Protective style challenge: start April 1, 2014

This isn’t an April fools joke either, I woke up with morning with the urge to start my protective style challenge a month early. Right now I am currently wearing a twisted bun created by refuser braiding hair. I will wear this style for a complete week until I figure out if I want crochet braids or a sew in. In between styles I will rotate hot oil treatements/protein/ and deep conditioning. In between switching protective styles I will also let my hair rest for one or two days to massage my scalp and enhance hair growth as well.

Hair dye prep 😬😬😬

So I will be protective styling my hair all week until Friday morning. My hair will be completely sealed with oils each entire day. Friday morning I will dye my hair for the last time in my life 😬😬😬 #ammoniafree Ofcourse 💆💆💆💁💁

Bittersweet

So today in my broadcast journalism tv Newcast my professor told me my braids have to go😔. We will be recording live for the university weekly and the clips can be used for my professional reel and the image I want to have in the business needs to be the image I portray in my reel. My image when wanting to get hired in the future will always be my fro so with that being said my 6 month challenge will be postponed until the semester is over. But I still will try to retain one inch a month even without the protective styles.

Six month protective style challenge

Let's see how long this will last. I swear I'm really going to try super hard to keep it up. Starting Wednesday I'll be getting my individual braids back and I'm going to try my hardest to keep then in for two months. The next two following two months will be Marley twists then faux dreads the last two. Massaging my scalp with castor oil every night or every other and applying simplicity hair oil on my edges. I want to try to retain 5-6 inches during the challenge which will end one month before my length challenge ends. Also I will continue to take hairfinity pills religiously. Wish me luck because it's sooooo hard for me to not miss my curls with protective styles. I'm really going to have to fight it.

Natural hair update

My hair is so happy. My new hair routine is amazing and my hair is growing already. The only thing I changed was instead of deep condition for two hours once a week I upped it to twice. 💁💁 come on five inches by July, I know that seems unrealistic but I'm pushing for it.
