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

Okay so I got my new install in today and I absolutely LOVE IT!!!!! I went with the curlier hair that I showed you ladies and it was a great choice. Long and soft. I'm at about MBL/touching WL with it curled up. This is my goal length!!! When I get a chance to take better pics, I will be sure to post them for you all to see :D
 
I can't wait to see your install Nikki :D

I am doing nothing much today just enjoying my day; Brushing the crap out or Mina, figure I will burn quite a few calories and get muscles that way :D

too cute. make sure you rub with both arms so that you balance out the muscles. :grin:

Here's a pic with 1 hair stick that I already had in my stash. I usually stick 2 sticks in my hair but I lost 1 of them. :nono: I'm not creative at all. In the past I've tried using sticks to actually secure the hair in a messy bun but didn't get a good hold. Now, I secure the hair first and then accessorize with the stick rather than securing hair with it.

^^^ I will keep that in mind LOL! Don't want one arm looking like Popeye and the other like Olive Oil

I am super excited right now I am I am, Next week comes a load of new toys and it's my wash day so I get to play and practice with lots of things :yep:
 
So I went shopping @ my local bss to re-up on some supplies and to check out some half wigs. I ended up in the phonytail section and grabbed a straight hip length phonytail. Oh, you know what I'm gonna say. YOU CAN'T TELL ME NADA!!!

This is full on Diva and if I were at my laptop, I'd post a pic fo sho! Lol. I think my phonytails will hold me over for a bit. :yep:
 
hey ladies, just got back from vacation and I was rocking up do and ponytails all last. I will be rocking twist outs this week.
 
NJ your keep rocking your Pony's and I want to see it girl, :D

3J great job keeping up your PSing :D
I have 3 more days until I take down the braids and I will be trying out my spin pins and all :D
 
Okay I know I've been silent since I've joined but I'm ready & in full action tonight I'm washing and conditioning my hair. Braiding it and letting it air dry & tomorrow I will be getting my curly weave. Hiding my hair isn't going to be that hard after this.
 
Sorry I had to use a pass for this week (If there is one). Start of the fall semester and I didn't want to look like a crazy woman for the start.
 
Okay here are the pics I took yesterday after the install was done. Had to take them with my phone of course :lachen:

My braids are super fuzzy right now and I am ssoooooo not happy about it. Its only been like 6 days...I wasn't expecting to combat fuzz until week 2. I tie my hair down every night and I only rinsed my hair once in the shower (no smooshing or scrubbing...just ran water through my hair)...Oh well...I am still determined to keep them in for 4 weeks like I initially planned because I refuse to let my 50 bucks go to waste.
 
Onto week 3 and I am going strong on this challenge. I'm so proud!!! I will be getting a perm at week 13 and hopefully I will have a substantial amount of growth..I have about..an 3/4 to an inch right now..which is pretty good..b/c I'm only 7 weeks post.
 
So pretty @ Nikki I love the curls! Chelly I purchased my first synthetic lacefront got her in the mail yesterday and I was soooo scared once I pulled her out the box, but I got my youtube on and was able to cut the lace successfully, I plan to leave some of my hair out for a more natural hairline, Ill post pics when I put her on tomorrow ;)

Right now Im just prepooing my hair took it down from my sew in and lets just say I have a head full of new growth Im going on 15 wks post got 11 more weeks to go till I relax if I do relax at all well see Im so indecisive at this point, gonna prepoo overnite, wash and dc and airdry tomorrow braid my hair up and slap Lauren on oooh I cant wait :-)!

Looking good Nikki :D
Polished congrats on that first Lacefront, you only get better with time.
I purchased my first HH Lacefronts last week and I am so anxious to get them :D

I have 2 more days until I break down my braids and give my hair a good scrubbing. :) I will Deep condition as well as steam my hair is definitely over do :)

I sprayed my hair with the Nu Gro and Braid spray last time before the take out.
 
hello, ladies
I am not officially in the challenge, but i would like to know if anyone wearing sating cap under their wig if so where did you buy it (only Brooklyn or Manhattan).
 
Im still in the hide your hair challenge!
Been rocking this same weave for 4 weeks and this is some cheap $20 per bag hair! On the other hand the hair in my avatar is Goddess Remy French deep that I only kept for 2 weeks! Thank God the guy at the hair boutique only charged me $60 per bag, if i paid the standard $90 I wouldve been so sick!

Here is my current install:

I have been wearing my hair out since the 18th so I could play in my curls, but I will be back under my wig and for the rest of the challenge starting tomorrow! I don't want to, but I know it will definitely help since I know I manipulated the mess out of my hair and if I kept it out, I would be doing too much damage.
 
I had to cut part of my net weave off my edges since I notice a lot of my hairline was being pulled out. Next weave, I'm leaving my hair line out. I hope I did not cause myself a setback.
 
i'm back and with pictures lol. this is how i will be rocking my hair for the first couple of weeks of school!

^^^Totally loving that!!

Thanks JJ and Polished! I'm loving it so far.
JJ I know you can't wait to take the braids out in a few days. Have you decided on the PS's that you're gonna do until your next set of braids?
 
Hey, I am actually pretty good, Not anxious anymore lol.

I most likely will use my Spin Pins and do a side bun for a few days and then I will switch it up to something else. :D

September 10 it all goes back in but I will be enjoying my free time until :)
 
I'm gonna shoot for October 16th to be the take out date for me. That'll be 8 weeks in the install and 25 weeks post relaxer. It was so funny when my stylist saw my hair yesterday. I had blown it out, applied some profectiv and brushed it down so it wouldn't be too wild. When she took my ponytail down and started to part it, she said she noticed the NG and was surprised I had that much in just 4-5 weeks since she had last seen me. Talk about made my day. I hope this trend continues on for the next year or so. I'll be to my BC goal length in no time(NG at SL)
 
:)

Sounds great Nikki, I have 2 years of trying this out but like I said this is a possible Life time change for me. I do plan to continue to relax, but I love not having to cater to my hair 24/7

So the 4/2/6 might be forever will let you know in 2 years ;)
 
I'm trying to decide what I'm going to wear under my wig. Maybe individual twists? I want something that will stay maybe 2 weeks or something...
 
^^^Can you do a nice flat twist? They can work under the wig and when you don't want to wear it, you can do a cute twist out! :yep:

Ehhhhhh.... not really. They're not that great. Lol. Plus, I don't have much hair at all anymore so I don't know if it's even possible anymore!
