Happy hair growth!

I'm in but I don't have any pics right now- I plan on doing some kinky twists within the next two weeks which will make it easier for me to get to my scalp better.
I'm still transitioning but my measurements for NG are side: 4.5 inches, back: 3.5 inches, top 3.5-4 inches. Happy growing! :-)
I'll be using Castor Oil (Home Health brand), sweet almond oil, and tea tree oil on my scalp.

Sounds GREAT Thinice!!!! Til the end of winter huh?? I wonder if I can do it that long!!! i don't see why!!! Thanks for posting!
And @ Yacoomba, that's cool. Just post pics when you can!!! and Happy Growing to us all!!!

I would like to join....... I just started using castor oil last week so great! I can't wait to see the results!

quick question what type of castrol oil are you using: the oil or grease?

@ rvalent2--NO!!!! NOT the grease. That more than likely has mineral oil in it!!!!! Use just regular, straight up castor oil. The real natural kind. I think some people are using that Jamaican Black Castor Oil, but I am using the regular kind.

oh thank you for responding. I'll go and look for your suggestion. Thanks!

No problem. It's just that mineral oil can clog the pores and inhibit growth which is defeating the purpose. And it only sits on top of the hair/scalp, it's not absorbed. Really only good for shine. I avoid it.

lol- I felt you reaching out through the computer Kris to stop her before she starts or thinks about it- you are too sweet :-)

HAhahahaha!!!!! I mean I guess I am not totally opposed to mineral oil but I do try to stay away from it. But some people don't mind it. Of course I have used it in the past as well. And i supposed i MAY still use it if it were one of the last ingredients, not the 1st or 2nd. I guess that makes a difference.

Hey, Ambitious_Tiff, I like your idea of going all winter with the challenge and reporting monthly. As far as the pics, I kind of just chose the areas that I could easily measure myself, and I took a pic of my edges because I really am working on thickening that area.

**wave**...lmao! You are too cute! And "radiant"?!! Thanks, girl!! I think now I'm gonna have to adopt you...lol

Aw thanx!! PICK ME!! PICK ME!! Btw, I am sooooo cheating on Insanity!! Lol, that 6 days a week is too much! I am going strong on 4. I think I will still see some results though.

LOL...it's okay to cheat no, really, as long as you are consistent, you'll see results. Thanks for the update. Keep it up, girly!

Hey Tiff. Of course you'll see results just doing 4 days as opposed to 6. 4 is better than none which is what I'm doing!!! LOL I will get on the ball next week!!! LOL

Butterfly & Tiff, Thinice had actually asked about extending the challenge thru the whole winter the other day. I think it's a good idea as well. And update once a month. So lets do it that way then.

***CASTOR OIL CHALLENGE TIL THE END OF WINTER***
***UPDATE LENGTH AT THE END OF EACH MONTH***

All in agreement say "Aye" LOL
