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

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 ;)
 
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.
 
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!
 
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)
 
^^^you know they're gonna come out nice so you better post those pictures young lady! :lachen:

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
 
@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!
 
Good Morning Ladies,

I hope all is well. Still doing the bun:) Last night I coWashed and put hair in big twists to dry overnight this morning I bunned before my morning run:)

That chicken sounds sooooo good!:lick:

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.

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...:drunk:. I think I've been unofficially weave checked for the first time.

:yay: for getting weave checked!:grin:

Did you install the yarn braids yourself?
 
:love:

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!:love:

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!
 
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 :D

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!!!
 
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 :look: :perplexed:
 
I think most people are just posting the link to their pics from their fotki or photobucket accounts. I can't add pics either :(
 
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! :grin:
