I decided to put temporary locs in as a protective hairstyle. It's also a challenge to me because my fingers are always in my hair! I'm always playing in it or doing something over. Well i'm challenging myself to keep these locs in for a month and the only thing i can do to them is re-twist them. so GOOD LUCK because as pathetic as it is this will be hard for me!! lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I also challenged myself to work out at least 3 times a week. This didnt work well with my locs. They'd get sweat in em and shrivel up again and re-twisting after every workout was not an option. So I hid my hair for a week then did a twist out. This doesnt defeat the challenge at all because my hair was still given time to grow without me using heat, comb, or brush. In fact it grew a lot!! so i'm really excited.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i ended this challenge at 5/17, which made this a month long challenge. at the end of this challenge i gained .5", which isn't bad. that's the average growth. even though i was already growing my hair at that rate, at least i didn't lose any hair and i gave my hair a chance to rest. that makes this a mission accomplished and conquered!

mainly twist...my semi-protective hairstyle.

My freewebs site wont allow me to upload my photos {and i have no idea why!!} so i think i'ts bout time i start my fotki site!

I had braids for a while so i could keep my fingers out my hair. This seems to be the most effective way to protect my hair from me messing with it! lol

exactly 2 months after the BC

pictures of braids that i did by myself
