2007 LHCF Boot Camp
Starting January 1, 2007

This is the ULTIMATE Length Retention Challenge!
It is a combination of some of the most successful LHCF challenges (based on my thread research ;) ) and those that require the most discipline. This challenge is not for the faint of heart, fickle, or easily swayed but for those who are unwaveringly determined to retain every mm of growth that comes out of their scalp in 2007.
Get those tickers ready! Who will survive?

Here are the RULES (Basic Traning)::ban:
No Direct Heat (Hooded Dryer is acceptable)
No Trimming (Dusting is allowed)
Deep Condition w/Every Shampoo Wash

Optional Levels of Difficulty:
Gold Level:Only Protective (Buns, Braids, Twists, Weaves, etc.) or Low Manipulation (Braidouts, Rollersets, etc.) Styles

Platinum Level: Gold Level + Your additional personal challenge– EX: Buns/Baggy, Vitamins, 3- month relaxer stretch, All Natural products, No combing/brushing, etc. Its whatever you decide, but let us know which challenge you add.

This challenge will have 3 sessions. Each will be 120 days long:
One Session – 120 Days: Discipline
Two Sessions - 240 Days: Diligence
Three Sessions – 360 Days: Determination
You can sign up for 1, 2, or 3 sessions.

Those who make it through 3 sessions will reap the greatest hair reward!!:weird:

Cheat Sheet:covereyes
You will have one emergency pass for each session. Use them wisely! Please post to the monthly update when you have used one.

Emergency Example A: My ends were sooo thin & scraggly I just HAD TO trim 1inch. My hair looks so much better and I am back focused on Bootcamp.

Emergency Example B: My sister is getting married in two weeks and my SO/DH has been begging me to wear my hair down so I am going to flat iron my hair this weekend, and then I am going straight back to my bun and Bootcamp.
ONLY ONE EXCUSE!!! :mad: <---- My mean face

CONSEQUENCES :spank: – If you are serious about this challenge, you can decide on a punishment if you do not live up to the requirements. For example: No fried food for a month, 2x my normal exercise for two weeks, No LHCF website for two weeks, No new products for two months, etc. (Notice the positive tone of the punishment). For every action there is always CONSEQUENCES! So get one in mind...to hold yourself accountable!

ACCOUNTABILITY: Throughout the challenge, we can post monthly updates. Also, if you have one please post your starting point picture. You know LHCFers want to :shocked: results.

My additional challenge will be NO SODA AT ALL and 8 glasses of water a day. My consequence will be not looking good when I finally meet my girlfriends parents after 5 years of being together. I am excited to do this for my hair! I will do my best to post a starting point picture by January 1, 2007 and I promise to report updates in the montly thread! Lets do this!


(Does the no trimming count for BANGS? Or do we have to let those grow all wild and be out of shape when we love them so much?)
 
I know this is part of the basics but could I use a blowfryer ever 4-6 weeks because I feel that air drying my hair causes greater damage and has severe determental effects on my hair as opposed to blowdrying? I am willing and prepared to do more to make up for this (detailed below)...

I am going to commit to 3 sessions. I have DETERMINATION!
I am going to challenge myself to complete Basic Traning! But I will blow-dry when I take out my weave which is every 4-6 weeks b/c my hair doesn't take well to air-drying and I believe I will be cutting off my nose to spoil my face, so I will do something in addition, to counter-balance this :D

Also, I am going to raise the stakes and do PLATINUMlevel!
My additional challenge will be Vitamins, biotin & MSM and (to make up for my need for infrequent :p direct heat) I eat fruit & veg and drink water RELIGIOUSLY, and cut out most of my sweet snacks, I will also go to the gym at least once ever 2weeks for at least an hour. (for platinum only) My consequence will be LHCF sacrifice. I am excited to do this for my hair! My sister is buying her digi cam today so I will have a fotki and starting picture set up prior to 1/1/07 and I promise to report updates in the montly thread! Lets do this!
