Plus I'd love to meet you my dear readers in person!!!
Now to FADEKEMI'S HAIR CHALLENGE
Fadekemi mailed me about a challenge she wanted to undergo- THE GREEN HOUSE EFFECT CHALLENGE.
For those who do not know what the Green House Effect is all about; Basically it entails wearing a shower cap over your hair while you sleep, the purpose is to create steam and in turn condition your hair from root to tips, its a more intense form of the BAGGY method I talked about HERE.
Now we know the basics, this is a summary of the mail she sent in;
Hello Dabs,
So I have been an active but quiet reader of your blog... I'm natural but love the tips and all you offer for hair. So here is the reason why i am writing, I have been reading a lot of other blogs too and wondering if this Green House Effect (ghe) and Inversion method of growing hair really works. People say they get about 3 to 4 times the normal growth rate of their hair when using this methods...
I understand that it wouldn't work for everyone but i just wonder if it will work for you. Sorry, I am not asking to you to be my guinea pig (lol...), as i will also give it a go from next week (Have braids on now), so we can be guinea pigs together...
So I decided she should spear head the challenge and I will post her progress on the blog and see if the claims about the green house effect are true!
HER REGIMEN FOR THE DURATION OF THE CHALLENGE
- Pre-poo with oil and conditioner for at least an thirty minutes, then detangle
- wash with a lower sulphate shampoo (Tressemme naturals)
- condition (allow it to sit for like 5 mins) and then rinse
lightly apply leave in and seal ends with my oil mix (castor oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, olive oil, rosemary essential oil and tree tea essential oil)
I will do the GHE method about three times a week at minimal, reporting the number of times I did it each week and my hair progress in the monthly updates to you.
I will also try the inversion method ''the inversion method for hair growth is simply turning your head upside down for up to four minutes for seven consecutive days, accompanied with a scalp massage using your favorite oil.'' I will do this yoga style. I will massage my scalp with only jojoba oil because it's closer to our hair's natural sebum and I don't want another oil distorting the rationale behind the GHE method. HOWEVER THIS IS NOT OUR FOCUS BECOS IF IT MAKES ME TOO DIZZY I WILL PUT A FULL STOP.
QUICK INFO ON HER HAIR!
- It grows at an average rate of half an inch a month (give or take).
- Last relaxer was June last year. Breakage, random trims and shedding should be consider. Makes my hair at about 6 inch for the short parts and 7 inch for longer parts
So this SUNDAY Fadekemi sent in her starting point pictures;
LENGTH CHECK
My front measured at 6 inch
My side at 6 inch too
My back measured at 6.4 inch
This challenge will be on till DECEMBER, If you want to join, all you need is a shower cap and your pillow to snooze on :) Thanks again Fadekemi for reaching out, can't wait to see your results!
My next post will be a little more on the NHCG SALON DAY OUT!! Thanks for stopping by!
Cheers,
Dabs
