SESSION TWO IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!






Lets hear those updates and see those progress pics!

 

[brownsugarflyygirl]

So yea after 18 months...Bootcamp is definitely a way of life

Update: Im still going strong, protective styling and DCing..used a heat pass last session....I am trying to go 12 months without dusting. Its been 6 months so far...but I think Im going to need it the next time. My hair is constantly changing and Im trying to keep up. My hair has been a little dryer than usual lately...so Im going to have to remedy that but otherwise Im doing well hanging in there and looking forward to BSL.

Progress Pics: For some reason, the last time I got my hair done I got really busy and forgot to take a picture in my grey striped shirt Im really upset about that...so Ill have to use a heat pass in Session 3 so I can get a more accurate progress pic...but here is the most recent picture of my hair. This was taken in May:

Alright ladies...Your turn!! I want to hear those updates!!!

Oh and sidebar...Im not that great with graphics and all but I was wondering if you one of you ladies who are good with graphics could create an avatar logo for Bootcamp. I see the ladies with the Ovation Challenge ones and I thought it would be fun if we had one for Bootcamp that we could put as our avatar or in our siggy. Any volunteers?

Well let me say, I have cheated. I like to wear my hair down, and it is the summertime. My ends prolly need to be trimmed, but I refuse. I need to moisturize my hair more, and after seeing my progress pic I will DEF be better on the ball to meet my December goal. This is my progress from January to July. It's not much but hey at least I'm going in the right direction! My hair has def gotten a lot different and my edges have completely grown back!! YAY for me!

 

[doublejo]

I broke all the rules! I used my heat pass like 6 times. I wore protective styles only about 60% of the time. The only thing I really made sure I did was moisturize, low mani, and maintain my protein balance...

Still co washing every day and dc'ing twice a week. I think I may dust some time soon, cause my ends are starting to tangle a bit. I don't have a pic, I'll be straightening this Friday

 

[Aggie]

I think I will update tomorrow, too tired tonight to do it.

 

[wannabelong]

Here's mine!

 

[EMJazzy]

I'm still cw and protective styling daily (wet bun held together with a octopus claw) ....in 2 more months I would have gone an entire year without using heat!! So suffice it to say I don't have any length pics right now but I suspect that I will be surprised.

This might sound crazy but I'm almost scared to use heat again being as tho' I've went without it for so long.

Great progress Ladies!

 

[babydollhair]

Ok i lost track of which session i was doing, so i will just post my pic from jan, then from july. So in Jan i was above brastrap and now im at it, i mostly bun my hair, and have been taking my vitamins, and some growth aids. I got a trim too, i was hoping to grow my hair out to waistlength, but i think when i did kinky twist in march, that and braids after left me needing a trim of over an inch, but its grown bk.

 

[RegaLady]

Here's mine!

Beautiful progress! But ummmm, how did you get there in 4 months!!! I am also ear length and trying to get out. I am making progress, but nowhere you are!erplexed I also think my hair was shorter than yours in Feb, so maybe your ear length is where I was a month ago. So I have guess I still have time. But, great work!!!

 

[LunadeMiel]

Everything has been going well so far. Everytime I decide to use a heat pass, I punk out..

I did an update in this thread

[monieluv]

within the last 3 months, i've trimmed once, texlaxed, and blow-dried once. i'm still trying to set my staples and stick to a regimen. but my hair doesn't seem to be thriving like everyone else's. i know it's different from person to person. i co-wash 3 times per week, pre-poo, poo, and dc weekly. try to keep my hair moisturized but the weather and humidity isn't helping me. don't understand what i'm doing wrong. plus i drink water and all day and workout 3 times a week.

 

[sydwrites]

I've been doing good but it hasn't been easy! I stopped co-washing as often but i only used the one heat pass. I got weaved up the end of june to keep my hands and heat appliances out of it, but I do have a few stretched out pics in my fotki for my one year nappiversary . I feel like its grown but its so hard to tell with my tightly coiled hair!

 

[Aggie]

Okay I promised to update today so here's my progress pics so far:

This pic was taken at the start of Bootcamp 2008 in December '07-

This pic was just taken in June 2008-

Okay ladies, there you hve it - my 6 months 'BootCamp 2008' progress.

 

[gressr]

This was my starting point at the beginning in twist



Here i am today after a DC treatment with no product added getting ready to put in a new set of twist




I have not had a trim or use a heat pass as of yet.

 

[LayneJ]

Wow, all of you ladies have made awesome progress!

 

[PuffyBrown]

This is awesome ladies....

 

[ricochet]

Sorry ladies, I have no pics but I do have an update. I am going to change my siggy pic tonight too so that will be a little bit of a pic update. I have been doing my regular dc after each shampoo wash 90% of the time, the other times I just straight up forgot to. I have been wearing nothing but protective styles(mostly a baggied Chicoro bun) and no heat. I used a heat pass on my birthday in May for a length check and just to show off . Other than that, nothing exciting just low maintenance, low maintenance and more low maintenance. I have used my Amla, Shikakai and Aritha powders in tea every now and then, but not enough to claim Ayurveda. My scalp is doing great, not itchy or dry, but very moisturized. I have been using the aloe vera/glycerine mixture for the past week and I think I am in love. Well, that's it for me. I will probably use the heat pass this session to check length but it will probably be in the end of September in order to see a difference. Happy hair growing ladies!

There are some good looking heads of hair in here. Great progress ladies.

 

[Channie]

I posted this in the June update thread 2 days ago... First pic was in March, I cut off a couple inches before I started (in session 2) cause I just couldn't take those raggedy ends. I'm back to that length already. I've never seen my hair grow so fast, then again I've never tracked my growth either. My hair is stronger and softer.

Again I say, Bootcamp is a way of life. ​

I'm not that great neither, but here's a few I was playing with!

 

[MissMusic]

Great hair ladies!!!! I will reveal at the end of the 4 month co-wash challenge.

 

[wannabelong]

I use Boundless Tresses, other than that I just shampoo, DC and air dry once a week. I moisture everday and I wear half wigs for my protective style. Now I have my hair in cornrows and I plan to keep it braided up until December.

Okay, thanks! I am keeping mines braided up also. I need to go back to BT, It did give me a growth sport last month. But, that is great growth for you!
