Hi, I'm a four month (almost 5) natural and I just did a big chop. I'd really like to be in a challenge starting in 2013 focused on shine boost, frizz decrease, and length growth and retention. I started out with a fade so by July 13 2013, assuming that I had perfect retention and all that jazz, I will have a year and six months of growth and about a total of 10inches of total growth. Would anyone like to be in this challenge with me? We could break the challenge up into seasons as well as adjust monthly to include different oils, hair techniques etc. I think the TWAs could use a little more love for the challenge scene. The APL and BSL challenges are a little long winded for us newbies! Lol.

I'm thinking including things such as hot oil treatments for shine boost, castor oil and shea butter for growth and moister retention, regular hair treatments and when our hair is long enough protective styling. This could be a great way to make some natural friends (I only have one irl and other than stalking Curly Nikki none online) and have people to chat with. I don't have many people to talk to about hair because I don't want to come off as obsessive or annoying. This could be a lot of fun and nice way to get osme curly friends! Who wants to join? We can work out the details of the challenge once we have at least three or four people who want to join with me.
