TWA Growth Challenge
by MellowOne 20th April 2010, 12:56 am
Ok TWA Ladies we have a challenge! Answer the following questions and then in six months we will see how long our TWA's have grown. So the challenge date will be from May 1-Nov 1.
1. Starting stats (Length and Hair Type)
2. Starting Picture
3. Products
4. Regimen
5. Hair Goals
6. BC date (pic if you have one)
We can post updates every month or everyday on how we are doing. Pictures could be posted every month or at the end of the challenge if you choose (If you have a style you would like to share of course post). Since we are doing 6 months the weather may change for some of us so we can update our regimen at that time if it changes.
The question has been raised of what legnth does your hair have to be in order to be considered a TWA. I think it is fair to say 1-4 inches is a TWA. Of course some of us are new bc'ers and some of us are pushing 4 inches already. Its OK [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] join in. The goal of this challenge is for us to support each other find new styles and products and enjoy our TWA's.
Sometimes you may not be feeling great are as confident about your TWA, post your feelings and why you feel that way. We all at some point probably feel that way and can help each other get through it.
If you feeling fabulous, post it and why. Maybe it will help someone else feel fly [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] .

Hm, this will go nicely with the castor oil challenge I'm in. Especially since Gypsy (my hair) dragged me to get a trim and a shape-up (which she DID need). Count me in.

Will post my stats on May 1st, hopefully I can prepare my routine and stick with it. I turned into a PJ, but I've been doing my research and hopefully find my staple. I am so excited to about this challenge. I really do not see alot of post about TWA's so I am excited to be a part of it.
Thanks Ladies!
