There are 2 different challenges you can do. You choose whether you want Challenge A or Challenge B. You may start with one for 3 months and then switch to the other :
Both Challenges will run at the Hair Vitamin Store.com in two phases.
Phase 1: From Monday, April 2, 2012 until Sunday, July 1, 2012
Phase 2: From Sunday, July 8 to October 7, 2012.
Challenge A: The Hide Your Hair/No Heat Challenge
The Hide Your Hair/No Heat Challenge - The Primary rules are simple. You must hide the length of your hair in a protective style of your choice and there will be ZERO heat passes for this challenge. CHALLENGERS MAY NOT USE DIRECT HEAT FOR THE DURATION OF THE CHALLENGE. Of course you must take a start pic and a pic when the challenge ends for comparison. That's it!
Challenge B: Hot Spa Challenge
Hot Spa Challenge – This is a challenge where you create a hot spa effect in your hair. Some call it the "Greenhouse effect". This is really good for natural hair. – We will show you techniques on how to artificially trick your body to produce Sebum and cause your hair to remain in the growing phase longer. Low manipulation of your hair is important in either challenge.
They both require the 15 day detox and to take the Nzuri Kra-Z hair gro vitamins daily. You can get your products here. Here is a gift of $10 on your first order. Use Code: $10 off
Additional Notes:
This is going to require a determined attitude and a commitment from you. You will have to commit to growing your hair to your desired length and then you are going to have to have a plan to get you from point A to point B. And finally, you will have to exercise some amount of patience. It’s only Black women that I know of who expect their hair to grow a foot in a year. It’s not going to happen ladies. However, you can increase your hair growth with certain proven techniques.
Here our goal is to not only stimulate your hair to grow faster but to retain the length once you get it. Part of the problem is that many of you do not know how to keep the hair on your head. We will deal with that as well.
How will this work. First, you will have to read some (if not all) of the information we send you. I promise you that if you do, by the time you finish this challenge you will know more about your hair, hair growth and maybe even do some deeper self discovery. We will deal with:
Wellness – Growing your hair from the inside/out. Most people deal with hair from a topical position. That is important but it is like driving a car without oil in the engine. It can only go so far then it will stop working. Have you ever seen the liquid drano commercial where the pipes are clogged up and the water goes into the sink but it cannot pass the clogged areas? Then, the drano goes in there, eats away at all the debris and cleans out the pipes. Now once the pipes are clear, the same water can run through the pipes with ease. That is what you will have to do with your body. We will go through a 15 day colon cleanse. That will prepare your body to eliminate toxins and absorb more of the nutrients it needs to feed your hair follicles.
Most people do not know that the hair, skin and nails are the last organs to receive any of the nutrients that you get from the (already nutrient dense) foods. Because the body is designed to feed the most essential for life organs i.e. the heart, liver, lungs, etc first. Whatever is left goes to the hair skin and nails. Since we know the food you eat already is over processed or have such little nourishment then we can safely assume that the hair, skin and nails are not getting any nutrition from the food. Therefore, we will have to supplement the nutrients with the Nzuri Kra-Z Hair Gro Hair Vitamin Supplements. The Kra-Z Grow (Pronounced Crazy because they do work like crazy and will grow your hair like crazy and help your skin and nails like crazy) vitamins have a special blend of nutrients that are specifically designed to aid your body in obtaining vital nutrients needed for hair skin and nails. It also contains a unique herbal blend to include Inositol, noni and horsetail along with other herbs that are proven to be highly effective in aiding hair growth.

LET'S GROW!
The "Hair Detox Challenge"
The first thing you have to do is make a commitment. You have to commit that no matter what it takes, I am going to stick with this until I achieve my goals. Black hair can grow long. Natural Hair locs is proof that if left alone your hair can grow to great lengths. No, I am not suggesting that you have to get dreadlocs or Sister locs in order for your hair to grow. But what I am saying is that they are proof that black hair can grow long. The reason is that unlike any other hair on the planet, our hair is very different. It is very fragile. People are prone to think that just because it can become very course that it is also tough. Nothing can be further from the truth.
