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

Drtondalia · Feb 23, 2011

Hi ladies!!
I'm back from my cruise and everyone loved my cruise hair!!
I rocked my La'omara for the first couple of days then switched to my Sensationell Lauren for the Captains dinner.
So glad I'm wigging it....didn't have to worry about doing my hair every day.

I missed you ladies...no internet access.

I havent checked in for a while. I have been bunning it because its easy and I am lazy

I am going to try a few different types of buns soon to spice things up.

I am in mini twists until March 26th. I plan on cornrowing my hair (I am not going to blow dry it to do so - wish me luck) and wearing crochet braids until June 25th. I have found in the past that washing my hair when it's in cornrows is better than washing it when it is twists - hence the crochet braids. The shed hair just slides out! I guess that's because I have maybe 10-15 rows of hair instead of 150-200 mini twists, which can cause more trouble.

Interesting JJamiah...I think I am the opposite. I think that is why I overestimated my average growth rate bc I was measuring in August & September...we shall see after this summer :yep:

Thanks Rossy, my major growth is during these colder months wierd but true. The warmer months bring me nada but sweat. LOL

I put my hair in a chignon on Tuesday and just took it down tonight. Now I'm going to oil my ends with coconut oil and braid it up. I have a lot of new growth!!

HIDING HIDING HIDING....still

Hey Ladies, still "wigging" it... Today, I had to wash my hair... all this wiggin' shole does make you lazy :lol:

and my scalp was itchin like crazy.

Anyway, so I washed with a little shampoo, then the knock off wen stuff (from sally's)... I then added some oil on top of that... waited a little until the tingly feeling (menthol like feeling on scalp), then I rinsed.... Then, I added more oil to my hair and put the aphogee 2 minute stuff on my hair... let that sit... when I rinsed it was a much easier task :yep:

-- conditioned with my jasmines conditioner rinse for a few moments (and I think I added some oil then too... can't quite remember; lemme tell you... my hair is so cooperative could use the shower comb, without fear!

From this experience... I shall now incorporate oils into my cowashing and such... Things just seem so much easier... :yep:

I am looking forward to my next session to make sure this is not too good to be true

Ladies I did remove my hair today at exactly 3 weeks. I needed it (stress) I washed my hair and I am currently doing my Henna, I think it makes my hair feel like bricks are on my head. LOL

I did my feet today, I bought some Avon foot works products and was in dire need of a stress proof day, I also gave myself a facial, so the Henna fit right in.

^^Gotta love a good pamper day

I actually wrap my head with a scarf when I go to the gym so I don't sweat up my wig or it doesn't accidently fall off. I suggest you find a cute scarg and just wrap it up.

I have a question for all the wig wearers that workout - how are you wearing your hair to the gym? I didnt wanna go to the gym looking like a prisoner with my very jacked up cornrows so i wear my wig. The only problem is that its super hot. I also just started the Insanity workout program with Shaun T. I know this has nothing to do with hair, but I'm looking for a workout partner.

Meritamen · Feb 24, 2011

I don't know if I posted in this thread already but I'm in.
I have been wearing my hair in cornrows and putting on a wig when I go out. Might get a weave later on. I hope to be SL by mid-summer so the reveal date is perfect for me.

Lanea87 · Feb 24, 2011

I might get my hair braided again this weekend until its time for me to relax.
Yes, I used my TT again today and I can def. say Im in LOVE!

JJamiah · Feb 24, 2011

Yay, Ms B.

Okay I have Henna'd and Indigo'd, I also Steamed Alter Ego in and now I am sitting with Silk Elements Megasilk in for about 2 hours

Honestly at first when I rinsed out the henna it was okay, then after I rinsed the Indigo out it felt like Brillo :-(

I put the ALter Ego on and bam it felt silky smooth; So now I am sitting with SE AND Waiting to give a review.

acapnleo · Feb 24, 2011

I bunned today... no wig for me today and it felt good.

I put my hair into a bun last night and slept on it uncovered.
My hair was so smooth from the wash session I had, I didn't need to do anything this morning except slather on some argan oil for shine, re-braid my bun / pin it, toothbrush to smooth down edges...
I love simplicity for my hair

June...!!! hurry up and get here :lol:

JJamiah · Feb 24, 2011

My hair color is amazing, It wasn't shiney I had to add things to get a sheen. I used Wen Texture balm braided in three braids and put a cap on.

My hair definitely feels good, no big thickness everyone talks about, maybe in a few days.

Overall I am happy Grays went bye bye without any burning, I will try Lush next go round.

I had major coloring to do so I took the long route. Next time the short one.

Good night ladies.

Your hair looks nice I think it came out quite well. on a different not i was RIGHT!!! you will be HL come end of june. We have 4 months to go the least you can get is 2 inches but i think your hair grows more than the average 0.5.

how many weeks post relaxer are you @?

NikkiQ · Feb 25, 2011

JJamiah and her drool worthy hair is kicking my butt back into gear caring about my hair. With that said...I think today is the day. Today is the day I'm going to chop. Last night it really hit me. Just by me touching my ponytail, I had breakage. It almost brought me to tears to see me able to pull that much hair off with no effort whatsoever

It's time for the relaxed ends to go and for my HHJ to REALLY begin. I'm ready :yep:
