The Challenge is over :(

January 2, 2012, starting stats and goals:

As of March 31, 2012, here is a list of my current stats:

1. Ending Point: 22 months into a 2 year transition. Total length of hair between 9-12 inches
2. Crown Length: 8…

So today is the next to last day of the challenge and I decided to use my freebie and wear my hair out! I couldn’t wait! Earlier in the week I wore this style, ends well protected.…

For the 4 Weeks, I've been on travel non-stop; I have been neglectful in posting my updates for the challenge. Though I have been a full participant, wearing only protective styles and taken pictures to show the style, I haven't been updating like I should have.

For weeks 10 and 11, I wore my hair in…

It’s week 9 of the challenge and I’m still on travel so I’m still rocking my bun…I love it though!It’s full and big and easy; certainly not a style I have to sleep pretty to maintain. Tomorrow I plan to re-moisturize, seal and braid up my hair.  I am really excited about the end of the challenge. Normally, I wear my…

This week, I continued to wear my hair in the "Crown & Glory" style  

We are two months into the challenge. Up to this point, I have:

• Consistently worn protective styles
• Used one of two freebies to wear my hair in a non-protective style
• Retained length 
• Discovered my fine hair can not tolerate elastic headbands that…

Week 7! We are half way through the challenge and I am very happy with the results thus far! Though I can’t say I’ve plotted my growth, I can happily say I am still retaining the hair I do have

After feeling so down and out about the challenge last week, I was lazy in my weekly regimen. Neither myslef nor my daughter deep conditioned this week. I washed both heads with the Keracare Hydrating Detangling Shampoo and Conditioned with the Humecto Creme Conditoner <3!

I believe we get 2 time in the…

Read how I repositioned, Re-moisturized, and accessorized my…

So uh...this is week 3 of the challenge, and I didn't wash, deep condition, and restyle my hair this Sunday :-| Shoot me! Guilty as charged!

Protect Ya Ends" Challenge 2012 ---(PYE) my Loving Hair Challenge. Week 3

Wow week three and I have kept my hair up and protected.  Alright here is my regimen for this week

Products will be listed after paragragh;

I washed my hair with a clarifying shampoo it was about that time I had not used it in about a month so I was giving my hair a thorough cleaning  thereby using more moisturizing and conditioning products My hair soaks…

So this is Week 2 of the Black Girl Long Hair Protect Ya Ends Challenge.

I started, my usual Sunday Beauty day routine. Since I did my clay wash last week, this week's routine was much more simple.

Pre-Poo with Amla Oil, Co-Wash with Cheapy Clarifying Mint Tea Conditioner (I added the…

Ok, so this week has been rough.  Not rough trying to protect my ends, but rough physically.  I've been ill this week (what else is new) and haven't been really motivated to really style my hair but nevertheless, I remembered to stick with the challenge.  

First…

Hi all!

Though I loved the style I wore at earlier this week, it was difficult to maintain without restyling in the morning.

I am so excited for the 2012 'Prtect Ya Ends Challenge. I say this every post, but I recently(12/4/11) chopped the remainder of my relaxed end and I'm so excited. My excitement for this challenge is not about length, but health. I have never been a person facinated with growing my hair.( If I'm in the mood for long hair then I'm okay with adding pieces.) But I have always been obsessed with health. And while I was an expert on keeping my relaxed hair healthy, I'm still learning about this…
