Due to popular demand ...here is the sign-up thread for 2008 LHCF Bootcamp!!! Click HERE to view some of the 2007 Bootcamp results. For 2007 vets, please note the changes in the number of sessions and rule structure.

Everyone, please include your STARTING POINT PICTURE with your sign-up post. Thanks!​

LHCF BOOTCAMP 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 2008. ​

Here are the RULES:
1. No Direct Heat (Hooded Dryer is acceptable)
2. No Trimming (Dusting is allowed)
3. Deep Condition w/Every Shampoo Wash
4. Wear Only Protective (Buns, Braids, Twists, Weaves, etc.) or
Low Manipulation (Braidouts, Rollersets, etc.) Styles​

This challenge will have 4 sessions.
Session One: January 1 - March 31
Session Two: April 1 - June 30
Session Three: July 1- September 30
Session Four: October 1 - December 15​

Those who make it through all 4 sessions will reap the greatest hair reward!!​

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.
ONLY ONE EXCUSE!!! <---- My mean face​

CONSEQUENCES 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.

ACCOUNTABILITY: Throughout the challenge, we will post monthly updates.

Since this is basically what I do already, this will be no biggie for me. It will be fun to quarterly have the main starter of this challenge have us post pics, so we and others can see where we're at!!!

the pic in the link above was taken 12/25/07. I think that's a good starting point to see what will happen for this year. After cutting so much off and doing protective styling most of this year (minus 7 trims )I didn't do to bad with retention. I really need to not trim off so much though when I do trim. Plus it's really cool to see my shrinkage in action! This photo was taken with no product in my hair. I had just rinsed out my henna and dc tx. Happy retaining and growing ladies!!!! Can't wait to see your updates!!!

[foxieroxienyc]

I didnt post a start up pic, nor did I say which of the two terms I would commit to... I'm going to commint to ALL FOUR now... I've finally weened myself off of the flat iron, and I havent touched a curling iron in I don't know how long! So here's my starting pic and happy hair growing all!

 

[Lute]

Well I'm in.. I actually did a BC... I didnt put in a perm for like more than 4 years but my hair was damage to excessive heat. Dominican blowouts changed the texture of my hair and was breaking like crazy. I learned alot playing with heat like that is like russian roulette. But Its my fault cause I didnt DC enough, or asked them to put any heat protectants in my hair.

So I decided to start fresh when i asked my mom to help me cut it but she refused to and clipped only the ends. Went up to my room, took the scissors again and chopped everything off. Was in so much shock... very freeing experience... I dont think I would have the balls to do it again. I still have the locks of hair in a bag in my drawer. (MUST HIDE THE EVIDENCE)
Ran out the house before she could question me again and got my hair braded as planned.

I am going to commit to _4___ sessions of LHCF Bootcamp. My consequence for violating Bootcamp Rules will be ___no more video games/mmorpg's for a 6 months____________. I am excited to see the hair progress I will make by participating in this challenge!!

I should've taken the side and back view but this is the photo I took at the salon on December 27th

Quick question though. Those who BC and then put braids did you follow the c&g method. To keep the dirt that piles up in the braid out of the hair. Did your braids fall out? Washing my hair often worries me. I usually wash my hair once a month (bad idea) or to the point it smells bad.

I did exactly what you did in Nov...and I didn't wash until a month later (nasty I know) but none of my braids fell out...I'm not familiar with the C&G method so I guess that means no, I didn't follow it.

Hi Ladies,

I decided to join, but this is my first opportunity to post. I initially thought that this challenge was too hardcore for me, but LCHF hasn't let me down so for so I'm going to give it a go. Please see my "before" pics in my fotki (I couldn't attach them to this post - pw in profile). I'm looking forward to this challenge, and I plan on persevering through all four sessions. My goal for LHCF Bootcamp 2008 is to retain length so that I achieve APL for my longest layer, and collarbone for my shortest layer. Here we go!

 

[SkeeWeeTPie]

P.S. My punishment for violating the rules is no chocolate for a week.
