BIG HAIR challenge

Please believe that I want length, but all I want right now is big hair. It may not ever become APL, BSL, WL or any of that madness.  I truly want my hair to  be healthy of course and super huge.  After my blow-out, I am hooked on stretching my hair more. I may not blow it out, but heat may be incorporated more, like rodsets and rollersets under a hooded dryer once/month and twisting almost every night. stretched hair definitely means less tangles.

3rd day stretch with Ampro Shine n Jam
The back center of my hair, the patch right below my crown was been super tightly coiled until now. It is actually stretched some and less tangled, so if this means its a lil permanently stretched from the blowout, oh well, maybe this portion will grow more now. 

I am going to do a trial on Creme of Nature Detangling Shampoo, ORS Aloe Shampoo, and Pantene Curly to Straight Series Shampoo for regular once/month (every 2 months) shampooing/deep cleansing-definitely Olive Oil prepoo

Sulfate free shampoos once/week-Elasta QP Creme Conditioning , Shea Moisture Moisture Retention

Cowash- when needed alternate with sulfate free was and cowash wth Tressemme Naturals or Herbal Essence Hydralicious

Protein treatment- Joico Luxe 1 minute

leave in-elasta QP H2 leave in, or aloe vera juice, Paul Mitchell the conditioner, jojoba & grapeseed oil(modified kimmaytube leave in) , Jane Carter leave in

Twist with Cantu Shea Butter, Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie, Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream, or Twists n Locs honey wax,

Moisturize daily as needed with Beautiful Textures Moisture Butter, coconut oil

My goal is to use mostly natural products and add in some other products...I will solidify this challenge and stick with it for 2 months and reassess if it works and continue until Christmas.  The cold weather may mean a change to the regimen.
