Baldy And Twa Grow Out Challenge 2008 Part 2

**hervirtue** · 06-09-2008, 08:19 PM

This is the last month of this year's challenge so for those who will to continue please chime in!!

My routine has definitely changed since the beginning of January 2008. I don't manipulate my hair as much as I use to. Here's my current routine:

1. Co-wash weekly or bi-weekly, shampoo with Qhemet's Wheatgrass Cleansing Tea.

2. DC every time I take my twists down.

3. Re-twist my hair and leave it alone. THAT'S ALL!!!

I'll post a new pic at the beginning of July.

Well since this challenge starts on my b-day and ends a week before my nappy anniversary I guess im in. I havent established a set routine but im going to try and stick with

1.Poo once a week. Baggie with KeraKare all the other days
2. Do a olive/honey treatment once a week. (this is a new addition and im excited to see how it turns out)
3. Continue with daily usage of moe oil. (I call it snake oil since its such a well kept secret)
4. im going to attempt to twist my hair but i always quit halfway through cause my arms get tired.

Im hoping to see some significant growth by the end of the year. I take so much better care of my hair now that im a natural so im super excited about this journey.

BC-Dec 18 2007
4 inches of growth as of june 1st
Short term goal- 5 inches by july 1st
long term goal-bottom of ear by new years

Here's my routine:
1.) Shampoo and condition everyday (love the feeling and smell)
2.) Use Moe's Growth Oil while hair is damp
3.) Use Jamican Castor Oil to seal
4.) Top it off with Moeshealoe
5.) Scarf and out the door.

At night I reapply the growth oil and castor oil and where a satin bonnet to sleep.

how short is your hair? do you ever do twist outs? i am trying to find other ways of wearing my hair other than wraps and scarves

**CurlyGirl327** · 06-11-2008, 10:32 PM

I'd like to join in... correction, I NEED to join in! I have had a TWA for as long as I've been natural, which has been over 5 yrs. In that time, I should have grown hair down past my shoulders, but I've never had a consistent routine, so my length retention has suffered due to breakage and knotting. I haven't set up a concrete routine yet, but I think my routine will be something like the following:

1. Shampoo, deep condition, and detangle to start.
2. Put in small two-strand twists or box braids for at least 4 weeks (optimistic, I know!).
3. Rinse or no-poo daily or every other day.
4. Apply scalp oil and massage scalp for 10 minutes nightly (I think I'll try moe's recipe, since it's so popular).

I hope this works! ^_^

I would like to continue with this challenge my routine is
wash once - twice a week with Shikaki shampoo and conditiner
deep conditon every two weeks with Giovanni Deep Treatment
For styles I wear head wraps or TWA, I have cut down on manipulation.

I'm sure this challenge will never really end. I'm guessing that as our hair grows out past the TWA stage (not really sure what that link is...maybe 5-6 inches) we'll drop out of this challenge and move on the next one. Someone will always be able to carry this thread, it has really helped me and I'm sure that many others have benefited as well.
