so,
i'm gonna flat iron my hair on like december 30th or 31st for the starting picture
mostly because i thought it'd be a fairer/more accurate comparison for the end of the challenge because i plan on flat ironing for that.
after that...it's back up in the protectives. i usually never leave my hair straight for more than a few days anyway. haha

Hi ladies,
I have joined as, as a lurker i have become really excited by all these style options such as wigs, ponies, buns, crotchet braids, esp. halfwigs I'm really excited by these and this is the reason why i want to join this challenge as i am beginning to experiment.
Currently my longest layers are bsl and shortest apl, like a 'u' shape, my hair is heat damaged from being a heat trained natural and I'm transitioning from textlaxed (textlaxed for 6 months) i want to protect my hair as much as possible, i know i should cut the damaged parts, which would ultimately mean bc which i'm not ready to do although some of it has broken off by itself. i am hoping this challenge along with participating in the 2011 transitioners thread will keep my hair on my head and be at least mbl by the end of the year.
Please bare with me ladies as my new years resolution is to seriously update my profile, add pics to my avatar & sig and finally become a fully participating member instead of all this lurking business.

Can you ladies tell me more about the UPA clip? I would love to try that out if it isn't expensive, as I chopped 5 inches off last month and now don't have enough hair for a bun LOL I plan on wigging it for the winter, but once spring/summer comes, I won't be able to deal with the heat of wigs! I will be trying to bun, braid, and twist out for PS...

Last week I did a full sew in.
I plan to use a leave in daily.
I will wash my weave once or twice a month.
I plan take out my weave in March 2011. I will give my hair a break for just week then put another sew in.

Check it MsCo, I've been using something similar to these lately as hair candy. I got my clips from the flea market while in Orlando but ppl love them so that I will be buying more when I get my stacks up.DC was my lifesaver when I thought I was about to lose my mind with the buns!
Welcome to the challenge!
The above pic is just an example, I don't have any like this in particular but just showing how fabulous these little things can be. Found a link to buy some...Rhinestone Hair Pins | Bridal Hair Pins | Wedding Hair Pins | Bobby Pins
Yall bunners don't buy them up from me, now ya here????!!!!!
Most of my hair candy have white CZs in them. I want to add some color to my collection like the ones pictured above.

did you also see the rhinestone hair pins post?
you need a super duper quadruple size flexi with all that thick hair. lol.
The medium only catches enough hair to make a tiny pony in the crown like this:
The large flexi's hold all my hair (I tuck in the stray hair with black hair pins) but based on how I have my hair wrapped up into a bun, even the large holds my hair a wee bit tighter than I like so that's why I'm moving up to an xl. I want a firm hold but not overly tight.
I know I'm about to get a royal thread beat down for posting all these gigantic photos. I beg for forgiveness.
You should join us!I've been reading this thread and all these talks about wigs had me wig window shopping and I plan on buying either one or two half-wigs. The kicker about this plan is that I'm weaved up and I don't need any wigs. Y'all ladies are making spend unnessary money

except I pin up the bottom half of my hair with black hair pins rather than letting it hang.
