EVCO Challenge: Week Five

Day 29 (Jan 31, 2010)

 So it's five weeks in and I can say my hair is coming along nicely. When I unraveled my twist there was absolutely no breakage. It felt strong, a little dry (I don't moisturize daily), but overall I am pleased. You can't begin to understand how happy I am right now. EVCO will definitely become a staple after this challenge. I think I may have been a little heavy handed with it though, my jar is almost empty! It is worth a return trip to the health food store. I am gonna pick some up tomorrow!!

After reviewing my mini hair goals I realize I am on my way

1. Eliminate (or at least seriously reduce) dry/itchy scalp (under control)
2. Increase moisture in hair  (new)
3. Reduce breakage
4. Increase strength/moisture balance  (almost there)
5. Reduce shedding  (under control)
6. Increase thickness 
   
7. Increase growth and retain hair length 
8. daily 1 min scalp massage   (almost there)

Day 30-35 (Feb 1-6, 2010)

I've been oiling my scalp daily up to this point and I've decided to give it a rest for today. My hair looks great (moist and strong).... itchy scalp has reduced significantly. No complaints. I will wait to scratch number one off my list once I have had consistent results for a period of two weeks.
