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

[13StepsAhead]

ITA! I especially love being able to access my hair. Anywho I just purchased Yasmine by Outre and I love her, this will be my go to wig for August.

I am keeping my braids in for one month under my wig.

I have come to that realization that Human Hair is a little more high maintence. I do enjoy the variety it offers, but I love the Synthetic ability to snap back if you know what I mean.

I am so so so so excited to start! I know I'll need some style motivation, I'm a college girl that likes variety!

I have yasmine also and at first I really didn't care for her but the older she got, the better she became.

I will be using a "phony pony" as my means of hiding my hair. Only problem is my scalp itches something fierce in this style. erplexed

I hope that you all can see my pics clearly....I'll be trying new HYH styles in the coming weeks and will be sure to post a few of those as well!

Good Morning ladies,

I will be wearing wigs and buns for most of this challenge. I am currently wearing a half wig Tammy. Sorry about the quality, camera phone.


I have my hair in box 8 braids underneath. I am using Elasta glaze to smooth my edges with Ors Olive Oil Lotion underneath it (I'm out of qhemet alma & olive oil). I apply/massage castor oil to my edges, ends and nape as well.

WHO R U TELLING?
I have a garbage bag full of wigs, ponys, half wigs, lace fronts that are black, GIrl I had to stop!!!!!

I am trying to get into color I get the number 1 so I figured 1b was color the lat 5 I got were 1b/30 and 4/30 so I have graduated The one I got from the BSS IVY she is a F42529 and she is beautiful I like her. The rest are Black 1.

How does Gina look in Black is she too shiney or is she just right, realistic looking, sleek? Give me the down low.

At first she has a tad bit shiny, but not to the point of looking fake. I'd say after wearing her 2-3 times the shine was gone and she looked even better.

I'm wearing Tammy today also.

 

[JJamiah]

Tammy, Gina & Mina are some popular Chicas

 

[RegaLady]

Good Afternoon ladies,
I am in. I was in a sew in shortly after BC in June, took that out last week and now I am in braids. I got braids, July, 30th and I don't plan to take them out until Halloween.

 

[13StepsAhead]

I love her Waves You go Ms.Lady. I am also doing it for the Month as far as my wig is concerned. Delia is my August friend. Trying to find Out who will be my September to remember friend. Months end I will wash Delia out and store her until next summer

I'm already trying to figure out what I want to get for next month. I'm really feelin how I look with Yasmine, so I'll probably find something similar

Tammy, Gina & Mina are some popular Chicas

Gina and Mina are soooooooo cute and classic. I get them in 1b/30 because the blend is really beautiful. I eyed Mina for a couple of years and just gave in, so natural looking. Longer in the front than in the back...which isn't terrible, but wish the back was closer to APL than SL

Get them both they are the kind you reorder over and over again....i have my bag...drawer....cart of old wigs/lf/hw that just weren't keepers so believe me when I say gina and mina are yesness!

my keepers:

Mina, Gina, Meagan, Carmen

i can't see myself not buying them ever again...even when they are changed slightly by the company why they do that is beyond me...i still love them.

i really wanna try Tammy, HZ-7047, coconut girl, jackie, vicky, glee, and samara girl which aren't worth it? cause i can't be buying all of em...

 

[Sapphire_chic]

How long do synthetic wigs last, are we talking weeks or months? I hope I am making an investment lol

 

[AlwaysSearching]

Ok, this will be my first official challenge as a member of this site!! Thank you Ms Coco. I need to take before pics soon

See, so far my keepers are as follows:

ELise (a angled bob), <-- I love her (see Avatar) & Blair (maybe my September wig), I will continue to get these two, I am on my second Elise. I can't get away, She is me all over. The Mina looks like a grown out version of Elise so I love that effect. Blair is nice and funky bob with a Bang.

I definitely will be getting Mina and Gina, I can't wait to show you gals.

I have the 1b/30 in my baseket so I just want to know if the blend is realistic looking?

 

[JJamiah]

I can't really answer this question. I wear mine and wash them and wear them, you have to pry them out of my fingers literally. I messed up on Elise so that is why she ended up in the trash, otherwise she would have still been here, sometimes I trim the ends to keep them fresh.

good luck I know how hard it can be to find a new wig so keep us posted.

 

[NikkiQ]

JJ I think I'm gonna take this install out after a month and just rock weaves over the braids until October then get a new install done...straight hair this time
