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

I removed my crochet braids last week. It was my first self install and they held up pretty well (kept them for 1 month). For the past week I've been bunning but I miss my install. I may do some more crochet braids sometime next week.

Thank you Janet! But yours is gorgeous!:love: How did you get your hair to lay smooth like that? I would be at it for days. I don't know why, but my ponytails and buns always have some kind of lump.:look:

Me too! I think it's because my hair is very thick but not very long (just past SL). I need to find a way to fix the lump.
 
JJ the NG is starting to buckle out from underneath the braids now. IDK how much longer I can hold on :nono:
 
a few pics of the latest wig and quick weave ive been wearing.. the quick weave was made with supernatural 1st lady by outre and the wig is a lace front but i cant think of her name i got her fr a bs store in my neighborhood.

I got some good advice from another thread. I've decided to continue with the challenge. I can't let discouragement get the better of me.

I am becoming obsessed with crochet braids as a new protective style. I would like to try and get them done next Saturday.:yep:

Me too! My hair is so incredibly thick and dense. I get tired of trying to smooth it down. I'll finally give up and embrace my lumps.:grin:

I'm glad you decided to stick with the challenge. You know we're all here to support you.:yep:
 
I bought a pony puff! Surprisingly, DH likes it! He said that he didn't like the pony puff style, and he doesn't like fake hair, but he kept telling me how pretty I am when I'm wearing it. :lol: He is a man of mystery. Here's a pic.

Hey Nikki, Go ahead and take them down, I will still be here :) I have some time to go but go ahead and remove the braids and take them down.

It's all good :)

I can't wait until my 1 week and 3 days come :lick: <--- that is all she wrote!
 
Good Morning Ladies :D, 1 week and 2 days to go. Going Hard, Going Hard!

Ladies I love Mina, but don't get too close to the GRILL or her ends might get a little frayed looking.
 
Why do my braid outs look horrible???? The whole purpose was to do a week of the PS and then a week of the low manip "out" (whether it be braid or twist)...This is not working for me:wallbash::wallbash::wallbash:

One side looks very nice, I had a similar situation where one side came out nice and the other was :nono:

Aww... I actually think it's kind of cute...:look:
But if you feel that way, a headband and slicked back sides seems to save everything.

ETA: Or maybe even a braid-out puff (or ponytail puff since your hair is so long)
 
I will heading over to the lady that braids my hair to have my hairline re-done in about 2 hours and keep the braids in for another 3-4 weeks. Then I'll be in my half wig that I bought from a store where they actually make the wigs out of 100% remy human hair. I already bought mine so I'll try to take a pic of it and post it up here when I do.

Happy hiding ladies.
 
Hair is in a twist out bun. My twists just luck tooo thin. When I was relaxed I always thought my hair was super thick not I am starting to believe that my hair is fine:/

I just took the back down and its better now. She had all the braids kinda sewn together in the back and I couldn't get to the hair in between very well. With it down now, I feel a little bit better so I MAY be able to rock them out until you take yours out.
 
My sensationnel wig is still going strong! I washed her this morning since she was starting to get tangly..and she's good as new. I permed my edges and rebraided my hair this wknd. So I'm still going strong! I'm trying to take it 1 wk at a time.
 
Hey ladies. It's been a minute since I've checked in. Beginning of the school year means no LHCF :lol:. I'm still hiding my hair. I'm trying to figure out different things to do with the front because pulling my hair straight back is not a good look. The shorter hairs always end up sticking up by the end of the day....actually, by the MIDDLE of the day. :nono:
