I am keeping my braids in for one month under my wig.
I have come to that realization that Human Hair is a little more high maintence. I do enjoy the variety it offers, but I love the Synthetic ability to snap back
if you know what I mean.

It sounds like you've made really good progress so far!
I sent you pix of the wig I bought today. I didn't last in it at all. I think my face is too round and I need to braid my hair down.
so excited. i have been inadvertently hiding my hair since mid May. Do tightly curled flexi rod styles count?Yes, as long as it's hiding your true length.
Girl, I can't do bantu knots to save my life. I always wind up looking a hot mess.
Very cute! I'm dying to get my hair flat twisted into a bun.
this is a real challenge for me, but it will help my hair immensely.
hey hey ladies
Today is the challenge start date! Yeah
HHJ to all.
PS: this transition is going smooooooooooth ... Just need to get ride of those 2 relaxers boxes I have in this house!
As JJamiah would say, "Whew Hew!"Get rid of those relaxers girl!
I know today is the first day but is it too late to sign up? I need this!!

Hello all!
I've been sitting here contemplating ... and I'm in!
I've got my own hair in single braids for now. I'm going to try to leave these in until September. I'll probably alternate twists and braids for a month each until January. I just hope I don't get bored with the styles!

Well they do take forever and a day to dry lol
Oh and i'm planning to join the wig community. My SO has always been abit against them and just as I was wondering why I cared what he though he told me that I should just do what I want. What a coincidence lol
I'm so excited I think I want a bob like jjamiah's (my wig wearing inspiration
) and a 4a textured one

Just an update
Giving my hair that super special treat before intalling a weave.
pre-poo with EVOO and keracare humecto,
Shampoo with redken
Dcing with Giovanni silk and Castor oil ( i like it) then stay under dryer for 30 mins.
apply redken extreme repair
apply Aubrey honey suckle condish
leave in lacio then roller set. (my hair loves it)
I decided to install the weave tommorow.
I hope to gain an inch growth (6 weeks should be a realistic right???)

Well.. I just did some flat twist yesterday. It would be nice if I could force myself to wear them for as long as possible before taking them down or at least wear them a week before I take them down but I'm extremely tempted to take them down today. I'm going to continue to fight the urge.
I'm still not quite sure how I feel about wearing the flat twist out considering I don't have any "hang time" in the back.. I don't want to be mistaken for an ex-con
I wanna wear some flat twists!!! I just can't do them
I've been bunning it up since I washed my hair last week. I need to try some different buns. I do the same tired two every time.

I wish I could do a simple braid. It would make things so much easier for me. I have a lot of practicing to do.

You'll get there.
Experimenting and finding good protective styles is what this challenge is all about. Over the course of the next few months you will be surprised at how creative you can be with your hair, no matter the length.The bonus is that you will feel so good about your accomplishments once it's all over. I know I did the first time I participated in this challenge.

I unbraided 2 weeks early because I just didn't see the point in pushing them any longer when I could undo them, DC, then hide them under a wig to rest. I am currently in "Mina" by Outre. I will redo my braids as planned by the 16th. But I will at least get more time off. My hair is two strand twisted beneath the LF.
