[SafieN]

Hi

I am sort of a newbie. I saw the challenge late and i wanted to join.

I am going to commit to 4 sessions of LHCF Bootcamp. My consequence for violating Bootcamp Rules will be no new products for two months. I am excited to see the hair progress I will make by participating in this challenge!!

things are going well.

i've been in this protective (twists) for 16 days so far.

 

[Healthb4Length]

Doing ok, it's really hard not to pick up that flat iron but I've been strong. I've been doing alot of protective styles and rollersets and my hair does feel strong.

 

[Tallone]

Im really anxious to blow this out and see my progress. I think I will use this quarters pass for V Day with my husband, if Not I'll just wait until the end of March

 

[Queen V]

Updated fotki with this month's update pic...I was feeling great about my progress until I looked at the pics of this month and last month side by side. Not doing as well as I thought; maybe next month'll be better.

 

[Gemini350z]

I am still hanging in there. My newgrowth is out of hand might decide to relax tonight.

Took a pass today....why I didn't wait till Feb 14th..I don't know ....Pic in Fotki

i actually started a similar challenge (okay, okay, it's pretty much the same one! lol.) through another site so i'm in by default, iguess.​

I am going to commit to 4 sessions of LHCF Bootcamp. ​

My consequence for violating Bootcamp Rules will be no extra shopping for 2 weeks (no clothes, shoes, fast food, etc.). I am excited to see the hair progress I will make by participating in this challenge!!​

Here is my starting point picture:​

So, I'm finally posting my first pics! I can't wait to see how much my hair can grow this year. I've been good so far; protective styling every day, daily moisturizing, using a satin scarf and a satin pillowcase...I put braids in recently, but I always want to take my braids out a couple of days after I do them so it will be hard to keep them in for three weeks, but I will do it...

 

[youwillrise]

i've had these twists in for 3 weeks (21 days) now.

i decided instead of keeping them for 6 weeks
i'll take them down at day 28 to make a full 4 weeks.

so, on february 13
i'll be taking these down
and getting ready to put in new ones.

things are still good on my side.
hope everyone's doing well.

 

[guudhair]

Will someone give me ideas about styling my hair without heat?...this will be my first time doing my hair since I removed my braids last week...I don't want to get braids/twist/wigs and I don't think I have enough length to roll it...thanks....I REALLY don't want to violate Bootcamp rules!

Hi everyone my name is Ivy and I'm so happy to be here!
I would like to join the challenge effective 2/17/08. I'm geeked because this is my first challenge and I am gonna make it happen!! I feel success coming on!

I, Ivy, am going to commit to _4___ sessions of LHCF Bootcamp. My consequence for violating Bootcamp Rules will be _no java for a week_. I am excited to see the hair progress I will make by participating in this challenge!!

I would like to post my starting picture this weekend. My hair is in box braids until then. I am almost completely 4ab/natural and I would like to start the challenge without this 1-2" of relaxed ends.

I saw your comment that you think it's shorter...NO, I don't think so...I think you may have more new growth because you have more texture to your hair so I think it may be some shrinkage from the new growth.

[nappity]

Am still happy doing boot camp- still have hair in twists and will continue to bun it up. When the perimeter gets messy I retwist the perimeter.
No progress pics till April when I use my first pass.

Thanks for the comment! I'm not really discouraged anymore; I think I should avoid talking about my hair while stressed out about my wedding. I was just in a negative place that day, but I am back on track mentally and am very optimistic about my hair journey. Patience really is the key, as with everything else in life.

I scheduled my relaxer appointment for Saturday but I have to creatively avoid a trim. I don't want to tell this ***** about LHCF, or that I'm tracking growth progress via photo journal and I don't want her to trim my hair. Last time I got tight rollerset and had to wait until the following week to take progress pictures/length check. I want her to do a roller wrap but I don't think she knows how to do the saran wrap technique. erplexed She hasn't mentioned a trim but I'm pretty sure she'll look at my card/appointment record and see I haven't had a trim since September 2007. What should I do?

Tell her you aren't trimming your hair for religious reasons. That always shuts people up.

Or, just tell her you don't want/need a trim, tyvm!

Here is my starting point picture:​

I need to add this to my subscriptions.... I am weaving it up . Since I have learned to do them myself I am going to wear them for 5 weeks, rest 1 and then do it again until the end of October.

The Weave Regimen:
Cowash once a week (Suave)- Wednesday
Shampoo (CON) DC (Silk Elements) - Saturday
Oil my scalp with MN mixed in Nairobi hair dress
I may do a EO rinse once a week on Wednesday also.

I am waiting on my BT and Lenzi (PJ in reform , NOT!!!) anybody got any tips to gain the most effectiveness of either?

Lent! Just in case she doesn't shut up

Both may work Thanks. I'm taking some products with me too

[prettywhitty]

I am in for Session Two - scared as crap - this is my first challenge!! Although it doesn't start until April 1, I'm going to get a head start so I'll have it down pack by then!!

I am going to commit to _1_ sessions of LHCF Bootcamp. My consequence for violating Bootcamp Rules will be no TV for 2 weeks (oh boy!). I am excited to see the hair progress I will make by participating in this challenge!!​

You can tell I'm new at this... here's my picture again!!!

 

[sydwrites]

Hopefully you will show pity on me and still let me join. I've been doing a trial run to see if I can hang, and I know I can do it, especially since you said we can use the cool setting 100% on a blowdryer. I have natural hair and I need some help with my shrinkage to even cornrow it.

I am going to commit to __2__ sessions of LHCF Bootcamp. My consequence for violating Bootcamp Rules will be no clothes or hair products for a month. I am excited to see the hair progress I will make by participating in this challenge!!

I think my pic size is too big so pics in my fotki, http://public.fotki.com/somethinnew/1st-quarter-updates/​

Hey Everyone, just checking in. Although I am late with the pictures, I still started the challenge on time. Unfortunately i am not ready to get this perm clipped yet. If I cut it the front of my hair will only be about 2" unstretched!! I would look crazy! I'm not ready for that yet.

In the meantime in between time, I have been wearing my hair in a beautiful short wig. I've honestly received 20+ complements on it today and I'm geeked!! My natural hair is in corn rows to the back with the edges out just in case I decide to wear my fall. Tomorrow is my shampoo night. I plan on pre-pooing with Coconut Oil (Vatika). Keep your fingers crossed for me. For some reason I'm nervous.

Here is my starting picture. It's not the best, but it will have to work until I get a camera.

I am using my pass for the first session today! I went to the shop and officially received the BC. I had all of the perm cut off my hair, so I'm offically natural!!

I received a Shampoo, DC underhood for 35 minutes normal setting, a blow dry and light press for an accurate trim. Here are additional beginning pictures.

 

[Body&Shine]

HI!!! I am a bootcamp member!!! I was wondering when the first check in date? Is it April 1st? I need to know so I can plan a trip to the salon. I would like to have salon hair in my progress pictures!!!

I completed all three sessions of bootcamp last year and made good progress. I just didn't post progress pictures like I should have. I am trying to do better at it this time though.

Thanks for the reply!!

P.S. Better yet just let me know all four check in dates and then I can plan all 4 appointments. That would be even better!!!

***I see on the first page of this thread the dates for the sessions. Sorry!!! for this post. I should have just reviewed the bootcamp rules.*****
