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.

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.

I would like to participate but I'm on a hyh till xmas challenge. Is it possible that I join...can we find a loophole:grin:? I would like to join and do the GOLD level, since I plan on weaving it up till the end of the year this would be perfect. Prior to this though I MUST trim my ends!

Alli...you are more than welcome to do both challenges.
Just to keep with the no trims requirement, I would try to get that trim before Sept. 15th or as close as you can. When you do your HYH reveal...please post in the Bootcamp update thread as well. Welcome :grin:

I, Alli77 will participate in the final Bootcamp at GOLD level. I will challenge myself to complete Basic Training by doing strictly protective styles such as braids and full head weaves. I plan on taking this challenge seriously and am well aware of the consequences of not following the general rules (no LHCF for 2 weeks and no New products/appliances!!). I will show my accountability by posting pics on the 15th of December 2007!


ETA: protective styles also include buns and phonyponies

I'm still in. Going to keep doing what I've been doing.

I actually thought I'd officially "failed" the challenged (even though I kept following it anyways) because I'd used heat twice this year. However, I re-read the rules and saw this:

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

:yay::yay::yay::yay:

My only issue is that I don't have any pictures from the start of the challenge. I have pics from Oct. 2006 and then March 2007. I was wearing kinky twists when the challenge started and had kept them in for 3 months...
 
READY, SET - come on September 15th. :grin:

BeatifulWideEyes - The challenge did go by quick...Im glad cause Im starting to miss heat :ohwell: OT but I used to love sunflower seeds when I was little....now I just eat them every blue moon when I am curled up with a good book. They are such a guilty pleasure.

MJ - I am so glad that you can now view your participation in the challenge as a success...using heat only twice is definitely commendable and Im sure that your hair is thanking you :grin:
