WEAVE IT UP CHALLENGE 2013
JANUARY 26,2013-JANUARY2014
OR FOR PEOPLE THAT WANT TO DO IT FOR SIX MONTHS JANUARY 26, 2013 TO JUNE26,2013
Weaving your hair is one of the ultimate protective styles for retaining hair length. Continuing this challenge for those ladies that want to braid it up, then weave it up, and then leave it alone! The benefit of this challenge is to allow your hair to rest while avoiding heat,over-manipulation and overall damage. By leaving your hair alone it has nothing to do but RETAIN LENGTH!
THE RULES:
1.Istall your weave ( it can be full or partial/curly,or straight;may include a braid perimeter)
2.Shampoo hair at least once every 2 weeks
Instructions on how to shampoo hair while in a weave.
Take an applicator bottle and dilute your shampoo with water. Lift each track and squirt the shampoo under the weave. It will create an almost instant lather, then GENTLY massage your scalp in between the track to loosen dirt,debris, and build up.
3.Moisture your braided hair at least 2-3x a week.
Instructions on how to moisturize hair.
Lightly mist your favourite watery moisturizer or leave-in and apply to braid hair or;
Create your own moisturizer by diluting a light conditioner and spritzing your braided hair or;
Use an applicator bottle filled with your preferred moisturzer and apply to braided hair.
[Product suggestions include African Royale Braid spray, Infusium 23, Aphogee Pro-Vitamin Leave In Conditioner, or a mix of water/conditioner. (VO5 or Suave)/ aloe vera juice/and/or oil.
4.Keep trimming to a bare minimum.
You can dust your ends for knots and splits before each installation.
5.Leave your weave in for an appropriate amount of time. Up to two to three months MAX is ideal.
Disclaimer: Trying to push the install beyond four months increases the likelihood of matting and tangles.
However, there are members who have done so successfully.
6. Shampoo and Deep Condition your hair after each removal and before each installation.
Re-install weave within 1-3 weeks upon removal.
8. Check in regularly, motivate,discuss and post pictures of your beautiful hair and installs
9. Post your regimen and staple products!!!
THIS IS A YEAR CHALLENGE; YOU MAY DECREASE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO!
Optional
a starting picture of your own hair.
Required: An ending picture-- preferably comparison pictures of your start and finish.
I will let everyone know to post at the end of the challenge and to share! Everyone should highly encourage to post picture of their installs,new growth,progress,etc.
in order to keep the thread interesting and informative.
