Hi ladies!
Are you not retaining much length?
Do you suffer from Hands in Hair Syndrome HIHS?
Are you tired of making threats to your hair to act right?
Are you trying to get to a desired length with the maximum amount of your potential retention?
Tried everything from hanging upside down to having a coochie cream scalp?
Well maybe it is time to take a break and weave yourself to Glory!

Weave Rules
1. Install your weave (it can be full or partial/ curly, kinky, or straight; may include a braided perimeter)
2. Shampoo hair at least once every 2 weeks
Instructions on how to shampoo hair while in a weave.
Take an applicator bottle and dilute your shampoo with water. Lift each track and squirt the shampoo under the weave. It will create an almost instant lather, then GENTLY massage your scalp in between the track to loosen dirt, debris, and build up. Rinse.)
3. Moisturize your braided hair at least 2-3x a week
Instructions on how to moisturize hair.
Lightly mist your favorite watery moisturizer or leave in and apply to braided hair or;
Create your own moisturizer by diluting a light conditioner and spritzing your braided hair or;
Use an applicator bottle filled with your preferred moisturizer and apply to braided hair.
Product suggestions include African Royale Braid Spray, Infusium 23, Aphogee Pro-Vitamin Leave In Conditioner, or a mix of part water/conditioner (VO5 or Suave)/ aloe vera juice/ and/or oil.
4. Keep trimming to a bare minimum. You can dust your ends for knots and splits before each installation.
5. Leave your weave in for an appropriate amount of time. Up to two to three months max is ideal. Disclaimer: Trying to push the install beyond four months increases the likelihood of matting and tangles. However, there are members who have done so successfully.
6. Shampoo and Deep Condition your hair after each removal and before each installation.
7. Re-install weave within 1-3 weeks upon removal.
8. Check in regularly, motivate, discuss, and post pictures of your beautiful hair and installs.
9. Post your regimen and staple products!

Wig Rules
1. WIG means any full wig, half wig, full lace wig, or a lace fronts (NOT twists, braided extensions or weaves)
2. Wigs are your protective style of choice (most of the time), but you can take as many breaks as you want - just pull it off whenever.
2. You MUST take care of your hair and scalp underneath (this challenge is about progress, not a styling crutch) our ultimate goal is healthy, long REAL hair!
3. Keep in touch, post photos, ask questions, share advice and let us know how you're doing at least once per month!
Also, WIG CHALLENGE works easily with others challenges -- such as the Bootcamp, Deep Conditioning, Scalp Massage, Hide Your Hair, or Low Manipulation, etc. -- since your hair is safely tucked away from daily wear and tear.

Braid Rules
1. Your hair can be in Marley twist/braids Sengalese twist, Yarn Braids/Genie Locks, Box braids, etc. Any braids that require weave are welcomed.
2. Lightly oil your scalp and spray in water or leave-in conditioner every few days
3. for washing, dilute shampoo with water and apply with a nozzle bottle
4. Wash braids whenever you need to. (twice a week)
