Okay - so I'm ready to wear Yasmine tomorrow. I'm walking around the house with her all combed out, curls nicely seperated but the longer I keep her on, the more the ringlet curls start to clump back together. How would you suggest I keep the curls nicely seperated so it doesn't look so wiggy?

Copying in my photo is not working so here goes the link:
Outre Quick Weave - Yasmine

I displayed Yasmine for my dh and asked, do you think I'm ready to display my HW at work and he's soooo sweet, he responds with, where is the wig. I was all hype and was like, on my head. lol. He was like, it looks so real. :grin:

I plan to wear the front of my hair straight, slick down to my head, silk scarf made into a headband to hide the start of the HW and let the rest hang.

Thoughts?

PPl have been wig checking me ALL DAY. So not cool. I don't think Yasmine looks overly wiggy, it's just that I NEVER wear my hair out so it's like culture shock to them. And some of the women just doing what they do, asking to many questions. My phrase for today have been - "girl bye!" meaning, you know this isn't my hair.

ETA: I am wearing her in a low side pony since the curls kept clumping together.
 
I haven't checked in in a while. I've been wearing my hair in buns and puffs but I'm getting ready to straighten again next week and wear buns lol
 
I been doing braid outs and pinning my hair up into a chignon to keep the ends hidden. My y ends are really moist. I use coconut oil on them EVERY night.
 
Still Bunning it, I plan on braiding my hair the day after Valentines day :)! My bun has a braided most of the time though, I like it.
 
JJ, where you at girl?
Should I take these braids out Monday which will be 3 weeksor gone and leave them in til week 4?
I dont have the itches or anything.....
 
Just checking in. I'm still wigging it with Gena from Freetress. I love this LF. The curls were starting to fall out, so I used my Conair hot rollers to put the curls back in. I'll definitely be getting this one again. There are a couple of more I'm looking at getting in the near future.

I decided to do 7 cornrows to the back instead of the two french braids I had been wearing under the wig. I thought it would keep me from having to redo the hair so much. It's staying moisturized, but the braids get pretty frizzy. I know it shouldn't matter, but it's a bit irritating to see, when I take off the wig. It's really only lasting a good three days before it's really frizzy. I want it to last a week. I'll just leave it for now, I guess.
 
Hey ladies, checking in. Still hiding. I'm ready to get a new wig now though. Been wearing this one for almost six weeks. I will continue to wear here till the end of February. By then I figure I got my moneys worth. On average a spend 100plus a month to get my hair down at the salon, paid 180 for the wig to wear for 2 months so I'm my head I think I justified the expense and can move on to a new one. Lol thinking of getting another straight one but much shorter this time. Also I'm thinking of going to weekly washing of the wig because I like it better when it's freshly washed and fluffly.

Can't wait till June.. Were we suppose to post our starting pic in here?
 
Sitting at the shop, just got my wig made. Imma make sure to take pics when I get home or before the weekend....

Hey MsB

You can leave them in another week if your not prone to dry hair and your scalp isn't itching. :)

I can't wait to see your progress MsB and AND AND I can't wait to get your review on the TANGLE TEEZER :woohoo:

:grin:
 
hi ladies... omg... so, I have changed my style a few times this week... I have almost cycled thru my whole collection this week :grin:

Anyway, today I had a few malfunctions with LAUREN! It all started when I got into the car... and is Lauren moving??? OMG, Lauren is inching back... slight and gradual.

So I am in the car driving and have to take my wig off to readjust:blush::lol:
One strap is not in the loop and the other is... ok, that's simple, I try to connect the clasp and its deformed :ohwell: so it comes out of the loop on its own.

I finally get it into the loop and all is well... or so it felt...

Somehow throughout the day, I feel her sliding again AND my hair is itching like you would not believe :spinning: So, inconspicuously, I tug and readjust...

Mid-day, I go to tug because I feel the lace steadily inching backwards towards my hairline and I'll be doggone... the right side of LAUREN (I guess it would be the side burn of the wig) ripped OFF!! :blush::blush::blush::look::perplexed

LOL, fortunately, I sit in a cube, so I just looked
in disbelief, then I tossed it in my garbage, but OMG :nono:

... I have to replace Lauren...
 
