I am 4b/a, relaxed, fine hair BSB/BSL and would love to be in this group. My goal is WL with long term goal of full MBL (more manageable I believe!).

Hello Ladies!!

This challenge is designed to help newbies reach short term goals to lead up to them acheiving their long-term goals. This will also help us veterans of LHCF stay motivated with our HHJs...as we also get discouraged

I figured that if we help out the newbies, it will also help us out. And it feels good to help others. So let's get together to help one another! And plus...since we'll be split up into groups...there will always be someone to give you a boost along the way.

Here's How It Works:
I need 5 captains....i will be one myself so this will give me 6 groups to keep track of for this challenge.

To Be a Captain:
-You Have to have been a member of the board for over a year
-You must have at least 350 posts
Each Captain can have up to 5 members within their group....BUT...
-You ALL must have similar hair (ex. relaxed relaxed heads, naturals with naturals and so forth)
-You must list your group's agreed consequence for skipping out on any regimen steps.
-You must pm me to request to be a captain.

*To the Ones I Choose as Captains*
-You must post the name of your group
-You must list your groups hair similarity (ex. Relaxed but fine hair...etc)
-Every quarter you must list your members short term goal
-You must list your members long-term goals
-Only positive feedback to your members...if you disagree on something...be nice about your disagreement.
-After every quarter you must post your groups progress and have your members post any progress pics they have.

All challengers may use pm'ing or profile messaging or this challenge thread to communicate among one another.

At the end of the last quarter there will be a poll and we will all vote for who we think had outstanding progress in their group overall.

Sign up for Captains will be from now until Saturday September 19th.

Sign up for challengers will be from September 20th until October 20th. (This way we can work out all our nooks and cranies) I am limiting this to at the maximum 40 challengers in all....if we have left out a group...please pm me so that all hair types can be part of the challenge.
No More Until Further Notice

The challenge will start January 1, 2010. (So we can have our products and group regimens ready)

Any other questions can be added here to the challenge...as this is the official challenge thread.

Come On Ya'll!!! Let's Reach Our Goals!!

HOLD UP!

Okay Ladies..... I know that you all are excited about the challenge....but!!!!

Since i am going to be keeping track of all the teams I can't have EVERYBODY....On Monday I will be posting everything bc i want this to be as organized as possible.

I am going to go ahead and let my captains have 10 Newbies on their teams...but that is only for the ones that have pm'd us in the past couple of days.

The challenge starts in January on the 1st. I think what i'm gonna do isnext month....since i have sooooooooo many requests for this challenge i'm going to have to find another "General Captain"....like all these groups i have now will be Section A and then i will have a captain over Section B so that they can generally manage those groups....cause i can't manage 15 groups ya'll....i have a full time job irl. So the last day to pm one of the captains to be in their group for the Section A groups is gonna be this Sunday.

Thank all you ladies for your eagerness and helpfulness...you all are really sweet!

Don't worry....i will keep you all posted on when you can sign up for the Section B groups.

[jerseygurl]

Why am I just seeing this today??!!! I'm a relaxed, thick haired BSL and I don't mind being a co-captain or I can be here for moral support.

 

[bimtheduck]

I joined in 2006 to lurk, - ended up losing interest and forgot all about it. Then this summer when I decided I wanted to grow my hair out I stumbled back upon you lovely ladies. So I really am a newbie.

If there's another relaxed/thick team forming or if there's additional room on the current team I would love to join.

Can I be on your team too? I'm looking for some guidance in my HHJ. I'm natural, never BC, about 2.5" passed SL and trying to identify a reggie that works for me. Current goal is APL. I've experimented with ayurvedic (henna, amla) and some other natural things (yogurt, honey). But I don't really know what I'm doing yet.

ETA: I'm 4-something, thin strands but densely packed.
