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

[Janet']

...Just wanted to update...my rollerset lasted 3 days but I'm ok with that! I was just thinking though, when you ladies were saying once the rollerset starts to fall, pin it up...I am 100% natural and when my rollerset starts to get old, my hair starts reverting and it shrinks instead of expands, so there was no need to pin it up to hide the length, lol. What I have done is put my hair in a ponytail...see attached!!!

I think I need to wear my half wig! When I wear my own hair down, I get annoyed that it's touching me and it's in a bun by the middle of the day. I think my half wig would help me get used to my hair touching me. My hair was usually kept around SL pre-LHCF, so anything longer than that annoys me!

wearing your hair down?

Bun It bun It Bun it,

I did my cowash last night for the first time with this install and to be on the safe side, I parted it in 2 and did big twists. It totally worked too! kept my curls in tact and there were no tangles or anything.

(excuse the conditioner in the middle of my head )

UPDATE: have been bunning it for 2 weeks now. DCing or CoWashing every 3-4 days. I have been so lazy ya'll. After my length check this weekend I think I am going to do cornrows going into twist to change it up for next week

 

[davisbr88]

I don't think my little twists are going to make it to 2 weeks! I think I will take them down on Sunday (6 days) and see if the twist out looks halfway decent, which I doubt, since my twists are extra fuzzy and mushed now. Next time I am definitely going to use more than just water and leave-in. I am thinking of making a whipped mango butter cream for the next time I twist. If I do, I'll let you all know what happens with that.

Just texted my cousin who braids my hair and asked her to do it the 7th instead of the 10th I figure a few days early wouldn't hurt

I miss the wigs what can I say!

I also mixed up a concoction of sulphur D )

1 table spoon of Sulphur
2 ounces of Hot six oil
1 oz of emu oil
1 oz of jojoba oil
1 oz of NTM
2 Ounces of Infusium 23
a few drops of peppermint for the smell and tingle shake shake
1 oz of Coconut oil

That is it

When I get my braids I will try to use this twice a week max TRY

 

[NikkiQ]

You're like a chemist lol

 

[JJamiah]

You're like a chemist lol

No I tried to put the good stuff in there

I got my oils and my liquids conditioners and Sulphur now lets hope for some growth

Still hiding under Yasmine, I can't wait to bring out Emily.

 

[lushlady]

Still doing okay with this challenge. I've been wearing buns for the past few weeks. I just posted a few in that natural bun thread. I'm pretty sure I will need a pass for Labor Day weekend though. I haven't had my hair straight since April and I just want to see what it looks like now.

 

[gvin89]

Still in braids....

 

[JJamiah]

I am still bunning with my Spin Pins. I sprayed with Infusium today and put a little Nu Gro on my hair Used my sulphur concoction realizing that when I am in braids I won't want to use this stuff, to avoid build up

Plus next time I will use this two days next to wash day to avoid the oil spill effect

It's Quiet in here

Let me bust out the FRIDAY festivities!!!!

[JJamiah]

I always get overwhelmed right at WL and just cut it off out of frustration/getting rid of the past, waiting to exhale moments . Maybe now I can have the patience I need to have for it Maybe. If it isn't too much I will continue. I mean I just use to get so frustrated with it. We will see

 

[NikkiQ]

Janet, HL will be no problem for you! I personally don't think I could do HL so I'm shooting for WL stretched lol

 

[Poutchi]

Hello ladies,
I still have my single braids, no extension added. I plan to take them down this thursday, do an overnight DC and put braids in with extensions that I will tentatively keep until Mid October. I am not sure how small I will do them though... We will see.
HHJ to all
Transition is still going one, 1 week shy of 6 months post

 

[NikkiQ]

18 weeks post!

 

[davisbr88]

Only 5 more days of SantaFe Girl!
*and the crowd goes wiiiiiiild*
I'm ready for a change!!!! Luckily I'll have my face buried in books this weekend so I won't be surfacing to really wear her anyway, which lessens the resentment towards having to wear her AGAIN. Thankfully, I only technically HAVE to leave the house 3 times a week from now, so I hope I can get through next month without being as bored.

Maybe month one you wear one,

Month 2 your option to wear one and two

Month 3 you can opt to wear all 3 or 2/3 and so forth

Good suggestion! You always come through JJ!

 

[JJamiah]

Last month I got bored with just Delia so I popped on Mina and then Elise when Both the others were getting washed.

This time I am going to wear Mina and Blair (I might sneak Elise in there too )

We need variety this is suppose to be fun not feeling like we are tied down.

I am wearing my bun comfortably over my spin pinned bun LOL it looks nice and full!

 

[divachyk]

I get my hair braided around in a circle beehive smack a mesh cap and then my wig it's flat to my head and it looks natural; I make it my own by fingering and combing, brushing and flat Ironing

Flat iron? Really? At what temp? I've applied products and combed/brushed mine but never flat iron. Hmmm, something to consider.

Not having hair braided might also be part of the issue. I gonna check out a lace front or half head. Any cheap suggestions? My budget won't allow a very expensive one at the moment.

This was posted a few minutes ago and looks nice (on her although it might not work for me) --http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=495132

Try the Synthetic Hybrid mix, that you can curl. I flat Iron the Human Hair.

But The Hybrid is more affordable. Futura, Hybrid, Nutura are some names they go by. Look for with heat use up to 350 - 400 degrees. that means you can use Flat iron or curlers up to that degrees but start with less.
