2011 Hide Your Hair Challenge! (Jan 1st - June 30th)

mommy again today... I think she is my favorite, so light and easy... add a little water, mess it up a little bit and I'm done :) I LOVE THE SIMPLICITY. My others should be here on Friday!!!! :yay:
 
I just do the braid outs and then undo them and pin my hair in a chignon with a few hairs hanging here and there. I had to lay off buns because the middle of my hair was breaking off so I am trying to rehabilitate it.
 
^^Woosah! :D
I have been very lazy with my hair. Doing the same thing as last year: big braids under a wig, washing and DC once a week, then back to braids n wig.
 
I held out as long as I could ladies...5 weeks isn't bad :) I just feel like my scalp needs a thorough cleansing! I am taking them down on Friday night!!! I am so excited...I get to see & feel my hair again! YAY!!!!! :yay:

5 Weeks is fantastic :yep: I applaud you :clapping:. I even wonder how you did it.... :scratchch I dare to believe I couldn't make 5 weeks, That would be like pushing the limits to my sanity, :lachen:.

But MissSunshine you did it :happydance: :pulpdance: :happydance:
How are you going to wear it when you take it out?

PeculiarDaye- Thank you so much!!! Let me tell you...it was ROUGH! I am just not cut out for braids LOL I want them in for convenience, but then after a week or two, I want them OUT :lol: I felt like I was really losing my mind these last 2.5 weeks! I wanted to scratch the skin off my scalp :pullhair::lachen::lachen: Tonight was one of those days I felt the insanity setting in...so it is a little earlier than I intended, but I took them out right after I wrote the last post :lol: I am so happy!!! My scalp is free and my curlies are back :yay: :yay: It just shouldn't be that hard or make me that miserable, so it was time to switch it up :) I'm going to do two strand twists today and then flat iron it next Friday like I planned! YAY!!!!! :bdance::happydance:

@LilMissSunshine5

The part in dark black was hilarious :lachen::lachen::lachen:
Protective styling can be a pain, so switching it up is best.

Your welcome, Believe me I understand. I wore my braids for 3 weeks and 4 days, after the first week I was like "Look at these frizzies" I was almost disgusted, ((..Laughing..)) and I wrapped everynight.

When you keep braids in, it makes you remember why as a child you wanted your mother to stop doing your hair, and went straight to ponytails when you started, ((..Laughing..)) I must say the beaty of braids is the length retain, and the fact that you get a break from waking up everyday and doing your hair.

Aww snaps, the CURLIES are back :yep: :woot: :pulpdance: :woot:
You took those braids out kind of fast, ((..Laughing..))
I know your ready for that good old DEEP condition, am I right?

I hope we get some PICTURES... gosh how I love those :lovedrool:

I am happy for you :grin::yep::grin:

Hope to Hide under this weave for about 10 weeks.
 
still hiding under my wig...

my hair is dying to be washed. this weekend makes my 2 weeks, plus i have been working out so its soo sweaty! i hope i can push 2 more days...

spa day saturday for my hair! i am thinking its due for a protein treatment.
 
I am so ready to get these cornrows out my head also...I has been 3 weeks and 3 days. You guys should see these thangs they are a mess. I am still unsure if I wanna relax when I get these out or wait til 16 wks....IDK.
One thing I do know is that I wanna clarify, wash, DC overnight.....protein or henna even sounds good at the moment.
 
^^^I totally agree! I am going to clarify, wash and DC for 3 hours today! Then on Sunday, I'm going to do it all over again, except I will DC overnight...time to give my hair some TLC :happydance:
 
mommy again today... dd was like "that's your favorite one huh?"

LilMissSunshine5 omg, I love Mariah... and I am not kidding. I haven't "worn" her out yet, but I tried her on a few days ago and I was soooooo excited. Remember I said I applied a little argan oil... and had her inside out on a wig head (For weeks now)??? She looks perfect now and fits my head like a glove... the colors even look great... can't wait til spring as she will be my spring-summer look, depending on how well she holds up... and she is futura so I can flat iron as needed to keep her sleek. Did you sell your Mariah or are you going to wear her?

p.s. I need to do my eyebrows :lol:
 
My hair is in a weave in the middle.... basically I got tracks added because the middle of my hair is just to thick and nappy. My bangs are clipped again, and I put a rinse ruby red in my hair and you can't see any red in my hair at all except for my scalp and its itching like crazy ugh (I'll try to rinse it again in 6 weeks).

My hair is free!!! My head feels so good, I am pumped! I love having my curlies back...they are growing longer, slowly but surely :yep: I will definitely be hiding my hair for at least 2 more cycles :lol: My goal is to try to last until 2 years post and BC...here are my latest pics of my freshly washed hair and my 2 strand twists! I am 8 months post today :yep:

^^ i am 8 1/2 months post. next week marks 9 for me. Our curls are similar....very lovely! good luck on the journey. I'm only going for 18months....maybe longer, depending on the length of my hair
 
So I took my weave out last week after having it in for 9 weeks. I wanted my hair to be free. I couldn't believe how much new growth I had. I'm thinking when I keep it simple it tends to grow more. Right now I think I'll do wigs for a month, but I can't keep my hands out of my head so I'm going to attempt to do a beehive myself. We'll see I always change my mind.
 
here is it is finally, my new "go-to-quick" style.

First, flat twisted in different directions, then unraveled the opposite way.

This is the back of it. I just pinned it up, random strands, just grabbed and bobby pinned upwards.

The front end (sorry I didn't crop the pics), pulled a few strands down, then twisted the bang part to connect to the back and middle. I was bored but it turned out reaaaaaalllly cuuuute IMO!:look:

^^^It is adorable!!! I LOVE IT! How did you do it?!?! Your roots seem so much straighter than mine. I am only using heat 4 times this year heaven help me :lachen: Did you blowdry first? You are talented! I would definitely make 2 years if I had styling talent! But I am not gifted like you :nono: I want to attempt 2 years so I can have some length! I need to find another protective style I can do that looks cute...since getting my hair cut Dec. 29th, twistouts aren't looking as cute. Maybe I need to learn how to do flat-twists instead? Any advice?! Anyhoo, congrats on transitioning! Can't wait to see our curls in a year! We gone be so fly you can't tell us NOTHING :lol:
