This will be my very first Natural Hair Care Challenge that I have entered/participated in! There are many Natural Hair Challenges that promote healthy hair growth, which can be easily found on YouTube. Typically, Natural Hair Challenges will choose a product and/or styling method for participants to use over a course of 90 days to a year to see if these methods has increased hair growth or overall health.
Transitioners are encouraged to take part in similar challenges, in order to be introduced to healthy hair care and growth techniques.
