Summer Growth Spurt Challenge!!!

[NewHairWOWeave]

STARTING PIC IS MY SIGGY

 

[faithVA]

I forgot to take a picture before twisting my hair up yesterday. I need an extension on the starting pic until next weekend. With my length and my shrinkage pics are complicated But I will get it done.

 

[tasha7239]

I would like in if it's not too late. My internet at work is down, so I will be back later with my starting pic and info.

ETA: Here is my starting pics ( wet and dry hair - curls fell). I hope to be to the top of my brastrap by the end of the challenge. I have normal growth rate so that means I'll need about three inches . I will continue to bun and up my water and start my Nioxin.

I would like to join this challenge. Im new to LHCF and here to learn! Here is my starting pic, ends are slightly curled so I guess this is considered SL. I haven't actually measured the length yet. And I don't know what my average growth is. I will answer any questions I missed when I get to my laptop.

 

[bunnie82]

hi!!! include me please!!!

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

hmmm...i dunno....i'll be satisfied with 1/2 in.

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

I will be using a megatek aloevera mix (just for kicks bc the ish don't work for me...)
I will also be doing scalp massages....

What is your current length? How many inches?

i am whatever is before apl....not sure what that is though lol

Do you know your current monthly growth rate?

slow...

Add me!!! Starting pic is in my siggy. just got a touchup and trim. It's about 60% air dried. Hope I get a growth spurt! Need 3.5in for WL!

How much growth do you think you will get this summer?
I've never measured summer versus winter growth but I guess now is a great time since I just got a blunt trim last week. So I'll just say I expect more than .5in

Is there anything different about your regimen during the summer.
I will cowash more often since the weather is warmer. Other than that ill still wear protective styles. Buns, cornrows, etc.

What is your current length? How many inches?
Since this trim, I'm at the bottom on my bra strap. I don't know the inches.

Current monthly growth rate?
About average I guess.

Thanks for the welcome. Here are my answers

I hope I will get at least 2 inches this summer.

Still working on my regimen, but I don't see any major changes this summer. I am drinking more water and may add a supplement soon.

What is your current length? How many inches?

Just at SL. Need to actual measure the inches.

Do you know your current monthly growth rate?

I have no idea.

My regimen will include

Washing once a week w/ monoi shampoo and conditioner

Using:
Cantu Shea Butter leave in conditioner, healthy hair butter, and organic coconut oil on daily basis

Not really measurin my hair but pulled my it a little while installin kinky twists and I swear it hasnt moved since I measured it in April Tryin to keep the twists in until the end of July. I will trim between the end of July or 1st of September.

 

[Black Hoya Chick]

drinking lots of water and doing (almost daily usually) cowashes. and amla treatments. thats it.

 

[LuvlyRain3]

OMG OMG how is It that I suck at keeping up on my own challenges

Here are my starting pics which I took on my bday/nappiversary which was June 23. Sorry ladies I have just been extremely busy (ignore those ugly tan lines too oh and the 3am face lol)

 

[LuvlyRain3]

Oh but glad to see you ladies are doing well. I'm holding pretty steady with my water intake. Been going for runs/walks to help improve my asthma. Hope It helps with my hair too.

 

[LuvlyRain3]

Bump!!!!!!!

 

[jprayze]

Hi all, just checkin in again. My last PS - sew-in with micros around the perimeter didn't go as well as I thought. The wet n wavy weave kept getting frizzy and tangled and I wish that the micros had been braided further down. Anyway, I'm taking them it this wknd, so hopefully I can post some pics this wknd and maybe we'll see some progress...

 

[Evallusion]

I'm out of those box braids and I have been wiggin' it for a month. I plan on wiggin' it all summer actually. My natural hair is cornrowed straight back underneath. Ive been using miss jessie's baby buttercreme and I am really lovin it. It gave me the cutest twistout too. So yeah, thats it for now.

Not much going on over here. Focusing on getting my hair healthy but don't see any type of growth spurt going on. I have trimmed once so far and will hold off on my next trim until the end of September after the challenge ends.

Hope others are seeing more progress.

 

[sapphire18]

So far my hair has grown 1" in the back. I trimmed a lot so I am happy with my progress. I have photos and details on my blog.
