I have not posted here in a while. I have not broken any rules. Still in cornrows. I washed my braided hair today with ElastaQP conditioing shampoo. Applied SE Olive oil moisturizing deep conmdtioning treatment for 2 hours under my thermal wrap. Rinsed, applied porosity contol, and then did a final cold water rinse. Air dried then rebraided. I am in the sulfur challenge so I cowash daily in braids.

No rules have been broken so far AT ALL!!!

 

[Pooks]

Haven't broken any rules, still protective styling as I do...

 

[divastyle2010]

Today I made 5months post relaxer. So 7 months more to go!LOL! I am trying to decide if I want to go natural. If so I will continue to stretch longer than a year. I have not broken any rules and will be doing my wash routine tomorrow and then back in braids. I hope everyone is doing well.

 

[Carisa]

I am relaxing at the moment doing the half and half method and so far so good. I am on my last section and Im hoping at myy hair is there when its time to wash out.....
If it is I will continue to use this method bc it gave me more time.
I used Mizani Rhelaxer in Medium/Normal and it seem to have gotten my hair really str8 which I am loving. I may break some rules such as a light dust and flat iron or roller wrap, but this will my first broken rules since the challange started.

I will be back with an update tomorrow or so to tell you ladies how things went.

 

[divastyle2010]

Well just checking in....I haven't broken any rules I am finishing up my yarn braids today and will leave them in for atleast a month or 6weeks and then redo them till I make 1year post in October. Good luck ladies!

 

[winona]

I broke a rule. I cut about 3inches off the back of my hair to get rid on my mullet I like that my hair seems thicker already.

 

[Lanea87]

I will be DC in a few with some left over DC from last week and I will be adding Giovanni and some Emergencee..... I am going to try to dust my hair sometimes this week or so.....

After my relaxer I have been doing good with M&S my hair daily, my hair feels so dang on good.

Will there be a new thread for the next part of the challenge? the one starting in April.

 

[JennyKenny]

Hey fellow challengers. I haven't checked in for a longgg time!!

Unfortunately, I broke the protective style rule!! Boo!! I know. But, I was totally feeling my hair one weekend and wanted to wear it out!! So, I told myself I would be without wine for 2 weeks!! Somehow I lasted!!

I am back on board and following all of the rules. Today I will pre-poo, wash, condition, and put my hair back in twists!!

Right now is a great time to join Bootcamp.

I am going to commit to 3 sessions of LHCF Bootcamp. My consequence for violating Bootcamp Rules will be no LHCF for 2 weeks (yikes!). I am excited to see the hair progress I will make by participating in this challenge!!

My starting pic is from 3/27. I was getting ready to go to bed and decided to play around with my mother's electric pressing comb. My hair is in between SL and APL. I really hope Bootcamp can help me reach full APL by the end of the year.
