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

[JJamiah]

I think we all need a break

 

[danigurl18]

I've gone back to buns for now..

 

[JJamiah]

danigurl18 I am in a bun right now I think I am going back to buns too for this break of LF/Wigs.
I can't wait until I get back into Wigs, this month out thing is harder than I expected LOL

I had some terrible build up with the Indigo and my hair felt wierd but I chaulked it up to a coating and had to get rid of it second wash.

I was right in that aspect. I DC'd over night actually for about 15 hours then I rinsed and DC'd with Alter Ego Garlic Conditioner for 3/4 hours and ladies it was amazing when I rinsed. I added PC for one minute rinsed and my hair was back to normal. I am so happy.

I have MY hair back, less the little I trimmed (X2) but I needed it anyway. I have a planned Cut in December.


I will Henna Again next time I am using the Lush since that has a closer expiration date.

I am 75% happy with my experience I think lack of experience and expectations was part of that % taken off.

I am expressing my opinions and how I felt about the experience, you get the good the bad and the ugly. Not just a pretty picture with me.

What does the bolded mean? I know it BETTER not mean a loss of more than an inch or two.

My somewhat messy curly updo...Steamed the other night with Suave Shea Butter conditioner, coconut and Grapeseed oil.

 

[divachyk]

As much as I tried to let my hair swang over this past weekend on freshly TUd hair, I just could not last. The hair annoyed me and was in the way. I attempted to let it hang at work today...I lasted for about 2 hours and up in a bun it went. I think I need to teach myself how to wear my hair down again. Is that crazy, or what?

 

[AlliCat]

This is how I wore my hair today Braid out pulled into a ponytail. Moisturized with Lacio Lacio.

Morning! Been puffing it since Saturday. Since the weather has been so warm, I've been able to co-wash every day without fear of getting sick...again. YAY!

Hey Ladies

I have been playing with updo, here is back view. I got a lot of great retention from it. I have been slacking on my daily moisture but going to step it up for the month of march.

That's really cute! Do you have any pix of the front? I need to step it up myself this month. I've had a couple of setbacks that I'm dealing with right now. I need to up my steam too.

hair in a ponytail today... didn't bun though... is that bad?


One 'n Only Argan Oil Restorative Mask

It was sitting at the checkout counter... I wish I had not saw it Oh well... can't wait to try it

I LOVE this stuff! It's one of my favorite staples.

 

[Anastaja11]

Ugh, I'm starting to get tired of "taking care" of my hair. I'm wearing dookie braids under my wig, so I look absolutely hideous at night time. I haven't decided whether I want another sew in or braids. I think I just need to take a break from my hair.

Hey Anastaja11 welcome to the frustrated with our hair club! LOL I have been wearing the same bun for about a week. On the weekends, I put 4-5 plaits in my head and slap on a wig. Man, HYH has been tough for me.

Received a sample from Sally's but I've yet to use it. Might give it a go.

 

[JJamiah]

Yay a frustrated hair club, Whew I was down I tell yah!

[NikkiQ]

And here I am coming in here for motivation after just chopping all my hair off. Guess I'll stick to my wigs. Might get some cornrows again.

Turn that frown into a smile

 

[acapnleo]

I am sick with allergies and feel so tired... so i thought wigging would be simple....
Today I wanted to yank my wig off while at work... I did take it off during my drive home...

I think I will bun the rest of the week, until I feel better....

By the way, I love the Argan Mask stuff...

Morning Ladies,

How's everyone doing?

I am here with my hair in a bun. I can't wait to wig it again.
KAY is my next wig I will rock her for 2 months

Funky Chic is my June wig and I can't wait to rocke my short rocker due YAY

July is Henna time but I know what to expect this time LOTS OF DC. 2 days worth.

Reveal in JUNE I hope everyone is just a step closer if not at their goals.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

I'm still here co-washing and puffing. It's time for me to henna again as well.

Nik! How do you like your new cut?

When do you plan on doing it, I do have to Henna with the Lush before July, I see May for that.

that way every 2 months, but I have to Henna/Indigo July with the whole 6 hour Henna Indigo and 20 hour DC.

Now with Lush Should I sleep over night with DC?

I might just do in anywho so I don't suffer any set backs

You can DC overnight if that's what you want. When you mix your Lush up try adding a little Amla oil to it. I find that when I do that the henna comes out easier and my hair is softer.

I still have my Lush, but now I want to try the Indigo. I think I'm going to buy some of that and use it with my other henna.

 

[NikkiQ]

Nik! How do you like your new cut?

So far, so good. It flopped down last night for the first time lol. I love it. I'm about NL now so hopefully by June I can claim full NL
