Phro Group Growth Challenge 2015 – February Update

Long time no post. 🙁 Sad Times. Hope all is well on your end.

I’m back with a brief update on my progress with the #GrowthChallenge2015. For more details on the challenge, check it out here. Right now, I’m on the Ninja Growth Routine. If I put I have a long-term protective style, I will switch to the Rested Routine.

Ninja Growth Routine

This routine is for people with a seasoned hair routine and would like to bump the care routine up and start experiencing serious growth.

Duration: 12 months (check in once a month)
Products from Phro Group:Coconut Oil, Castor Oil, Shea Butter, Aphro Comb

What results should you see?
Well moisturized hair
Less incidences of shedding and breakage
Evidence of hair growth

I have to admit that I haven’t kept up with everything that this program entails. However, I’ve done most of it.

DAILY ROUTINE

Massage Castor Oil on hairline, nape and damaged areas for 2 minutes: FAILED. I usually massaged JBCO on my hairline 2 – 3 times a week.

TWO – THREE TIMES A WEEK

Apply Coconut Oil to your hair and scalp and massage for 2 minutes: PARTIAL SUCCESS. I use JBCO (not coconut oil) to massage my scalp
Lightly add moisture to hair with preferred moisturizer & Seal with Shea Butter or Coconut Oil: SUCCESS. I moisturize my hair 3 – 4 times a week and I seal with my coconut/hemp seed oil mix.

WEEKLY ROUTINE

Hot Oil Treatment with Coconut Oil, Massage oil for 2 minutes. Bag for 20 minutes
Shampoo and Deep Condition
While damp, spray Leave-In Conditioner and add Shea Butter or Coconut Oil to ends
Air Dry or use dryer on cool air
Moisturize and Seal Routine when 80% dry. Use Shea Butter or Coconut oil as sealant. Concentrate sealant on your ends
Massage Castor Oil on entire scalp using Aphro Comb

SUCCESS. This is what I normally do for my wash days.

MONTHLY ROUTINE

Light Protein Treatment: PARTIAL SUCCESS. I alternate between a light and heavy protein treatment every month.

For the most part, I think I did alright. Going forward, I will be more conscious of my castor oil massages. Here’s how my hair looks this week. This was after a hard protein treatment, roller set, and silk/saran wrap.

Are you on any hair growth challenges this year? How is your progress?

Now that’s some healthy hair 🙂

I’m (somewhat) on Black Hair Information’s staggered hair regimen, which is just protective styling 3 or 4 weeks at a time and moisturizing daily. I now have in crochet Havana Twists and it’s been going well so far.

I like these pictures! Keep it up!

  Thanks so much. I want to try a protective style soon. However, I’m nervous about crochet braids because of the cornrows involved. My edges can’t take any pull. 🙁

Great! congrats on the sucess. Im also on this growth challenge. I’m on the rested routine, I like that it that it’s mostly what most of us do on our regimen and only has a bit of extra things, so it fits in well

  Cool! How’s your hair doing on the challenge?

You know I’m in love with your ends, so healthy.
I joined the Hairlista castor oil challenge. Week 1 was a success. Week 2 I didn’t do so well but I’ve devised a means to stay on track and week 3 is going well 🙂

  Thanks Sandra! I did the Hairlista Castor Oil challenge in 2013. It was tough for me to keep up the the scalp massages but I my new growth felt much softer.

  Thanks Miranda! I think you can. Eventually, the hair regimen becomes a habit and you get used to it.

Your hair is so shiny it makes me jealous. It’s easy to follow the weekly routine especially when it similar to your wash day routine but I’ve also been failing the other ones as well. I barely do scalp massages except when I remember which is once in a blue moon. Lol! We would get better at it as time goes on.
- Me
  
  Aww, thanks! I think I’m going to start putting reminders in my phone for the scalp massages. Hopefully, that will get me on track.
