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

I just finished taking the twists out of my hair....Im so discouraged right now SMH :sad:

Maybe I'll feel better when I wash and DC.

I'm planning on doing a sew after about a week or two so Ill need a style until then. Would a pinned up bantu/braidout count?
 
Dang it has been too long since I updated. Anywho, I have been keeping my hair bunned up with a banana clip and chignon net(humongous looking buns) from sallys
 
JJamiah,
I'm sorry i didn't see your question when I posted last, I haven't been to a derm yet. I haven't been able to get off the oral prednisone since Dec 09 so I am unsure if I can have the shots on top of that. But I will check it out! Hope your sister is doing well!
 
still bunning... I considered relaxing this weekend, until i had to go and compromise my scalp! It was itching so bad... but I am sure that was exaggerated due to the fact that I MUST not scratch prior to relaxing :( So now, I can't do it this weekend... maybe next weekend, because the 2 textures are becoming more of a challenge.

I am still looking for a good butter to buy for my hair... tried Shea and it wasn't for me :(
Think I may try to find Cowboy Magic... that may allow me to stretch til June if its as good as the reviews I have read.
 
I need to wash my hair but I'm too tired to do it tonight. I might tomorrow...My hair is like this most days:

I had on my Yasmin today and it was an epic fail.

I don't know why but it seems to not fit around my whole head and I woke up late and was super sick so I really didn't have time to play with it.... I guess I'll have better luck next time with it, watch some more youtube videos on it ugh!!!

So... I decided that I am going to take these crochet braids out on Sunday (1 month of having them in), detangle, 'poo, deep condition, airdry, and cornrow my hair again. I will put the same ones back in.

Why?

Either I am crazy (:look:)or I didn't braid as tight as I thought, but my new growth is getting way out of control.

I have had to re-purchase 2 additional packs of the same crochet braid hair to fill in the "empty" areas so this style wouldn't look so old. From the looks of it, I'm going to need to purchase 2 more :nono: Good thing the company I buy them from is in Chattanooga because they ship them the same day I order and I receive them the next :woot:

I cornrowed my hair on the 17th, put the crochet braids in on the 18th, and took this pic on the 19th.

I'll know for sure when I take them out on Sunday. I measured my hair at 11-12 inches around this area before putting the braids in. I do not believe my hair has grown this fast, but the important thing is to re-do the whole style. It's kinda funky looking right about now :eek2: especially these edges. I am NOT going to show them. You would only cyber laugh at me.

GUess what Ladies.... DRUM ROLL

After 9 and a half months A sister GOT HER RELAXER :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

I also got a cut. So I am no longer past waist. I am MBL, which is fine with me. I have a nice cut and can't wait to post some pics. :)
 
Congrats on your relaxer and cut. Did you self-relax? I'm looking foward to seeing your pics.

No big news for me...still in this weave. I can't wait to remove this install and just rock wigs so my hair can breathe or at least exposed to some air. I'm even want to light flatiron my hair to see some progress but I'll wait.
 
I w/con last night - weeeewww my ng is kicking my butt. I'm scheduled for an install on Friday. I'm hoping that takes me up until end of May, then I'll get some medium singles with extensions for 4 weeks then viola!!!!! End of June will be here and i'll be ready to reveal.

The time is going by so fast, but I'm soooo eager to see my progress. My ultimate goal is to stretch until Dec but I'll play it week by week. I know the earliest I will be relaxing is September.
 
:)

Hello Ladies I am so happy to show my new cut :) Yay! So what do you ladies think??
