I am dying to get some length on my hair, like I want it so bad! But that's just me being impatient. I know my hair isn't going to grow magically over night and I have to give it time but I waaaannnnttt it. That and I feel like my hair is at a weird length right now. To long for TWA styles, to short for most of the stuff I see on Youtube. So I'm considering doing the one year protective styling challenge. Aka, keeping my hair in protective styles [braids] for a year.
Now, I don't know if I'm supposed to do it for a whole year with no breaks or not, but I do know between braids I would at least wait two weeks to give my hair a bit of a break. It'll be a good way to keep my hands out of my hair [5 months after the BC and I still like touching] and to get some growth as my hair grows a lot faster when it's in braids. But this what I'm thinking so far...

Box Braids for the Winter
[December-March]
Havanna Twists for the Spring
[April-July]
Kinky Twists for the Summer
[August-October]
Senegalese Twists for the Fall
[November-December]
Now the plan may change, but I know for sure I'm getting kinky twists and havanna twists. I may want to try getting a sew in buuut I dunno about all that. I've never had one done before and I don't know how to take care of it. Braids on the other had? Those I can do.
But I may either start this in either January or late in December. All depends on what my money is looking like at that time.
Decisions decisions!
