2010 LHCF BOOTCAMP CHALLENGE

I am going to commit to session 4 of LHCF Bootcamp. My consequence for violating Bootcamp Rules will be no meat for 2 weeks. I am excited to see the hair progress I will make by participating in this challenge!!

No heat (flat iron or dryer).
No trim after next relaxer, so conserve ends.
Only no manipulation, protective styles.
Moisturize every night and wrap.

Checking in: 1 heat pass used for session 1, 1 heat pass for session 2, no rules broken so far in session 3
 
Checking in. NO rules broken. I have been dcing more often and my hair is loving it. I will continue to do this throughout the winter:)
 
Been going strong with my twists! Took the ones from May out in late June and retwisted mid July (it has been a while since I updated). This past Wednesday I took out those, washed conditioned and wore out for a couple of days. I put new twists in last night. This week I also bought some of the Organic Root Stimulator Fertilizing Serum. I'm hoping to get an inch a month (4 inches by December).

As far as progress, with having cut hair (purposefully and accidentally in other stages) I am pretty much back where I started as far as length goes. This makes me both happy and upset. It was about an inch past my shoulders (after being cut) but now its back to an inch above APL (in about 2 months)!!! There's still plenty of damage, but 4 inches will allow mw to cut that off without a hitch!
 
Just giving a little update. Did a length check today as I took my hair out of my bun and it seems like my hair has gone from CBL to just on my "girls" when I pull some strands forward, if you know what I mean. I can't pull my hair towards my back without help.

For some reason I can't take it in and am almost not able to believe it has grown that much. My afro is fuller. But I am thinking maybe I haven't checked properly. Anyway that may make me APL (hopefully) but I am gonna do a proper length check Dec 31st down my back :grin: Looking forward to it :spinning:

No rules broken last month, but my hair is making me feel really depressed. I did all the "good" things to my hair and body this year, but I still feel my hair progress is minimal at best. I've known for quite a while that my hair grows slow, but this is ridiculous. My mini braids look the exact same length they did last year. I may be counting my eggs before they hatch I admit, but still, my hair is on some other stuff right now.

I will definitely finish out bootcamp though.
 
Though I was adhering to the rules of Bootcamp; but, b/c I was stretching my curl touch-ups, I suffered a setback. Now I'm growing my curl out & straightening every other week to avoid any more breakage @ the demarcation line.

I'm going to withdraw from this challenge for now. Maybe I can start back in January. I plan to get braids in October after my class reunion & I'm going to try & keep getting them redone for a 6 month period. I did see MBL briefly but had to trim back to above my bra strap due to the damage. Good luck to all of you ladies.
 
I am going to commit to session 4 of LHCF Bootcamp starting October 1st. My consequence for violating Bootcamp Rules will be no carbs for a week. I am excited to see the hair progress I will make by participating in this challenge!! My starting pic is my avatar!

My starting pic is in my siggy and I plan to wig it up through the winter months and do the "Deep moisture" method trademarked by LadyPaniolo. That is all.
 
Session 3 is almost over...no rules broken. I'll be taking the braids out next week, but will still wear protective styles.

Twists again...bored with them, but after I took the last ones out I noticed a good amount of growth! This will be the last time I have twists in before I straighten my hair in November!
 
I have to completely drop out of bootcamp. The protective style I choose for the last session ended up causing a major setback.

But good luck to the rest of you ladies.
 
I've been away from the board for a while hence the lack of check ins. I've been consistently protective styling though. Lemme go check the rules to make sure I haven't done anything else dodgy...

ETA: Whew, I'm all good. My hair is doing very well. Go Team Bootcamp!