Checking in...still wearing the same wig since dec...smh, sad I know...I'm going to install some box braids hopefully next week, if I can make it to NY...I can't take it anymore. I need my braids back in my life.

Nope im good so far. I just been alternating with the CHI and the moisturizing braid spray....so id(think) its dry.:look:

Oh yea cant wait for that TT review myself either.
 
Tomorrow is my trip to the salon...

I am in need of a trim and I haven't decided if I'm getting a weave or not but I'll see. My bangs need a trim and so does my ends :ohwell:.

Today I washed and DC my hair. I also put a Jazzing Ruby Red rinse in the front of my hair and I wanna see how it looks in the day time :perplexed.

Lastly: I got a sample packet of Nexxus shampoo, conditioner, and leave in conditioner and I must say it smells great :lick: ... I think next time I stop at the store I'll buy some, by SO just kept saying whats that brand new smell in here :grin: lol.
 
I am excited about my hair again ladies!!! I am taking down my crochet braids in 2 weeks...YAY! :yay: I can be proud of lasting 6 weeks in braids, especially bc I don't like not being able to thoroughly wash my hair and touch my scalp and hair regularly! I am going to use my heat pass so I can check my 2 month progress! I hope that will inspire me and get me pumped about my hair again :) I hadn't planned on using a pass/heat until March, but February 26 is soon enough LOL Only 2 more weeks!!!! :yay:
 
I'm on week 6 of my braid extensions. Will be taking them out in two weeks and putting a fresh set in. :yep: I can't wait. This challenge is fun. I like the low manipulation and my hair feels great. Can't wait to see what it looks like in June
 
still wigging... wore danielle today... sprayed her with some mist i had sitting around and i like her even better today, apparently 2 other women at work did too... They wanted details on her! :)

I wanted to relax this weekend, but after my vicious scratch / wash session, it probably won't be wise... and maybe I can make it to March... fortunately, I documented around my last relaxer and the camera date was 11/20...

Tangle teaser works best on dry hair :yep: I found that out (for sure) yesterday.
 
acapnleo I am in love with the TT on my wet hair, I find that my BoneComb is so awesome for my dry hair. I know to each her own but THE TT is amazing all round!
 
WOW I wish I was a member when this started because I've been doing this since the 1st of the year. Started off with the "Drew" wig by Beshe....and now I'm in "The Mommy Wig!" I'll be sure to look out for the next go around! Can't wait to see yalls results. :yep:
 
Checking in, I've faithfully worn my half wig for 4 weeks now :yay::clap::yay::clap:

I will wash/con this weekend in preperation for my weave install on Monday. My hope is to keep it in for 8 weeks. I'll post pics as soon as I can.

My HYH goal for the remainder of this challenge is to wear weaves for 8 weeks then 2 weeks off (wigging or bunning) until I relax again in Sept 2011. I'm scheduled to be on my 2 weeks off at the end of this challenge (June 11)so hopefully I'll be able to post progress pic just before I start hiding again.

Go for it ladies, you'll are doing a great job. Thanks for the inspiration.
 
I think I found my next new units... :yay: and one is Kay...

@JJamiah, how is the back of Kay?? I have read reviews where some ladies complain the back is TOOO short... then I saw a youtube that made it look horrid from the back (too short and just lacked that tapered form)... it looked great in the front, but the back= :nono::look::nono:

Thanks :)
 
Hey ladies - plan to buy some hair shears this weekend (hopefully) so that I can trim up my lace front and wear that next week as I'm tired of fooling with hair, period! If I knew someone who could do a good a sew-in, I'd do that too.

The back is very short, tapered slightly but bluntly cut across the nape. I LOVE her a lot but that is my kinda style. :)

It got a lot of bad reviews :) I just figure by the time I get off my NO BUY there will be more for me I hope :pray:

U have to turn her on the mannequin head for a few days to get that cone off though. :yep:
