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

[JJamiah]

Surviving...and you? I sound beat down because I am. Help (work help) is on the way! I'll be glad when help arrives because working extra hours is taking away from my availability to play on lhcf. priorities!

It's going to be better, huh, just breathe. Can't stress (that is a LHCF NONO)

 

[chasturner84]

Oh girl THIS IS YOUR YEAR! Just don't stress and let your hair do it's thing in private. You'll look up and out of nowhere be BSL in the fall.
SN: stop messing with that sew in. Leave it in for a while or take it out and try out another PS...over manipulation is a no no!!! *I'm sure i sound like a mom, lol*

[Ms_CoCo37]

Morning Ladies!

Still bunning away!

 

[13StepsAhead]

Hey ladies I'm just dropping by to say I'm still in this challenge. I've been wearing the same LF since Jan so nothing to update.

 

[KurlyNinja]

Counting down the days I have to detangle my hair... This is the first time I've kept my cornrows in for 3 weeks under my wig. So we'll see how it goes. 3 weeks worth of hair to detangle on transitioning hair just sounds like horrible task.

You have a Tangle Teezer. I keep my braids in for 3 weeks under my wigs and I was nerVOUS to detangle thinking the TT wouldn't be able to handle.

I DETANgled in about 5 minutes and it was no problemo!

Tangle Teezer is hair follicle savyor Yes mam.

Grow is Doing okay and posted not to long ago on LHCF.

I know she was busy but I gave her enough time and wrote her in the beginning of the year to check on her. She did respond and shortly after post on the boards again.

I have decided to wait until tomorrow or tonight to wash my hair. I am tired. Plus I am going 12:30 tomorrow to get it done. So I figured after dropping my baby off to school. I will come home and get down to business, reducing the hours of DCing if tonight isn't feasible.

I will wash, steam for 30 mintues and leave my cap and Alter ego on for 1 hour. Then do my finishings and go get it braided I am looking forward to it

 

[acapnleo]

I washed my hair this morning... it was TIME! I baggied, even though I didn't want to, but that's my method as long as I wear wigs... I'll have to see how my hair responds to this... Anyway, still in Danielle.... I tried to separate the curls more, but some just tangled I still find her to be "big hair".

I flat ironed / bumped Mommy and it looks sooooo good... wet look is pretty, but I think I like it dry and styled just as much... I think I may be brave enough to wear MOMMMY to work... we'll see

I just finished and I put too much ArGAN Oil in (just a smidge). 1st time and I've been using it since it came out. I am not going to rewash it because I am getting it braided tomorrow and hopefull that will combat any dryness that might occur.

I am happy I did it tonight because I took an hour longer than I should have and that would have cut into braid time so HUH! I am done.

@Ms CoCo37

Yeah. Thats why I decided to go back, My hair was around WL when I was younger as well, my mother kept it in Natural braids, at all times. She greased it with whatever grease she used, and kept it moisturized. Of course I wanted a pony tail and I went downhill from there, ((..Laughing..)). Now I'm back to the old school. I might as well do what I know works.

Yea so ummm I am so bored with my hair at the moment. And I realized that I have some hair pulling at my right temple Im thinking from the bobby pins that I use to hold the LF in place...either that or from maybe a tight braid (I dont recall the braid being tight). Sooo imma try to baby that and see how that goes before its time to take these cornrows out.

Hey ladies just checking in. Still hiding under my wig. This is wash weekend, so I plan to wash in 4 sections using con orange bottle, deep condition using Shea moisture deep treat mask and sit under my heat cap. I am liking there products. I have the conditioner too and I use that as a leave in. I plan to let it air dry for a bit then rebaid. This will make a month of hiding. I am already thinking about what wig I want next. Maybe mommy??

I hope to make it to apl by may or at least mid summer using this method

I dont have any....

 

[LilMissSunshine5]

I am bored with my hair! I can deal with 3 more weeks max of braids...I'll have had them in for 3 weeks on Saturday. I think 6 weeks overall is a respectable showing LOL I miss my hair!

 

[LilMissSunshine5]

I think I'll take a month break from braids, then put in one more round in April-mid May! I think truly hiding my hair is the only way I won't BC too early. That way I can make it to near my one year mark before I BC! I don't think I am going to make it much further than that...I can't imagine dealing with my relaxed ends for a whole summer So I'll be in HYH for at least 2-3 more cycles

 

[Anastaja11]

Still wearing my weave, but thinking about taking it out this weekend. It'll be 8 weeks.
Anywho another thread talked abotu paltas bkc being good for thickness and my junk butt is thinking about searching for it when I put in my next install.

 

[Drtondalia]

I bought two new wigs today.

Both are LaceFronts.
I got sensationall Lauren in 1 and sensationall Jazmine in a 1B.
I can't wait to get home to try them on!!!

I really wanted Freetress Gena but every store I tried so far didn't have it. I am going on a cruise next week and I didn't want to chance ordering online and not getting it in time. I wasted so much time doing research to make sure I got one I would really enjoy that time got away from me.

(I can be a wee bit controlling sometimes )

I have to cut the lace when I get home...I hope I do it right. It looks easy from what I see in all the YouTube videos.

 

[ms.tatiana]

My master plan was to keep french braids in the front with my individuals in the back for 6 weeks, but I totally forgot all about VALENTINES DAY . So I can't keep my braids in for as long I predicted .

I'm going to take them down next Friday which will make them have been in my hair for 3 weeks .

I need to get a trim on my ends since they haven't been touched since last March & I want a weave . I have some oils that I am going to mix together to give myself a hot oil treatment before I got in, because I don't want a dry scalp.

 

[bibirockz]

Hey ladies it's been a while I hope everyone's fine. I have in my weave, what a breeze. I moisturize/ and oil my scalp every 3 days. I wrap it at night then in the morning it looks fresh. I will be washing tomorrow or saturday the latest.

hi ladies. just popping in to say I'm still hiding under my wigs (duh!) and I've decided to chop in April for my 1 year post mark. Dealing with the 2 textures right now is added stress that I don't need at the moment. I have a good amount of natural hair and it's not a length I haven't been before...plus I wear wigs all the time anyway. Won't be that big of a shock to me lol.

Morning!

Nothing exciting to report. It's wet, cold and dreary here. :-(

 

[KurlyNinja]

Detangled my hair last night after having the cornrows in for three weeks. I have to admit it was not that bad. I didn't even lose a quarter size worth of hair. Which is crazy especially for 3 weeks. On another note, ALL of my relaxed ends are in my ponytail now. Which means if I BC'd right now I could put my hair in a ponytail (and I didnt even pull it back that tight), but I'm not BCing any time soon just felt like I reached a milestone.
