Hair Growth Challenge 2011

...For those of you who put "Grow my Hair" on your 2011 resolution list.
There are no rules. Use what you think will work but you have to tell us what you're using. Challenge runs until April (4 months). Tell me if you're interested then we'll get started for the new year.
I'll post the list of final participants on New Year's Day and then we'll decide how often to report our growth. Suggestions Welcomed.

I wanna join.I'm already in moptopmaven challenge too so this is great

I would love to do this :]

Thanks guys...awaiting any other participants

me too!!! im going to be bc-ing sometime this week, so this will be good for me .

kool, i think we should take some 'before' pics to compare with the 'after' results...and maybe report growth every 6 weeks or maybe more??
what do you think?

Please post your information such as your hair type, current length, desired growth, protective styles/hair supplements that you are/would be planning to use in the upcoming year. Any interesting thing in your weekly Routine (washes etc.) that may/ may not contribute to your hair's health.

For Example here's mine:

Hair Type: 3c/4a
Current Length: 7"
Desired Growth: 2"
Protective Styles/ Supplements: 2 strand twists,
Biotin tablets, full protein diet

Routine: Co-Wash weekly, Re-twist Weekly
I'm also giving Bees-Wax a try

I'm in!
Hair Type: 4a/4b
Current Length: new growth- 2"
Desired Growth: 2-3"
Protective Styles- Twists and Kinky Twists
Also take Biotin, and use Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Have to get a pic soon. Oh and my routine: Co-wash every other day and twist-outs, Biotin, & massage oil daily.

I want to join, I'm currently transitioning.

Hair Type:4a/4b mainly 4a
Current Length: 1 5/8"
Desired Growth: 2"
Protective Styles/Supplements: Kinky twists, braids & curls, 2 strand twists, Biotin
Routine: Co-Wash twice a week, massage scalp with oil(possibly EVOO) 3 times a week, 2 strand twist hair at night. Kinky twists: use witch hazel to clean scalp

I'm going to put up a pic but right now I'm wearing braids sooo I can't exactly put up a before pic that's really recent. The only recent one I have of a before pic is the 17th & I did Bantu-knots ( not the best results but working on it) is that okay?

@NaturallyLerei sure that's okay

That makes 9 of us in total. I know that persons usually get lost/ drop out of challenges like these but I hope that we can all stick in until April hopefully.

Hair Type: 3a-c. Mostly 3b
Current Length: About 13" I have it cut slightly shorter in the back so its about 10" there.
Desired Growth: 2"
Protective Styles/ Supplements: (SMH, i almost never do protective styling. lol.) The 2-big-french-braids-going-back thanger, mini twists, and lots of buns to keep my ends tucked away.
Routine: Co-wash every two days or so. Shampoo every week or two, depending on how much build up I have. I'm gonna try to stick to air drying and not use any form of heat. I'm also gonna give braid outs and twist outs a try instead of always doing wash and go's

Hair Type: 3c/4a
Current Length: 1''
Desired Growth: 2-3"
Protective Styles/Supplements: Kinky Twists, Braids, Bantu-Knots, 2-strand twists, Buns, Healthy Diet/ Lots of water/ Exercise weekly (about every day)
Routine: Co-wash 2 times a week, Shampoo every 1-2 weeks, Use Wild Grow Hair Oil every 2-3 days along w/ Dont-Be-Bald

I also forgot to put shampoo once a month, and exercise twice a week, and do twist outs, haven't got around to trying braid-outs. Anyone tried braid-outs, and did they turned out okay?

I don't do them a lot, but braid-outs were definitely my thing when I was transitioning. In my opinion, braid-outs hold more of a curl than twist-outs on relaxed ends and that helps to blend the different textures better.

Thanks, I'll give them a try.

Im in

Hair Type: 3b-4a
Current Length: 1'
Desired Growth: 4"
Protective Styles/ Supplements: Buns, protein filled diet and the ocassional braid/ twist out.
Routine: Wash once a week. Rinse and detangle daily. I use curls moisturizer and eco styler gel olive oil. Also suave professionals shampoo and conditioner.

I'll post a pic soon

Welcome earynnm.
Has anyone used Biotin and got any side effects before?
I've been using it for 4 months now, but I hear people talking about hair growth in weird places. I haven't noticed anything 'weird' but my eyelashes have gotten really long..people think i'm wearing mascara all the time.

Thanks for the welcome
