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

[ms.tatiana]

Okay I am going in..... I have about 20 lbs I want to lose, Actually I am going to lose it as I feel needed. I like my bum and want to keep my boobs which I know will go. I have always had a bum but want to lose the excess. LOL

I am purchasing some Fat Burners I know bad bad bad, But I am also joining a gym for 6 months Or 2. LOLOLOLOLOL

Salads and smoothies and eating healthy oh my!

I went and bought my books today So class starts on Saturday Yay!

I know how your feelings. I have been on birth control for like 3 years & I went from 147 to 202. I'm hoping I can drop about 30 pounds before the summer I'm starting my exercise sessions this Monday. What diet pills do you plan on taking? I tried silm quick and didn't like it they gave me headaches.

Some days I feel if I lhcf less and workout more, I'd be fit as a fiddle. My work encourages that we take 3 hours of company time per week to workout BUT they never really make that time available as the "job comes first." I need to trim down too but it will come...just NOT right now. Work is too stressful for me to joke myself with eating healthy. I never was a healthy eating chick. I was always active with sports (basketball) and that's how I've maintained weight through the years. I think if I can just up my activity a little, I can continue eating as I please. I'm a little shy of 5'11" so I can carry a little more weight and it not show.

After i took down my micros I did as follows:

1) Detangle
2) ACV/ Herbal green tea rinse
3) Shampoo with Mizani Moisturefusion Milk Bath 2x
4)Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor w/ plastic cap on for about 10 - 15 minutes
5)DC with several conditioners i mixed up w/ plastic cap on for about an hour
6)Applied Kimmyatube's leave in
7)Put hair in pony tail applied vasline to the ends put in a bun and baggied my bun

I know it seems like a lot.....

So here are my results which are also my starting pics

1st pic was taken in oct. my length was probably at 2 but not past it (guesstimating)
2nd pic is my hair after i completed all those steps ^ combed out
3rd pic is my current length after having micros in for 3 months

My hair is at the 4 and APL is at 5 or a little past 5. So i only have about an inch to an inch and a quarter to go. O yea! Lets not forget this is the longest my hair has ever been on top of I am so close to completing my first goal of the year!!!!!!!

 

[JJamiah]

^^ Congrats and OOOH so Nice. Do you plan on getting braids again?

Did you lose a lot of hair?

 

[babylone09]

I plan on letting it rest for about two to three weeks and bunning it since that is what my job requires anyway and maybe just putting some braids straight to the back in. Thanks!!!!

O yea, no i lost ur normal three months worth of shed hair

 

[divachyk]

You know what, I want to wear my hair out. I WILL BE wearing my hair out tomorrow if the weather isn't harsh and cold like it's been. I'm going salon shopping tomorrow. Have a consult with a new salon. Any suggestions for how this consult thing should go? What questions to ask, etc? This is my first in-person consult EVER. Before lhcf, I just showed up at a new salon, hoping for the best. Not anymore...I want to interview them to ensure we are a good fit for each other.

Here's my thread:

Very nice! What type of hair did you use?

Thanks so much! I used Freetress Water Wave Bulk Hair bc that was suggested in the threads. I used 2 and a half packs and they cost $5.99/each. This was very cost effective for me bc I can't afford to pay $200 for braids right now! I got this look for under $20!!! It is all thanks to LHCF and the tutorials ladies gave me! I tried this bc several threads popped up with pics talking about anybody could do it! That was true...even a hair challenged lady like myself can do it bc it is so simple Man, LHCF is making me feel like Superwoman, all empowered and stuff

 

[JJamiah]

^^^ Did you use a crochet hook?

So there LOL

LOL!!! Come on over then! I'll welcome you to Michigan I was just in NJ last month for a Prince concert, so you need to come here anyway

You can do them, they are SO easy! Thank you for all the compliments...girl, hop on this train, it is the latest LHCF trend!

 

[LilMissSunshine5]

^^^ Did you use a crochet hook?

I used a latch hook needle...it cost $.99 at the BSS! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

 

[Kamilla16]

Wow! this is too cute! I remember wearing crochet braids back in the day, but I've never seen them with loose hair! This is beautiful on you!

 

[NikkiQ]

All these crochet braids are SO tempting me!!!

 

[LilMissSunshine5]
