Hair challenges keep me on track to succeeding my goals, while learn more about my hair in order to keep her healthy. I've finally reached the end of my healthy hair challenge.
Here are the results!
The Spring: Protective Styling Challenge 2016
The goal of this challenge is to continue to grow healthy hair and to retain the length grown over a 3 month period.Pre-Set Theory
I'm reaching for the stars, but I believe I can retain an average of 1.5 inches of length grown in 3 months from SOLEY protective styling, massaging my scalp, and keeping a healthy hair regimen.
Rules
Take a picture of weekly protective styles and do the weekly challenges.
My Journey
April 3rd to June 26th (13 weeks) was the time frame.
My regimen was based on simplicity. I wanted to use healthy hair techniques to retain the length grown and to also learn more about my hair during this time. I also wanted to focus more on my bang and nape hair growth as well.
Here was my regimen I stuck with:

Upcoming Season and Hopes
I am absolutely excited about my hair growth and the length retained during this healthy hair challenge. However, I noticed that the crown of my hair did experience breakage during those months because of the excessive pulling and tugging. Also, I concentrated more on my bang and nape hairline and neglected to baby my crown area.
My upcoming season will include: massaging my scalp at least 4xs weekly, rinsing with rice water, and implementing the Indian Oiling method for softer, shinier, and stronger hair.
