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

Same style, just with and without the stick. Good Day's Hair Pins is holding both styles up. The stick in the second pick is just for decoration.



 
Been a while since I stopped through but I am holding up well in the challenge. My hair has grown and maintained since the stylist incident back in early march. Maybe her so called "trim" was necessary. Cant wait for the reveal.
 
@bestblackgirl, check out my blog; should be in the "more buns" section. I posted a link to a public fotki that influenced this style. Note: The fotki does not belong to me. I followed the same steps except I use the hair pins to get a firmer hold, less messy bun look. I then add the stick for decoration.

Today was wash day.

I co-washed and my hair is now in 4 braids, my cousin will be putting my hair in a mo-hawk tomorrow, be back with pictures later.
 
@divachyk

OKAY lady I am sick with ENVY now. All those BUNS, IF I COULD DO slamming buns like those. I'd be bunning too. I am definitely making a trip to your house when I come back to FL. Enough is enough. I need to learn to do those fancy updo's. GIRL you can do some darn BUns. I love them.

:cry2: I just wrap roll twist and call it a bun and go :giggle:

U Go Girl! (in my martin voice LOL)

Yikes am I telling my Age forreal LOL

I am on edge now Ms. Janet your email makes lots of sense. Hmmmm. I will see in 9 months.

@JJamiah - I understand. I've only been around a year and feel that some threads are toxic. Just pure annoying. But, I don't let those threads, those folk and their hatefulness steal my joy with that bull. I just ignore those threads/comments and KIM. There are so many others on here that make it worthwhile to stick around and ignore those other not-so-happy ppl. What I don't like is that those hateful ppl just keep recruiting more ppl on their team and the good folk like us are seeming to either a) side eye them and ignore them (like I do) so you never hear our side of things or b) we're simply just minority in number. We need to take a stand and overcome those e-fun suckers and let our voice be heard. :lol: :look:

Well this challenge comes to a close in June. I think from then On, I will as I stated do more Rollersets until I get that right.

I will give myself a Monthly Pass with my Blow Dryer
Not stretch beyond 6 months
Henna Monthly
DRC every other month as needed
Wig it the last 3 months of my relaxer
Trim every 6 months w/my relaxer
Rollerset at the Salon 2 times a Monthly until I master my Roller set
try, key word try to take my vitamins

I am going to take pictures before and after my relaxer.

I am still continuing to hide. Mommy will be the next wig I will be busting out of JAIL. LOL Alot of other wigs are guilty of lying around and will be sentenced to serve time.

Muah. Wishing all my sisters luck on their challenge. I hope you've found your Healthy hair way and if not, I hope you find it with little effort.

But @JJamiah, I think rollersets are a part of Hiding your Hair, right?

Janet' I believe so as long as it isn't showing your length :)

I bought my 2.5 inch rollers and those don't leave much curl LOL! So My length will be like Hay! Hey Hey Hay!

LOL
BUT..... After I rollerset I will be attempting to bun! LOL

I rarely wear my hair legitly out. When you here me say usually I wore my hair out. I meant I bunned it and it wasn't under a wig :look: people give me the side eye. Like I thought you wore your hair out. I did can't you see :)

It out from under a wig! or my headwraps, LOL :giggle:
 
I finally took my weave out yesterday. I couldn't take it anymore. It would have been installed for 9 weeks tommorrow. I washed and twisted my hair last night for a twist out so we'll see what it looks like when I take it down later. I plan to wear my hair my the next 2 weeks or so and then I will be installing another weave. I just need to decide what kind of hair I'll be using.
 
under the dryer for the next hour. ROLLERSETTING this bad boy was a horrible experience and I hope next time it will be better. DH came in to save the day and got pretty good towards the end. Hense I would have been there all day w/o him. I owe him some

@JJamiah and @Janet' - I thought all rollersets would not be considered a protective style simply because my understanding of hiding your hair was hiding your ends to protect them. Doesn't all roller sets pretty much leave your ends exposed. They maybe aren't hanging but they aren't tucked and protected either, right? Please help me ladies to have a better understanding of how that works.
 
Ms_coco37 says as long as your true length isn't showing

But, normally for me it wouldn't be considered a protective style because I have to manipulate it too much and it is all exposed.

I've always considered rollersets to be a low manipulation style but not protective :yep:

Exactly! It is a low-manipulation style...not a protective style...but the Hide Your Hair Challenge allows for low-manipulation styling and protective styling...A rollerset is like a wash and go... both are low-manipulation and hide the true length of your hair.
