100 Day Hair & Health Challenge!!!

Wow it's been about a year and half since I last posted on this blog. Shame on me, because I actually really like doing it.

So honestly my hair is not were I would like it to be right now. My hair has grown but I have had to trim away the majority of my growth over the last 1.5 years. On top of that the left side of my hair has thinned out a lot. I Think this is the result of heat damage and just overall neglect of my hair. My hair is resilient but heat is it's worst enemy and I am convinced that even just a couple uses of a flat iron greatly weakens my hair and causes severe breakage. My hair also definitely needs daily moisture which I have always neglected. I would moisturize maybe every three days or less.

So for the next 100 days I have chosen to challenge myself and use the combination of healthy hair practices, nutrition, and exercise so that I can get some serious progress with my hair.

I just ordered some MSM and Biotin supplements and I will begin the 100 days once they arrive.

Hair Practices:

• NO HEAT!!! (Blow out or flat iron roots only when needed) I will be doing braid outs, and air drying.





• Wash and deep condition every 5-7 days





• Moisturize daily





• I'll post my full regimen plan later

Vitamins/ Supplements:

• Women's Multi





• Vitamin C





• Biotin





• MSM





• Fish Oil/ Flaxseed Oil





• Vitamin D




• Whey Protein Shake

Nurtion:

• Avoid added sugar





• 80-100 grams of protein per day





• More Info Later

Exercise:

• Carido 30 mins 5x/week





• I also want to incorporate weight training ( but I won't commit to that just yet. lol)

I will post more info on my plan for each of these four categories later

Also I will be posting mini updates here every 10 days during my challenge.
