CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6 Month Challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since its Spring and more moisture in the air from the season change, I have decided to challenge myself........

The Challenge.........es:  

                         1. Create for myself a weekly routine and stick to it.........weekly!

              The Reason:  My hair has been colored and needs to be conditioned with a protein and moisturizing deep conditioner every week.
                        

                         2.  Use up the products I have before I buy any more

              The Reason:  I don't want to become a product junkie.  Plus if there is something I can use that I can make myself........Why not!
                      

              3.  Mainly finger comb my hair and only use tools after last moisturizing step.

               The Reason:  Less breakage..............simple.

    
Last but definitely not least...........

                        4.  I will try to wear protective styles throughout the week and wear my hair out on the weekends and special events.

                   The Reason:  I want to retain length, especially where there has been breakage.  Wearing my hair out will be a treat since I love to wear my hair out.  Plus I don't particularly like how it looks in twists with dark roots.

At the end of my 6 months I will color(my roots) and maybe cut (for a different shape I want the top longer or about the same length as the bottom). 

My Daughters Challenge:

Some of the same challenges will go for my daughter.  Except the challenge will be daily/nightly moisture with water or glycerin mix, and kept up protective styles for length retention.  I may take it down every two weeks and shampoo because she swims now, or co-wash.  I find that homemade conditioners like egg and mayo work well on her hair.  So I will do a homemade condish at least once a month.  Probably on both of our hair.

I will also dust my ends every 2 months as needed, and hers every 6 or once a year as needed.  For her hair I probably won't need to since the increase in moisture will do wonders.

I know

It sounds like a lot, but these are somethings I need to do to get my hair back to a healthier state.  Healthy hair is easier to deal with than unhealthy, dry, brittle and breaking hair.......I think I will tweet that. :-)

You can join me!  That will make it more fun!  You don't have to do all those things.  Just start with one. 

come on..............Challenge yourself!
