REMINDER: LHCF BOOTCAMP 07 IS NOW IN SESSION!!

[brownsugarflyygirl]

Alright LADIES!! This is your OFFICIAL reminder that BOOTCAMP HAS BEGUN!!

That means 120, 240, or 360 days with:

NO DIRECT HEAT: No curling irons, flat irons, marcels, handheld blowdryers, pressing combs, etc. You CAN get those nice rollersets and deep conditioning with a hooded dryer though...gotta keep it healthy

NO TRIMMING: Leave those scissor happy stylists alone and reach your length goals. So drop the scissors and only DUST as needed to maintain hair health. For the newbies, DUSTING is searching through individual strands for split ends and snipping them off. There are many threads on DUSTING available for more detailed instructions.

DEEP CONDITION WITH EVERY WASH!!! As another member stressed, regular conditioners are not deep conditioners, so find you a DEEP conditioner and keep it on for an extended period of time and/or use a heating cap and hooded dryer. We gotta keep these strands healthy from the inside out.

AND OF COURSE YOUR OWN PERSONAL CHALLENGES!!!

If you have any pratical questions about the challenge, please post them in this thread. All the ladies participating can add knowledge to help everyone be sucessful with this challenge.

HAPPY HAIR GROWING LADIES!!!

Note: THIS IS NOT A SIGN-UP THREAD....if you want to find out what Bootcamp is or decide to join see the thread titled LHCF BOOTCAMP 2007 for that. Thanks!

Angie, I feel that way too but it will be all worth it in the end

 

[prettypuff1]

girl do you see how many challenges i am in. .....lol

 

[brownsugarflyygirl]

AddyDoll - If you wash twice a week with shampoo, I think a deep conditioning wouldnt hurt it. There are several ladies on the board with gorgeous hair who do this. However, it depends on your hair and what conditioner you are using for DC. I have no hard line on this for BootCamp...if you DC at least once a week that will sufficiently cover the challenge requirements. You could always alternate a moisturizing DC with a mild protein DC at every wash. Ultimately, I think you should do what makes your hair happy.

Reporting for duty. Wearing roller set, at times pinning back up, no heat, no trims and drinking my water.

 

[prettypuff1]

[fallback]

Just checking in and bunning all the way!!

 

[tijay]

I'm rocking my phony bun...and my husband's keeping me in check too! I started practicing my no heat air dyring method last month...so I think I may have a shot of making it

 

[KEWLKAT103]

It's my first challenge and I'm so excited!
I DC'd on the 1st and I'm rockin a bun today.

What length are you currently at now? I'm not even APL yet, but i'm also claiming BSL by the end of this year. We can do this!
QUESTION TO BROWNSUGARFLYYGIRL: Are we also going to post updates in this thread or maybe another one?

 

[jtsupanova]

Im in braids so I can not deep condition every wash (it would cause severe build up) it that ok
When I take the braids down I will deep co regularly

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

Thanks for the reminder! I am about to pre-poo and let it sit while I hang up these new curtains. I'll be putting my hair in french braids once I'm done pooing/DCing/and airdrying and stuff.
