Good Evening Ladies,
Hope you are enjoying a nice evening.
First of all, wanted to show a picture of my tresses with no products applied, so without delay, here we go, please note photos below:
Freshly washed 4C tresses, as you can see, she has started to really hang a bit as long as she is soaking wet, in about 20 min, will all be gone. Here is what she looked like 9 months ago, to see, please click here.
Now, I did notice something, was traveling for about 7 weeks and she did not grow, nopee, NADA, not even a centimeter but partly was my fault, did not moisturize as I do at home, she did not adapt well to the water changes and was having to much fun to really sit down and wash and detangle properly, yes I know, terrible right, so no growth, shedding was a bit too much also but that is because have not been doing my tea rinses, kinda hard when you are traveling up and about but am back home and in back in business 😀 😀 😀 !!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, to remedy the problem, will start to implement the use of coconut oil in my daily hair maintenance, will do a 28 Day Challenge starting from today, anyone wants to join in, feel free to, will be super easy and will contribute to healthy hair growth:
Today – Sprayed hair lightly with H2O and twisted hair (about 20 two strand twists) with Coconut Oil and oiled my scalp.
CHALLENGE:
Daily Maintenance – July 21 -26 2014

- O (Coconut Oil – 2 TBSP)
