2008 LHCF Bootcamp!!!!

[ChrissyB]

I am going to commit to 2 sessions of LHCF Bootcamp. My consequence for violating Bootcamp Rules will be an extra 20 minutes on the treadmill plus 200 situps. I'm striving for great hair by the summer! I am excited to see the hair progress I will make by participating in this challenge!! My starting pic is attached, it's the same as my avatar.​

I am going to commit to 2 sessions of LHCF Bootcamp. My consequence for violating Bootcamp Rules will be no new products for a month and no lhcf for a month. I am excited to see the hair progress I will make by participating in this challenge!!

I figure I can always increase to 3 or 4 after the first 2 sessions. My hair is in a weave right now, so I don't have a starting point pic. I have one from June 2007 when I cut my hair to about 2 or 3 inches, but it's grown a bit since then. I promise to post a pic as soon as I get this off my hair, which will be in about a week.

4. Wear Only Protective (Buns, Braids, Twists, Weaves, etc.) or

Low Manipulation (Braidouts, Rollersets, etc.) Styles​

Again, I'm new, so I want to make sure I understand this correctly. Since joining the challenge, I've worn my hair in a bun (I think it's a bun..pony in back..tucked and pinned under?).

My question relates to "lo/no mani"...

I'm spraying my hair nightly with protein..oiling scalp with eo mix and sealing my ends with coconut oil...baggying ends...scarf and bonnet.

In the morning I wake..kind of smoothing the top...satin scrunchie and that's it.

Would that be considered lo or no maintenance?

- when I wash on Friday will there be extreme shedding/matting since I did nothing to my hair during the week?

Just curious as to what I should expect because I've never gone a week without running a comb through my hair

Thanks, ladies, for your responses

 

[discodumpling]

I'm down for 4 sessions of bootcamp. Consequences for violating: 15 extra minutes on my elliptical for a week. I'm very excited about the progress to be made.
These are my starting pics.

December Puff

December Flat Ironed (Maxiglide 1st temp setting)

January 2008. Dry and oiled before a wash.

Oh and this is probably my intro post to LHCF...but i've been here for a bit. I'm ready to play now

Would that be considered lo or no maintenance? Yes, I consider any styling under 5 mins is low mani, but what you are doing sounds great to me.

- when I wash on Friday will there be extreme shedding/matting since I did nothing to my hair during the week? I have no idea, sorry

Just curious as to what I should expect because I've never gone a week without running a comb through my hair I comb my hair during the week with either conditioner in my hair or a really good detangler hair spray.

Thanks, ladies, for your responses

I'm not Brownsuga but I think I can answer your questions (in red) : ) HTH

I would definitely consider that lo mani, esp. since you're bunning. Applying regular maintenance products is expected.

I don't think you'll experience any more shedding than you would if you were combing daily. Probably less.

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
5. Low Manipulation (Braidouts, Rollersets, etc.) Styles

I'm in, I'm always late The pic is below. This will be the first time I do all these things together. I did them one by one (first, I cut out heat, second I started low manipulation) but I feel doing them all together will take me to the next level.

LOL! Thanks girl. I hated to do it, but it was necessary and I felt liberated afterwards. Felt even better when I actually started to get some hair growing on my head. Have you seen tetbelle's avatar? She is showing off her extra cute short cut too.
