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

Ok I am soo excited... I tried Straw Set last week end, I think I had to much setting lotion so the curls where hard ( stiff). Will do it again one day lol. So here is the plan. I am bunning until mid August. Then I will braid my own hair no extension added. keep that for 3-5 weeks and then braid or twist for winter months ( keeping them in for 1.5 months at a time). That should take me to APL in december :). I am transitionning too so lately i have hard time seing my progress.
 
Drying time, all wash and treatments are done, under the dryer for an 90% dry and then off to my hand held :D
 
Well.. I just did some flat twist yesterday. It would be nice if I could force myself to wear them for as long as possible before taking them down or at least wear them a week before I take them down but I'm extremely tempted to take them down today. I'm going to continue to fight the urge.

I'm still not quite sure how I feel about wearing the flat twist out considering I don't have any "hang time" in the back.. I don't want to be mistaken for an ex-con:nono:

One of my favorite leave-ins is Cantu Shea Butter Leave In condish. I'm drawing a complete blank on some of the others I use. When my brain decides to cooperate I'll post the rest.

Thanks Ms Coco. I just bought some of that in Walgreens this weekend. I saw it and recognized the name, so I bought it. Now, I just have to find a good brush because I look like I have a helmet on my head!
 
Time to work on a new reggie while in the install. I sprayed the braids down last night with CFC Moisturizer and water. Lord did that feel good. But I need to decide how I'm gonna figure out this washing schedule. I'm used to cowashing every other day and DC weekly. Time for research :yep:

Well guess what I am getting it braided up today since my Cousin is going out of town. I need to secure my fate :look: :D

So Today will be washing my hair, deep conditioning my hair and then prep it for the braids. :D

I will be Fingerwaving her hair up into a nice 1920's style. She has a short cut and just wants the large waves put in.

I have to finish taking out my sons braids will be putting his hair in twist later this week. HUH what a hairy situation we have going on.

luv it!:lachen:
 
Count me in also! My best friend (not a member of the board) and I will be protective styling using braids, kinky twists, senagalese twists, wigs, weave, etc. I like to switch up my style and hopefully my fro will grow (and my BFF's relaxed hair!)

I'll be installing my kinky twists this weekend. I want to keep them in for 4 weeks. My best friend has in senegalese twists right now.

Are we supposed to put in starting pictures up yet?

I have done the Deed :D :D :D :D :D :D

She finished braiding mine and I finished Finger waving hers :D So two down and one to go!
 
I just bought herbal essences beautiful ends (i think it's the same as the US LTR split end mender) and i'm in :love: :love: :love:
I could not get my hands out of my hair this morning.

I wore a twistout pony puff today.
 
Okay...like WTH. I just got my install done on Saturday with some nice and snug braids. Today(Monday), I can move them around a little bit and my scalp is itchin like a ****. This is quite annoying!
 
Did my first self-installed weave last night. Took FOREVER! But I am hoping to get at least 3 weeks out of it :)
 
I loss alot of hair when I didn't detangle properly before washing after taking down crochet braids, so I don't think I'll try that style again :ohwell:. I might try wearing halfwigs though, seems like a lot of you ladies retain quite a bit using them.
 
I flat ironed my Delia, and went out :giggle: the guys were looking I am like what about the BOB does the guys like I am like Okay. :D
 
I'm in but won't have a starting pic cause already in braids. After I braids are out (end of August) I will do a Kinky Curly Weave.
