I am putting cornrows in my hair tomorrow...should I take a starting Pic tonight or right before I put them in? Oh yeah .....Will it be ok to start on the 21st instead on the 31st

Yes, you can go ahead and take your starting pic tonight. Just don't post it until I get the starting pix thread up and running. I have no objections to you starting tomorrow. Quite a few people are already in protective styles (myself included).
The official start date is on the 31st (that's when it will really count). Anything prior to that can be considered a "test run". Does that make sense?

A braid out would be considered a low manipulation style but not a protective style since the ends aren't tucked away. Any loose hair styles aren't protective. The ends are still subject to the elements, brushing on clothing, getting caught in purse straps, etc.
OP, I'm in! I'm currently on week 6 with this weave and plan to take it out at 12 weeks. Once I take this one out, I'm gonna straighten and trim. If I made good progress over the 3 months, I plan to get another weave installed and take it out in early to mid December. If not, I may get it braided or wear a bun or something.
ETA: I won't have any starting pics though because I'll still be in my weave when I start. Can I use the pics I took in June before I got it installed?

I'm in!!!!! At least I want to be in but let me just make sure I understand this... If I wear my hair in box braids like it is now and they rub up on my shoulders, then it is a low manipulation style but if I put my braids up into a ponytail, it is a protective style??? TIA I have a tooth ache and my thought processes are a bit off...

Looks like I'll have to search for pinned up braidout styles. I'm so use to wearing my braidouts loose.

Hey Ladies, I am back in the game while my last two wigs fell through on purchase I ordered 2 more last week. Short bobs, I ordered the MEsh wig cap. I also purchased 3 LF on the exchange so that is 5 in total coming my way. The first two are human hair and the other three are future meaning I can still use my iron.
MY PLANS for the rest of 2010 and all of 2011 is as follows:
I will wear my hair 4 weeks with beehive and wear a LF/Wig ontop
I will wear my hair out 2 weeks in between refreshing my braids
I will relax every 4 months as usual
after my relaxer I will wait 4-5 weeks to get my hair braided, during this time I will go to the DOOBIE shoppe and enjoy my hurr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Monthly - Nexxus Treatment/DC
Except week before relaxer where I will give myself and aphogee treatment
Daily or every other day - Spritz with a good spritz, or my own mix
Low Agitation of braids while they are in
