on wash days as well. Moisturize and seal faithfully.

What styles will you wear?
Roller setting my hair will be one way I will try to keep my hair manageable during this 9 month stretch. Or I might just get box braids or senegalese twist. Idk

I'll join you!! After my second BC, I aimed to not cut my hair for the next 6 years :look: . I was inspired by the Indian Youtuber in the second video!!! Her hair is absolutely amazing :drool: !!! It's amazing how good her hair looks after a lifetime of wear and tear. Maybe once I make it 6 years, I'll be brave enough to never cut my hair ever again :lol:.


Whats your ultimate hair goal? (or if you just want to grow your hair out)
Classic/ Booty length stretched; APL curly (yeah I'm dreaming :lachen:)

How will you keep your hair healthy your reggie doc scalp care etc?
Right now I'm in the TWA phase, so it's going to just be a basic shampoo and conditioner regimen. I'm doing a 30 day daily shampoo and condish challenge at the moment :yep: .
When my hair gets longer, I'll be adding CO hot oil treatments weekly and washing every 3 days to once a week.

What styles will you wear?
Wash n'gos
When I get a bit of length, I'll be throwing a few braid n'curls and braidouts in the mix.

THanks for adding me! I need a trim and will try to do it before the deadline.

Whats your ultimate hair goal?
My hair is past waist length. If I cut it then I'll probably be around MBL so my goal would be past waist length again.

How will you keep your hair healthy your reggie doc scalp care etc?
No more blow drying my hair!!! Rollersets through the winter and my hair up in a bun or ponytail. I will deep condition once a week and do oil treatments at least every 4-6 weeks.

What styles will you wear?
I do like my hair down once in a while. In the fall/winter I will most likely wear it up in a ponytail.

Yes dusting s&d razor cuts any form of cutting your hair is prohibited during this challenge
That's why I encourage everyone to trim the damage right before joining

Well I'm used to mega challenges I'm on HL TL challenge so 6 months is not that long and you can do this
relaxed hair shouldn't stop you in fact you could retain more growth cause this challenge focuses on being good to your hair but especially to those ends.
Make sure to look at the videos posted in original post. HHG

I want to join...buttttt, does no S&D mean that if you run across a SSK you can't cut it?
charmtreese

That's right no cutting at all no scissors at all no dusting no s&d just slap some conditioner or oil on it lol or you could just trim or s&d now before starting

It will be difficult at first for me as well but just ignore it and once the challenge is done you may not need to cut as much as you think. That's what I'm hoping I can fast off cutting when unnecessary. HHG btw way check out my blog post scissor happy stylists.

Thanks for the tag. I'll join. My last cut was in July so I'll do some dusting before Nov 1st.

Whats your ultimate hair goal? (or if you just want to grow your hair out)

Full waist length curly

How will you keep your hair healthy your reggie do scalp care etc?

I'm not sure yet. I'm in a transitional point. As of last month I started using terressentials and Naptural85's shea butter mixes. I liked it but now I'm experimenting with this MHM. Yesterday was Day 1 and I'm on Day 2 step 1 as I type. I'm going to give it the 7 days and if I like it stick with it. If not I'll go back to using shea butter instead.

What styles will you wear?

Wash and gos, braidouts, twist outs, buns, braids, and maybe "mini" twists if I feel up to it.

If we are being honest here, Classic Length :blush:

How will you keep your hair healthy your reggie doc scalp care etc?
Keep it covered 99 percent of the time. Moisturize daily.

What styles will you wear?
2 strand twists, or medium box braids (no added hair)

I haven't had my hair cut since my wife trimmed off most of the last of my colored ends October 2013. Yes I have minor split ends, but I keep my ends healthy and choose not to cut. For personal/spiritual reasons. My hair is apart of me, if not, it would not hurt when we plucked one. Just because we are cutting it lower down the shaft does not mean damage is not done. There are safer more meaningful ways to tame your ends. Burning is an option. A slight singe is safer than a cut. I can go longer than 6 months. I have intentions on singing my ends when I get around waist length, then again if it does get longer to start evening out my natural layers for a full length. Other than that I see no need to touch my hair with sharp objects #TeamNoScissors ride or die

I'm going to take it one month at a time!
My ultimate goal is WL
I will keep it protected and don't use heat. I will look into heavy sealing, but only on wash day. I wash and dc twice week.
I will wear buns, and twists under wigs.

:yep: For clarification Lucia, we can't do "Notice & Destroys"? I'm too lazy for S&D's :look: However, when I notice something, I try to nip it in the bud.
MileHighDiva Notice and destroy? What's that ? I'm a little out of the loop :lol:
I know it's a hardcore challenge If you must trim do it before you start.
