EVCO Challenge: Week Eight

Day 50 (Feb 21, 2010)

My hair is still holding up despite a minor setback. With every wash I am noticing shinier healthier hair. Still can't believe it's attached to my head, LOL! I have noticed that my scalp doesn't even itch anymore either, which I am totally loving.

Today marks my four month anniversary since I started my hair journey. Here is what I have accomplished so far:

1. Eliminate (or at least seriously reduce) dry/itchy scalp 
2. Increase moisture in hair 
3. Reduce breakage
4. Achieve strength/moisture balance (almost there)
5. Reduce shedding (under control)
6. Increase thickness 
   
7. Daily 1 min scalp massage (almost there)
8. Increase growth and retain hair length (full SL by Summer 2010)

Not too bad for four months of (somewhat) consistent hair care. 

Day 51-56 (Feb 22-26, 2010) 

Hair still looks good and feels strong! No complaints. My roots do feel a little dry and the itchiness seem to have come back, but that is because I have been slacking with my scalp massages and oil applications. Will get back on track.  

Day 57 (Feb 27, 2010)

Well my hair continues to feel soft despite the fact that I do not moisturize and seal everyday like I should. I will need to work on that, but for now...When I applied the EVCO I did notice some breakage, which concerns me. It wasn't a huge amount, but any amount is more than enough to make me concerned esp since I have yet to really see any breakage (minus my little mishap last week) since I've started the EVCO challenge. I think I know what's going on, so I am going to have to modify some of the products I am using to pinpoint the culprit. We'll see what happens after my wash tomorrow.
