I am secretly a part of a healthy ends challenge as well.

I have a pj inventory coming up at the end of this month.

I have a length check coming up on the 20Th to end the CO challenge.

I plan to relax Jan 9th 2010. I am currently 6 weeks and will be around 11 weeks at the time of relaxing.

I have a new product line that I am getting so anxious to try. I will post it later on. I just want to research it more before I send a whole bunch of pj's into a frenzy. It's the only thing on my wish list that I would give up all of my success for. I have to stay away from it online b/c I am always tempted to buy it.

I also plan stay away from combing too much. I do different styles weekly and just refresh and remix it the each day and don't comb it until wash day.Sometimes, I will cut a style short and bun or french braid, but I like refreshing and remixing a twist out/braid out or curls.

I am a part of the stick2it challenge on Hair2Toe.ning.com. It is a short challenge to help some of us with our consistency. Alot of my fellow members are focusing on products and so am I, but I am more concerned with consistency in techniques. I am in pj rehab and using up products so to just use this challenge in regards to products isn't going to be sufficient for me. I will use the same products, but I will try the same detangling, setting, styling techniques for this entire month.
COURTESY OF H2T-STICK2IT CHALLENGE RULES:
Rules to the challenge!! Dec 1 - Jan 1, 2010!OK ladies, here's the skinny!

The key to this challenge is consistency! You are free to style your hair as you wish and wash as often as you like, however you should be consistent as possible.

It is understood that heat regimens and cowash/air dry regimens can vary with different products, however whatever you choose, you have to stick to it.

Rules:
~ Full wash days must be consistent (every 5 days, every 7 days, etc)
~ Cowash days must be consistent (once/wk, twice/wk, etc.)
~ Products per regimen must be consistent (full wash products vs. cowash/air dry products, etc.)
~ Vitamins/supplements must remain consistent in dosage and frequency.

You cannot:
~ Switch products within the same regimen (ex. use one shampoo then another when you run out) So make sure to stock up!

Goals
~ Allow our products to have an effect on our hair and scalp.
~ Gain discipline in sticking with products.
~ Document any changes during the challenge, positive or negative.
~ Find out how each product we commit to works with our hair and other products.

Exceptions:
~ ONE pass to switch products that are negatively affecting your progress. By keeping your products consistent, it should be easier to tell what is not working for you.
OK ladies, let's STICK 2 IT!
