I'm progressing nicely. Staying on track is not a problem for me. I used my heat pass on June 14th. I used the Sabino MB, which I am kind of disappointed in. It's trial and error, but I have to wait until the next session's pass, (Sept.2) to try again. Anyway, I washed it out in 2 days, and I'm back to my puff.

I did take pictures, but I don't know how to post attachments. I compared the growth to my previous pictures in my camera. I got maybe around or under 2 inches since February's last measurement. I wanted more length and I attribute the slow growth (or lack of retention) due to my twisting and ripping through my hair while trying to detangle.

I've adjusted my regimen to avoid this this go around.

Actually, that isn't bad at all. The average growth for a year is 6". I don't know if you've seen this ruler chart before, but here it is just
in case. If you have seen it, then I apologize for including it again.

i just wanted to say WELCOME to all the new campers (or whatever we're called...lol)! yeah i'm new to this too...but it's an easy challenge that i believe will have great rewards.

:trampolin

in addition, i wanted to update...i'm in this as well as 'APL in 08' so to make sure i reach that really lofty goal i just finished putting in a set of kinky twists AND i ordered megatek, so now i really AM in a protective style. don't know how i will do the mandatory 'DC with every poo' in these things but i will figure it out.

hope everything is going smoooooothly for all of you, and HHG!

I'm feeling a little bit stunned right now. I don't know whether to or .

My one-year Hardcore C&G challenge anniversary is coming up on August 9, so I wanted to see how long it has been since I've been a part of the Bootcamp challenge. I went back to the old threads and saw that I first joined on Nov. 2, 2006 (beginning in January 2007) for the 2007 challenge. This means I've been bootcamping for almost 20 months!

I haven't worn my out in over a year, and I don't know what to do with it even if I wanted to. I'm very please with my dedication, but, since summer 2000, I've put alot of energy, time, and money into trying to achieve a hair goal that I still haven't achieved after 8 years. I don't even know my exact length at this point because I haven't seen my hair out in some weeks.


ETA: Boy, I sure was whining in the above post, . What I'd failed to mention is that my hair is the longest it has ever been in it's "natural" state. Ever. A few months ago, I wore small plaits under my wig, and I was able to put all the plaits into a ponytail -- a lifetime first! It was an awesome experience. My hair is growing long, healthy, and strong, and I'm happy and grateful for what I've learned from this challenge.

SO I have been taking the greatest care of my hair lately, I tried to see what a flat iron would do, but I've been having lots of night sweats from not feeling so good so my hair now looks like a hot mess. So, in punishment for not doing my hair right I've been having multiple bad hair days, which for me is punishment enough. My sickness is subsiding and today I have to go back to work, making those caramel lattes . But I decided not to flat iron my hair until next year. Other than for special occasions and it's appropriate. But I'll just stick to braid outs.

Anyways, I'm bunning for the rest of the year. 4 months, so see how that helps my hair retain some length. At the end of the year, it'll be a good 12 mos of transition to get rid of dead "trained" ends. With an once a month braid out. So in total = 4 months of buns + 4 braid out days = ridiculous hair, yes?

i used a heat pass, sort of. i very lightly blew out my roots after my rollerset, and i flat ironed them on low in a few spots.

Session 3 is going good for me, however, I have violated. My punishment is not buying any hair accessories for a month, which I won't have a problem in not doing. I gave myself a much needed trim in July and I just got finished flat ironing my hair with my maxi. This is only the 2nd time I have used direct heat(still haven't used my blowdryer, but used my hooded dryer in July for a botched rollerset ) this year, I am so proud of myself! I washed my hair last night and let it air dry in braids overnight. I did my shopping this morning because I knew it wasn't dry yet. It was dry when I came home. I had no intention of flat ironing, but I was bored and done with my housework and grocery shopping so I figured what the heck. I then flat ironed each section in each braid. I don't plan to use anymore heat until the last day of 2008, for a length check. LHCF Bootcamp all the way!

 

[Aggie]

Oooooh I can't remember what my punishment is for myself and can't find the page where I list it but I don't need it anyway. I have been very good and still wearing my wigs as a protective style.

 

[Simply_Kelz]

Sorry. Fell off already. Going back to my original plan of doing this challenge 100% in 2009.

 

[ricochet]

Session 3, so far so good. Still airdrying, wearing braidouts, twistouts and buns and moisturizing. Low maintenance pays off, I can't believe it's almost been a year!

 

[Aggie]

Still going strong. I am wearing my hair in cornrows and a wig over them during the day while I'm out of the house. At home, I just wear my satin cap over them.

 

[Honey.Love]

Hi everyone! Is there gonna be a bootcamp challenge for 2009? When does it start? I'm so anxious to participate. God knows my hair needs it!
