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

you ladies are cracking me up!!! I can't wait to get my wigs when I come back from my vacation. Hopefully it will start to get cooler here in the south so I can rock them, really doubt it though.
 
I'm french braiding now. Last wash I was at my collarbone. I won't make APL by Dec, but I'm not pressed about it.

Now I'm just trying to figure out a way to braid my hair w/o breakage! It is not a lot, but I don't want any broken strands. oh well.

Maybe you can, yesterday was 80 something outside but exercising and walking a mile made my head some sweaty something awful my Delia was right on my head, felt fine. :) those beehive braids surely help.

Checking in. I love my micros!! I forgot how easy it is to just "moisturize and grow", but man, my scalp was sore! I can't wait to see what it will look like in December.

Everyone's protective styles look so goooooddd! I will be jumping on the wig train for a minute in btwn braids. HHG!

I do too, and I DO NOT wear them small. But I love the low maintence of them and how I can just spray and go. I will be in these until around Halloween, then its a rest maybe in buns and a sew in:grin:.
 
I am hear looking at some more LF's huh and wigs 8 already in my basket maybe I will have these under my tree for December Holidays LOL!
 
Now I'm all up in the online BSS at work! You guys are bad influences!

Anyways, I'm still in! I'm giving in to the temptation of the half wigs. I just have to find one that looks really natural. BTW, how do you wash these things? I have a human hair one from my wedding, but it's covered in setting lotion and hair spray...:look:

I wash mine like i would wash my own hair...just much carefully so it doesn't get tangled and end up a HAM
 
Hey ladies! After DH asked me, I have decided to straighten my hair at the end of November since that's when we're going to see the family. I would still like to be in the challenge, though. Does anyone have any cute PS ideas for my straightened hair? I should be APL by then. There isn't a "No heat" rule, right? :ohwell:
 
^^^not unless you're in the No Heat challenge too. Straight PS huh? Hmm....time to put on the thinking cap.
 
^^^I am, but that ends in September. I may still join the next one since you get three "heat passes."

I don't know any styles other than a ponytail...and DH would look at me like :ohwell: if I took 3-4 hours straightening my hair just for a ponytail. :lol:
 
^^^What about large bantu knots on freshly flat ironed hair? It'll be straight with a slight wave to it and lots of body.
 
^^^Sounds good! I think that would be very cute, easy to maintain, and very low manipulation since at night I wouldn't have to comb and/or brush it. I love you Nikki!:grin:
 
How long are peoples synthetic half wigs lasting? I wear Model Model Mojito and it gets messy in about a month and a half ish. Maybe I need a wig stand :ohwell:

Maybe the curly ones don't last as long as the straight ones but I look horrible with silky straight hair.
 
Here are a couple of buns I wore this week. I'm impatiently awaiting a sew in.

Cowashed my hair today and man did that feel good. Curly weave is still behaving so that's a good thing. I figure that if I hold out for 10 weeks(til Oct. 8th), I can take it out for my 6 month post mark. Just gotta make sure I can hang with it until then. I think 10 weeks might fly by quicker than I think. I make 15 weeks tomorrow so what's 10 more??? :lachen:
 
Hey guys. First post and first challenge. Been lurking a while but I'm ready to do this! Right now I'm in cornrows. I'll have to upload pictures later.:grin:

Yeah, Nikki is a bad influence :look: :D

I wash my LF/wigs/Half Wigs/PP in a small bucket with Fantasia Wig Cleaner, swish it around for 3 mintues and rinse. Hang to dry.

There are several cute and elegant buns that you can do. On the first page of this thread there is a link to the last challenge. There are tons of links for buns there.

That's about how long mine lasted when I wore them on a regular basis.
