I seriously need an intervention!!! I went to the hairstore in my childhood hometown (I am home for the holidays), and it was so gigantic! :grin: The deals were just too great to pass up...now I have 2 additional wigs, several cute hats, 12 new decorative scarves and some various new hair products :perplexed I spent $119 :look: This challenge is bad for my pocketbook :lachen: :lachen: :lachen: I comforted myself by reminding myself that I used to spend $75 for a relaxer every two months, so I'm "spending" that money :perplexed But I have officially declared a moratorium on hair spending :lol: I think the 7 wigs and variety of hair accessories will get me through the year :look: :grin:

Well ok, I've just had a 'senior moment' and can't remember if I've posted my PS of choice. :ohwell:

And I'm just too dang lazy to go back thru this whole thread. So here goes,

I am currently in extension braids and plan to wear twists for my two week 'rest' in between installs. However, I may throw in a wig or two in the future. We shall see ...

BTW, is there any way to keep up with what you've posted and when??
 
ON the main page where you see how many people posted click on that number and look for your name or whom so every you choose and all their post will come up ;)

Click on the "Statistics" tab that's on the left side of your profile page. Then under the first section entitled "Total Posts" click on "Find all Posts By..." you'll find all your posts in chronological order.:yep:
 
I am still hiding my hair length using wigs. I haven't had extension braids for a long minute. Enjoying my wigs for a while and I do wash and goes with my texlaxed hair. No one really knows the true length when I wear it like this because it's shrinks all the way up my neck as in the pics in my fotki album.
 
I tried on Ashley from SoulTress. I really like her but I am trying to find an online vendor that isnt going to charge $45 for my first wig.
 
I'm dropping out of this challenge, but I might be joining ya'll for session 2 depending on how the next 6 months. Good luck to you ladies :yep:.

Where online are you all purchasing your pieces from? I went to my local bss and was surprised that the $24 online wig is $70 in there. Feel free to PM me if you want to keep it on the hush hush. :yep:

I've ordered from Hairwigharlem, ebonyline, sambeauty and super beauty depot and have been very pleased. Super fast shipping and good customer service:yep:.
 
I would like to join!!! :) I'm a newbie to wigs, but it will be my protective style... purchased 2 new wigs and plan to get more... I plan to "wig" it.

I never thought I would say that :giggle:
 
i would def like to join... this is a perfect challenge... im pregnant and my hair was just put in braids... and after that i plan on putting a full head weave.. just in time for june
 
Washed my hair yesterday with Hair One Argan Oil I so love it. LOL I also steamed with Aphogee 2 minute. Then Deep conditioned under a self heating cap for 3 hours. I then rinsed well applied some leave ins. got under my hooded dryer and dried for 7 minutes; then used my hand held and dried the rest. It is now up in a bun :)

Most likely will do the same wash next time but will go up in braids :)

^^^ Do you normally do this routine? I am trying to get a solidified reggie soon! :lol:

Actually I do 85% of the time. If I don't leave the SE AND AE on for 3 hours. I steam it in and cap it for 1 hour rinse and put Aphogee 2 minute in for 10 minutes rinse and add my leave ins :) then Argan Oil and under the Dryer.

Honestly it has kept my hair like butter and I am also 6 months post relaxer :)

And you know this MAAAAAAN!:grin:

The first thing I want to do is take up all of the hair vitamins I have so I can be rid of them. I'm also going to use up the last of my MT and then it's on to eating healthier, drinking more water, and of course protective styles...and okay, I might through a little exercise in the mix as well.

I've got to make it to WL this year! Gots to!
 
^^^ Well then it is official BSL to WL ya dig. LOLOLOLOL I love it!

I am excited. I am sad some didn't have a good BKT experience. I will be redoing that March most likely. I am majorly going to PS my butt off though. I think and adjustment to that schedule is March and October will be my Wigging it free months so I can just baby it up. I am still going for the 3 weeks on and 9-10 day off routine monthly otherwise. I get a little lazy and comfortable with doing nada to my hair during those 3 weeks but I gotta do what I gotta do to keep my lions mane in top condition. LOL I look at my pics and I look like a Lioness LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL :lachen: :lachen:

I am planning to take my hair growth seriously this year. i have been natural for about 2.5yrs and have SL hair even though I did not really take care of my hair much since I went natural. I think I have 4b hair?? (I have not got the hang of hair typing yet lol). I will post starting Pictures 2moro. I plan to start wigging it from the 2nd wk of Jan wen all my lace support tapes and adhesives will arrive.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2 EVERY1!!!!!!!! :)))

Hiya, and thank you for the welcome!! Yes I got my hair braided on Wednesday in a curly style. I'm loving it! I'm starting at 1.5-2inches of hair from having it shaved for the past 3 years so having braids in after just 3 months of growth is a big deal for me:grin:.

Braiding will be my choice of protective styles for me
 
Morning Ladies :) So I bought these goody hair combs:



Anyone know how to create updos with these? I'm SL
 
:welcome2: :newbie: I am still a newbie myself LOL But this forum is so much fun and this thread is entertaining AND informative :lol: Just make sure you don't get sucked into the wig buying frenzy...it's contagious :lachen: :lachen:

ETA: This is directed at Kachi and any other newcomer to the LHCF
