Gahl healthy hair challenge 2013 Nov - Jan

October 27, 2013

The Gahl healthy hair challenge is finaly arround the corner. Just like our last challenge, this challenge will be a combination of a few healthy hair practices with the major challenge being protective styling and low manipulation hairstyles.

Here are the rules of the challenge.

1. Wear protective styles 90% of the time
Protective styles are those that keep your ends hidden. These include buns, cornrows, braids, weaves e.t.c keeping your ends hidden will keep them from getting damaged and will encourage length retention.

2. Wear low manipulation hairstyles 10% of the time. 
Low manipulation hairstyles do not keep your ends protected but do not need to be combed out. These styles can easily be turned into protective styles. Examples of these are braid outs, perm rod sets, straw sets, bantu knots out, twist outs e.t.c 

3. Deep condition every week or at least once every two weeks

4. Moisturise and seal your hair on regular basis. 

5. Baggy your hair or just your ends
whenever your hair or ends feel too dry.
Baggying is simply applying a plastic bag on your head after moisturising to retain moisture. 


6. Keep your hair covered with a satin or silk scarf at night while sleeping.

7. One heat pass for the entire three months. Use it wisely ladies! Rollersetting and steaming are allowed

As always we recommend you taking pictures at the start of the challenge so as to be able to track your progress. More details on the challenge will be posted on our website http://growafricanhairlong.ning.com/group/gahl-hair-challenge-2013-1st-nov-1st-feb we hope to see you there 😀

Thanks for reading
Joanne & Evelyn

    It is for both natural and relaxed hair so you can definitely join in even if your hair is in braids.

    Hi, I'd like to grow my hair longer. Not sure if I should go natural, last time I tried that it broke a lot and what's your take on split ends? Does cutting them make them grow?

    I got so tired of having to keep up with routine hot oil treatments, I came across this really amazing hair growth cream called HJ Organic fast hair growth, I cant remember the last time I did an oil treatment, this cream is a miracle worker,I just wake up and apply it on my hair and go,my hair has really grown thick and long, I recommend for anyone in that wants longer and healthy hair.
