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

JJ I'm debating...should I flat iron my hair before the install or just do a good blowout and leave the length check for the big reveal? :rolleyes:

I think I'm gonna do a blowout today instead of flat ironing my hair before my install. Like JJ said, hold off until December for the big reveal. I'm anxious to see how long I can actually hold off doing a length check though :lachen:
 
today I tried my first sock bun...all my other pics have been with me using my hair without a sock....wow, it's huge! not sure i like my buns this big. pics a little fuzzy but check it out.

Was in wig store yesterday....think I will attempt a half wig soon. I got full caps but it's too hot for that plus my wigs look to wiggy.

Okay ladies, I am officially out of this challenge. I ma sorry, this one just isn't for me anymore. I think I'll stick to still hiding my hair but I will be doing more of a personal challenge from now on. Good luck to all of you.

Love etsy. I bought satin hair scrunchie's from them about a month ago. Fast shipping too. Last night I bought a hair stick. Probably will buy more in the next few weeks. I had a ton of stuff in my cart b/c $7 don't sound like much but that adds up after you put about 10 items in your cart. :yep: Here's the one I bought from etsy --->

P.S.
Don't be fooled by them showing they only have 1 in stock of whatever you're looking to buy. They "claimed" they only had 1 in stock of the flower I bought but I see they have another one, just like mine, posted on the site today. In some cases this quantity 1 thing may be true...but I'm finding that it's not, thus far.

OOOHhh Beautiful, I seen so many Beautiful Sticks NOW spill it, show pics how to use them, I Didn't buy any because I didn't know how to use it :(

I would like to place another order eventually because I love accessories.

Does etsy have Jaw Clips fancy ones? I am a lover of those.

Plus if you have any similar to the ones I bought Demonstrate please, Thanks :D

I've used sticks before don't have any pics of using them with a style...In the past I haven't done anything fancy...I've always used two sticks and tuck it in my hair the traditional chinese style...the criss-cross look....when you look at the back of the head, the sticks cross each other to form an X. Promise I'll post a pic of my stick when I get it.

Hold on I assumed only one stick came since one was showing; does these come as two or one? or do you purchase 2 in quantity :confused: I can't wait to see, I will show my efforts :D when they come :D :D :D

She does amazing work and I can't wait to wear them :D

I've been looking around for hair sticks that I would someday like to own and here are some links that I've found (or was informed of by others):

http://www.ketylo.com <---I've heard so many good things about these and want to order some soon. The Dymondwoods are waterproof; so, they're good for wet/damp bunning. These are a favorite at the Long Hair Community. These are gorgeous but simple sticks.

http://www.crystalmood.com <----This site has recieved mixed reviews over at the Long Hair Care Community, but I like my sticks from them and had no issues. There's a sale going on now and many of the sticks are less than $10 (many less than $5).

http://www.dressytresses.com/ <----So many pretty sticks and long lengths too (which is great for thick, curly, coarse hair like mine).

www.longhairloom.com/stickshome.html <----Beautiful and offers Ketylo sticks with toppers

www.longlocks.com/ <---- I've seen a few people at the Long Hair Community with these. These sticks are so gorgeous but EXPENSIVE and from what I've heard shipping is very slow and it can take a few MONTHS to recieve an order. Those that have these sticks say that they're worth it though. As for me, well a gal can dream, lol! I will continue admiring these from afar.

Esty shops with beautiful hairsticks and good reviews:

Hairjems

Timberstone Turnings <----These look okay to me but a lot of people over at the Long Hair Care Community love these. I think the poster Mwedzi, a member on this forum with very beautiful hair, has one.

Aliarose

Night Blooming

Lfaigen

Quecraft<---A lot of people like these. I tend to like hairsticks that are very girly with colors like pink and purple but I am so happy that I didn't overlook these. There are many beautiful sticks here and according to posters at the Long Hair Community and on this forum these sticks are not only inexpensive (many being less than $10) but beautiful, well made, and sturdy.

Nah u right sis, only 1 stick comes with the etsy purchase. I've bought cheapie chinese sticks before that have come two to a pack and have inserted them in the criss cross style.

I can't wait to see your styles. My dh just picked out an etsy item he liked, so guess I'll be buying something else. Dang it and she's already sent my item off, so no savings on consolidated shipping. Oh well.

Exquisite hair has some cheapie chinese sticks that I might buy. They come 2 to a pack. Check out exquisite from the quote I inserted created by CelinaStar.
 
cancelled janet hh half wig, outre kenya and shanti half wigs..

ordered sensationnel hz7047, another 7052 (even though mine is still looking good i want a back up), outre yasmine, new born free aurora.

These are all reorders except aurora..well i ordered her before but it wasnt in stock..hopefully she is this time. I'm pretty much geared up for this challenge. I'm not sure when to use up my pass..maybe the end of sept or something. I think at that pt ill be so busy in law school i won't want my hair out b/c I'll prolly be pulling it out if i wasn't hiding my hair.
 
washed, dcing and braiding it back to go back under sensationnel hz 7052. its her 3rd week and she is still going strong. I washed her with woolite yesterday. Amazing tip!!
 
Morning ladies I just came from getting a facial and my face feels plastic, it is from the cones in one of the products :lachen:

Well Divachyk I might be along with you placing another order. I truely can't wait until they come.

YOU ladies want to hear something sad and funny at the same time :look:

I am wearing my MINA wig today; I was dying to try the SPIN PINS so I twirled the mina in the back and tried the SPin Pins on the wig, What a damn shame. :spank: (it made a small bun but nice and it felt strong)

:lachen:
 
I took out my braids last week and have been bunning. Next week i will incorporate the Ovation Cell Therapy in my regimen to try to get some more length.
