Hey Everybody! I started a 100-Day Hair Challenge on December 17 2008. It will end on March 27, 2009.My hair is currently in really small twists done on my natural hair with nothing added. You can click on the picture for a larger view. I'm so happy with the length I've achieved in the past year. This is about two years of new growth. Think I can double this length in another two years? Anyway, on to my hair challenge. This was inspired by Black Onyx on Fotki/Youtube. My rules are a little different though.
Hair Challenge Commandments
- Thou shalt not comb or brush thy hair more than once a week. (combing is not the same as styling.)
- Thou shalt keep thy hair in protective styles at all times.(Protective styles are styles that require no combing and/or do not touch your neck. I'll talk more about this in a future post.)
- Thou shalt not use heat on thy hair.
- Thou shalt not dye thy hair.
- Thou shalt deep condition thy hair regularly.
- Thou shalt moisturize everyday.
- Thou shalt spray Leave-in on ends once per week. (I advise doing this after a wash)
- Thou shalt cover thy hair with a satin scarf every night to keep the moisture locked in.
- Thou shalt eat as healthily as possible and drink 8 glasses of water per day.
- Thou shalt love thy hair enough to take the time out to keep it healthy and beautiful.
Well for one, I don't want to have to untangle my hair all the time. For two, well, see one. I guess it would be nice to get a lot more length from it as a bonus. I'm heading back to the US soon and I really want to protect my hair from the cold. I decided I'm not ready for locs yet so I'm just trying to stay out of my hair as much as possible while keeping it healthy (and kinky).
Will You Join Me??
I'd love some company. Let me know if you're interested in joining my challenge - even if just for a little while. I'd love to see how you all do too.
Keep It Kinky
Happy Holidays!
