Spring Into Summer Braid & Hydrate | 2025 Challenge

[25InchesStarting'25]

Going to start "LOG" method this week - Liquid, Oil, Gel
Aloe Spray
Argan Oil
Aloe Gel

Don't have a set frequency yet

Will be doing LCO method at least once a week and LOG as needed
Want to make sure ends are getting moisture locked in with a cream base occasionally
Cream on KBs should fine now that I will do a ACV cleanse on braids once a month
If all goes well, will be kept part of the regimen

Making a Coffee Growth Oil infused for +5 Weeks
While waiting for the infusion, will add Coffee to FGS spray
If I get "crazy" growth then I'll keep coffee in FGS spray since I cleanse my scalp daily

Nice, how are you liking daily hydration?

Daily hydration has always been good to me, I just need to stay consistent. With my current workout routine, I'm able to keep it up as I do everything in the shower.

That's awesome! I hope we get accelerated growth this summer with consistency
I admire your consistency with fitness as well

I revised the schedule. I want to leave KBs in for at least 3 months after looking at some other things
This schedule is a lot more practical
Will listen to my hair
If hair needs to be taken down sooner, will follow first schedule
If hair is doing well, will keep to this schedule
Only down side to this schedule is that I'll miss a Length Check and a couple of them will be without my nape to see actual progress, but hair health and progress comes first

Updating 2025 KB Schedule again for a few reasons
Since there is a synergy of growths aids and even more now adding daily Coffee Spray - want to make sure KBs are not left in too long for Nape
I didn't want to miss the June LC for Hip-Tailbone Challenge
Also wanted to have my nape out during the end of the Braid & Hydrate Challenge
I think this is it


Plan to keep hair in KBs all of 2026 and will hopefully reach MBL by the end



2027 and beyond start wearing Buns (Winter), Mini KBs 1x/Year (Summer), and Larger Braids [or Twists?] (Spring) until WHIP

I don't know if it's my imagination, but I'm noticing growth visually without looking for it since starting using the Coffee Growth Spray a few days ago
I've been Water Rinsing my KBs daily for more than 2 weeks now, but it seems like my hair has more noticeable growth since using the Coffee Spray
I use the Coffee Growth Spray, then spray FGS on top

Made Coffee Growth Spray separate from FGS

Coffee Growth Spray is now a staple
