Speedy Growth Challenge For Transitioners

[songbyrd517]

Hi guys. I know it's not the 7th yet, but I am excited so I have to tell you. I finally got my Surge (geez) and I have my hair braided in pencil-sized individuals. I got them finished on Thursday, March 17. I really like them! I will put pics in another post. I hope they will help me on my way

I hope it's not too late for me because I'd love to join.

My last relaxer was October 31st 2004 and have come to love my natural hair very much. Sometimes i wish i would have transitioned allot sooner, i never know that my own hair texture was so pretty

SPRING REGIMEN:
Shampoo with Castile Soap (Trader Joe's brand) or Creme of Nature twice or more per week. Do protein treatments once every two weeks with LeKeir Cholesteral. Moisturize twice daily with shea butter in the morning and Dark & Lovely's Honey Kissed Hair Dress in the evening, both applied to new growth, Stay-So-Fro on the ends (thanks Chicoro). My protective style will be buns.

SUMMER REGIMEN:
I'll be in braids this entire Summer. If not I will be conditioner washing daily with V05 Freesia (My favorite) and using their Moisture Milks line off and on (Srawberries & Cream, Blueberries & Cream or Peachers & Cream).

WINTER REGIMEN:
Plastic baggie method using Bergamont grease (I kinda like this stuff). Washing my hair less frequently like once per week instead of my regular two or three washes. Will apply jojoba oil or EVOO daily to my new growth.

FAST GROWTH AIDS:
I found that daily conditioner washes made my new growth thrive. I gained lots of growth doing this last Summer.

More frequent trims - not waiting to long (I find that trimming my ends gives my hair a more youthful appearance).

NUTRITION:
Increasing my water and vegetable intake tremendously.

EXERCISE:
I'm going to TRY to walk three to four miles daily.

HEAT USAGE:
0% - I have used heating products for so long that I may never use them again. My hair literally never reatained length because of them. I run when I see the curling iron

Good luck everyone!
