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

I'm still in. I took a sew in out last week and have been bunning. I did a braid out yesterday so we'll see what it looks like when I take the braids down this morning. I hope it turned out okay.
 
Still in my sew-in...this is week 8. Prior to the sew in I was was bunning. I plan to get my sew in re-done in about a week.

I think every other week is just fine. As a matter of fact, whenever I take DD to our natural hair care stylist, she uses a steam treatment...and that's every other week. I think DD's hair has really thrived because of it.:yep:

I joined the steam challenge, but I haven't been doing jack it it so far.:ohwell:

I glimpsed your name on the steam challenge roster. My hair is sooo soft b/c of the steam treatement that I truly feel that weekly steaming would be too much for my hair.

Divachyk I am relaxed and I steam usually weekly, but I steam my protein treatments in instead of the Moisture :) that seems to work out lovely. If you only steaming moisture I'd do that once every two weeks and follow up with protein.

Otherwise I also like Lace Fronts better, why Because I don't like messing around with blending, sounds like pure laziness to me :lachen: but it also for me is easier. :)

Half wigs are more affordable and offer more variety. I have worn a Half wig before and it was basically a full cap to me I peeled 1/2 inch of hair from the front and smack it back with gel and that was all she wrote.

How are ladies doing this morning :D

Cool, thx! I mix my protein in my DC. I find that works better than doing the steps seperately. I know how I am...I would think that my hair doesn't blend well and I'll find fault with it in some way so I might should go for the lace front and be done with it!
 
Ladies, I see that the Flexi 8 clips got great reviews. I realize I'm late in learning about these new gadgets so it's all new to me although it's old news to most of you. What size do you think I'll need for simple updo's? I was thinking either medium or large....this seems to be another great way to hide my/our hair.
 
I love Flexi 8 clips. Large might work better for you. How thick is your hair? You missed their free shipping sale this past weekend..it was free shipping off of any order 20 bucks or more.
 
can anyone suggest a good braiding tutorial on youtube? there's like a million and I'm not patient enough to sift through them all.
 
So I put in a new set of mini-twists yesterday so my personal challenge is to keep them in until the end of September. I'm reinstating my countdown clock in hopes that I'll make it through the next 14.5 days. I have to do it this time and I'm determined!
ETA: I will NOT manipulate my hair until Sunday when I DC and steam!
 
I'm getting another weave on Saturday. This time, I refuse to use a net! And I don't care if my weave is a little bumpy from the new growth. Hopefully I can keep the weave in until the end of october or early november.

how are your ends doing? any better since you started kicking up the moisture regimen?
 
^^ Well I think it's too soon to tell now BUT they did feel better immediately after I did a cold water rinse the other day, so I'm happy to report that. So I hope that the weekly rinse combined with my extra daily moisturizing will have this problem kicked so they will be smooth and soft for when I straighten in December. :)
 
I can't believe the end of the year is right around the corner. I'm nervous and anxious to see what my results will be by then, but I know one thing's for sure...my hair a lot healthier now than it was just a few months ago.

I must admit that it's new to me too. I think I vaguely remember seeing a pic of these once before, but I didn't give them a second thought. Now I think I need to do some investigating.:grin:
 
I have a question for the wig experts. Is it really bad if I don't wear the little stocking cap or net? I like having access to my scalp...but I don't want to risk breakage (especially since my hair is still damp underneath).:perplexed
 
MsCOCO for a half wig I never wear anything I twist my hair up and in a clip and smack it on :yep: and that was when my hair was much longer than it is now, in the wedding pic with me and my sister my hair was already WL and in the one with the pony, They just need to make larger nets for the pony's so more hair can stick up under there, yet now I have found them then it was you tuck one side the other lifts :lachen:

but no damage from those :nono: :D
 
I looked at the flexi 8 clips before :spank: I just have alot of things don't want to get anymore (YET) :lachen: so I will wait until my birthday probably before going crazy again. lol

I did get my goody set - Pony Pouf, Modern Updo maker, Another set of spin pins, and the puff comb

I absolutely can tell after playing with it, lol the roller set makes the updo's more fun. I love the Pony Pouf and as always the Spin Pins. (I didn't try the others)

Ladies if you don't have SPIN PINS in your life and you wear buns you don't know what your missing and need :kick: LOL :spank: :moon: :spank: :lachen:

I knew my favorite little expert would chime in!:grin:

I'm so glad to hear that because I really don't want to have to use a cap/net.
 
Good Morning Ladies! How's everyone???

JJamiah you're the accessory queen...go for those flexi 8 clips girl! No need to wait for your bday. My bday is in Jan so I plan to make me a list of items to buy for self. Oh and yes, spin pins are FANTABULOUS!

NikkiQ, much better, thx for some insight. I'm like a kid, I hate waiting for juicy news. I love the holidays, that's what I think of most as the year ends. As for my hair! I rollerset rather than air drying this past weekend and wow, my hair has thickened up big time. I LOVE IT! I read somewhere that salons r us is still honoring a $10 off coupon code for the steamer. Hopefully I can snag one of these toward the end of the year.

Chameleonchick, I might wait for another free shipping offer. Surely they'll run some type of special with the holidays nearing. I hate paying shipping. My hair is medium to thick density on a fresh relaxer and thickens up as I stretch. I was thinking of buying 1 medium and 1 large.

davisbr88, hopefully things are going good with your ends.

Ms_CoCo37, what's happening lady?
 
Just checking in. I'm still in the challenge I am wet bunning/puffing tucking ends under and trying to use more accessories. I have issues with manipulating my hair so its better for me to just pull my hair back everyday and KIM.
 
^^ If the bun you're talking about is the one that's in your siggy... :drool:
GORGEOUS! I want to wear a bun soooooo bad! :(
I'm salty.
 
Ok ladies, help a sista out. I am trying to hang in there on this challenge, but I am getting so tired of this dang ponytail. I had to cut my hair to NL because of breakage and don't want to use any weave or wigs. I want to wear my natural hair only. So I've been doing the ponytail. Only problem is it takes a lot of brushing to lay it down and my scalp itches like crazy. Although I can tell it's growing, I still don't have enough in the ponytail to make a bun. Any recommendations? HELP!!! NEWBIE'S IN JEOPARDY.
