I'm going to co wash twice a week (baring no moisture overload) to help me achieve WL 2013. Just bought some Millcreek Botanicals Biotin shampoo.

I was thinking about joining the HYH challenge...but idk if I could stay in protective styles exclusively from July-December.

I like to wear my wash n go's and puffs. However I think i'm gonna wear my hair in twists more often after I finish my EcoStyler gel :grin: it's almost gone too...and just redo them weekly ( i.e. Great Grandma regimen :grin:)

SE you know those are protective styles huh? The challenge is not to show your true length so wash n gos, puffs, twists, braids, etc. all count. Not just wigs.

Yes ma'am! Ms_Coco who started the thread wears primarily puffs and wash n gos herself. I thought about joining again but I just lost interest in it after a while this past session.

Sooo....I just read my first post in this thread...I was almost 6 months post relaxer then.

I am now closing in on 14 months post relaxer.

Time FLIES! and I knew that was gonna happen...which is why I decided to host this challenge bc..idk about y'all...but 2013 feels like it's right around the corner being that we have less than 6 months left in the year :yep:

I like to tell myself that Ive gone from bald to CBL in a year...bc that's basically what I did even though I transitioned...I cut off only what was not relaxed. Anybody else do that? It helps me realize the rate of my growth. :look::grin:

I transitioned for 14 months, cut about 98% of the old curly perm off & retouched my new growth in April. I'm CBL, too.

SmilingElephant, I did the same thing, LOL. I transitioned for 8 months, so I shoulda had 4 inches all around on average...but I over cut in the front of my head, down to 2" :look: So now I have a crazy mullet going on, but Oh well...

ETA, I'm banding my hair to prep for a fro tomorrow, so I'll post length check pics then...

I haven't tried it at night, but with food i did and i got the same result. I'm gonna stick with the gummies for now, but I may try different vits in the future. Thanks for the suggestion :)

So, I've finally straightened my hair again. It's only the 2nd time since the BC and I did 1 pass, so I'm not too worried about heat damage :). Here's my July pic. I plan on doing more roller-sets in the fall so that I can wear my hair in straighter styles, but for the rest of the summer I'll be rockin' the wngs and puffs.

Hang in there , girls!! I am only wearing twists, oil rinsing and using some ayurvedic herbs. I am also taking my hair vitamins.I am trying to hang in there with Co Washing , but I LOVE my shampoo bars and black soap shampoos too much. I think if I keep my hair in twists,take my supplements and keep my hair moist---it WILL grow! BELIEVE :)

There's a WL 2012 too, you will most likely make it in that year. :) You have my dream length hair. :drool:

I forgot I joined myself to this challenge. I always forget to subscribe to the threads. I flat ironed yesterday. I been really baby my ends by sealing them often with castor oil. I posted my flat iron results in a thread and some ppl mentioned my bra is low so BSL for me is actually MBL. I'm take it! I've always wore my bra low. WL is creeping up. I hope I get there by or even before the goal. Good luck ladies!
