2009 LHCF BOOTCAMP (Ladies get READY)

I am in!


What is your purpose for joining this challenge? To provide the motivation & discipline I need grow and retain a full 6 inches this year.

2. What is your current hair length? 5-6 inches... somewhere around my long neck? :grin:

3. Are you Natural or Relaxed? Natural

4. What are your hair goals for 2009? APL by the end of the year; healthy-looking hair.

5. What is your hair reggie?
I change it by season, but my winter reggie is:
-Twists 2 weeks at a time
-CO-wash weekly
-Shampoo & DC every two weeks (between sets of twists)
-moisturize 2x daily
 
1. What is your purpose for joining this challenge?
I want to continue to grow healthy hair and not sacrafice health for poor quality length and I want to learn how to better retain all my healthy hair once I trim off the remaining mess(about an inch or two left)
2. What is your current hair length?
collar bone length
3. Are you Natural or Relaxed?
Relaxed
4. What are your hair goals for 2009?
I would love to see APL or as close as I can get to it, without using any growth aides. I don't want to force my hair to grow more than it will naturally with good healthy hair care.
5. What is your hair reggie?

  • I wash once a week with Tresemme moisture restore
  • Condition with GVP(humectress) and GVP(K-Pak) alternating between the two each week
  • I relax dependent upon what my hair needs. When I find tons of breakage at the demarcation line, I relax--usually between 8 and 10 weeks.
  • I plan to flat iron when my ng gets out of control in order to maintain longer stretches(I will usually only do this once a week or every two weeks though)
  • I plan to continue to trim off this bad hair from my pre hair-conscious days.(about 1-2" left)
  • I want to find more creative protective styles since bunning gives me headaches even when it isn't tight.

My staples are my Tresemme shampoo, GVP products, NTM daily deep condish, cantu shea butter leave in, tx silk drops, aphogee pro-vit leave in, vidal sasson leave in, and occasionally lacio lacio
 
I want in....
1. What is your purpose for joining this challenge?
I need a support group so that I can stay on track. I want thicker, healthier APL by June09.

2. What is your current hair lenght?
SL I guess I could say.

3. Are you Natural or Relaxed?
Relaxed gal.

4. What are your hair goals for 2009?
Hell I would like to be BSL, but I need to make it to APL first. LOL

5. What is your hair reggie?
My Current Regimen:
-Relax every 4 months
-I use Cream of Nature shampoo and conditioner (moisture) & Aphogee shampoo and conditioner (protein).
-Air dry my hair.
-I limit the use of the direct heat ( flat-irons, blowdryers, etc) for when it
is needed which is usually every 4 months after relaxer.
-I wear satin wraps to sleep to protect my hair at night.
-Moisturize daily if I can.
-Trim ends as needed (2x a year).
-Dust every 2 months.
-Use a clarify shampoo every 2 weeks because I use lots of topical growth aides on my scalp and dont want buildup.
-After my hair is air dryed I then proceed to care for my hair and ends. Using coconut oil on the length, or a cream moisturizer sealing with WGHO/EVOO mixture.
-I try to wear protective hair styles 24/7. Mostly my LF....
