CHALLENGE!!!

I was just reading a post on Jamila's site www.collegecurlies.blogspot.com when I came across an old post from about one year ago! This post was the KIM Cole GROW OUT CHALLENGE I was still into my weaves then so I politely ignored this challenge lol and kept getting my sew ins. Now one year natural I feel I am going to fully COMMIT to the GROWTH&HEALTH of my hair(&body)!!! I am at a point in my life where I need to take control to see the results I want. Below are both my hair &health regimen for the next 6 months. From July 11 2012-January 11 2013. After that time period is over I will length check and measure myself and start the challenge over til my 21st birthday in July 2013.! Please challenge yourselves with me if you either have a length goal or health goal lets make our goals together and Stay motivated EACH month I will post an UPDATE on both my weight loss and HAIR GROWTH!!!!!
