godzchildtoo is your hair at a length to bun? sometimes I will put my hair in a bun and leave some out as a bang in the front

Thanks for the response, not long enough to bun YET. But I do love the bang idea. I'm going to try it, my hair has more length in the front, kind of like a bob.
 
Hi Ladies! Earlier today I was reading about a spray that you all order somewhere in this thread. One was with oil, one was without. Now I can't find it in these 91 pages. What was the oil and what's it for again? Thanks so much
 
I love these types of challenges, because my hair likes to be left alone (whether in a bun, braid, or under a wig). I usually do a "HYH" chall each year from late Aug/Sept to late March of the following year. It helps so much that I leave my hair alone in winter, and just maintian with washing/condish, moisturizing, and oiling the scalp. Talk about fast growth (I'm a slow grower at times). In late spring and summer, I let my hair out, lol. LF's, FLW's, and full wigs are my go-to for the HYH chall I do each year. HHG ladies!

Hey everyone! I know I'm late but I'd like to join you all in this challenge.

I'm trying to keep my hair in a PS for the majority of the fall and winter because Jersey gets cold!

I just got my hair cornrowed today and I'm going to try to keep them in for at least 4 weeks. Then, I'll let my hair rest for 1-2 weeks and repeat. So thats the plan.

My hair is only about 2.5 - 3 inches long so if I keep this up, hopefully I will have 4.5 inches by the end of this challenge.

Wow, you seem to have an excellent growth rate. Can you please share your regimen?
 
Just checking in ladies. I still have in my crochet braids. It has only been two weeks but if feels like forever to me. I have two more weeks to go and I'll either try to put mini box braids in my hair without extensions so I can bun it. The first and last time I tried mini box braids my hair was so frizzy so I have to see what I can do about that. I think rather than blowdrying I'll airdry my hair with flat twists that is very moisturized and give my self two days to get it done so they will be fairly small and neat. If they turn out good, that will be the style for the month of October. So countdown on - 14 days to go.

Good Morning Ladies! How's everyone???

[MENTION=10041]JJamiah[/USER] 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?

LOL, godzchildtoo, yes it is NU-Gro Hair Spray w/ Moisturizer. It definitely softens the hair it is a great product :) I still use it :) Not daily as it can make my hair toooooo soft. It smells great too.

MsCoco how do you like it? She also uses it ;)

Thanks so much! When my hair is loose I "spray-moisturize-seal" my hair daily.

Spray -- water and Rosemary EO
Moisturize -- Carol's Daughter Healthy Hair Butter
Seal -- Castor Oil

I also shampoo and deep condition once a week with Renpure Organics Shampoo (red bottle) and Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Conditioner.

Now I'm in cornrows under a wig. And my reggie is still pretty much the same. :)
 
UBER excited!
Change of plans.
I am going to continue baggying in my mini-twists til the end of the month, in the beginning of October, I am going to wear a short wig, and then I have an appointment to get a sew-in with Bohemian hair on October 14! The hair is kind of cheap so I'm guessing it'll only last about a month, so after I take that down, I'll put in the extension braids and wear those until December 31. SOOOO excited about the sew-in!
 
NikkiQ --- either Dec (hoping they have a holiday sale of some sort) or Jan (my bday Jan 30th) and what about you? i steamed using the home steamer method and my hair is still super soft a week later. i'm soooo impressed with how great the bootleg method worked that i feel the real deal method will be 10x better.
 
I am getting a relaxer at the very end of October. I will next week get my hair braided back up :yep: she has to be gentle on my scalp and leave that in for two weeks. Wearing a lace front on top. all I know is I need the week before my relaxer to do a good protein treatment that way my hair is prepared. :)
 
I got 2 of my wigs!!!

Tried on Opal and HATED it!!! Its one of those wigs you have to work with in order to get it to look good. I am no such person.

Tried on Puffy...and I wasn't too sure about it...then grabbed some scissors, spray and a headband...now I LOVE it! My plan is to rock out with this one for as long as possible. I can see myself repurchasing it. Its synthetic but it feels so nice...kind of like the ultimate twist out. And thank God its not shiny! I hate shiny wigs. :nono:

^^^well now those are hot! I love the green ones...but that's my favorite color so I'll lean towards those anyway.
 
I want my darn 10 dollars I could buy alot of conditioner with that LOLOLOL

Yeah I want all of them; I got the black ones and they ARE HOTTTTT! I love them :) I want them all :look: I do I do,

Nikkki I am going to sleep now, I have been running rampid and I am exhausted. My husband over here talking you know what, about him wishing I wanted you know what. I am like LOOK DUDE, I AM TIRED, been busy all week, and last week too, next week time should start to die down with all the meetings and stuff. :)

Tomorrow is Spa day LOL, my sis and me are going to get treated.
 
Hey guys I havent posted in soooo long, been so busy since school started back :blush:. Im still in, though. since my crochet braids I have had two sets of cornrows, worn the Tammy by Outre half wig(which everyone seemed to think was my own :lachen:), and this past week I have been wearing my hair in a twist out(which many people seemed to think was a weave :rolleyes:). This weekend I am going home and trying to see how I would like to do it next If my hair comes in I can have the option of keeping on Tammy, wearing a braid out or twistout, Doing box braids or Senegalese twists cornrows, or doing a sew-in or a quick weave wig. :spinning: But If the hair is not at my house when I get there Im going to first :spank: Hairsisters.com because I placed that order over a week ago. 2 if the hair isnt there Ill only have the options of doing something with my own hair, my tammy, or the braiding hair I brought from the bss.
 
I wore the motown tresses wavy 3/4 wig today and I LOVE it. My family, some of whom are super critical, adored the look on me. I didn't do a braid out in the front. I just did the scarf thing again and it looked super cute with the outfit that I had on. Yep! She's a keeper. I like it so much that I think I'll go buy another one...just in case.
 
i guess i'll do my weekly DC later today and will rock a bun for the remainder of the week. i will attempt air drying AGAIN. i can do a pretty nice roller set but i suck at air drying. the only way i know to air dry is with doing a braidout and i'm tired of that look. i will continue bunning until i find a nice half wig.
 
Checking in still wearing a bun, will think to rebraid my hair next week not this week, :yep: when I will do another motions steam treatment and nexxus treatment (myself) and then cap it with my trusty travel companion Cholesterol cap self heating for 20-30 minutes or more since time is of the essence :)

My bunning is going well, this is helping me out through my Ugh I am tired of my hair season :yep:
