Well I've scanned through this entire thread and I've seen people joining along the way. So I'm gonna join too.
I am going to commit to 3 sessions of LHCF Bootcamp. My consequence for violating Bootcamp Rules will be not buying hair products for 2 weeks . I am excited to see the hair progress I will make by participating in this challenge!!
I will be back to post a starting pic. I hope I can figure out how to resize. This is 85% air dried hair. It is from about 3 weeks ago.
OMG, how did I ever not see this and sign up for it? Can I still sign up for the challenge? Timing's perfect - I could start in April and commit to 3 sessions. Please, pretty please, let me in???? ;-)

Okay, that water fast is something I need to do anyway but been putting it off because I just do, lol. Must stay on track though so when I do it it's not punishment but rather a blessed opportunity to detox...
Here's my starting point pictures: Hope to fit more hair into that ponytail and that my front hair reaches my top lip at the end of this session.
Okay, so I'm in, so far so good, HOWEVER, on the 30th, I hennaed my hair and went on to wear a shrunken wash and go for 2 days - BIG MISTAKE! My hair became a tangled mess, and being beyond 4C, it took all my will and patience not to be rough but couldn't help ripping hairs apart at times. Started detangling on the 1st and continued on the 2nd as I decided to twist as I go. I still have a section at the back to finish off but will handle it when I'm ready for it. i feel I may have to straighten and have a good trim at some point but time will tell. We have a pass each for both of these, right? I'll see how my hair looks in a couple of weeks or more when I get these twists out - if I have loads of splits and knots then I will need a good trim. If I can deal with it, I'll just dust frequently. If I get a trim I'll straighten so it's even. These past few days have been the worst I've had with my hair since my journey started. Moral of this post - Never wear your hair loose and shrunken Jac! Never again!!!!! I'm angry, my hair is angry and it's a lose, lose situation. Anyway, back on track now, just need to get those 4 braids at the back into small twists and I'll begin loving my hair again (disliking her so much right now, sigh).
Hi Jax,
From one natural to another, if your hairs dries before you have had a chance to detangle it, just wet it again and put more conditioner in it. Massage this through and then gently detangle your hair in the shower with your fingers and a wide tooth comb. Rinse the conditioner out and you will have soft, tangle free hair that is much easier to work with.
I saw your pics and I am amazed at your results. Keep up the good hair growing regimen.
Okay I promised that I would come back and post pics of my cornrows that my niece did for me, but I gatta tell ya ladies, my new growth is so thick, the braids look a little frazzled, I don't know if that's a word, lol...
Aggie, your cornrows look fabulous! Your niece did a wonderful job!
Aggie - I am diggin' those cornrows !!! Girl that second pose is something else - lookin like somebody about to be dealt with!!