Our hair is very dry because of the natural curl pattern. Other hair is more oily because it is straight. Thereby allowing the oils to travel easily from root to tip. Black hair on the other hand is wavy, thereby preventing the oils from traveling from root to tip. Just imagine drinking a beverage through a straight straw how fast and easy it goes from point A to point B. Now take that same scenario (where the goal is to get the liquid from point A to point B) and try it through a "crazy" straw (the ones that twirl around).
You will notice that the same objective is achieved, however, through the crazy straw, it took a little longer to get around those curves and through to the end. That is how our hair is. The good news is that you can add the oils to your hair that cannot make it to the ends on their own. That is what you will learn through this challenge. You will learn the history of your hair and how to properly care for your hair.

It is Important that You Understand How Hair Grows
_
Hair Anatomy
Hair has two separate structures - the follicle in the skin and the shaft we see.
Follicle - The follicle is a stocking-like structure that contains several layers with different jobs. At the base of the follicle is a projection formed like sticking a finger in the bottom of a stocking and pushing it in a small amount. This projection is called a papilla and it contains capillaries, or tiny blood vessels, that feed the cells. The living part of the hair is bottom part of the stocking surrounding the papilla called the bulb. This bottom part is the only part fed by the capillaries. The cells in the bulb divide every 23 to 72 hours, faster than any other cells in the body.
The follicle is surrounded by two sheaths - an inner and outer sheath. These sheaths protect and mold the growing hair shaft. The inner sheath follows the hair shaft and ends below the opening of a sebaceous (oil) gland, and sometimes an apocrine (scent) gland. The outer sheath continues all the way up to the gland. A muscle called an erector pili muscle attaches below the gland to a fibrous layer around the outer sheath. When this muscle contracts, it causes the hair to stand up.
The sebaceous gland is important because it produces sebum which is a natural conditioner. More sebum is produced after puberty. The sebum production decreases in women throughout their lives. The production also decreases in men, but not as much as in women.
Shaft - The hair shaft is made up of dead, hard protein called keratin in three layers. The inner layer is called the medulla and may not be present. The next layer is the cortex and the outer layer is the cuticle. The cortex makes up the majority of the hair shaft. The cuticle is formed by tightly packed scales in an overlapping structure similar to roof shingles. Most hair conditioning products attempt to affect the cuticle. There are pigment cells that are distributed throughout the cortex and medulla giving the hair it's characteristic color.Hair Growth Cycle
Hair on the scalp grows about .3-.4 mm/day or about 6 inches per year. Unlike other mammals, hair growth and loss is random and not seasonal or cyclic. At any given time, a random number of hairs will be in various stages of growth and shedding. There are three stages of hair growth: catagen, telogen, and anagen.
Catagen - The catagen phase is a transitional stage and 3% of all hairs are in this phase at any time. This phase lasts for about 2-3 weeks. During this time growth stops and the outer root sheath shrinks and attaches to the root of the hair. This is the formation of what is known as a club hair.
Telogen - Telogen is the resting phase and accounts for 10-15% of all hairs. This phase lasts for about 100 days for hairs on the scalp and much longer for hairs on the eyebrow, eyelash, arm and leg. During this phase the hair follicle is completely at rest and the club hair is completely formed. Pulling out a hair in this phase will reveal a solid, hard, dry, white material at the root. About 25-100 telogen hairs are shed normally each day.
Anagen - Anagen is the active phase of the hair. The cells in the root of the hair are dividing rapidly. A new hair is formed and pushes the club hair up the follicle and eventually out. During this phase the hair grows about 1 cm every 28 days. Scalp hair stays in this active phase of growth for 2-6 years. Some people have difficulty growing their hair beyond a certain length because they have a short active phase of growth. On the other hand, people with very long hair have a long active phase of growth. The hair on the arms, legs, eyelashes, and eyebrows have a very short active growth phase of about 30-45 days explaining why they are so much shorter than scalp hair.
