2009 LHCF BOOTCAMP (Ladies get READY)

I have little to no idea what this challenge is like b/c this is my 1st year on LHCF. However I'm liking the sound of "Bootcamp" - hence, I'm in and can't wait to hear/learn more!

1. What is your purpose for joining this challenge? To have the prettiest, longest, healthiest head of hair i can manage and to be consistent w/ my regiment. :grin:

2. What is your current hair length? I'm in btwn SL and APL.

3. Are you Natural or Relaxed? I'm transitioning (can't yet decide if I'm going to take the plunge to natural or stay relaxed.:rolleyes:)

4. What are your hair goals for 2009? Fuller, longer, healthy BSL hair by Dec. 09. (...maybe i'll keep relaxing??)

5. What is your hair reggie?
Washing: 1 co-wash per wk and 1 full wash per week. I pre-poo w/ heat and DC w/ heat for both.

Sleeping: Always in silk or satin; cross-wrap, pin-curl or braided pony.

Your definitely one of my inspirations for bootcamp! Your progress is amazing. Wish you had a fotki :look:
 
Subscribing!!! I cannot wait to join also. Thanks TriniStar for being the new facilitator and Brownsugarflygirl, we appreciate all of your hard work for the 2008 LHCF Bootcamp. Your hair is gorgeous!!! I will return to post my responses to the previous questions.
 
Okay, so I didn't even get to really participate in LHCF Bootcamp '08, but I am here and ready for '09 baby!!

Seeing that I just recently decided to truly limit my product selections and to ultimately love and nature my hair, here is my response:

1. What is your purpose for joining this challenge?
To gain overall health and longevity with my hair. I need more manageable, softer, longer stronger hair, that doesn't snap!

2. What is your current hair length?
Just above my shoulders.

3. Are you Natural or Relaxed?
Natural 4a/4b mix

4. What are your hair goals for 2009?

*To have APL by Dec 31, 2009
*Stronger, more healthier hair
*Soft beautiful hair
*To have found the staple products my hair needs
*To stop worrying about my hair, and just keep on growing
*To stick to my regimen/good habits for hair care.



5. What is your hair reggie?

*Right now I just pre-poo sometimes with Olive Oil, or Castor Oil, then I shampoo (only if I have gunk on my hair), if not I just do a Wash with conditioner, then Deep condition for 30 minutes, next I rinse and apply a leave-in or a moisturizer, followed by oil, then proceed to style with shea butter and or a very moisturizing hair product. I wear twists/twist-outs/cornrows/braid-outs/plaits and puffs.

So I am ready to achieve results with this challenge!! :yep:
