I am in the ALL or Nothing Challenge on BHM and the BSL (Should be able to kill two birds with one stone). Very simple Challenge...Do all you can to acheive as much growth as you can by December 2007. (I have about 7 months) I am growing about .5/month = 3.5 additional inches by Dec. (BSL approximately 3.5-4") (See 2 Birds). This is where I am going to store all of my pictures and journals for this (hair journaling is VERY hard for me to do, but that will be one of the challenges).

5/17 I decided to use protein to aid in health, strength and sheen. The lady at GNC advised me that I needed to take NO MORE THAN 18 grams/serving of protein in a 4 hour period or I may gain weight, especially if I'm not very active, which I'm not. After a couple of days, I felt as if this was too much measuring and I don't think I'm going to continue

5/26/07- I had a pretty bad set back. I did the Henna treatment and it did NOTHING for my hair. I won't be doing another one. I lost SO much hair while detangling this time. I don't know if it was because of the treatment or because I hadn't touched my hair in two weeks (I usually do it every week). I am going to be giving my hair some much needed TLC. I may even get some extension and keep them in for 4-8 weeks, just to give my hair a break.

The official name of the high frequency treatment I've been getting is Tesla. http://www.electroherbalism.com/Bioelectronics/Tesla/VioletRay.htm I had one 5/24 and I think the girl over did it. I'm walking around with tender scalp. I think I'm going to do these every 10-14 days instead of every week.

7/10/07-It's been awhile...some quick updates. I've done another apoghee treament to try and combat any split ends that may try to stop my progress. I've been a little creative butterfly lately so I haven't been able to get my tesla treatments because I've been having cornrows. I think these treatments give me a lot of growth, so I will start them back up after the summer or whenever my creative juices stop flowing so much, which ever is first. I'm really close to BSL. I should be there within 2-3 months FULLY. I am grazing it now, but that just with one or two strands of hair LOL.).

7/26/07-So I decided to try Henna again. I realized the error of my way, so now I'm doing it again. I have a few gray hairs...yeah, gray hairs. that turn red and it's a great gage to see the new growth. I have a lot since my last treatment. If this one goes well, I will do it every 2 months.

7/28/07-Henna treatment was the BOMB...I think. Well my hair turned out Magnificent, but I don't know how much the Henna had to do with it. This time, unlike last time, I followed up with a deep conditioner with honey and vegetable glycerine and then I twisted with 100% Shea butter, which was the first time I've ever used it...So my next Henna will be in approximately 6 weeks! ~PS, I'm trying really, Really hard to NOT trim my hair, but I think I may HAVE to, I'm just not comfortable with split ends...eventhough they are not bad, the scare me.

8/28/07-Today is my nappiversary...It was exactly 2 years ago that I BC'd. I am so excited to have made it this far...I have long ways to go to get to my ultimate goal which is BSL unstraightened. I decided to do mini twist, which are gorgeous and remind me of loc...I am definately loc'g at some point. I just love the look and not to mention the low maintenance of it.

9/6/07-Did another Henna treatment and used too much lemon juice. My hair was dry as hell, but I deep conditioned it, and moisturized it to death and BAM, it's all good. I have decided to do one every month, exprementing with a different ingredient each time (Yeah...I've joined yet another challenge...the HENNA challenge on BHM). I keep hearing so many good things about it and I actually want some highlights to start showing. The more I do it the more highlights I will have. I did a small length check and my damn front hasn't grown 1"...Not 1" in 4 months. The rest of my hair has grown about 2" and my front has not even grown 1....What the HELL?!?!.

I am going to try some streaks tomorrow...I am scared to death...but I want them, so I am going to do them. I am also going to do a henna treatment on top of them so hopefully it will combat and possible dryness and damage. Wish me luck
