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

This is the first day all week that I am wearing my own hair and not my wig... It was so weird doing my hair today lo... I just did a puff bun... has anyone else experienced this? lol
 
danigurl18 whenever I take my braids out in between installs and have to actually do something to my own hair, it feels SO weird!!!! I think I'm just addicted to having my hair hidden now lol
 
Got in my extension singles on Friday - hoping they will last me until Dec.

I'm still waiting for the next cycle of this challenge. LOL

Absolutely. Besides twists and buns, I've forgotten how I used to style my hair bc I've grown so used to wigs. Another thing-I can tell it has grown bc my old way of air drying (bantu knots) is too labor intensive. But that's a good thing. ;)

Hey Ladies! I'm hanging in there. Finally locking down a regimen and the breakage is tapering off:yep:. I'm excited about that. Also, my hair seems to be growing in the front, but because of the breakage in the crown it doesn't look like I'm retaining any length. I purchased the length check t-shirt and was going to take my first picture for September month-end. My hair was like WHAT?!!!...you are still NL.:nono: I rollerset and now I have a frizzy curly pouf. I look like I'm about 70 or like Peggy Bundy. So back to my wet ponytail. I don't have enough hair for a true bun but I'm going to try the flowers or find some really cute ponytail holders. I don't know what I'm going to be revealing...maybe not length, but at least healthy hair. :yay: Have a great day!

I was a little disappointed as well when I did my most recent length check. Hopefully, the next one will yield better results for both of us.:yep:

Sorry my friend (((hugs))). Hopefully your next length check will be where you desire. What's your hair goal? I don't have one, I'm just trying to grow, grow, grow as much as I can. My hair has really grown since hiding it. I'm due for a TU and debating should I trim. I haven't trimmed since July. I'm dealing with a little breakage now from protein overloading - how silly of me.

I need to find me a cute half wig and get out of my hair. I wanted to try these --

i like em all except Tuscany. Something about wavy hair with a straight bang that throws it off. I have a list of about 6 wigs I want to get next. I'm so addicted but hey doing these promos really helps supply money for my habit :giggle:

When do you ladies think I should start the new thread? November, or December?

Maybe December so when we post out final pics, we can use that as our starting pic too.
 
Good Afternoon Ladies, I just got in after a long day of shopping and not much to show. I was leaving out of a department store with $100 worth of clothing (a few items) and the lady was like sign your card. I am like here is my license and my card. she was like our policy. Well I have been using this card for 2 years already and I left every Item there. Went to forever 21 and got one alfit and have plans to go to another store to get another sweater dress to wear with my slouch boots :D :lick:
 
I have been wearing my hair into a southern tease bun. And I moisturize with S-Curl and seal with castor oil, and out my har back into southern tease bun. And my hair stays as moisturize as the first day well into the 8th day. Since i am 11 weeks post I sometimes throw in a hat over my bun and i am good to go. I am doing well with hiding my hair without any extensions. I hope i can keep it up until the end of the year

That's becoming a big deal. FL post offices WON'T even accept your card without signature. I use to have "see ID" on back but that's not flying now. But hey, no one checks for ID anyway so "see ID" was pointless anyway.

I think it is harder to get a Drivers license matching card then to get a matching signature. Crazy!
 
what brand of wigs would you ladies suggest for light colors? every wig that i've bought has ended up being way too dark for me. i know that synthetic hair is darker but the 4 is like a 2 on me lol.. any suggestions would help.. i might just have to stick to making my own lol
 
JJamiah and NikkiQ, what's a quick weave half wig? Do you have to glue those in? I don't want it sewed or glued...I just want a half wig I can plop on my head and be out the door!
 
To me, quick weaves are the same as a half wig when it comes to ordering off of a hair website. Like the ones you posted earlier that you liked. They say quick weaves, but you wear them like a half wig. they have combs in them so no sewing or glue required. I have Outre's Evony. The bag says quick weave, but she's worn like a halfie.
 
Morning Ladies!:grin:

@divachyk, I'm going to have to agree with NikkiQ on the wigs. I like all of them except for the one with the straight bangs. I'm not quite getting that one.

@JJamiah, where have you been my little shopaholic friend???!!!:grin: For the record, I probably would have left the whole purchase as well. I just write "see ID" on the back of my cards.

@NikkiQ, ITA, December sounds like the best time to get the new thread going.

As for me, another fun, and exciting french braid. yaaaaaaaaaay me.:look:

HEY, just running around, trying not to do too much shopping. :D
Doing Laundry right now, kids uniforms were gross, from practicing in the rain yesterday. :( :nono:
I will do laundry again on friday. Loads are not that bad but 3 loads is a must for us in this house :D
 
mscoco and NikkiQ, don't laugh but the one you dislike is the one that I already have....and I DON'T LIKE IT EITHER. I actually purchased it in person, believe it or not. I was being lazy and didn't try it on, never again.

mscoco, did you get the hair nets yet? I'm loving my new accessory. My buns looks so polished now. This little minor tweak has definitely added to my bun appeal. I bought more hair flowers and a few hairzing knock off combs (called ez combs). I still haven't mastered the hairzing thing just yet but in due time.

JJamiah, don't housework too much today. It's about time for the boys to start making their Christmas (if you celebrate Christmas...if not, my bad, no disrespect intended) list.

NikkiQ, what's the coolest gig (job/promotion) you've done lately? When you become a top model, don't forget your LHCF friends.

OT: I think my hair is still slightly imbalanced with moisture/protein but I'm working to up the moisture. I will DC tomorrow night. I was planning to use something already in the stash but I'm eyeing Kenra because it was suggested by Supergirl as being good when deep in your relaxer stretch. You girls have any DC suggestions? I'm making product wish lists now so that I can calm down with all the unnecessary impulse product buying. I trying to focus more on hair accessories now than products.
