My Castor Oil Challenge update!!

This picture was taken the day before this blog post:-)

Well hello there!  I'm very blessed to announce that I am now in my 25th day of my two month Castor Oil Challenge, so if you haven't joined me yet it's still not too late.  This challenge will be ending November 27, 2013 which happens to be the day before Thanksgiving.  If I've learned anything about myself, when it comes to my hair, is that I'm becoming more and more comfortable with my hair being in an afro like state which is super fun for me.  I'm one that usually tries to stretch out my hair every chance that I can get to get more length but I'm starting to move away from that.  Well I don't want to make this too long but I just wanted to give you a quick update on what's going on with this hair of mine.  Be blessed!!

Check this out to get an idea on how I sewed my hat together:  http://youtu.be/2QQb1ZQ9yug

Pick the side of your work that's going to be side A and fold it into itself that way side A is facing itself within the fold.   Whip stitch from the brim of the hat( your fpdc and bpdc rows) up to the very top.
I'll post pictures and a video of  my finished product so you may see what I did.

Castor Oil Challenge Update!!!

So I know that I'm way past my 8th day on my challenge but I didn't get the opportunity to post my pic but here it is!  I'm currently on my 19th day and I'm still happy with how my hair is doing now.  Ever since starting this challenge I've come to notice that my hair is feeling a lot stronger, and I'm experiencing less breakage than before, so I know that the castor oil is working it's wonders.  If you still want to join me on this challenge it's not too late because the challenge will not end until the end of November so get started!!
