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

Good Luck ladies on the July-Dec journey. I might lurk but I'm more than likely leaving the HYH behind. I will still hide my hair but I'm kinda over the checking in and posting styles. I will attempt to enjoy my hair more during the latter part of the year. Bunning has become such a part of me that I will have to teach myself how to wear my hair down again. It's like I've lost the know-how on showing my length.

OMG! divachyk I feel the same way. I shampoo, condition, DC, moisturize and seal, air dry, & then bun. THAT's IT! I may switch it up and wear a halfie but I haven't worn my hair out in so long (Dec '10), that I feel that after this 6 month stretch is over and I get my relaxer next month, I will be completely clueless and paranoid. :nono: I don't think I can hang for the 2nd leg of this challenge :ohwell:
 
Only one more month, YES!
My hair is still in the twisted updo in my sig.
I'll take it out at the end of the month.
 
@chasturner84 - I stayed in the challenge for a year total counting the HYH sentence served between last year and this year. :lol: I can officially say, it's a wrap! I need to teach myself how not to be paranoid and love my length. :rolleyes: I've gotten so consumed by ceratin techniques that I'm super paranoid to: trim, wear my hair out and flat iron. :nono: I truly am ready to return to some sense of normalcy and enjoy my hair. :yep:

I like the ease of styling that a bun brings M-F and will likely continue to PS during the work week but I will attempt to wear my hair out on Sat/Sun to enjoy it more. Start slow.

My new love is DCners. I am interested in exploring that avenue of healthcare. I stayed in HYH long enough to master bunning and protective styling. Prior to joining, I knew absolutely nothing about how to PS or bun. Now, it's automatic.
 
Today I'm wearing my hair in a slick low ponytail. I've decided I won't be purchasing any new halfwigs (ok maybe 1 or 2 MAX:rolleyes:). Gonna try to salvage what I have and bring them back to life :look:
 
Morning Ladies!

Nothing new to report. I'm bored with my hair these days. :yawn:

The thrill is officially gone. I'm thinking about getting it braided and calling it a day. Today it's in a french braid. Oh, and I did have to cut some of it off due to stress and neglect. Oh well,:ohwell: At least I know what to do to get it back.:grin:

Is Ms_CoCo37 going to be renewing the challenge again?

I won't be joining this time. I will continue as it is apart of me. I Second divachyk, I think my time has come to an end with this challenge :) I will still be nosey :grin:

I have wore my hair out last weekend on Saturday :D ooooohhhhh!

I won't Henna this month, I will wait until the End of June so I can make sure the Gray is tamed. My last Henna and Indigo put me straight so I am good until then.

I am just wearing my hair up in a satin wrap, wrapped around. Nothing special. I am going to stretch this wash for 10-14 days . Next wash I will use my Alter Ego to help with some of the breakage.
 
I'll be willing for another on LHCF but I'm very sure I'll being hiding until Dec regardless. My personal reveal month is December so I have all my friends, family and coworkers wondering - what's under that wig, weave?

Okay, then we'll keep it moving! I've suffered quite a few setbacks myself in the past couple of months, so this will give me the opportunity to gain back what I've lost. :-)
 
I'm not gonna participate in the next challenge even though I will still PS until my hair is at the length that I want. I'll still pop in to cheer everyone on though.
 
I took my braids out last week and decided to use my first pass to wear my hair out. I was transitioning and wanted to do a rollerset. Well, I ended up ending my transition and chopped all the relaxed ends off. I'm happy to report that I am all natural now, but will continue to do protective styling for the remainder of this year...
 
I haven't really posted in awhile but I am taking a break from weaving but still protective styling. My new love is lfs and flws which gives me the style of a weave but the ability to really take care of my hair (which I have been slacking off a lot). The flw I'm wearing right now, I purchased from a member on bhm. I don't use glue or tape but I adhere it down using the elastic band method (which I got from bhm and yt) and hair pins. Here is a pic (don't mind the shiny face please)

Can someone point me to some good yt vids on how to cut the lace on a LF wig?

ETA: Today I'm quadruple hiding. Got my hair pin curled to my head. Then I placed on a silk scarf, a wig and then an African looking beanie except it's not African colors.

Why so many layers? I wanted to just pin curl my hair, silk scarf it and wear the beanie but the beanie had no umph because my hair wasn't giving it volume. I didn't want to have my hair exposed and rubbing on the beanie, nor did I want to take the pin curls out. Thus, in the heat of the moment, as the dh was waiting for me to get dressed, I said screw it, Imma wig it and then beanie it. Got great volume and it looks good. This is my first beanie experience so I'm open for ideas of how you rock your beanie. I wish I was bold enough to rock this look at work.

On the weekend I'm taking my lil sister and her friends to a theme park...which means sun all day. going to protect my hair under a halfwig :yep:
 
AlliCat, that sounds like a plan.

I was just putting together my summer schedule for my Wiggies :)
I wear my hair covered most of the time with something. I truly don't like wearing my hair out but I do want my scalp to breath LOL.

So Maybe between the half wig, human hair wigs and phony pony's :)
I have some PP that have large caps, so I shouldn't run into an issue with caps slipping.

Have fun at the park :yep:
 
I'm down for another HYH challenge! I am going to BC in 3 weeks, so I'll be rocking WnG's & twists all summer anyhow...I have had these braids in for 6 weeks, so I am so ready to take them out and chop these relaxed ends off! So I'll take my last flat iron pic first week of June (it will be 5 months of growth instead of 6) :yep: I can't even wait another month to be 100% natural :lol:
 
I took my 2nd set of crochet braids down to detangle and wash my hair. Five more weeks of this crochet bizness and I will go back into another protective style - don't know yet.

I'm deep conditioning now, but plan to re-cornrow tonight.
