Hey ladies! I got a sew-in!!! I am in love:) It's a full sew in with no hair left out...so no blending necessary. I got it Friday, Aug. 20 and I plan on keeping it in until the end of November.:spinning:

I love it. I plan to do crochet braids Labor day weekend but was researching the possibility of getting a weave with no hair left out to take me from October thru the end of the challenge. I've never had a weave before so I have some questions for you if you don't mind.

What is the brand of the hair used? And how many packs or ounces were used? And other words of advice?

Thanks in advance.
 
No prob, Nisha.

I always get BSS hair for my installs. If you are getting a long hairstyle...I would suggest more quality hair like Bobbi Boss Indi Remi, or Sensationnel Goddess Remi. Since I was getting a bob, I got Milky Way Saga Gold, which is lower on the price point. It is known to shed and tangle after washing a bit more than the other 2 brands that I mentioned...but since my hairstyle is short...it shouldnt be a problem.

My advice is to go on the salons forum and inquire about a weavologist in your area (if you haven't already gotten one) Make sure that you've seen their work in person...esp. with a full weave...some look amazing, and some look a H.A.M. depending on your stylist. My stylist is amazing...i love him! He leaves my edges out per my request, and is awesome at razor-cutting. His braider is great, and he's not heavy handed...so I'm not in excessive pain. Good luck! Can't wait to see the pics:)
 
Hey ladies are the rollersets considered "hiding your hair," too? Somebody please clarify this for me. Maybe I didn't use one of my passes lol

Still doing my thing with my phonytails. As promised, here's my latest acquistion. Ms Thang herself, Nadia.

Synthetic, feels real and withstands heat so, curlable (um, did I just make up a word? :perplexed). Yep. Diva length!

It's too hot to wear hair all over my head but, I can be long and lucious still, can't I? In full Diva mode. Ya heard??! :grin:
 
Yeah I would think so since its not really showing the true length of your hair. When it starts to droop though, pin that bad boy up! lol
 
^^ I think OP already said braid- and twist-outs are only HYH if they are pinned in an updo... or maybe I am mistaking that for something else.
 
^^^Well, then, I will be pinning my hair up, then...My rollersets still definitely HIDE my length, but I want to be in compliance! Thanks!
 
Nice PIC ladies whew you ladies are doing it up in here.

I decided to keep my bun under my Vera, LOL I didn't want to look so blah and my bun is still 4 strands of hair cute but I want to WOW myself LOL. Plus maybe these curls will set someones mind at ease LOL!
 
^^ LOVE VERA! Can't wait til I switch out on the 1st. :)
The longer I go, the easier this becomes. I am definitely in it for the long haul JJ! We can do it!

Definitely we are going to do this! :D

I also love that Vera is Reversible so I love wearing her with the tag part forward.

My scalp is very sore from taking down the braids today :cry2:

I still can't wait to get it rebraided September 10 :D Excited I tell you!
 
Thanks for the clarification ladies, my curls don't touch my shoulders and they hide my length. I will pin or bun it up once it starts to hang.

(grabs pass back off the table, puts in pocket):look:

Another question are puffs considered hiding your hair? Sorry I have so many questions. My real hair hasn't been out, as I've been half wigging all summer.

MSCOCO where are YOU AT?

I TEXTED YOU?

WHERE DID YOU HIDE? :sekret:

HMMMMM>>>>>?????
 
I'm about to go purchase a half wig. I have an interview coming up and I don't wanna wear my bun again...but do you ladies think the bun is ok. I wear it very neat and sculpted. But I think the half wig may switch things up.

As long as the bun looks professional. The half wig is nice as long as it isn't too much. I think the half wig I am wearing might be a bit much for an interview the way I am wearing it. maybe something shorter and managed. I have it teased out alot.
 
^^ Co-sign. I wouldn't wear a big, curly MBL half-wig (for example) to an interview, but it also does depend on what the job entails. If you're applying at a funky fashionable retail store, the half-wig might be right up your alley. If you're applying at an office, I would do the bun. I think I would always go with a bun (who can get more professional than that?) regardless because they are definitely the safest. But if you're applying at American Apparel or something, they LOVE big natural, curly hair, so that would be a different story.
 
yeah...i'm thinking the bun wins. but if i find a nice believable angled bob wig...it might be a go. lol. I'll post my decision tomorrow...lol
 
Just checking in ladies!! I co-washed my weave for the first time and I think it was a success... the hair regained bounce & I felt clean underneath!! Yay me. I have found that my Remy has been shedding kinda frequently lately but that could be as a result of me not tying it up.
 
I would like to enter the challenge. I have been in mid length/waist length braids (ala Janet Jackson 's Poetic Justice braids, just smaller) a little over a month. I did them myself. So I have that part down. I have gone back to my first "hair love" which was the crown and glory method. I had gotten a lot of growth out of that years ago. I do not want to come out of braids until Dec. 31 (maybe a little before, my wedding anniversary in Dec. 31 and my husband asked if he could see my hair-lol, yeah it's been hiding for a while. I had been wearing sew-ins prior). My goal for this challenge is 3 inches for Christmas/New Years. I will basically wash, oil, use Infusium 23 leave-in, and reinstall braids as needed and that is it.
