Jan - March: 1st Challenge of the year

This month WAS all about twists...but the twist extensions had to go.

I have to be real and honest...this month is about introducing more natural products to the regimen.

Current stats - back to about where I was before my latest cut, err "trim", except the back, the back was still a bit longer. Oh well, just means my hair is closer to being one length as opposed to having a "tail" in the back.
Front - chin length
Sides - shoulder length
Back - collar bone length

3 month goal - 2 inches of growth

New Things:
1. Coconut oil - my hair fell in love.
2. Bentonite Clay...another love affair.
3. Aveda Be Curly Conditioner (NOT the Curl Enhancer - the latter was crap) - left on overnight, then rinsed in the morning followed by Elixir.
4. Before twists, cover hair with coconut oil, and twist with a little bit of gel (Eco)...I got a nice little balance going on with that combo (done on freshly washed hair).
