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

lol i'm in! i'm joining this challenge too which makes challenge #54534543 right now (feels like it anyway! lol) but I intend to be baggying, wearing hats (over a shower cap and silk scarf), and wearing wigs (or half wigs if possible). I'll be letting my hair breathe by buying a silk beanie, if I can find one, and putting it on (post moisturizing my hair) and letting my scalp and hair just breathe or wrapping it with a large silk shawl/scarf!

My hubby will be gone on business (so I don't really care how I look in that regard lol) until probably around Dec 25th or so, so I would :love: to show him how much i've grown since he left!!
 
Oooooohhhhh, add me, add me!:clap::clap: I am 2 months post BC and I miss my variety, so I'm getting microbraids on Saturday morning. I am doing the Crown and Glory method, so at 9 weeks, I'll be taking my braids down and rocking a wig for 2-3 weeks. Then, I'll see if I'll be back in braids or two strand twists. :yep:

I'm excited! It's time for Operation Grow : :boxing::boxing:
 
I would like to join. I am in a DC challenge, growth challenge, and the WL by 2013 challenge hehehe A girl has to have goals right?:) I find PSing is easier for me as I dont have to think about what to do with my hair except once a week:)

I am a new to the forum and soaking in all the new information! I know I have no pictures or anything at the time, but I was planning on doing a similar challenge (on my own), but I think if I actually start with people, I will have the strength and encouragement to not give in, therefore I would love to join the challenge, how do I join?

Yes. Hiding your hair with a group of people is a lot better than trying to do it on your own. We can all share ideas for PS and that will help when we begin to get bored. :grin:

I think God may be trying to tell me something. I was supposed to get my sew-in installed today....but the girl didn't make it. She got in an accident with her baby in the car (They're ok thank God!) and she has to deal with the legal woes of it all. The last time I tried to get a sew-in installed my bf called me saying our dog, Seven, "looked dead". :perplexed I went back to the house and saw him dead. I lost my head that day.....anyway! I don't think its meant for me to get a sew-in! But Im not doing braids and nothing else looks right so Im at a loss right now....:sad::sad::sad:

But whatever may happen, Im doing this challenge!!!!!

Today's protective style is a wash n' go. I twisted the front because my edges are thin:

OMG.......Girl you make me wanna grow this relaxer out RIGHT NOW!!! ((sigh)) I wonder what my natural hair would look like right now if I hadn't slapped this relaxer back in it!!!! :ohwell:

I'm in!!!!! At least I want to be in but let me just make sure I understand this... If I wear my hair in box braids like it is now and they rub up on my shoulders, then it is a low manipulation style but if I put my braids up into a ponytail, it is a protective style??? TIA I have a tooth ache and my thought processes are a bit off...

Looks like I'll have to search for pinned up braidout styles. I'm so use to wearing my braidouts loose.

I think braids and braidouts would work just fine for this challenge. I also believe that if your braidout or twistout is not touching your shoulders, then it is a protective style. That just my opinion. The whole point of the challenge is to hide your length from people (and yourself) so that there will be surprise in seeing your new length at the end. Those styles do just that. Of course, most people hide their hair by protective styles such as buns, sew-ins, wigs, etc. But you don't have to. Hope that makes sense.
 
Since I am doing 4 weeks on and 2 weeks off; during my two weeks off I will most likely PHony Pony it up. PLan on using all my passes during Novembers Relaxer :D

My WIGS came in YESTERDAY DAMN, HairSISTERS Is really surprising me right now :D
and I likey. I showed the hubby some new ones I'd like but I guess I need to get busy with these first. LOL.

So I can't wait until I get home to my hair. :D
 
Determined to keep this braid ps challenge KISS, I sprayed braids last night w/Lanza Healing moisture and oiled scalp w/Bee Mine. I baggied last night, and I think I will do so 3-4 days/wk

This morning sprayed w/Paul Mitchell Awapui. ... w/glycerine added (a bit). Lenzie's Request on edges.

I'm waiting on MT so when it comes ill incorporate it also, but that's it until they are used up.

ugh....I love that site!!!!! And there's always some good sales going on.
 
I'm so in, especially with the pass every 2 months. I think I'll get a trim the week coming up and then I'll be so ready. I'll probably do wigs, twists, and buns, maybe braids.

Who are you telling, I have 4 in my box right now. Only thing I can't stand is I order and then if they are out of stock they say they called but 2 weeks pass and I am like :nono: where is my hair or my money one or the other. LOL

This time I ordered on the 15th at night and by the 21st it was delivered :) I am happy!

I am like ready to click my heals. I have to be in here keeping the encouragement.

I am like let the Party Begin. Wondering what I am going to do to get it started. I think I will stick to ORS Replenishing Pac and a Nexxus treatment before braiding this baby up.
 
ive never stopped ordering from hairsister's especially when they have their 20% off sales.. I get great pieces for like 16 to 20 dollars. I've been rocking super natural 1st lady weave as a quick weave glued on a wig cap. its looks so beautiful, i have about 5 at home, and i make them every 3 to 4 weeks.. its a lot lighter than an actual wig, so this will be my do for the summer. i am braided in cornrows underneath and spritz twice a day with my mix of scurl passion fruit smoothie vo5 water and coconut oil. Braids down every 2 weeks or so, and then right back to the same routine. Oh i cowash about 2 to 3 times a week. and relax maybe 1x every 4 to 5 months..

Happy growing ladies!

Even with the sew-in done, I'm gonna be on the hunt for the next LF I want to wear while my hair it out of the braids lol

you're like my drug pusher! :lachen::lachen::lachen:

I was addicted to full wigs for years and then moved onto sew-ins. I only got into the LF b/c when I went to the BSS shopping around for a new full wig, there was a chick there putting on a LF. Granted her edges were non-existant and it scare the bejesus out of me, but I still wanted to give it a try. Poor darling was using glue AND tape!

Have you kicked Ms. Gina to the curb or is she still alive and kicking? LOL

Oh she's very much so alive and well. She's my money maker. When I have promotional gigs, I wear her and its like she turns you into a whole new person :grin:
 
I sooooo want to join this challenge.

Actually I decided yesterday to bun from now on til the end of the year. I even went out to walmart last night and bought those Goody Ouchless bands- but I intend to leave my hair out only on the weekends just so it can breathe and I can wear it out on Sunday :ohwell:. Because of that, I don't think I can join, but I'll be hiding my hair with you ladies... in spirit. Good luck ladies!
