TWA Grow Out Challenge 2010

[RoundEyedGirl504]

I changed my game plan. I was originally going to do braids for several months but I think I am just going to dye my hair and rock my twa, I'm back in love with it now

I am going to dye it tonight, I want like a mahogany color, but my hair is so hard to lift, I am going to check out the selection at the Walgreens. I will post pics of the results.

You guys,do not sleep on rose water to mist your hair with.I spray some from a spray bottle on my hair,moisturize and then do flat twists straight back,or do the front to the middle of my head,then the middle to the back. I take them down in the morning.It takes me no time at all.My hair is cute too. I have been taking all kinds of pics on my phone,but i need to take some w/my camera and upload them.I will before the week is up.
I'm rambling,but you guys should really try it.Cheap and extremely effective!

Thanks thats a great tip, do you flat twist your hair every night?

What do you other ladies do with your hair at night? I just throw a satin bonnet at night but wake up to a matted mess.

I'm currently in braids, but I'm taking them down in a couple weeks so I will post my "starting" pic then. This is a great challenge tho, I'm looking for ways to grow out my TWA.

Finally took down my braids today, my TWA is growing!

First shot is my hair stretched, rest are my puff after a cowash, so its shrunken.

My Reggie:
*No direct heat
*Moisture everyday, either via cowash or my spray bottle mix
*Deep condition at least once a week
*Henna treatment once a month
*Focus on retention using low-manipulation styles (braids, twists, etc).

Thanks thats a great tip, do you flat twist your hair every night?

What do you other ladies do with your hair at night? I just throw a satin bonnet at night but wake up to a matted mess.

No m'am,but it is probably best to do so to keep the coils looking their best. What I do is moisturize at night,tie my hair down lightly with a scarf,and put my bonnet over that. In the morning,i re mist lightly with my rose water spray,fluff my hair up a bit,and fix it however i'm wearing it. I have been parting in the front,loosely twisting back a few inches,and pinning them into place. I fluff the back out and i'm good!

Ok, Sorry I am so late, here are my starting off pictures.

 

[yaya24]

Merry Christmas Eve ladies. Here are my official starting pics for this challenge

Sorry so late! I had to finish up school for the semester and tons of end of the year stuff to do at work so I have been busy. So here goes...

I will be in braids until Feb/Mar (depending on how long I can keep these bad boys in) and after that I will be wigging and half wigging my hair the rest of the time. I may do another set of braids during the summer (that is after graduation in May). I will also cowash 2-3 times a week after the braids (wash once a week while in braids). Will DC at least once a week, take my vitamins as usual, protective style when I get some real growth, and us my MN mix 2-3 times a week.

Starting pics are in my album (12/09 folder) for now. I will upload them as soon as I can because I am having issues with my Internet.

I've been doing good on keeping up with my DCs. Also gonna start taking silica supplements again.

Silica is the business. I get mega growth from taking it.

 

[yaya24]

I am weaved up (plan on staying that way till March). I will apply my moisturizer on my hair underneath and plan on cowashing on Sundays. I will poo/DC once my weave comes out.
