These are my curlfessions

This sounds like a great challenge! My hair can definitely use some consistency and TLC. Unfortunately, I, too, am a Product Junkie, and jumping from product to product is doing absolutely nothing for my hair! I plan to kick the habit in 2013...lol...stability is KEY!

Stick To It Challenge
Choose 1 good hair care routine/regimen for 6 months and don't change it. It doesn't matter what you do as long as you don't change products. You can alternate between DC & PT etc as necessary but the routine should be consistent.

Starting January1, 2013 please post your regimen info, starting length & any other info you want to share.

If you fall off the wagon, no worries. Just go for as long as you can.

If you notice your hair doing anything interesting feel free to share.

PLEASE NOTE: Your chosen regimen/routine should be good. If doing the same thing for a month or so causes breakage, please make changes. No challenge is worth hair loss y'all.

Good luck!

I better back out of this one....I'm trying to get rid of my stash and I have a variety of products to use up.

A way if sealing in moisture. Liquid, oil, then cream.

This is going to be hard for me because I don't have the discipline to consistently keep a routine and I'm a product junkie. In the long run this should save me some money at the very least.

I'm establishing a new routine with my weekly curlformers sets so I guess I will hold fast to that from January to June. For me this means no WNGs until the summer time.

If all goes well I'll have 3 or 4 inches of growth.

Definitly in.

Good luck to you ladies. *steps off the thread*

No, not really... I kinda wanna join, but apart from QB stuff, I don't have 6 months worth of anything. So if I joined it'd be a 'stick to it until it's finished' challenge.
Also, no way I can only use one cleansing product for 6 months or whatever. I love my Bobeams and I gots to rotate! They're not all the same.

Its not that restrictive. You can rotate your bobeam bars & if you run out of stuff that's no biggie either. I just ran out of two staples I'll be replacing this weekend.

The goal is to stick with a regimen, whether its weekly or monthly, etc. & to avoid pjism.

For example I won't be trying the new SM products till the summer.