Hair Shape
The amount of natural curl a hair has is determined by it's cross-sectional shape. Hair that is most similar to a circle is straight and hair that is flattened and elliptical is curly or kinky. The more circular the shaft is, the straighter it is. The more elliptical the shaft is, the curlier or kinkier the hair. The cross-sectional shape also determines the amount of shine the hair has. Straighter hair is shinier because sebum from the sebaceous gland can travel down the hair more easily. The kinkier the hair, the more difficulty the sebum has traveling down the hair, therefore the more dry or dull the hair looks. It is Nzuri's goal to assist the Sebum effect on the Kinkier hair.

The Colon Cleanse is Step 1
_Let's Start with the Colon. Did you know that the Colon is the
brain to the rest of your organs? When the colon is clogged up it can
really prevent every other organ from operating at its best. Therefore,
it is imperative to keep your colon clean. Have you suffered from
bloating, headaches, trouble sleeping, bad skin, breath odor and a
myriad of other problems? Well you may be surprised to discover that a
lot of it is directly related to a clogged up colon. Clean the colon
and clear yourself of a lot of headaches. Literally!
Sorry to get graphic but this is Reality!
You can make a decision today to do something different or you can just keep going along at it as though your colon is going to cleanse itself. It simply is not going to. You have to take measures to clean out your system. These are actual photos. Do not be surprised at what may come out of your body one you do the cleanse. Also, don't hesitate to inspect what is leaving your body. A cleanse is not a normal or regular bowel movement. It will be fecal matter coming from the cleanse. It is matter from your colon! You will feel lighter once it really takes effect. You will also experience a lot less bloating around your mid section.
Taking your Nzuri Kra-Z Hair Gro Vitamins is Step 2
The Nzuri Kra-Z Hair Grow Herbal Vitamin Supplement will become your best friend someday. One thing to note about a good hair vitamin supplement is that they work if taken consistently and over a period of time. Hair vitamins do not work in one week. If you find some that do you probably better run. However, they can work if given time.
Our vitamins are made with some of the best ingredients available on the market. With the unique combination herbal blend, they are developed to perform at optimum efficiency. Hair growth is a journey and you will have to be patient to watch it work properly. One note I want to mention is about taking cheap hair vitamins or cheap any vitamins for that matter. I was in the Dollar store one day and asked the clerk "Does people really buy your vitamins?" and she said "Yes". I asked her why because there is no way a dollar store vitamin could work. She said "Well, they don't expect to get a good vitamin from the dollar store they just want to know they are taking vitamins". Well, I figure what a waste of time. That is really a good example of people fooling themselves. I've been taking vitamins consistently for over 16 years now and I never opt for really cheap vitamins.
This is a classic case of you get what you pay for. There is a reason one vitamin costs $10 and the other costs $20 because of the quality of ingredients in them. You wouldn't pay 1/2 price for a meal if you knew you could only eat 1/2 of it would you? Well, the same goes with vitamins. The Nzuri line of Vitamins really work to assist in your journey to grow your own hair long. You can grow your own hair long. Very long with the right attitude and regimen.

Wearing Protective Styles is Step 3
Protective styles are any hair style that you wear that will protect your natural hair from daily or constant manipulation. It is proven that less manipulation leads to more growth. Find styles that you like or feel like you look good in. Protective styles range from wigs, to sew in weaves (please no glue),
The "Hair Hot Spa Effect" is Step 4
You ever see how hot it gets in a hot spa? People go in there so they can let the heat pull out all of the impurities in their bodies. Well, that is what we call the Hair Hot Spa Effect. You cover your oiled hair and scalp with plastic caps and let the heat penetrate your scalp so it can go to work to cleanse the drying effect, thereby moisturizing the hair and conditioning the scalp creating a healthy hair growing effect.
