*2012* Crown & Glory BootCamp Challenge!!!

[SkySurfer]

Still in my twists, hope to keep them in till the end of December, or even my birthday at the end of January, we'll see. I get bored soooo easily!

 

[Geminigirl]

I really want to join this but I can't see myself hiding my hair all year. I will be watching this thread and PS for awhile. I already plan to do another set of braids. I plan to start beauty school in Jan so maybe keeping my hair braided will be for the best but ugh, It takes FOREVER. Cheap and worth it but UGH!

TGIF ladies,

1 week in my plaits. I did a cowash yesterday morning. Planning on keeping these plaits until dec 2. Ohh I'm hiding plaits under a wig, no hair left out.

 

[PureSilver]

I'll participate from the sidelines. I already protective style since my last relaxer Oct 09. It has gotten me to 2'' above APL. I'm very lazy to post progress pics and updates so it will be a sideline commitment for me.

I go hardcore in PStyling and i'm really hoping to reach BSL stretched.(no heat)

Best of luck to all participants.

 

[nakialovesshoes]

I've gotten off to an eraly start and got kinky twists done yesterday. I'm gonna keep these in until the official start of this challenge.

Evallusion So... you didn't take any pics?

Just joking with you Evallusion. Hi ladies - just checking in. I get antsy when I have braids. It drives me mad that I can't get to my hair. But I keep telling myself that I can't give up. PSing really helps my growth/retention rate & I'm on a WL mission for my 40th. So if anyone needs encouragement, I'm here to say don't give up!

 

[CrissieD]

I am really bad with following up with update pick but I'll try
Anywho here is my starting point. I want to be WL next year.

[WhippedButterCreme]

I get back into braids the 12th, I'm super excited!! My hair is bsb length and I'm hoping by may (3 year hair journey anniversary) that I'll be mbl by then! I see women with braids and I'm getting soooo impatient now! lol!

 

[Firstborn2]

Hi Ladies, just check in, my braids need to be redone, but I'm trying to hold on for another 2weeks. Everything is going good, keeping my hair moisturized and ends protected. I'll post my starting pic sometime in dec...Happy Hair Growing Ladies

 

[fletgee]

I'm in!

But I got a question.........

In doing Crown and Glory do I have to add extentions to my braids or can I just braid??

I don't wear my hair out. I wear a wig cap and a scarf when I go outside.

I think you can also do this, as long as you keep your hair protected as you say you will do, as well as hydrated and nourished.

Count me in. I don't have a camera. i will do tje bes that I can to get shots.

 

[BrookeLynn]

I'm in. My hair is in 2 strand twists 90% of the time anyway.

 

[jayjaycurlz]

I'm in too! I need to re-up on PS-ing for 2012. I mostly wear wash n' gos with KT + KCCC but its getting cold now so I need to change this up. I will post starting pics and reggie in December. I am about 2 inches away from APL flat ironed - my goal is to make APL and beyond in 2012.

Here are my starting pics:

Count me in

 

[SkySurfer]

I baggied in my twists with no product last night, scalp feels very supple, hair feels hydrated

 

[Geminigirl]

I found a wig that I want after I do my braids so that will help me go a little longer.

excuse my typos i hate it as much as you.

 

[Chameleonchick]

I'm in. This is a method that works for me. Stress free and easy.

 

[collegeDoll]

hey has anyone been successful with daily scalp rinsing while in braids? i use the stocking cap method to wash/condition/cowash so im not concerned about tangling, manipulation or messing up my braids....i use a growth aid on my scalp nightly and i was lookin into daily rinsing in the mornings

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

I get bad matting and tangling if my hair ends up wet under braids. So I only wash my scalp with an applicator bottle with diluted shampoo.
