Belle's 2009 Grow-Out Plan

After much consideration, I decided that I will cut off approximately 2" off! Why? The bulk of my hair is texlaxed while the last inch or two is bone-straight. I'm not happy with that so I'm trimming it all off.

I will NOT do it myself, however. I will leave the cutting to a wonderful stylist, whom I have had many great hair experiences with. After that, the grow-out challenge will begin! For my personal challenge, this is what I'll do:

• Pre-poo with olive oil and garlic
• Shampoo and condition with pH-balanced products
• Deep condition with a light reconstructor mixed with a moisturizing conditioner
• Moisturize at least two to three times a week
• Chelate every two months to rid hair of product buildup
• Take vitamins EVERYDAY! No ifs, ands, or buts
• Massage scalp daily

That's my supposed regimen. It's not set in stone since I'm always doing product reviews and what not, but I like it. I don't really have a length goal as of now, but I'll keep you updated!
