4. Take multivitamin daily (check)

The only problem I had was a nutritional one. I eat fairly large meals and take naps so by the time I wake up, I am either still full, or its the next day lol. The good news is I have been taking my vitamins so I am always squared away in the nutrient department.

wow January has flew by sooo fast!!

Giving it a try!

So, as you know I am doing an aggressive hair growth challenge to grow to BSL and there has been and will be many days where I just sit in the house and do nothing, but study for my state boards exam and play around on the computer. I have now added an additional hair growth technique that I don't believe will hurt the process in anyway so why not try it. It is the GHE, green house affect. While I lounge around the house I can keep my hair moisturized, so currently I have on a plastic cap and 2 bonnets. I slept like this over night woke up with moist hair, took them off and let it dry a bit throughout the day. Now that I am back in bed and don't plan on doing much today I put all 3 head garments right back on. This could be the norm for me from now on since I have not landed the nursing job that I so desperately seek. I have all the time in the world to GHE.

Currently doing an experiment!!!

So, as you know I am in the middle of an aggressive BSL challenge, taking biotin, a multivitamin, doing castor oil scalp massages, the inversion method, and almond oil hot oil treatments. To help keep up with the progress I have decided to braid a portion of my hair and will not upbraid it by any means. The purpose of this is to measure how much growth I get in a month.

My 2nd wig in rotation for 4 months!

Yasmine!

My Wash Day!

Today was wash day.... and here is what I did and what I used!

1. I sectioned my hair into 2 halves down the middle and applied 100% almond oil on roots and tips, and finger detangled.
2. Applied more almond oil to saturate then sat under the hood dryer on high for 5 minutes
3. Once finished I applied my deep conditioner from creme of nature saturated my hair with it and sat under the dryer for another 5 minutes.
4. Got in shower to rinse and detangled (hair felt like butter).
5. Applied my creme of nature shampoo only on roots and messaged my scalp twice on each side (hair still divided in half down the middle).
6. towel dried for 5 minutes
7. Applied my aphogee leave in keratin spray
8. Applied my tresemme heat protectant and blew dried my roots (learning that I loose less hair when my roots are stretched)
9. Applied my elasta QP mango butter moisturizer, and sealed with 100% almond oil
10. Parted my leave out and braided my 2 sections in to pigtails to which I cross wrapped the ends and pinned them on the sides of my head.
11. Applied my wig cap and wig Yasmine by outre (3 weeks I plan on wearing her before I switch)

Then I hit the Streets!!!!

Update on wig challenge!

I have become super aggressive when it comes to hair growth. I am tried of being at the same length and want to grow past my plateaued length. So, in addition to my 3 month wig challenge I will incorporate growth aids and strategies.

 

1. Message scalp with castor oil daily(mini castor oil challenge for 3 months)
2. Inversion method after castor oil message (mini inversion method challenge for 3 months)
3. Hot oil treatment with Almond oil (mini weekly hot oil treatment challenge for 3 months)
4. Take 10,000 mcg of biotin daily, with routine multivitamin ( mini biotin challenge for 3 months)
5. Drink drink drink water daily (helps with the biotin, and stay hydrated from the inside)

 See you guys in April with BSL hair!

3. Deep condition 2 x a week
4. Use shampoo once a month/ cowash for the other 3 weeks 
5. Rotate wigs every 3 weeks! 

Team BSL by April!

4 month wig challenge

I have 5 wigs and I will be rotating them! It is winter and yes, I have plateaued in growth and its time to grow passed this length so, here is the plan:

Primary goal = Grow to BSL in 4 months! (Line #12)

1. Maintain 4 plaits in my hair under wigs
2. Wash and deep condition every week in 4 plaits
3. Moisturize and seal nightly
4. Do not trim,  Do not relax hair
5. Only unravel and re-braid  if needed
6. Air dry and use hood dryer to dry braids after washes

That's it. It will be simple and I will not fuss with my hair. This will be great for me because I will get to not see my hair for a period of time and when the 4 months are up I will reveal my hair with a fresh relaxer and flat iron... and that's all she wrote. 

December goals update!!

December Goals

• Drink more water, eat 3 meals a day   (fail)
• Cowash hair 2 x a week until the end  of this month Shampoo free!! (fail)
• No heat/ No trim/ No relaxing hair (Fail)
• Bun or wig  (check)

SO, I failed everything this month but I had good reasons to. First, drinking and eating I have been very busy and pretty much eat on the go. so I wont count it as a full 3 meals a day. Second, I relaxed my hair so needed to shampoo but before then my scalp was itchy and I love the Aphogee shampoo had to finish the bottle. Third, I relaxed my hair at 9 weeks (I can not stretch hair is just to thick) , and I dusted my ends. I felt that my hair is not growing at the rate I want and i am doing everything but trim the ends so I took snips off with no regrets, and I like my hair better when the roots are stretched so I blew dry like twice on low heat.

My January Goals will be reached!!!!!
