2011 Hide Your Hair Challenge! (Jan 1st - June 30th)

[Long-n-Strong_Naturally]

first i have to say sorry, i'm terrible at taking pics. and i'm not sure that the video camera has a timer so... Also, i am very sorry for the stupid pics, it's an addiction. And last omgosh there is alot i'm also sorry for that but i wanted them at different angles. Also, excuse my eyebrows, i will try to remedy that but do know i am not really good with them, i do think i need to thin them out for the wigs though

Wig 1 (the middle it's pinned up) bought this in november. i think it's pretty unflattering on my face tbh

Wig 2, i like this one, wish it was a bit fuller though

Wig 3 - i think i'm going to cut the bangs, they're a lil to thin to wear straight across but i want too still...

no pic of wig 4 because camera ran out + it's just not working

Same here, I like 2 & 3 the most...with 3 being my favorite.

Working up the courage to wear "mommy" to work... still the most comfortable wig I own... Baby Grace gives me headaches and Mariah is too BOLD for a winter look (maybe summer)...

***Searching for cute HH LF***

 

[JJamiah]

^^^^ Is it the wig cap giving you headaches; strectch it out with your hands and then apply

Check the tabs in the back of the wig and make them wider so the wig isn't as tight. I sometimes get headaches too and I have to adjust straps and open up my wig cap

Good Luck

The Mommy is awesome on you, wear it out on the weekends Tomorrow and Sunday then on Monday.

Take baby Steps

Flexi 8 bun -- medium flexi shown.

To achieve this style, I pony with a cut up stocking (I always pony with a cut up stocking slathered in condish), fan my hair around into a bun, secure the bun with a hair pin, then place the flexi in my hair for hair candy. The flexi doesn't actually hold the bun in place. I just place the flexi in the hair for accessorizing.

I also own a few more flexi's (size large) and actually use them to hold the style in place by pinning up my hair in like a french bun. I'll post pics of that later, when I wear that style.

 

[JJamiah]

Diva That is a nice bun you have going there and your Flexi 8 is NICE!

YES! omg YES! I tried loosening it and the straps, but by the mid to end of the work day -- headache city. Also JJamiah, you tell me how to get the wig "hump" out??? I have Grace on a wig head a hat on top of that to flatten it, but it still has that fake "hump" to it...

JJamiah thank you again for your help and advice

Thank you! Yes, baby steps... dh likes Mommy best of all my units I'll let yall know if I do...

I'm letting my head breathe and my hair is just in a ponytail...

Is it not hiding, if the ponytail is not bunned?

I'm really glad I joined this challenge

 

[acapnleo]

I like that one a lot. thanks maybe you have to find the right one? My fam said i look like an old woman in the first one lol


thanks

that is what my friend and family said, i think the curls next to my face aren't a good look. Hmm maybe i can wash it and the curls will fall a bit.

Glad you finally got your wigs! I agree with the other ladies 2 and 3 look great! Have fun!

Your so very Welcome

To get the hump out turn your wig upside down/ turn the wig inside out on your wig stand (sally has the foam ones for like $3) for about a day or two and that should fix that problem I leave mine on for like a week.

I am off to lalah land so If you have any questions and I don't answer just PM me or leave them here I will come back later tomorrow or Sunday to read them.

Enjoy them most of all they are really to have fun and options.

HOw do you like it I looked at Solange before online. She is cute

Verbal Review.

She is too long for me in general. I feel like my alter ego wearing her. She is not one that I would pick out in general bc of the length but I like her curl/wave pattern. I will post the pic first thing in the morning I promise....

 

[Lanea87]

I think wig 2 suits yhou best. It looks really nice. I wish I looked good in wigs, but I just look older I prefer braids. I started on 29th December 2010 so I'm officially 9 days in! I'm loving it

I really like #2 on her also....

You have beautiful hair, what kinda relaxer do you use?
I can just tell that your hair is healthy....

Anything is hiding as long as no one can see your actual length....

I must have missed the post. What class does your son have?
In other news: Your wig schedule sounds lovely. Your dh will be like ooh baby every month with you changing it up.

 

[divachyk]

You have beautiful hair, what kinda relaxer do you use?
I can just tell that your hair is healthy....

You're so sweet. Thank you. I'm stylist dependent for my relaxers right now and she uses Design Essentials Sensitive Scalp which has very mild lye in it (so the stylist says). I look to be self-sufficient soon and I will definitely be looking for ways to obtain this relaxer if/when I self-relax. I love that it doesn't burn my scalp and it softens/straightens the ng very nicely.

 

[Janet']

Hi ladies, still wearing my hair straight but hiding it with hair sticks and buns...I'm thinking that I'm going to wear it straight for one more week and then go back to curly...

Her goes a quick pic just of the curls and the length, like I said earlier she is long like MBL- WL on me and I am 5'5.
