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

[JJamiah]

I'm so proud of my little powder puff. And no I didn't take a braid out either to satisfy my HIH syndrom. This is the little bit that was left out for my sew in

I was about to Say Wha Nah, so your going to braid that up so and talk to Gina for a minute.

Good morning!

I haven't had a chance to go back and read all of the posts from yesterday yet. I just wanted to report that I am wearing my pinching wig today. I know I can't snatch it off, because I braided my hair down...so I'm basically trapped.

But enough about me, how are you?

I can't take this sew in no longer its been 2 weeks and one day. This hair is itching my neck too bad and my scalp seems to be so itchy. I'm getting my own hair cornrolled today.

that is ongoing here; we all itching and dying to take out the braids. Get your self armed with some braid spray, and spray spray spray

Still wearing Yasmine. I like her alot, I'm not sure who said it but she does look a little better as she gets "worn".

 

[chelleypie810]

^^I loved yasmine..

 

[NikkiQ]

^^which one are you wearing in your pic chelley?

 

[JJamiah]

I just have to say again GINA is my dream length all over, even though it is only MBL I love it. I still will reach for WL. I am second guessing that though, Gina is perfect.

MIna is the Perfect SL/APL bob it is the perfect hair for me

I'm wearing a curly phony pony today.

I'll be ordering some other ponies and a few half wigs this Friday. I was thinking of going to this site:

http://www.especiallyyours.com/Raquel-Half-Wig.html

What sites are you girls using to order ponies and wigs? And are you braiding your hair under the wigs at all?

 

[davisbr88]

I love them BOTH! OMG I really do, Gina and Mina are just excellent. Excellent!

I have 2 more weeks of Delia; I have too many choices to rock now! LOL

Make sure you post pics!!!

I'm here...feeling on this braid that's super loose already erplexed

I wore two-strand flat twists for the first week and since I'm not that great at it, they were getting pretty loose, so I was like FORGET IT. I put my hair in 4 big ol braids, looking like a toddler and shoved them jokers under my cap. Problem solved... And I feel like they're easier to moisturize than the flat twists anyway.

What I'm rocking for the next 2 wks..hopefully 3..

Gorgeous! Is that a Sensationnel halfie? Those are so cute. I wear at least 2 every summer now.

I'll be wearing phony ponies/puffs/buns starting in January... do I smell a challenge?
I order from Hairsisters.com all the way. A lot of people seem to hate or love them. I've been ordering for the past year and have never had a problem, and they seem to have the best prices, and you're automatically enrolled in a discount program when you sign up so... yeah.

She's MBL on you?? She's BSL on me.

That may be my next move. Try to do some twists or something since I can't braid myself.

This piece is long but I can see how it can be shorter on you. Your taller than me. for me it is at the bottom of my bra 1/2 past so that is MBL on me

She is a beauty though, I love it, I can't wait to rock her. But she did tangle just trying her on so I have to be on the look out for that

This length natural is my goal length and stretch to MBL or maybe even WL. I think my shrinkage might be pretty decent after seeing how my curls are coming in.

Anyone wearing a weave for this challenge?

I will again starting next month. I had to take the install I had out b/c the curly hair was tangling WAY too much for my liking. Going back to straight, but I'm digging my wigs. Its up in the air- weave vs. wigs

 

[Janet']

PS'ing this week...Excuse the big, greasy forehead, lol!

 

[NikkiQ]

^^how did you learn to do your braids??? I need to REALLY learn this very helpful skill lol. Best thing to know how to do while transitioning

I actually have a straight yaki perm weave that I want to change into a curly weave with no leave out b/c I think it would be easier.
I decided to weave up for this challenge b/c I was tired of seeing my hair and I want to be suprise by my length obtained from weaving.

My district was the 23rd thru the 25th It's that pure language.

My 2-day is coming up in September and I can't wait!

My 2 day is in Sept. too! I'm trying to learn how to do my own hair because there are no black salons in my area. I'm mad because my wigs are not here yet! I am trying to avoid the heat abuse as far as my hair goes. Those 'rows are gorgeous, Janet!

Your in LI I use to live in Laurelton Queens and you can go out there and get the Dominicans or Black salons you just have to travel out of your relm a little you know.

You do such a neat job with your cornrows! They look wayyyyy better than mine. Are you wearing them out or hiding them with a wig or cap?

JJ's right, do a search for the nearest dominican salon. You may have to travel out a ways, but it could be worth the trip.

 

[divachyk]

I'm still hiding and loving it --- it's so easy and simple...bun, bun and more buns.

Do you have any pix of your buns? I need some new ideas. I did buy a set of those Goody Spin pins, but I haven't used them yet. I think I need to buy some cute little ornaments to make my buns look more creative.

I was trying to multiquote but i'm slow but I'm wearing sensationnel hz 7052.

For real around 220 - 230 Merrick Blvd. In Laurelton queens is quite a few Beauty Salons Black, and Dominican and I use to frequent the Dominicans with WL hair they were pricey though with hair that long I had to pay $50 for what everyone else was paying $20 for but they are worth it for sure.

I was in Walgreens 10 minutes ago picked them up and put them back they only had BLonde do they carry black in the Spin Pins?

I don't think so, or at least I couldn't find any. It seems that they only have blond and brunette. So I bought the brunette.

Bimbo told me they only had BLonde,

HUH, I figured they would have to have something for darker hair. I am a brunette so that is fine, LOL!

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Yes ma'am, they sure do. I dug through each and every one of them and found my brunette. I figured they would be covered by so much hair that no one would even see them.
