2010 Hide Your Hair Challenge! (July 31st - Dec 31st)

[NikkiQ]

Yeah, I have to go buy braid spray, I only want to last 4 weeks LOL.
I am having issues worried it won't last because I rough it when in braids with my hands and some shampoo. Not this time Spray and spray hose is all, not fingers in my hair

I am excited though! it is so fun popping one wig off and smacking this lace front on who ever I want to be for the day,

Yeah, I don't think I could last 3 months, I am trying for 4 weeks, can u imagine me? LOL

Yeah wigs are so much easier to deal with. If this thing doesn't last long, I'll be going back to my LFs lol

Yeah because you can get it braided up and just pop it on and wash out quicker.

I do like weaves just I can't afford it at the price of taking it out every 4 weeks like i need to.

If anything is gonna happen in 4 weeks, its to switch back to straight hair for a bit

 

[JJamiah]

Nikki I am loving not touching it right now, but then again this is only day night 3 for me, lol, you have a 1-2 day advantage over me

I don't miss touching my hair right now. I am worried that I might not meet the 4 weeks


I have to search tomorrow for a braid spray that helps with the itches

Off to bed, I am tired

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

It's about to be on and poppin'! Starting pix thread tomorrow! BE THERE!

 

[glamazon386]

This is my first time with the curly install so I didn't know if that made that big of a difference lol

Nope. Just don't let the hair tangle.

 

[JJamiah]

Ms.Coco Did you find one,

I have worked Ms. Delia in my favor, I have been rocking her since I got my braids in trying to get the JOannGrey Blood in me with my wig baptisim going on, LOL, loads of hair spray and flat ironing. Whew that goodness this isn't my real hair. This is the one thing I love about the Human Hair Wigs and wigs in general, I can beat it up, abuse it and not worry about my hair.

No I haven't pick one out yet. I think I need to try a couple on first to make sure they fit my round face.

 

[davisbr88]

I was thinking of trying to do individual braids or twists without extensions for a month maybe. Has anyone with transitioning or relaxed hair been able to do this with success without them unraveling?

 

[JJamiah]

Times a ticking come one Ms. Lady

 

[silenttullip]

I was going to do individual box braids without extension but it doesn't really hide my length now when I'm out in public I planned to put a wig over it. Does this qualify or would I have to get extensions to actually "hide" my hair? starting time is close so I just want to make sure

 

[3jsmom]

I am so happy to start my first challenge!!!

 

[godzchildtoo]

Can't wait to show off my SL mess that will hopefully be beautiful by the reveal! Don't yall laugh at the newbie. I got a little bump on the back of my head because I insist on slicking down a little ponytail.

 

[Minty]

back in braids for another week.
I steam on wash/DC days, but I think I will incorporate another steam day - no product (well I moisturize, juice, OCT, oil - but no additional product).

I just got my qhemet biologics in, so I'm going to try out the tea tree product and their karkady this week.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Since you're the professional, I'll go to the beauty supply store, try a couple on, take pix and text them to you. Then you can tell me yay or nay. How bout that?

Awww! I'm glad you chose this one as your first challenge. You really will benefit from it. I know I did the first time I did it.

That ponytail will be nice and lush by December...just wait!

Did you ever make it through a full week? I know you were pulling and tugging the other day.

 

[NikkiQ]

Yes ma'am, it most certain does! Now make sure you add your name to the first post. We'll be posting starting pix tomorrow.

 

[Avaya]

I've been banding my hair all week. I'm going to try and see if my hair will let me braid it tomorrow. My snoods arrived and I'm hoping I can make my "hide your hair" style that I have in my head work. We'll see...

Sweet memories of the last challenge by Twana has inspired me to revive this challenge. I like the details Twana had so I copied them below:

I'm starting this thread now to give people a chance to see it and get wearing their hair down out of their system. Same rules as the previous challenges.


RULES:

• Hide the length of your hair by wearing it in protective styles. That can be wigs, weaves, buns, braids, twists, etc.
• You can take picture updates, but do not allow them to be publicly seen.
• You are allowed 3 free passes to wear your hair out. That's basically a pass every two months.
• Post your starting picture in the Starting Pictures Thread: Coming soon!

• 
  
  [*]Check in as needed. If you are struggling to find styles or losing motivation, check in so we can support each other.
  [*]Last but not least.....ENJOY THE LENGTH YOU RETAIN ONCE THE CHALLENGE IS OVER!!!

This challenge goes hand in hand with BSL, 2010 OCT/MegaTek, and other challenges ending in December.

This challenge will officially begin on July 31st and we will reveal on December 31st

In lieu of me listing all of the names as people join the challenge, you can just put a Thanks under this post. That way the list will remain current. (Thanks for the suggestion ShyIntellect!)

I will post a separate thread for our starting pix. With Twana's help I will post other helpful threads within this one.

HHJ Ladies!

OHHH this is sooooo on time!!! I JUST tried my hand at my first bun with 2 strand twists today and I LOVE IT! So, I am more than happy to take this challenge. My goal is to see how much hair I can continue growing and retain by my birthday on 12/1/10 so this challenge is PERFECT!!!! Definitely count me in! I THANKED this post!!!!

 

[Sasha299]

Hi Ladies,
I am going to try my first weave for this challenge (self installed too - ambitious aren't I) and I have 2 wigs to try after that (well, if I cannot make it). I admit its going to be hard because I usually co-wash every day/every other day and I don't own a comb yet - tomorrow I will be purchasing everything for the install - fingers crossed that I'll make it.

 

[grow]

i've been hiding my hair with lots of buns, but i'm glad we're starting tomorrow!

yah!!!
