30 day hair challenge + update!

I started a 30 day hair challenge on Monday.

DAY 1: HOMEMADE HAIR MASK (JBCO, Coconut oil, HONEY, egg) + trim
 
 
DAY 2: Cornrows

DAY 3-14: MIST HAIR WITH GLYCERIN + WATER MIX + OIL WITH JBCO MORNING AND NIGHT (CO-WASH HAIR ON SUNDAYS - GENTLY WITH TEPID WATER)

DAY 15: SHAMPOO WITH BLACK SOAP, CONDITION THEN NEW Cornrows

DAY 16-30: MIST HAIR WITH GLYCERIN + WATER MIX + OIL WITH JBCO MORNING AND NIGHT (CO-WASH HAIR ON SUNDAYS - GENTLY WITH TEPID WATER)

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!
The challenge was a success. My edges filled out really well and my hair is longer (of course because hair grows) but most importantly fuller and healthier.

Sorry about the blurry pics. I had just taken out the cornrows and the lighting is bad.

Keri Hilson x braids of LIFE!!

How muvva friggin beautiful is Keri Hilson. I've noticed it before but the box braids really do her justice since it pulls all the hair away from her face and lets her beauty shine through. Eurgh I want braids now!!

RACHEL ROY RESORT 2014

I always get a  "I'm grown and in-charge" vibe from Rachel Roy's collections. She designs with the career woman in mind. The kind of woman that wants to look as good as she feels, likes simple items that aren't too showy and are seasonless. Her collection is for the boardroom to the bar without looking over/underdressed in both situations. I could see an 18 year old wearing this collection without looking too old and a 40+ woman wearing this without looking too young. A great collection.
