[JJamiah]

So I went to the BSS on my lunch break and picked up these 2 for my sew in on Saturday. What? A girl's gotta have options

plus they were on sale....

LOL hey nothing wrong with a sale. I like #2 as well

YEAH, all of us with our new hair D

 

[NikkiQ]

I'm so confused!! I might let my mom or bf pick out the hair for this install and use the other next time

So the braids are officially out and the DC is in and boy my hair is THICK!!!

 

[NikkiQ]

The braids are finally out!!! I didn't flat iron my hair yet, but from what it looks like wet...I'm about 3.5" from APL!!! Yay hair!!!

 

[JJamiah]

Nikki I know your happy.

On another note, MIna feels a little better than she did before washing and I hope she feels this way when the wind hits it.

 

[chelleypie810]

is there any type of spray that will relieve my itchies while in these braids??

I used BRX Spray by African Royale and it works wonders.

I use Parnevu T-Tree Braid SPray it is pretty good $5.00 at my BSS. It cools the scalp for real. I have no complaints. I still can't wait to take these braids DOWN in 5 days 5 DAYS I tell you!

I use BRX Extension Braid Spray and I give my scalp a vigorous rub down/massage and this seems to work for me.

^^I had to go back and look to see which one it was! lol. I'll probably do that one for a sleeker look, but the curls would work for the rest of the summer. AHHHH! so confused!

All my buns kinda look alike. I posted my braid out, southern tease and side bun about a week ago. Here's a pic of my high bun....looks the same but placed differently.

Is it to late to join the challenge?

 

[bryantgurls]

Hello ladies, just wanted to give you all a little update. I have been wearing a straight half wig since the start of my HYH challenge and decided to finally purchase a full wig today. This is what I got except in a 1B/30 similar to the one shown in the second pic... Meet Loretta...

 

[Firstborn2]

Hi Ladies,
I haven't been checking in but I'm still in the challenge. I took my extensions out on 8-7, did a mild protein treatment, let my hair rest 1wk in a bun and rebraided on the 14th..most likely I'm going to keep these in for 6wks and repeat the process..I need 3inches by the end of the yr!

 

[Firstborn2]

Cute BG, love the color.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Morning Ladies!

I haven't read all of the post yet (gonna have to back track).

When I got home last night I had the worse migraine. I hopped in the shower and get straight in the bed. This morning, I opted for glasses instead of my contacts. I'm hoping that will help to keep the migraine at bay.

I'm going to make it my mission to find someone to do some crochet braids for me. Either that, or I will be re-twisting.

Firstborn2, are you doing your own braids? If so, how long does it take you?

 

[chelleypie810]

is there any way to wear a lace front wig as a 1/2 wig?????

 

[winona]

Ooopps Havent been checking I think I need to add all the challenges I am in to my siggie to remind myself I have been wearing buns. Either with braided front or just straight buns. I have been so incredibly lazy but at least I am staying on point with dcing so my hair hasnt suffered.

I soooo feel you on this one. I haven't done much experimenting with protective styles the way I should. I need to get it in gear. I just get bored so easily...not to mention the fact that I'm lazy.erplexed

YOu can take a little of your own hair out in front to have your natural hairline if this is what your asking.
