Hey everyone I am definetly new but non- the- less I would still like to par-take in this challenge. I guess we're are running for the end of this year DEC 2006, that would be for a normal person around 2 1/2 inches. That's great, today is my B-day and I am up for a bit of a challenge. My hair type I guess is 4a/b and the length of my hair on average is about 3-4 inches. It's a bit uneven because I had to cut it due to a lot of breakage, and after doing so much research I have finally found out that black folks can have long healthy hair too.
My regimen:
*Wash hair with moisturizing shampoo every 3 days
*Deep condition with protein conditioner every 3 days (under hooddryer)
*Moisturize daily(everyday)
*Dont use grease (petrolium)
*Dont use any other heat appliance (only special occasions)
*Use wide tooth comb only
*Dont use brushes
*Wrap my hair in silk/satin scarf or sleep on silk/satin pillow case
*Never use gels with alcohol only protein gels
*Never use any products with alcohol as their first couple ingredients
*Message my scalp daily
*Stick to the same brand relaxer
*Use only one type of relaxer (lye, no-lye)
*Never again will I double-process my hair (permanent color, perm, relaxer, etc)
*Wait 7-9 weeks or longer before next relaxer
That's about it. I cut my hair April and since then my hair has grown about 1 1/2 inches. Exactly on point, that's why I got new hope for my hair. My methods are helpful to my hair type for anyone else it may be another method keep that in mind. But one thing that has definetly changed my hairs feeling is deep conditioning it. If there's one advise I must share with everyone it would be to deep condition.
Thank you ladies for the nice compliments. It's been a while since I've been up here. Welcome to the new ladies and wish you luck!! I blow dried my hair to put braids in and I must say I'm please with the length. I didn't measure though because I don't want to be dissapointed. I'm touching shoulder when stretched but I have about an inch of bad ends I need to get rid of. So, I'm not making it official until it's healthy and at shoulder length. I'm hoping around some time around September. Wish me luck!

You should be able to its a very popular brand, anyways I'm in Jamaica and its all over the place. Check Sally's that's where I buy my stuff when in the U.S. , Jamaica imports 'white rain' from Florida so you should be able to find it at most drugs or beauty supply stores. If you can't find it and you really want it you can always buy online.

Welcome to the challenge brownie29 and chanelle#5 , oh and chanelle, when I'm not in braids I do my deep conditions with eggs and a plastic cap, I'd do it like once a week cause I don't want to protein overload my hair, anyway that's what I do.(It's a little messy but I like natural stuff), then I do a little shampoo rinse and lots and lots of a wonderful smelling conditioner like white rain or Vo5 all over my hair, my hair comes out like silk.I also use my daily leave in like you're doing. Sorry I can't suggest any products I'm not really a product junkie I like to make stuff for my hair and my skin from my kitchen, for instance before I wash I spray a ginger solution I make, on my scalp to stimulate blood circulation to my hair follicles.

Pre-Poo treatments are: puting oils on the hair BEFORE shampooing the hair. This can be left on over night or for 30 min to an hour before washing. Its supposed to hold moisture in the hair so when you shampoo the hair doesnt get dried out. I use wgho for my pre-poo treatments and also use wgho 2/3 times a week
Hey yall, I joined the Challenge on May 13th, a month and a day late, but I'm still pretty excited. I'm actually past my shoulders now (achieved around September 2005) and trying for the bra-strap. I just needed some support so I figured I'd join in on ya'lls group.
My regimine
Wash and condition once a week
Add WGHO every other day
Use Surge Hair Revitalizer Plus 14 Daily
Use Pantene Pro-V Oil cream moisturizer Daily
Moisturize hair with Infusiom 23 (in the brown bottle)
Tie up hair in "growth cap" each night
Drink plenty of water
Does any one know what Pre-poo means?
