LuvOvCandy: September 2011

Its September 1st and I joined the 2 Inches In 2 Months challenge on LHCF (http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=562979). This is the perfect time to do a length check and decide on a new regi. My goal is to be APL (armpit length) by the end of the year. That means growing and retaining 2 1/2 inches. I think its possible.

Here are my length pics:

Past my lips. This is the longest my bangs has ever been!

My left side is almost at 6 inches on the ruler. Theres some breakage there due to constant flatironing. I need to stop!

My right side is reaching 5 inches. Some parts are at 6. Theres a lot more breakage on this side.

The longest part is past 2 on my shirt.

My edges are really bad. : (

Im going to say that I am a little past 2 on my shirt. As you can see, I need growth of 2 1/2 inches for the back to reach APL.

I believe its duable with the following regimen:

Stay in a weave for the rest of the year. Take out after my current install and redo around the beginning of November. Before installing, I will do a deep protein treatment with Aphogee 2 minute Reconstructor.

I will condition every weekend and shampoo every 2 weeks. I will moisturize my hair daily with olive oil moisturizer and S Curl. I'll greese my scalp with Wild Growth Oil with a few drops of peppermint and rosemary oil. Smells bad but will promote growth. I'll seal my ends of the hair left out with castor oil or vasaline. I really have to limit my heat and figure out another way to keep my left out hair straightened.

As far as my diet, I am going to continue drinking tons of water. I'll also watch what I eat and increase my protein. I just ordered Nioxin Intensive Therapy Recharging Complex from Amazon.com and I hope to see some great progress from it.

Products I'll use:
Shampoo: Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Creamy Shampoo
