 Topic: Twist Challenge II (August - September) - CLOSED!
Posted: Aug 07 2011 at 11:59pm |
Hi ladies,
Anyone interested in doing another twist challenge from now until the end of September? I love twists! I have definitely seen a lot of growth retention with this style. 
Rules are the same as the first Twists Challenge - keep your hair twisted for at least 5 days out of a 7 day week.
If you are in braids, but would like to join the challenge, come on in. 
We end on September 30.
Let me know!

Here are the members of the challenge  :

3. HeFFaLUmP~cUtiE
4. Staisha22
5. Napp
6. tdenmil
7. MissClarity
8. natural essence
9. coilyque
Please let us know the following:
1. Starting length
2. State of Hair (e.g., relaxed, natural)
3. If natural, how long you have been natural (including transitioning time)
4. Reggie for your twists (inluding products that you use)
5. Biggest "challenge" for this challenge

If I decide I wanted to wear like the cinnabun twist style, does that count as my hair being out or does that count as a twisted style

eh why not join again! Hey HeavyRotation! 1. Starting length: Little bit past Cbl in the back and a little bit past chin in the front
2. State of Hair (e.g., relaxed, natural) Natural
3. If natural, how long you have been natural (including transitioning time) Idk, about 5 years?
4. Reggie for your twists (inluding products that you use) Still perfecting this, but I am going to washing 2-3 times a week in regular twists
5. Biggest "challenge" for this challenge: Keeping my hair twisted and seeing growth. 1. its takes a long time for me to twist my hair and in the length challenge I retained more than I saw growth(I think I saw growth but I have to cut the growth off from splits  but I am glad I retained!) |
