2009 LHCF BOOTCAMP

[productjunkie814]

I thought I had signed up for this, but I guess I didn't, lol. I am in the Twist for Growth Challenge also, so it makes this a little easier I guess.

I am going to commit to 4 sessions of LHCF Bootcamp. My consequence for violating Bootcamp Rules will be no peanut M&M's for a week. Lord I love my peanut M&M's...

Checking in, still hanging in there, I haven't taken my free pass to trim yet, i'm gone to post a thread on rather or not I need a trim or how much I need trim, but I get my relaxer tommorow, so I will post hair pics this weekend in that thread.

Just checking in because I know I don't post as often as I should. I have been sticking to the rules lately, as I have not blowed dried since going to see Obama get sworn in back in Jan. I have been wearing protective styles and keeping up with my dc every week. I have been dusting every month because before I started the challenge, I was unaware of how much the cold Albany weather was killing my ends. Because of this, I probably will not notice as much growth on the first length check. So, although I have been signed up since day one, my starting length will be whatever length I am at at the start of the second section.

just checking in, used my cheat pass today, i blow- dried and flat ironed for an event, still staying in top of the rules..

 

[beans4reezy]

I am very proud of myself!! One session of boot camp down and I have used NO heat on my hair!! Not even the hooded domes for my roller sets!! I will have to use of my passes though in three weeks for my sister's wedding to blow dry and falt iron my hair (not happy about that AT ALL) but I will use my pass to take a progress pic to post. I'm very excited about this challenge and even more excited about my results....

Here is my happy dance:

Reese's Update:

Well ladies, its been a struggle stretching my ear length hair. I stretched for the first time for 9 weeks. I did use heat (December and Feb) I know, I'm soo bad. But, for the most part I've stayed in braids. For this next session i will be braided up also. I wash once a week, moisturize twice daily, redo my edges every two weeks and apply my own growth mix (MN,MTG, AVJ and coconut oil). I plan to cut down on my heat use drastically this next session. My hair is long enough to roller set now! yah!! Sometimes it feels like I'll never reach SL though

I've included some progress pics for this session

Just checking in....I am holding onto the rules and doing well, but I must say that the absolutely no heat regimen that I was trying to hold onto does NOT work for my hair. I bonnet dryer is good for sure, but air drying messes up my ends like nobody's business.

They get crunchy IMMEDIATELY UPON DRYING!!! Has anyone else experienced this? I now know what other people mean when they say that their hair "likes" heat. Mine definitely does...at least some heat. If I were not here in this hard water, blow drying once per week and protective styling for the remainder would not be too much at all. I am grateful to have learned that a bonnet dryer is good enough and will protect my hair even more.

THANK YOU, LHCF!!!!

I dusted last week. My hair seems to be really happy to be out of the twists.

I have a couple more weeks before a new relaxer and then braids again until around June....

How is everyone else doing?

Blessings in Christ to us all!

OK.....just checking in. Month #2 of the first session. I have not used my pass as yet. I am saving it for my touchup and length check at the end of session #1 : March 30th.

Still washing 2 times per week, still DC'ing with heat each and every wash. Still bunning daily. My ng is a veritable forest, but I am looking forward to my march progress.

HHG ladies.!!!

 

[Wildchild453]

I've been doing low mani and the occasional bun. I'm over twists so I haven't done but one or two sets since the new year started

 

[Aggie]

Checking in... and still going very strong. I am currently wearing a sew in for about 6 weeks then I might get braids next but not sure yet though.

 

[TCatt86]

Checking in, I'm doing pretty good, haven't had to use a pass, my hair has been twisted or in a twistout for pretty much the whole time.

 

[Calia001]

i finished my stretch,a week early :-\
my hair was waay too crazy to wait till march till relax, ( i was stretching since october)
when i got my hair done i had to clip my ends and for some reason even though i washed with all the right stuff and i conditioned with all the right stuff my hair was still being unruly. I must say, the no heat part of the challenge really helped

my progress is in my sig

 

[Moneek71]

Hello everyone,
Though I read all of the posts that I receive via email, I don't post as often as I should. As for the progress of my hair, I think it's doing okay. I can't tell if I am maintaining or moving forward. I have not used any passes and I started a weekly routine back in January. My routine consisted of co-washing my hair twice a week ( Wed and Sun); one of the washes allows me to deep condition and work on my hairs excessive porosity and the other wash allows me to do a protein treatment.

For the past two weeks I have been a little lazy doing only one wash a week. I started getting tired of the bun for a while, so realizing that when my hair dries it gets a little curly I decided to go with the puffy curly look. I have permed hair or maybe from what I have learned on LHCF I have a textlax or texlax, either way, I got tired of that after about three weeks. So now, I am back to the bun. I am still only doing one wash a week, but I plan to get back to twice a week this week. I will post a picture later today or tomorrow when I take my hair down, I just thought that I better post because I had the time.

P.S. I really enjoy reading the posts. I am learning a lot from everyone...Thanks a MILLION!:notworthy

Is it too late to join the last 3 sessions?

 

[SlantedEyezMiss2003]

Ok, so I just read someone else is starting in April with the second session, so I'm going to join, and stop in the 1st session of the 2010 LHCF boot camp, I want the full benefits. So I'm going to do 3 sessions for this year and 1 for next year.......

I am going to commit to _3___ sessions of LHCF Bootcamp. My consequence for violating Bootcamp Rules will be no LHCF activity for one month. I am excited to see the hair progress I will make by participating in this challenge!!

 

[aa9746]

No rules broken.

 

[Everything Zen]

I'm thinking about joining in April will go from there

 

[Everything Zen]

Are there any daily or almost daily cowashers in the challenge? I just wondered if you could get into trouble with deep condish overload. Usually I wash 4-5 days a week if not more.

 

[Black Hoya Chick]

i would be doing perfect but i will be trimming in a few weeks so i will keep ya'll posted on my slip-up LOL.

i cowash everyday and love it. no problems. i just clarify with baking soda before i deep condition to avoid over-conditioning

 

[Mom23]

I'm still going strong and I can't believe it's March already!!

 

[Lanea87]

2 weeks post and still going strong. I wore my hair str8 for a week and curlformers last week about to curlformer my hair again.

 

[likewtr4chklit]

It's march and I've used two of my passes. One for heat and one for my mini-chop on Feb. 14. Otherwise I'm doing well with air drying and rollersets.

 

[Golden*Brown]

I haven't used my pass or broken any rules so far.

 

[shae101s]
