Updated ADOPT-A-NEWBIE Challenge

I have to say Keclee23 is on top of her A game. I couldnt of been paired up w/ a better person!!! She has mapped out everything for my sisters and I. We will hit our goal length in no time w/ her. Very understanding and knows her stuff. She is writing up reggies for the three of us based off of what we do already and what she thinks will help. This was a great idea...cant wait to see results from everyone!!!
 
For the Newbies:

Hair Type: 4A ( I think)
Relaxed / Natural: Relaxed/Texlaxed
Starting Length: Collarbone
Hair Goal: 1st) Healthy and thick full APL 2nd) Healthy and thick full BSL
Current Challenges: HYH til Christmas, APL (6 mos) July to December

Anything you don't like to do: nothing immediately comes to mind
 
This thread just makes my heart feel all warm and fuzzy. I'm looking forward to seeing all the progress of the lil sis's.:yay:

A BIG shout out to all of the big sis's. I admire you all for your commitment to helping the newbies, and not so newbies. Great job ladies! :rosebud: :rosebud:

:blush: Thank You! I am glad to be paired up with such wonderful girls! All of them have been very patient with my mailing of their products. They all have been open and willing to my suggestions, which makes things like butta! So, please believe I will be praying for tail length for all my LHCF fellow hair sorority newbies!

Swing them pony tails ladies....;)

Both...

My regime for my natural hair sucks. Yet, I have a good routine for taking care of your hair under your weave. My vitamin regime has been good at promoting growth as well.

Yes it will. I'll go update the challenge info post.
 
I totally missed this challenge. I know I probably will go on the waiting list. I will wait. This is such a great idea!
For the Newbies:

Hair Type: 4 a/b
Relaxed / Natural: Relaxed
Starting Length: Shoulder
Hair Goal: Brastrap
Current Challenges: APL in '08
Current Problems: Breaking, thinning and extreme dryness
Anything you don't like to do: weaves
 
I would love to join the challenge as well!! I'm a newbie...a COMPLETE newbie. I just started taking care and doing my own hair about a few weeks ago as still feel I have a long way to go! I'm not sure of my hair type, I'm relaxed and have full neck length hair (or shoulder length...?? here's my fotki http://public.fotki.com/Mrs-Charlie/ PW:airbornewifey). My first goal is APL and ultimate is BSL...
 
Sign-up's for Newbies are now closed. We still need more Big Sisters!!

Please check my first post for July 9th updates.

Thank you.

I wanna be a Big Sister!

Hair Type: 3c/4a (maybe neither, I'm confused by hair typing)

Relaxed / Natural: Natural with a little color (Bigen, as it doesn’t change my texture)

Anything you feel you are great at: Bagging, deep conditioning, protective styling, mastering haircare with cheapie products before investing in the "big bucks" products, hair strengthening, listening (a.k.a. reading) and patience.

Ground rules you feel strongly about: Keeping a journal is a must as a newbie!! Almost no heat during the challenge. You must graduate to that level after successfully maintaining a healthy state. Commitment to protective styles and finding what works for you (gradually). Phony ponies or wigs are okay, but I’m not as knowledgeable with weaves.

ETA (edited to add for the newbies):
My newbie must be willing to do a little homework each week. Syllabus will be given :lol: I'm not kidding either.
