Winter Hair Challenges!!!!

As we all are aware of how harsh the winter wind and low temperatures can be on our tresses, despite the massive attack of fatigue I must still maintain healthy tresses right? What better way to do that than to join other *Listas* in their hair challenges? Boost of motivation and extra care right?

First off there is Vannie C's "Castor Oil Challenge"

This challenge is being held from December 10, 2012 until March 10, 2013. In this challenge I will be oiling my scalp 3x a week as well as adding Castor Oil to my deep conditioner.

Because I am iffy about simply cowashing my hair while avidly oiling my scalp I have decided to "spiffy" my regimen up...so far it has been so simple "Cowash & DC weekly, moisturize as needed"

I recognize that is a good "maintenance" regimen, just to retain length, and keep it looking healthy, but to obtain the ultimate amount of health and growth I need to do better.

My regimen will be as follows:

Every Other Day:
Moisturize
Oil Scalp (Castor Oil)
Scalp Massage
GHE

Weekly:
Cowash
Deep Condition

Every Other Week:
ACV Rinse
Hot Oil Treatment

Monthly:
Clarify

During this challenge I decided that it would be even more beneficial for me to protective style, which brings me to  CHALLENGE #2


Longing 4 Length's PROTECTIVE STYLE CHALLENGE

This challenge does not OFFICIALLY start until January 7, 2013 and ends on April 7, 2013....but I have already begun simply because 1. I am lazy and do nothing with my hair now.....and 2. I like to PS with the Castor Oil Challenge.

With this challenge there is a grand prize involved, you may check her blog out here if you are interested. There are also mini challenges revolved around styling. I am horrible at styling so we will see how well I participate in those, however prizes are awarded for those as well.

I will not submit a before pic for the #L4LPSC until January 2013!! I am so excited to be taking part in both challenges and I can't wait to see the massive length retention and overall health improvement that I gain from this!!!
