Hey everyone! I know I'm late but I'd like to join you all in this challenge.

I'm trying to keep my hair in a PS for the majority of the fall and winter because Jersey gets cold!

I just got my hair cornrowed today and I'm going to try to keep them in for at least 4 weeks. Then, I'll let my hair rest for 1-2 weeks and repeat. So thats the plan.

My hair is only about 2.5 - 3 inches long so if I keep this up, hopefully I will have 4.5 inches by the end of this challenge.

For Now Just get a shirt with stripes probably got one in your closet and only wear this one for your pics, you don't really see the t work until you get to APL so I'd use a strip shirt, atleast my numbers didn't start until APL. but just use a stripped shirt :)

i've been bunning like its not ones buisness.. lol i bun when im at the gym and after i wash i put it in two twists much like two fat french braids but easier to take down and put in. i can honestly say that this style is my staple its easy and lasts like three or four days and thats why i love it soo much! im always looking for protective styles. ill probably do some french braids, or one big one in the middle of my head, i need a change from my regular two twists.

Hi Ladies! You're definitely not too late. Just go to the first post and add your name to the list (by clicking on the Thanks button). Then click on the starting pics link and add your pic.

Fake BUn, Phony Pony, Knotted head wrap this is all I can think of for my PSing for after I take these braids out for the two weeks after I take these down. Any other suggestions?

I don't want to deal with gel or anything. I'd do braids but I don't have the Forehead for it. :nono:

What do you mean you don't have the forehead for it??? There is nothing wrong with your forehead ma'am.

I have been doing buns for the last two weeks. My sister says I sound like Bubba from Forrest Gump but instead of different shrimp dishes, I say I can do a high bun, wet bun, donut bun, double side bunnettes (my hair might be around APL in the back but shrinkage is my friend), etc. :lachen:

I have never wore buns before so they aren't getting old yet and I'm constantly searching to find what others with natural hair do as far as buns go. I tend to cowash a few times a week and redo the bun so I'll have to see how that affects retention.

Let's hope I can keep the buns up thru Labor Day weekend when I can maybe tackle crochet braids if I'm up to it.

:lachen::lachen::lachen: You're going to HAVE to post pics of some of these buns! I'm desperate for new ideas!

I don't know what it is that I'm doing wrong, but my buns and french braids never last more than a day. I find myself having to redo them each morning.:nono:
 
^^ Hey MsCoco how are you? :D

I used the gifted NU-Gro and I must say I like it alot, I just hate the shipping cost of $11 attached to it, :(

I might Have to make a special trip to a state to pick it up :D

HUH! I like it alot though it feels great. :D

Hey Girlie! This morning got off to a very rough start. But I made it!:yep: How are you?

I'll have to check and see if we have NU-Gro here. If so, I could mail it to you.:yep:
 
I just looked at the site and we have A LOT of stores down here in LA that has it, but one store is maybe 15min from me.
 
Oooooh! Thanks for the link, JJ!
And be quiet, Nikki!!!! Lol.
I am interested in that spray...I found it at Texas Beauty Supply online store. They may have cheaper shipping.
 
What is that stuff? I mean is it like growth aides or something? I didn't really read up on it. What do you use?

I'm so sorry!!!!
If it makes you feel better, you mentioning it is helping me to make a new decision for better hair health...? :look:

:D I do like it if you like oils but light this is pretty good, my hair feels real soft, and not oily. I like it! my hair is sooooooo soft. LOL! I only used the Hair-Gro Spray w/moisturizer.
 
Okay I'm totally plotting right now. I told my hair chick that I wanted a looser wave/curl for my next install(something not as overbearing) and an invisible part. Now...time to browse weave!!! :yep:
