OFFICIAL SL 2009 HAIR CHALLENGE.........

Im in as well.. will be in half wigs until the year is out.. moisurizing and sealing 2x daily and co washing 2 to 3 times a week.. hoepfully I will be sl by december.
 
I'm in too. I think I made it but I'll probably need until August to get me to the full SL I really want. I'll still do an end of June length check.

Keisha: No problem. I am bad at blow drying also. I am always on YT trying to find a better technique.
 
yes i am willing to go another round of six months. i should be there by the end of the summer. i am going to be rollersetting my hair and doing my little ponytail.
 
Here's my update. After two haircuts since january I think I made SL. Im definitely not full SL yet. Hopefully i'll be there by december. The last pic is my starting pic.

What have I learned:
-Patience is the key to healthy hair
-Salon visits are a no no
-My hair loves natural products (AOHSR, Giovanni, Shea Butter, honey, oils (vatika, olive, and coconut)
-Herbal Essence conditioners are great for natural 4a/b's who would like to co-wash or just detangle
- a little goes a long way

and there you have it..for the next six months i plan to take better care of my ends..continue the henna treatments learn to trim my own ends.. I haven't had a trim six december and I know i'm in need of one badly..but here's to the first six months..and here's to another six months.....
 
I'm in for another 6 months. I don't know if I'll be SL by december...I'm thinking of cutting the relaxed ends in December.
 
Here's my June update. I took the pic on 06.09.09. I've made about 0 progress in my nape from April and still need 1 inch to be full SL. The only good news is that my puff looks fuller :afro: and my bangs are beyond my chin.

I just wanted to drop in and say congratulations to the ladies that hit SL and keep it up to the ones who haven't. It can be done. :)

You growth is great you are already full SL and hitting closer to AL(IMO)
 
i am so glad i got my hair cornrowed. i am going to keep this up for a couple of weeks and then i am going to have my SIL braid it for me again. i am going to start paying her too. she did it for free after she got off of work this past evening. thank God she came though, because i was going to go crazy. i feel so much better now.

congrats to everyone that made it.
