Countdown to MBL ... Let's Grow!

A new series documenting my journey to longer, healthier hair. It'll take coconut oil, twists, low manipulation, and internal health to get there! I've got 30 weeks.

WEEK 2/30

The new wash day regimen is still working out well for me. My hair is doing just fine with a simple prepoo, wash, 5-minute condition, and seal.

As for twisting, I've switched from doing that weekly to bi-weekly to tri-weekly for the sake of time management and low manipulation. On the weeks that I wash but don't twist, I'll just redo the perimeter. That's the plan for now. Eventually, I'll work my way up to wearing a set of twists for four to five weeks with minimal takedown woes. Thanks to all the nappturals (you know who are) who shared their routines with me!

Twist Routine Recap:
*Twist tri-weekly
*Wash weekly (see details here)

*Redo edges/nape weekly

Last week, I splurged on bananas, blueberries, carrots, red lettuce, tuna, roasted nori, celery, and other health goodies. I noticed I've been slacking on my vegetable/fruit intake for two weeks now so I thought I'd get back on track. I'm also learning how to make my own sushi after being inspired by a veteran napptural who's wise in the ways of raw dishes (as well as hair care).

The twist challenge starts in a few days. Yay! I also jumped aboard a green smoothie challenge. Now this should be fun too!

How's your healthy hair journey going?
