i used a blowdryer to stretch my hair out for twists
i wont use this method anymore, though
i'll just do banding and let it dry naturally
when i re-do them
i'll be keeping these twists in for 6 weeks
wont be using heat (of any kind) until december
hope everyone's doing well!!!

I am super late too but...as you all know, I am a bit of a lurker but I am going to do my best to be a lil more active with the board than I have been in the past. I hope it's not too late to officially sign up, even though I have already started the challenge before I knew it had a name
. I hope my sign up is accepted. I hope to be an inspiration to those who have grown their hair and chopped it off out of boredom and changes in life events.I am going to commit to 4 sessions of LHCF Bootcamp. My consequence for violating Bootcamp Rules will be no hair accessory shopping for a month. I am excited to see the hair progress I will make by participating in this challenge!!
See my starting point in my siggy (I don't know how to actually post a pic in a message yet but I am learning.)
**Update**Well I think I learned how to add the pic...here goes...(previewing first)...I think it worked!

I've been a bad girl. I used my flat iron more than 2x... But I forgot to state that I've resolved to start Boot Camp in session 2. So forgive me, I had to bow to take care of my hair the way I feel I need to right now. I needed practice with Braidouts, twistouts, etc etc. My hair is doing extremely well though, had some growth and retaining so I'm not complaining.
In any case, I'll be joining you ladies again starting in session 2.

Thank goodness for the one freebie pass.

Thank goodness for the one freebie pass.
I used my pass today, because I had a relaxer put in today (I was at 8 weeks, and I REALLY needed it - I was beginning to have breakage), and my substitute stylist (my regular girl is on vacation) used some heat during the styling process. I think what I'm doing is working, though - the stylist was really impressed with how healthy my hair was compared to most of the other ladies that she worked with, and I'm definitely retaining length - APL may be closer than I had anticipated!
I'm enjoying it now, but tomorrow it goes back up into the bun.

I used my pass on Saturday, Jan 19. It did feel good to have my hair down for the first time in almost 3 months, but it went right back up on Sunday.

I used my pass this past weekend. We went out to celebrate my husband's birthday and I wanted to look nice for him, but it's back up and I'm good to go for the rest of the session!
Thanks for asking - I'll be doing my fotki update on Feb. 1 - I'm trying to commit to doing it at the same time each month. (I'm so obsessive-compulsive.)

I used my pass on Saturday to get a relaxer. I haven't taken pics yet but I will. Other than that I have been really good. I was 9 weeks post and had 1.5 new growth. So i am back on track.
I also got my nose pierced this weekend (didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would and Im glad i got it...really cute)

Hi Ladies, check out my fotki for all my protective styling wigs and falls I will be wearing throughout this challenge and the 2008 WIG Challenge. This is so much fun. I haven't had to use any of my passes as yet as I haven't done anything with my hair except wash, treat and deep condition it and returned immediately and happily to my protective styling.
Here's the link to my fotki:-

Please as you stop by, leave a comment letting me know which ones you like. Enjoy!

I'm in for the long haul but any one on here have really fine 4a hair? I do and its only been 5 weeks post relaxer but I'm scared of the two textures (of the NG and my fine strands) causing breakage but I'm trying to avoid that blow dryer (i refuse to give up a pass this early in the game) Any advice? Oh and I just bought ome aphogee 2 in 1 protein - I heard that will stop breakage... is it true?

Checking in Ladies!
So far so good. I wore my hair out for a week
and paid dearly for it with many broken ends. I'm braided back up for at least the next three weeks. I'll be following my usual regimine of co-washing or rinsing & oiling daily.

Hi Ladies, just posting an end of month update. So far so good. I've only been using protective styles; gator clipping / and bunning. It seems my new growth is making it harder to do these styles but I'm still going. Now that I'm in a cold climate I'm trying to learn how to take care of my hair during the winter seasons. I mostly focus on keeping my ends moisturized to prevent drying and breakage 
. I'm also doing co-washes every other day using my oh so lovely Suave Tropical Coconut with added oils. I shampoo whenever my hair feels as though there's buildup, maybe once a month (if that).
I am not to sure with my growth yet as my new growth won't show the stretched length but it does feel much healthier. I've starting using silk/satin scarves as sort of a headband around my hair to protect it from the cold, I have to find more to match with whatever I wear when I go out.
Still continuing with no heat, and lo mani. At home my hair stays tied down in a satin scarf and rarely do I wake up with it off; still focusing on trying to sleep without all the turning.
Well thats my update. HHG To all participants of this bootcamp!

but i have a question - i have a partial weave, and my hair is just relaxed after 7 years (on the top) but my hair gets very frizzy. what do i do at that point without direct heat? please help. i lost some hair and my hairline so i believe that this would be good for me. also i started using MN and evoo mixture on my hair at nite and taking multivitamins, cod liver oil and kerastase's densitive as supplements. any suggestions?

I used my pass for this past weekend. I went to a reunion banquet at my old high school so I went to the dominican salon to get my hair washed. I am 11 weeks post with lots of new growth, but now my hair is silky straight. I am almost at BSL 
. Mid-March I should be there!
I have decided to transition so I am back to low mani and protective styles!

I have really fine 4a hair, and I made it to 9 weeks before relaxing. I henna weekly, use a lot of coconut milk and avocado prepoos, and do the carmel treatments during the last 3 weeks of stretching. I cannot use hardcore proteins at all without breakage, so I avoid them. I'm in the LHCF 2008 bootcamp, so I rollerset, mostly. I use the scarf method also during the last 4 or so weeks. HTH
