All I can say is "wow!" You put a lot of time and thought into this wonderful challenge. Kudos to you! And you know what? You are right: it is not for the faint of heart! I just can't commit right now. The no direct heat part got me! I'm just getting down from 7 days a week to twice a week on shampoo day! I've been consistent with that for about six weeks.

Forgive me.

I'm praying for all of you and I look forward to your progress!

I am soooo happy that you ladies are joining! This is going to be such a rewarding experience…we gonna all have hair flying and blowing in the wind…LOL

Get ya reggies tight….so we can follow through on this!

As far as the challenge….it just kinda came together in my mind and I typed it up while I was supposed to be working …but ***shhhh*** that’s our secret …it really didn’t take that long, maybe about an hour….its just kinda flowed … a result of months of LHCF thread reading …LOL….it was basically me figuring out what hair habits I wanted to have in 2007 and just made it into a challenge for everyone….

Marie170….Yes you can fax that contract to (555) lng-hair J/K

Den1…..no bronze or silver…just like my engangement/wedding ring…its gotta to be platinum or gold! Nah…but it was complicated enough…I just wanted to keep it as simple as possible… Not sure if I succeeded

Royal Glory…Just take it one step at a time…I used to be a 100% heat addict, especially trying to transition with these 4a coils!! I assure you…its possible… you will be off heat in no time…just take it step by step…..I started a personal 6-week no heat challenge, then did the LHCF 6-month challenge, now Im adding an additional 360 days without heat!! Without any breaks btw the challenges….if I can do it…you can too…just pace yourself…Thanks for the well wishes….you still have until Jan 1 to join if you change your mind! That’s two whole months to kick the heat habit!

MJ…..you know you wanna join (in my best peer pressure voice)…lol…

Kimmy – sorry to hear about the 2-inch loss , this challenge will definitely help you regain that length...what levels are you signing up for?

Think up some CONSEQUENCES ladies….if you haven’t done so….please state what you are going to do if you fail to meet the expectations that you have agreed to….we have to hold ourselves accountable

I am so excited about this challenge!!!!!

Someone please explain the no combing and brushing. How are you suppose to fix your hair. Even if you set it or bun it, you have to comb it. Explain the natural products only thingie. Does that mean you have to purchase all natural products. My husband will sign me up for the nut house if I come home with another truck load of hair products. One other thing, my relaxer is scheduled for Nov 29th which will be 9 weeks. I had already planned to add another 3 wks to stretch 12 weeks. Would this count for the 3 month stretch. I have only done my own personal challenges, but would love try this. I just need to look professional for work.

Yep...right right and right....your interpretation is right...but those are just suggestions as an additional challenge you may want to add in order to do platinum level...the sky is the limit....these ladies have chosen a variety of things....

As far as no brushing and no combing.....that means choosing a protective or low manipulation style on wash day that will "keep"....and or finger combing. For example, I used to wear a bun...I would set it on Saturday and then at night I would slick it down with a scarf then take off the ponytail holder...In the morning I would just use oil, water, and my fingers to smooth and maintain and restyle...the next saturday...wash and restyle. Now I wear twists for two weeks...no need for a brush or comb I think some ladies even do this with a 'wrap-like' styles by pinning up the hair at night and then fingercombing in the morning....its just a matter of being creative

 

[janeemat]

Thanks Brownsugar for answering my questions. The basic training is not a problem, I haven't used a blow dryer since 2005, I set my hair but usually around 6 wks post relaxer I use the back of the curling iron to smooth the roller set out. I'm now 5 weeks post, have not use it yet. So, if I can get through 9 weeks without applying this method I may be in this challenge. I think I'll use the next few weeks as a trial run before I commit. That no combing except wash day is test for me. I'm definetly going to try for 12 wk stretch.
