So I'm going to attempt to do the box braids myself, however I have no idea how to attach the braid hair to my hair. I've checked out a couple YT videos but I cant see ANYTHING. Their hand is always in the way! Any suggestions? YT? website?

Sorry for the lack of updates. Checking in.

I am doing well. No trims since my BC in Feb. No heat at all. PSing in nearly all-day long satin bonnets if at home or high puffs if out.

It's going well...hair is growing.

I think I can stay in this challenge forever....

I'm officially 4 months into my relaxer stretch today and so happy I made it this far. Okay now, time to psyche myself up for the next 4 months. I know I can do it.

Yes you can!

Thinking of doing C&G myself, give my hair a break from loose. More like give me a break from my hair..... we'll see.......

 

[Shay72]

I want to use heat so freaking bad right now!!!! I won't though.

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

Well I used more than one pass, I ended up cutting off 4 inches of thin ends, blow dried and flat ironed after mt t-up. I couldn't take those ends any longer still WSL or just hitting it. I have to go check my punishment, but my hair looks and feels good will post pics when i find my batteries.

 

[Aggie]

I used my pass for this session to get my hair trimmed today.

Okay ladies, 4 whopping inches, YAY! I wanted it shorter but my stylist insisted that I leave enough hair on my head just in case I want to put it in a bun. I think she was right. I do have enough hair left to put it in a teeny weeny bun, lol.

I am back to shoulder length, but thicker - here it is:

 

[Shay72]

Aggie--I can definitely see the thickness. Off topic --your house looks beautiful.

Hey ladies,

I also used my pass to get a cut for my birthday, which was on Monday. I cut off 3-4 inches of ends and love the fullness of my new shorter do.

OMGosh! Girl, I called myself trying to get to your hair length! Well, ya jus made it ezier for me . I love it! B-U-T-Full!! It looks incredibly healthy, and that of course is goal 1. The color looks great too!

Girl Aspire, you're too crazy, but thanks sweetie and you're right, healthy hair is first for me from now on, then length.

 

[aa9746]

No rules broken. I can't believe I've gone almost five months with no heat. I hope the hard work shows up in my hair for our the next length check.

 

[Lanea87]

Your hair is growing so nicely!

Thanks a lot. It has nothing on yours though.....

Round 2, 14 wks post 2 more to go and so ready. I wanna see my length....

 

[baddison]

OK....just checking in!! Starting another month and still going strong with my bootcamp. I will be using this session's pass to end my 13week stretch on June 20th!! Yaaayyy!!

Love this boot camp!!

 

[TCatt86]

Checking in, I used heat and trimmed the last session.

 

[Shay72]

I plan to do a length check on June 12th so I will need to accept punishment since I already used a pass on May 1st. I won't be able to purchase hair products for 2 weeks. I will be a mess!

 

[LiberianGirl]

I messed up during the second session-flat iron 1+. I'll join the third session.

 

[Aspire]

Checking in for June. No direct heat (except an air brush on low once. I don't think this counts though. If this counts then I used my pass).

I can see the growth and the health. Today I air dried my hair and it was NOT a frizzy, dry mess. I must be doing something right!!!

 

[trinigal27]

Checking in. Have been doing well so far. It is 5 months since my last relaxer, thinking of putting in some braids to give my hair and hands some rest. I have just thick growth now, have to comb out in the shower.

 

[Aggie]

Still going strong myself. No more passes to use up for this session and thank goodness my braids are installed until next month anyway. Stay strong ladies.
