THIS CHALLENGE IS ONLY FOR SERIOUS HAIR GROWERS!!!

The Growth Acceleration Program (GAP) is designed for those who are SERIOUS about growing their hair and retaining every centimeter of their length in the process! The GAP focuses on EVERY (well almost every ) aspect of hair care and incorporates methods and strategies that are known to speed up and accelerate growth. So, if you are serious about growing and you think you can make the challenge, sign up NOW in the comment section!

The Growth Acceleration Program will run from January 19, 2009 until March 20, 2009

Here are the RULES:

• Diet: REQUIRED - Each challenger MUST consume at least 20 grams of protein through one meal per day for 4 days of every week...this does not say 20 grams of protein PER DAY, it says 20 grams of protein in ONE MEAL for 4 days EACH WEEK. So that will equate to about 40 days of "high" protein. You choose the meal.
