Long Hair Don't Care

CHECK IN!!

Hey, challengers!!! How're y'all doing with the HYH/NH challenge?  I'm hanging in there, but I can't wait until I iron it out to check my length!!!

The HYH/NH Challenge Starts Today!

The Hide Your Hair/No Heat Challenge will run on LHDC from Sunday, July 12, 2009 until Sunday, November 22, 2009 and the rules are simple, you must hide the length of your hair in the protective style of your choice and there will be ZERO heat passes for this challenge.  CHALLENGERS MAY NOT USE DIRECT HEAT FOR THE DURATION OF THE CHALLENGE.  Of course you must take a start pic and a pic when the challenge ends for comparison.

That's it! 

Optional rules are to consume at least 20 grams of protein in one meal for 4 days out of the week AND eat 4 or more servings of fruit and veggies for 5 days out of the week. (yes I know that the reccommended daily allowance is 5 servings...)

LET'S GROW!

CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!

Who's up for a Hide Your Hair/No Heat Challenge?

Here are the ground rules for the challenge...

Topic of the Day: Today is the last day of the GAP!!!

Today is the final day of the GAP challenge!!!!!

Did you take your start pic?

Don't forget to take your end pic, too!!

Topic of the Day: Final GAP Chek-In!!!!

Ok, y'all 47 days have passed since the GAP began.

Who's still on board?

How excited are you for your results?!

Personally, I CAN'T WAIT to straighten my hair in a couple of weeks!

Topic of the Day: GAP Check-in!

Today marks the half-way point for the GAP Challenge! 

How're y'all doing with it? 

What part of the challege is the most challenging for you?

Have you used your direct heat pass, yet?

Here is a list of high protein foods for your convenience...not all of them are healthy, but this ain't no "let's get skinny" challenge this is a "let's grow some hair" challenge! 

GAP Challenge Check-In!

How are you doing with the GAP?

Initially I was going to only do one check-in through the whole challenge since it's only 60 days, but I changed my mind and decided that that wouldn't be enough!  I want all the participants of this challenge (as well as all of you ghost challengers) to reap the benefits of being on the GAP; so if you've fallen off the wagon - in the famous words of the late, great Aaliyah -

"...dust yourself and try again...you can dust it off and try again, try again..."

There are still approximately 45 days left on the challenge and that is PLENTY enough time for you to if not see length results at least see results in the overall condition of your hair! 

Here are the active GAP challengers:

bbdgirl, BIA, Delilah, Kboug22, LadyTee, LongHairDontCare, MzDayDream, Selah & Vanessa

LET'S GET IT, DIVAS!!! OUR LENGTH GOALS ARE OURS TO HAVE!!!

The GAP Starts TODAY!!!

Hey, y'all!!!  Just a reminder that the GAP Challenge begins today!  DON'T FORGET TO TAKE YOUR START PICS if you haven't already!!!  Good luck to those of you who signed up and to all of you "ghost" participants!!!  

LET'S GROW!!!

2009 Challenge: Keepin' It Simple (KIS)

Let's KIS in 2009 and grow our hair to its longest lengths!!!

With the new year there always comes a time of reflection over my life and re-assessment and evaluation of my priorities.  This year will mark my 2 year anniversary in my healthy hair care journey and I am pretty comfortable with my regimen, the products I am using and my overall journey as a whole.  I have said before in previous posts that LESS is MORE when it comes to growing your hair to its longest lengths.  So, this year, let's focus on keepin' it simple (KIS) in terms of our hair care practices.  Let's KIS with our products, our hair styles and of course our heat usage...and as with all challenges hosted on LHDC, I will be periodically asking for updates from y'all!  So the theme on LHDC for 2009 is KIS...
