Set your hair growth goal and write it on a notecard. Tape this card to your mirror and review it at least once a day.

Having a clear goal will give your direction and a great starting point to compare your final results to.

Photo Treatments

What is a photo treatment btw?

A photo treatment - taking photos to examine and appreciate the look, beauty, and condition of your hair.

I became a HUGE believer of photo treatments after my last hair loss experience. As I trimmed and cut off all dead and damaged ends, I started wet and dry detangling with my fingers. My hair came out even more when using any other method. I was so upset about the hair loss because I didn’t really want to cut my hair off again and start over.

Using the techniques in this book helped me get through the difficult days with some effective techniques I still use today (smoothing is the bomb!). Plus, her detangling method stopped my hair from coming out in clumps.

See photos of it (and read my review) here: (The Grow It! Book Review)

To enhance your current detangling practice, watch Chicoro’s Finger Dry Detangle Process. 

 

Let’s review!

  • Finish this sentence: At the end of this challenge, I want my hair to be…
  • Based on your answer, create your hair goal for our Winter Challenge, and post it on your mirror.
  • Don’t forget to take at least 1 hair selfie each week during the challenge! Keeping a photo diary of your progress, is one of the simplest measurements you can use to review the overall growth and health of your hair.
    • It may also save you a ‘trim to much’ off your ends. Next time you want a trim, take a few photos first, sleep on it, and look at them in the morning. I guarantee you, you’ll change your mind! If you are prone to scissor happiness like this naturalista — it can easily save you an inch and a tear or two!
  • Post your weekly update by Sunday each week to be entered in our monthly giveaways.

 

Since this is our first week, I’ll be back to check on you in a couple of days.  If you need to reach me before then, post your request in the comments section. During our challenge, consider it our ‘classroom!’ 

 

Grow Lavishly:)

    Greetings Ladies, I am happy about this challenge. This is the beginning of something big …healthier me, healthier hair, and healthier life style. I am a DIY chick and am so excited about the Luscious Hair Challenge Recipes. At the end of this challenge, I want my hair to be thicker, bigger, healthier, and longer. My hair is below my shoulder on the sides and is almost at the top of my bras strap in the back. I wore locs for 15 years and last July, I decided to pick them out which took 4 long pain stalking oh patience months. So November 2013, I began my “loose” natural journey, which I love. I usually wear my hair in two strand twist. My hair regiment consists of
    - ACV rinse
    - DIY DC with mayo, eggs, honey and EVOO
    - Wash with Rhassoul Clay mix (Thank you Naptural85!); once or twice every week
    - Moisturizing my hair as needed with spray bottle with water, combination of oils and DIY shea butter with coconut oil
    - Sometimes black tea rinse and aloe vera juice rinse
    My goals are to grow my hair 5” and retain it; pamper edges and end and take hair supplements.

    Hi Erica, Yes Naptural85 has a great mixture of Rhassoul clay wash. I took these pictures on this pass Saturday. My hair was tucked in a big rubber band. Thank you so much for having this challenge.

    • ericakking

      OMG Zelphia, your hair is BEAUTIFUL — gorgeous twist out!!!

      I still can’t get your locs off my mind! I didn’t know you could pick them out at all, I thought they had to be cut out. I’ve always wanted to start some…2015 may be the year:)

      You are SO Welcome, Thank YOU for being here!
