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

Checking in....took out braids last week and used a pass to do a length check. Going back into protective styles at the end of this week.
 
Nicole and I are still checking in. I'm still wearing her, but I think it may be time to switch it up and give her a little break for a while.
 
just saying hello! been MIA this weekend. been a rough one with fighting with my hair! i hide under a wig on saturday. yep yep. back to bunning.
 
Morning Ladies :) Checking in and still Hiding up :) Braids are still in. Wearing my Lili Lace front and enjoying her dearly. I won't change her until next braid up possibly maybe back to Vanessa :) but I need to give my hair a two week break in between.
 
Morning Ladies! Today I'm sporting two sad looking little buns. I look like a broke down Ghetto Princess Leia.:lol::lol::lol::lachen:

And I simply don't care.:look:
 
hey!!!

i have a quick questions and any feedback will be fine with me. i'm swimming twice a week now and i have individual braids in my hair. they have been up since Sept. 11 and a touch up on the front and back Oct. 2. I was wondering if i should take them down and get them down completely over again because i only wash them once weekends and grease them. do i need to take them down do a good condition and shampoo and then get more put in or continue with these braids just keep washing and greasing once a week????

thanks ladies!!!
 
Ms Tatiana, I think it would be best for you to clarify your hair then DC. I think you can do so while still in the braids since it is your own hair. Clarifying will help take out the chlorine. HTH.
 
So I decided to give the wigs a break and I am now.........bunning! Yay! Trying to see how much I can retain this way. Happy Hiding!!!!
 
@ afrochique thanks

but i have braids braids with fake hair so will i still be able to clarify with them in also?? and which products do you suggest i use i dont wanna have a set back in my growing plans.
 
^^Oh! I thought it was your own hair braided.
I think that you can still wash the individuals. Preferably dilute some clarifying shampoo in an applicator bottle and apply to hair and then rinse off, then apply moisturizing shampoo and rinse off and proceed with your usual DC regimen.
I use Suave Clarifying or Nexxus Aloe Rid. I have mostly been using the Suave which is about $2 for 22.5 oz and it doesn't leave my hair feeling stripped.
I use Organix Coconut Shampoo (white bottle) as a moisturizing shampoo or Creme of Nature moisturizing and detangling (orangish bottle). They don't sell the green anymore. HTH

NikkiQ- Scary...but in a good way, lol...

How's everyone doing? I'm still hiding my hair, excited about the new year!!!
 
^^^thanks...I think :lol:

Wasn't my idea to shoot there, but my friend wanted a typical Halloween type setting.
 
Just took my hair down and I am impressed with how much better the ends look from this low manipulation thing.. I just ordered a couple of more wigs so hopefully the colors come out right.. if not JJamiah i'll be in contact with you :)
 
Lol anything lighter than 4 for me and it looks weird on me which is odd b/c my natural color is much lighter than a 4. I just tend to dye my hair the darkest brown possible lol
