As for me, Im doing well. I cant believe Ive been doing bootcamp for a year and a half...but my hair definitely thanks me. Only about 6 months left, so Im hoping to reach BSL....gotta stay focused :yep:

Now that it's summer, I discovered a way to wash, twist, and go....no comb involved...so thats been interesting. It lasts about 2-3 days and my hair gets more water exposure but is still low-mani and protective styled. Takes less time too :grin: I still poo and DC every two weeks.

Im kinda feening for some mini-twists so I will do that next.
 
this is the end of my first session. my hair is doing so much better than before. im still learning more about my hair and what works for it and im finally getting the hang of how to retain length. im so happy im sticking to the rules, im so scissor happy but i havent picked up my shears since i started! i hope to be sl by the end of this session.​
 
This is the end of my second session and I'm definitely staying on board for the rest of the year. My longest layer is currently on my shoulders so I'm hoping to be APL by december. Hopefully bootcamp will help..:grin:
 
I'm coasting! *kickpushglide*

OOoh, you have to share your hair trick!! I'm looking for anything that can make my hair faster to do, and can be done more often - I've decided that I WILL redo my hair in the middle of the week - but I WON'T use combs - strictly fingercombing.
 
:ohwell: I had to drop out. I couldn't take the 2 textures so I bced. I'm down for the next session though
 
I dunno, I flat ironed a few times to check length (which was so stupid and obsessive becuase how much length could I really have :nono:..I even washed it out within the next 10 minutes)
 
I am in braids....so i have no clue whats going on in there but i havent done anything against the rules so I am god to go! lol
 
I am having average growth but retaining almost all. My hair has finally reached a length that I am no longer using extension hair in my braids. Yeah!! It doesn't look as full as it did with the braid extensions. But, I am happy with it and the braiding is much faster without the extensions. Yeah, again!

Bootcamp is going well for me. I have not had to use a pass for session one or two and am aiming for non pass usage for all sessions.

Goin good, summer is here so that makes it easier. With this FLorida heat I wouldn't use heat in my hair anyway. Just braid-outs, buns, etc. I hope to be BSL at the end of this session, *finger's crossed*
 
Bootcamp is going well, I got braids at 9.5 weeks post to help me stretch longer. I'll take them out when I get to at least 4 months post
 
-Bootcamp is going well for me. I'm still following the rules and will continue to do so for the rest of the year.
 
Still goin good. Co washing 5 x's a week and dcing 2 x's a week, airdrying in a bun. I did use heat (blowdry and flatiron) once to show off on Memorial Day :giggle:
 
I'm doing ok. I stretched for too long (almost 3 months) and I paid the price by thinning out. I got a trim so I'm back at the length in my siggy..... *sigh* again.

My hair's a little on the dry side so I need to step up the DC's But other than that, no breakage or heavy shedding to report. If I can either braid it and wig it or weave it..... I'll be doing pretty good for the rest of the year. :yep:

Other than the length and thinning I'm satisfied with my hair.
 
I'm going good. I got about an inch of new growth right now. I'm frusrated because I have a lot of newgrowth and dunno hwot o deal with it. I'm scared to cowash it because when I cowashed it last time and tried to roll it I had problems. My newgrowth is a lil tangled. I dunn wanna comb through it because of breakage. Anyway....I wanna braid my hair up as soon as this rollerset challenge is up. I'm tired of having my hair down.
 
Going great! I'm wearing the braids in my avvie until later this month. I take them down to rinse or cowash 2X a day now that it's hot and then tie them back up again in some sorta fashion:rolleyes:

Since i've started boot camp i've been in protective styles. I only takedown by request:grin:

Bootcamp fo life!!:lachen::lachen:
 
I've been sticking to the rules since I joined in April and I'm gona need to use my heat pass on the 22nd of June for my first progress comparison pic :yay: ! Can't wait!
 
I'm doing great. I haven't used any passes, I still cw everyday and now I'm currently wearing my hair in a wet bun. I feel the squiggly wiggly's in my scalp so I know my hair is growing. :yep:
 
I am soooooooo happy to hear you ladies doing SO WELL with Bootcamp. All the positive reports almost brought tears to my eyes :grin: Dont ask me why Im feeling hair sappy today...I just am :look:

Sui Topi - A new session starts July 1st so its the perfect time to get back on the bandwagon.
 
I used a heat pass and I got a light trim. I've just been wearing WnGs since the weather is so nice but will probably go back to twists in a week or two

This is probably silly, but what does boot camp consist of? I've seen it on the boards but don't know what it is that you guys do. I'm hard on myself when it comes to discipline so I believe I could do this, whatever it is....

Here is the original link for the challenge

BTW Im doing okay. I havent used my session 2 pass yet, Im probably going to blow my hair out and do a length check in the next two weeks. Right when I was going to straighten it started to rain everyday and then it got hot and muggy. I want my pass to last as long as it can!
