My Current Hair Challenge incorporates Two Strand Twists and Flat Twists as protective styles for the winter. I really hope that you will join this journey with me. But first, what are protective styles?
Protective styles are styles that use LOW manipulation and generally clump your hair ends together. I do not consider 'out' styles (twist out, bantu knot out, coil out, etc.) protective. Braids and/or twists are it for me.
This low manipulation SHOULD provide more moisture for the hair since you're not constantly tugging on it and removing some of the moisture. It should decrease breakage and excessive shedding. If any of you have ever had micro braids back in those relaxed days, this method is very similar. It will 'grow' your hair and hopefully retain the length that you already have.
This challenge will last 100 days until my 1 Year Natural Anniversary.
Start Date: January 1, 2011
End Date: April 10, 2011
The Rules:
- NEVER go outside without hair in a protective style OR without silk lined hat.
- Keep hairstyle for a minimum of 10 days.
- Moisturize every other day.
- Re-twist when necessary.
- Follow regimen!!
- Always sleep on satin pillow case OR with satin scarf/bonnet
My end date is my anniversary simply because I wanna have a BANGIN anniversary. I want my hair to be supa fly! Also, the weather is relatively warm in April, and having my fro 'out' in warm weather is okay for me.
What hair challenges have you set for yourself?
Comments are ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS welcome.
