Hair Length (Week 1 in Hair Challenge)

Here are some hair measurments that i just took. I should have dont this before i styled my hair, but they are pretty accurate. I am going to be checking my length like about every 2 weeks, depending on the style......and then at then end of the challenge i will be checking to see how much growth i was able to retain....

Measurments : ( i measured with hair in twist)

Leftside Back: 7 inches

Rightside Back: 7.5 inches

Middle: 9.5 inches

Front: 8.5 inches

It says that he hair grows half an inch every month so if i am doing this challenge for two months, these should my ending results........

Leftside Back: 8 inches

Rightside Back: 8.5 inches

Middle: 10.5 inches

Front: 9.5 inches

Challenge Relapse lol Day 2

Hey,
So i almost relapsed this morning lol. I was trying to figure out a style that would last longer than the twist in my hair. Then i thought, i can do the hait style i have now but with corn rows and braids. So as i was about to take my hair out i stopped myself and said "nope, dont do it. try to keep it in for at least a week then switch it up.

Another thing that i want to try to switch up the challenge a little bit is to massage thge scalp as a part of my nightly routine.Oh, and when your head is itching to use the ball of your finger tips and gently rub the part of yor head that is itching. i heared that this will make a big difference!

I am trying so hard not to play in my hair lol.....this is turning out to really be a challenge. But i know that this will help my hair in the long run.Good luck to all, stay blessed and remember,

Keep it Natural, Keep it Beautiful...

Hair Challenge 10-26-2009---12-26-2009

Hey ladies, today is day 1 of the hair challenge. So my hairstyle for the week is flat twist on top with 2 strand twist in the back. Now this is really going to be a challenge for me beacsue i love messing in my hair, which is one of the reasons i did not do extensions as a protective style.And becasue there bigger twist i may need to redo them this week. Oh, before i forget i need to go out and buy accesories, for my hair..... i am more of an accesorie junkie than annything else....lol

Sanai's Protective Hairstyle

Sanai is my oldest baby girl. I am also doing her hair in protective styles, she is in school and it makes is easier for us to get through the morning..
what i dd was mix some conditioner with olove oil and honey, seperated her hair into four sections and applied the mixture. I let this sit for an half hour then washed it out. it left her hair well moisturized and shinny. I love it!!!! After it made it easy to comb out and detangle. As you can see i put her hair in pony tail twist and beaded the ends. This will last about a week, untill next sunday when we do it again.....

Keep it Natural, Keep it beautiful!!

2 Month Natural Hair Challenge

Hey ladies. I live in new england aka connecticut and for those of you who know, the winter here is freezing cold. So i love waering my hair out, but i realize that i have to protect my ends which is why i am looking for protective hairstyles. I stumbled across this Hair Challenge that last about 2 months.....Natralbells ( youtube channel name) laid out the rules, so i decided to take up the challenge and to document my process and progree hair.

if u wanna watch the video this is her link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8OZ0yzRBqM&feature=related

Here were her rules....
1. Proctective styling- the whole challenge your hair is to be in protective styles
2. Water, water, water.....drink at minimum 32 oz. a day
3. Moisturize your ends daily
4. No heat/ or low heat ( if u use heat at least once a month)
5. Stick to your routine/ stick to your products ( swithcing can cause your hair to be confused and cause tension)

Some changes i am adding to this challenge is to massage your hair nightly/daily wich ever fits your schedule best, and to rub scalp instead of scrathing, and to take a vitamin, prenatals preferably.

Remember Keep it Natural, Keep it Beautiful...!
