omg i can tell this last half of session 1 is going to be hard for me. i just came from the gym and i am EXTRA sore. I had my guy friend go with me, it makes it much easier to actually have someone there who can work out with you and push you to keep going and to do better.
I realized though that after my work out my hair looks a HOTTTT MESS. I was thinking of cowashing but thats WAY too much manipulation..do you ladies have any suggestions on what i should do to my hair after work outs?​

I hope to get some pics done this week.

[It~Can~Grow]

Ok. My 1st Qtr results are in...

Let me know if you guys notice growth? Also, in the first t-shirt photo I was 4 weeks post so my hair was a little fuller.

12/28/07 - 03/01/08 12/05/07 03/01/08

Observation:
Stretching is a good thing, if only to see where the new growth begins and ends. HOWEVER, I stretched for 14 weeks and the last 3 were not fun

What I learned:
I should stick with 12 week stretches, at least Spring/Summer. Though I don't really have thick hair, that 2" of growth in the front through my crown was too much to deal with using lo/no mani. It was dry no matter how much scurl/moisturizer I used. I experienced no breakage at the demarcation line, which was a good thing, but it was way more than I bargained.

The last 3 weeks, as odd as this will sound, I felt like I had someone else's head on my shoulders. Since I was not really touching my scalp, when I did my touch up, I felt like I was going to make a mistake like I have never relaxed before.

Another comment that's been made before around your ng not getting really straight after a good stretch is true. I believe this is because you're relaxing using the same amount of time and not calculating the additional time that will be needed to just part and move the bushes from side to side. Lesson learned.

Going forward:
Summer/Spring 12 weeks stretches only, and I will need to find some super gentle way to do something different with my ng. I just find it too difficult to relax when I can't even part my hair.

Any suggestions on this one?

I'm in and will attach starting pic (which is not much different than avatar) this evening.

I am going to commit to 4 sessions of LHCF Bootcamp. My consequence for violating Bootcamp Rules will be no new credit cards (could be a positive and negative). I am excited to see the hair progress I will make by participating in this challenge!!​

I'm getting good info for protective styles, and because I don't really have the time to fuss with styles this will work out great!!

Thanks for the challenge

My updates are in my fotki. I had to use my 1st pass this week as I couldn't take my uneven layers in the front of my head anymore (from my personal haircut last year ). It wasn't a lot, a half inch to an inch in different spots in the crown to the front of my head, not an allover trim, just an "evening up" trim. I am happy now. Other than that, doing great! Still washing, deep conditioning, twisting, bunning and baggying! My ends look and feel great, my scalp is getting so much better from the dryness it has been suffering from, thanks to ACV and Amla, Shikakai and Aritha powder tea rinses. Hope you ladies are having fun! Low maintenance styling is wonderful.

 

[2grlsandme]

This is my first bootcamp!! Im excitedand scared at the same time Im in and I will commi to the last 3 sessions. My punishment will be water only for an entire month and no dessert. Im ready.

 

[OrangeMoon]

Okay ladies I'm hiding my hair from myself until April 24th. This means my update for Session 1 will be late by about 24 days. I'm going to reveal my hair just in time for the Jay Z and Mary Concert in the D.

 

[SignatureBeauty]

My Check in photo for the 1st Session is in my Avitar, to see where I started you can check out my online album. I am so Excited as my hair is getting bigger my body is getting smaller WHOOOOOHOOOOO! We got it going on Ladies! Now we can prepare for the 2nd Session!!!!!

 

[JustKiya]

Ooooh, I just realized that session ONE is almost over!!! So exciting - I haven't taken any passes yet, either!

 

[Aggie]

Time to check in. I used my first pass yesterday. I had a blow out that greatly reduced the major tangles I had from stretching my relaxer. My goodness, my hair feels a thousand times better. This coming sunday I will be putting my hair in individual braids to greatly reduce the manipulation. If I don't do this, I will not be able to keep my hands out of my hair.

I plan on keeping them in for about 8 weeks, then do my second henna treatment when I take them out. I can't wait. If I'm able to keep my braids in for the 8 weeks then that would take my relaxer stretch to 21 weeks. I will then have 5 more weeks to go to take me into my first 6 months relaxer stretch. Woo Hoo!

By the way, I just put up my update pic in my siggy yesterday, also see my fotki for my progress pics in my January to March folder.

 

[miss Congeniality]

I am still wearing protective styles. I have been using my sulfur oil again. I really need to find something to stop breakage.

 

[pazyamor]

whoa! is session one almost over already? wow, this is really breezing by...I haven't used any passes, I haven't been bothering my hair, and I've put twists in. I think when I take the twists out, I'm going to have to use a pass and trim but as my countdown suggests, I'm trying to stay away from those for the entirety of 2008 (we'll see how that goes) anyway, I'm just chillin, and about to start using MN regularly so that I can achieve the length where I feel comfortable enough to cut off all this blonde. Wish me luck!
