Thanks Ms Miami! I've been see'n pre-poo for the longest and was absolutly confused about it, so thanks for clearing that up. Is it okay to use the WG on ends daily, or is that too much?
How is everyone doing on the challene? I just wanted to say that i updated my fotki! It's a little late, I know, but I've been very busy. I will try to update again sometime this weekend but this was for the end of last month. Tell me what you thinkMy Album!!!
Wow, you are amazing! I wish I knew how to twist, but sadly enough, I can't work with weave at school... they call me " The real dark white chocolate"... Lol
I would like to commend you Beautwitch on your hair and how lovely it looks. The challenging is going well for me also. I 've made a few adaptions to my regime since i posted and i'm still very excited to see the growth over the next couple of months

I know that I am a month and fifteen days late, but I would love to join this challenge. I have been going back and forth about joining, but I wanted to make sure I had a regimine that I liked before I started. Here is what I have come up with:
Pre Poo 1 x week with EVOO/WGHO/ETC
Poo 1 x week with Creme of Nature
Conditioner 2 x week with Mane and Tail adding EVOO
Deep Con 3 x week with ????????? (any suggestions)
Daily Leave In - Cantu Leave in Conditioner
Cut down on heat, Air Dry hair. Roller set nightly. Keep hair wet with Lottabody, diluted
Surge Plus 14 twice a day. Seal with WGO 3 X week
Moisturize daily with ORS Olive Oil or Hawaiian Silky
Moisturize ends with Elasta EQ Mango Butter or Cantu Leave in Conditioner, seal with Hot 6 Oil or WGO
So what do you ladies think? Too much? Please give any suggestions that you have on products. For instance, I am not sure of a Deep Con or a Daily Leave in. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

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.

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.

Hey, every1, I'm just updating on how my hair is doing. well i can say that my hair did get healthier and grew an inch longer. i think the growth came 4rm the co-washes
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!
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.

Hello everyone... I'm new to the site, and I came across this forum. I would like to join this cnallenge. My hair is about 1 inch from shoulder length, so I dont know if i should REALLY be here. I still need some hair growth tips though, so i figure this is as good a place as any to start.
Current Length: 1in from shoulder length
Current hair goal: Bra Strap Length
New Hair Regime (Since June 2006):
-Wash 2x/wk (once with Creme of Nature ultra moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, once with just conditioner)
-Use MTG on scalp & hair every night
-NO HEAT (air dry or use bantu knots when needed)
-Hollywood Beauty Carrot Creme on ends nightly
-Moisterize hair every morning and night
-spritz hair with water/hot 6 oil mixture when needed
-eat lots of fruits & veggies
-use wide tooth comb
-use natural boar bristle brush (i try to minimize use of brush)
note: I have not relaxed my hair since late april/early may. I am trying to streach to about 3mths before re-touching.
Anyone that has any tips for me, please let me know! I need all the help i can get!!! Thanks!!!
