How much growth do you think you will get this summer?

I think im a slow grower so I would be happy with 1.5 to 2 inches by the end date.

Is there anything different about your regimen during the summer that may also contribute to your growth/retention?

Dont think so. I will install kinky twists at the end of June and keep them. But Im in protective styles 98% of the time so dont think this will have a big impact.

What is your current length? How many inches?

Im SL with 6.5 to 7 inches depending on the area.

Do you know your current monthly growth rate?

I think its closer to 1/4 inch

I will do post my starting pic after I henna in the next 2 weeks.

 

[Black Hoya Chick]

I'm in. I want 2-3 inches this summer on my road to a thicker, full WL by the end of the year.


How much growth do you think you will get this summer?

I predict about 3/4 - 1 inch a month

Is there anything different about your regimen during the summer that may also contribute to your growth/retention?

I cowash more often and workout a lot outside, sweating more in the heat. Although I already only drink water, I definitely up my intake in the summer.

What is your current length? How many inches?

I am currently about MBL. Last time I measured, it was between 17-18 inches long from scalp to tip.

Do you know your current monthly growth rate?

I usually get at least 1/2 inch, sometimes more.

I am doing a mini-trim tomorrow night I believe, so my starting pic will be posted then.

 

[lilyofthenile]

How much growth do you think you will get this summer?

I will probably get an inch a month.

Is there anything different about your regimen during the summer that may also contribute to your growth/retention?

I moisturise better because I now know what works. I also use more protective styling and let my scalp breathe. Another thing I'm doing is Valerie's potion challenge and I've seen results from that so hoping to at least get an inch a month.

What is your current length?

How many inches? At the moment my hair is braided but the longest parts are about 9inches, I'm SL full wanting to be APL at the end of this year.

Do you know your current monthly growth rate?

I don't really know. In the Winter it was incredibly slow and I struggled up until March, I still don't get my rate but I hope to say .5 inches.

Good luck everyone! XD

 

[CurlyLawGal]

I'm in! This will be my first challenge

1. How much growth do you think you will get this summer?

**Hopefully, 1-2 inches.**

2. Is there anything different about your regimen during the summer that may also contribute to your growth/retention?

**I co-wash throughout the week and do more protective styling. I also use less heat and drink lots of water.**

3. What is your current length?
**SL**

4. Do you know your current monthly growth rate?

**No. For health reasons, my growth pattern has changed. I stayed the same length most of 2010 due to breakage and health. Now, I should have more growth.**

I wasn't planning to use heat until July, so I will fave to find a creative way to do my starting pic. Any ideas?

Good luck everyone!!!

 

[LuvlyRain3]

faithVA Black Hoya Chick KumakoXsd you have all been added to the list.
CurlyLawGal so glad you decide to make this you first challenge. You can just stretch sections by pulling them down and just seeing where they land.

 

[Evallusion]

Okay. I'll bite!

1. How much growth do you think you will get this summer?

1 1/4 inches for this challenge

2. Is there anything different about your regimen during the summer that may also contribute to your growth/retention?

Nope

3. What is your current length?

NL...trying to get to shoulder length

4. Do you know your current monthly growth rate?

1/3 of an inch a month (I'm a slower grower...could be due to my anemia...taking a multi-vitamin to combat it)


**I'm currently in box braids so I don't have a starting pic for now. But my latest hair pic is in my siggy.**

 

[LuvlyRain3]

Evallusion hey long lost hair buddy!! Welcome to the challenge.

 

[Evallusion]

LuvlyRain3 LOL. Hey and thanks for the welcome. Hoping to be shoulder length by the end of the challenge. **fingers crossed**

 

[CurlsBazillion]

I'm in alot of challenges but they all work together and this is something I was gonna keep my eye on anyway being that Ive never concerned myself with growth rates till now.

How much growth do you think you will get this summer?

I think I can retain 2 1/2 in - 3in by the end of this challenge

Is there anything different about your regimen during the summer that may also contribute to your growth/retention?

I just started cowashing everyday and I'm sure I wont be able to do that as often this winter. I also take Omega 369 and a multivitamin, something I'm just becoming consistent about. (I will add MSM before the challenge ends)

What is your current length? How many inches?

CBL/true SL, 7in

Do you know your current monthly growth rate?
.5 in

 

[LuvlyRain3]

DayDreamist you've been added!

 

[ezina]

How much growth do you think you will get this summer?

With growth aids I get about .4 - .5 inches a month and without them I get about .3 inches, but since it's summer and I intend to stay on the biotin and MT mix, I will be bold and say that I think that I will get .6 inches a month. Therefore, I hope to gain about 2 inches over the summer.

Is there anything different about your regimen during the summer that may also contribute to your growth/retention?

Yes. I have just added Aphogee and Alter Ego into my regimen. I also added iron pills and will consciously eat more iron-rich foods. I've been combating anemia lately and really want to get rid of the excess shedding and breakage ASAP.

What is your current length? How many inches?

I am about a centimeter from touching BSL, but officially I'm still claiming APL. Don't know the inches but will measure as soon as I find tape or a ruler.

Do you know your current monthly growth rate?

See response to first question.

Starting pic:

See attachment. The picture was taken on May 21st, though.

Welcome to the challenge shortdub78!

My hair is layered. My hair's shortest layer in the back is 5" and the longest layer is 6". In the front my hair is an average of 7". I have not figure out how to load pictures on this forum yet but my starting picks are on my blog.

 

[Black Hoya Chick]

LuvlyRain3 thank you =)

But it still seems short to me. Ugh hair anorexia. I'll think its long at WL

 

[princessdi]

Count me in.

How much growth do you think you will get this summer?

I'm hoping I will get over the normal .5 inches per month

Is there anything different about your regimen during the summer that may also contribute to your growth/retention?

Not really.

What is your current length? How many inches?

I'm currently MBL. 13 inches.

Do you know your current monthly growth rate?

.5 inches per month

I haven't seen any difference in growth rates during the summer vs. winter, so I'm curious to test the theory to see if my growth rate is different during any given period.
