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

[divachyk]

I washed my hair tonight and because I need to get my hair looking in some orderly manner for work tomorrow, I have to manipulate it pretty excessively to get it to lay flat to put into a bun....I hate when strands overlap and my hair doesn't lay flat. I lost a good bit of hair through manipulation but some of that was shedding because I don't comb throughout the week. I do believe a little breakage might have been off in there too. *sigh* I need a wig fast so that I can wash, moisturize/seal, pull it back, air dry and go without worrying about how neat the hair looks. ETA: good nite, chat with you all tomorrow.

Morning All,

Ms. blue Very nice. How is everyone doing? I am still hiding my hair. Between buns, french rolls and next week back into my lace front. My relaxer date moved a week earlier as I have several parties to take my kids to at the end of October

Still hiding my hair underneath my sew-in.

Thanks for the compliments ladies! I'm trying to keep this install for 8 weeks then give myself a two break and go back weaving.

 

[grow]

have been wet (or let's say damp) baggy bunning consistently.

i think i'm getting over the hump of bunning as i continue to be more post perm.

it's just the first 2-3 weeks post perm that are hard to bun....my hair really wants to be out to play in those days, lol!

do you do self installs b/c it looks amazing!

 

[davisbr88]

Was going to wait another 8 days to take down my twists, but I have some free time now and I really want to pamper myself since I have a horrendous week coming up. Think I'll wash, DC, band to dry, and maybe put in some finger coils or something - I hate the way straw curls look on me, so I'll be doing mine on the larger side with this Komaza Coconut Hair Pudding that I just got in the mail. I'll post if it comes out nicely (which I sort of doubt... lol)

 

[NikkiQ]

^^^you know they're gonna come out nice so you better post those pictures young lady!

I have enough NG right now to have my braid in the very middle of my head (towards the back) laying SIDEWAYS!! aiy chihuahua!!! lol

 

[ms.blue]

do you do self installs b/c it looks amazing!

I wish I could do a self install but maybe I will since weaving is costing me money.

 

[davisbr88]

@NikkiQ: Girl, you never know with my hair. It doesn't like to cooperate all the time! Lol. It just wants to be brushed back into a bun, but it doesn't understand that it's not long enough yet! Smh. Lol. But I definitely will post if it works out. Congrats on your NG! Laying sideways = lots of luscious growth! I can't wait to see our ending pics!

 

[NikkiQ]

^^^with you texture, I'd let it do whatever it wanted. I'd love your hair right now!

 

[davisbr88]

^^ I appreciate the compliment but I'm sure your hair is beautiful. AND long enough to wear a bun!!

Beautiful? Negative. Long enough to bun? barely!

 

[davisbr88]

Good Morning Ladies,

[Ms_CoCo37]

Here is a pic Im giving myself till by bday in May to hit BSL thats about 8 months yall think I can do it, Im going into hyh hardcore next month with my sew in's.

[Ms_CoCo37]

I just got finished smoking a chicken with apple chips and rotisserie seasoning for 3 hours. LICKING my fingers this IS DELICIOUS. OMG OMG

YUMM
YUMM

Oh and I broke one of my etsy combs will order another and some more when I get a few dollars

That chicken sounds sooooo good!

It's funny that you mentioned the combs because I was going to ask you for the link to the web page. I need some cute hair accessories.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

I am now in in yarn braids and I think I'm in LOVE. I get the look of locs without the commitment. and when I wake up as dawn, my hair is done, I just put some juice on em and go!

I think beside the juice challenge, this is one of the bandwagons I will not jump off of. It suits my lifestyle and I'm seeing results. When I took down my interlocks, my brother asked me if it was my hair or the fake one.... I think I've been unofficially weave checked for the first time.

for getting weave checked!

Did you install the yarn braids yourself?

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Pic of my new weave (there is a little grease on my leave out also I believe a track is showing?) Sorry for the huge pic uploading from my phone.

Lookin good! I can't see any tracks either.

Diva, you know I absolutely LOVE your buns...and they always look polished to me. I have the same problem with getting my hair to lay flat too. I've been manipulating my hair every morning when I co-wash and put it in a puff. I think my only saving grace is my Ouidad Double Detangler comb. I love that thing!

I remember those days quite well. My hair would be sooooo shiny and sleek that all I wanna do is run my fingers through it and let it swang! LOL!

 

[JJamiah]

MsCoCO I got them from Etsy.com from que I am wearing one today much thicker, love it. It is an actual comb with flowers on it. Love it love it love it. Sorry no pics

Picture clip in bangs with all hair tousled lightly into a twist flipped up then the comb stuck down towards the nape holding into place the hair lightly over the top.

it looks great.

Okay...where the devil did the thank you button go???!!! Anywho, THANK YOU JJAMIAH!!!

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Am I the only one who can't post pics or add pix to my album?

 

[lamaria211]

checkin in stll rocking my half wig juicing underneath!

 

[JJamiah]

Your welcome MScoco,

I can't thank anyone couldn't for a few days already, can't post pics, I wonder how everyone who does, does

 

[NikkiQ]

I think most people are just posting the link to their pics from their fotki or photobucket accounts. I can't add pics either

 

[davisbr88]

The results of my finger coils:


I didn't think I'd like them, but after I picked them apart, I ended up loving it. It reminds me of how my hair looked right after I chopped (even though it's nothing like this now... lol) I am exactly 13 months post-relaxer today!

 

[NikkiQ]

just what I suspected....CUTE!!!!! I love them davis!

ETA: took my braids out today ladies and all I can say is puffy and fluffy. wow! I didn't think 5 months post would be quite like this . easy to comb through and detangle,but boy oh boy is it tough to slick down.
