Its called the long hair academy and if I can stick with it I should see some great results. Its not for the faint of heart, but I am doing good so far!!! Here are the rules.....
You must moisturize and seal daily, no exceptions
• No cutting, trimming, or dusting of the hair. Any scissor plans you have must be executed before the first day of Long Hair Academy or after the semester is over.
• Elastic Bands are strictly forbidden.
• You must Deep Condition once a week, including after each time you shampoo.
• You must drink at least five cups of water a day. No exceptions. This is one of the most important rules! You may get your water in the form of fresh brewed Tea. This does not include iced tea, sweet tea, lemonade, or half and half. Flavored water packets such as Crystal Light, South Beach, Benefiber, and Lipton are acceptable.
• You are allowed Two Relaxer passes. Yes, this is also a stretching challenge to achieve optimum strength. If you're already overdo for a relaxer, I'd suggest a touch up before you enroll.
• You may not shampoo more than every other week. If you use a sulfate-free shampoo or an organic shampoo [bar], this can be lowered to once every week. Pre-pooing is strongly suggested, but not required.
• You must keep your hair protected when you sleep. Wild nights of passion are not an excuse. Make use of a silk pillowcase, satin scarf or hair bonnet. Avoid any unnecessary detangling.
• For all ladies SL and longer you must wear a protective style of your choice at least 2 days a week. This includes but is not limited to buns, half wigs, full wigs, braids, sew-ins, and various up-dos.
• You must take one supplement of your choice. Acceptable supplements include:
Multivitamin, Bella Nutri, Vitamin E, MSM, L-Cysteine, Chlorophyll, Silica, Niacin, Biotin, Vitamin B-12, Cod Liver Oil, Provillus, and Nature’s Bounty, or any other Hair Skin & Nails supplements.
• You must apply a topical growth aid directly to your scalp. How often you do this depends on which growth aid you choose (Not less than 3 times a week) Acceptable growth aids are limited to:
Any combination of essential oils including (peppermint oil, jojoba, rosemary, lemongrass, coconut, carrot, tea tree, rice bran, avocado, aloe vera, Nettle, olive, safflower, sunflower, cayenne pepper, horsetail, grapeseed, shea, marula, eucalyptus)
Micanazole Nitrate
Wild Growth Hair Oil
Moe’s Growth Oil,
Nu Gro
[Jamaican Black] Castor Oil
M-T-G
Mega Tek
Ovation Cell Therapy
Jason Biotin Growth
Beemine Serum
Boundless Tresses
Sulfur 8
• Absolutely NO brushing on wet hair
• Absolutely NO fine tooth combing on dry hair
• Detangle on wet hair only. This may be difficult for some of you but it will pay off.
• You must post in the group at least once a week. There will be a weekly “Check up” discussion where you can discuss your progress, ask questions, cite any changes in your regimen, but more importantly let us know you are still a part of the challenge.
• You are allowed ONE direct heat pass a month only. Use it wisely. Direct heat includes the use of a non-hooded blow dryer, flat iron, curling iron, or hot comb. Hooded dryers and heating caps should be used at your discretion.
• You must pamper your hair with one homemade Hair treatment a month. This includes a protein treatment. We will be putting up a Hair Recipes Discussion board on the 1st of January and you are ALL required to post at least one recipe in it (Even if you have yet to try it out)
*Should you break any of the rules you will receive one strike (be honest people). Three strikes and you will be respectfully expelled. This includes the weekly check in rule. Only serious applicants need apply. Beauty is sacrifice and it must be earned.
So, if you have the discipline and you're determined to be the baddest chick in your neighborhood (provided you aren't already) invite your friends and let's all conquer the hair demon that's plagued black women for so long,
......
this is my new regimen until June.. pray for me
Peace
So much love
