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

[aishasoleil]

Definitely count me in!!! Starting length is APL...Aiming for Full APL by May 14th for my Nursing Graduation!!! Currently in Kinky twists. Will post pics later
**Starting pic is my Avatar, July 2010

May 14th is my b-day! I hope you get to your goal!!

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

:Blush2:

I'm going to proceed with caution with this challenge.... if someone can help me leave my hair alone!!!

I've been manipulating my hair for years, ever since going natural. And I believe this has caused my hair to stay at the length it currently is...APL. My goal is to be fully BSL.

I have the same problem. I think that's why it's taking me so long to make my goal. We can stay on each other's case.

 

[aishasoleil]

I know I haven't done a check-in yet, but count me amongst the bunners! The wigs are too freaking cute, but I know that my co-workers would be quick to call me out! LOL. I just did my first bun today, actually, and I'm pretty excited! Okay, it's a doughnut bun that's supposed to be a side bun but I don't think I went far enough to the side. Oh well. I don't want to redo it!

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Hi Ladies! I'm joining this challenge as I have finally found the perfect half wig for me. I searched far and wide, researched YouTube for the ones women with my type of hair like the most and came up with three: Creta Girl, Evony and Vanessa. I could not find not one of them in my local BSS and I went to several.
Yesterday I went to one close to my job and just picked a half wig out that I liked and it worked out. And it looks so natural. I'm happy and looking forward to Hiding my Hair till June!!

This is very cute on you!

Thanks so much Divachyc



I hope everyone is doing well today

 

[ojemba]

Thank you




Did anyone else get snow?

I live in the Virgin Island so I can't relate. Be safe all you do have snow. I'll send some sunny pixie dust your way.

 

[Stormy]

I am so excited to be a part of this challenge! I joined secretly by hitting the Thank You Button as also directed. I'm doing cornrows under a cute wig and bunning it. I wish I had a pic, but the ones I keep taking I don't like so I guess I'll get it right sooner or later and when June gets here I'll just post a before and after.

 

[JJamiah]

Welcome Stormy

I am so glad that you joined your first challenge with us Yay!

Make sure to take the picture so you can see how much growth you got in the end


I greased my Scalp with my Nu-Gro Professional Grease; two more weeks to go until the first Break down of the year. I can't wait until JUNE!

 

[KurlyNinja]

I just bought my first full wig!!!! I can't wait until I get it! I dont know how I'll feel about full wigs, but at least it has bangs. But a few months ago I refused to even wear sew-ins. I blame all you wiggies for breaking me down. and I secretly thank you At this rate, I'll be wearing lace fronts before winter is over.

This is the wig I just bought, Brooke by Vanessa. I'll be back with pics once it comes.

Very nice Miryoku
I can't wait to see when you get it how it looks on you

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

I agree MsCoCo! I was thinking of doing the same thing bc I can't cornrow yet LOL My friend does beautiful cornrows, I may try to get her to do it this weekend

Girl, I can cornrow...I'm just too lazy to do it.

 

[Jewell]

Hi yall! I was in the 2010 chall, so since I'm an avid PS'er, I would like to join this one as well! I'm trying to get as much length (and retain it) as I can! I'll be doing full wigs, half wigs, and LFs during this time. When it gets to about mid-April, I will do buns or wear my hair tucked with a clip in the back (too hot to comfortably wear wigs here).

I may also do cornrows with added synthetic hair in the warmer months...there is a very large population of Africans here, and a braid shop is not hard to find in this city! I'm very excited, as I just BC'd. I will put a starting pic up this weekend...I'm too tired to mess with this head anymore this week after a long wash the other day and then about an hour or more of chopping yesterday! HHG everyone!

P.S. I will also be posting pics of my wigs (about 10 of them so far) in my Fotki this wknd if I get a chance to do them all. I have 2 or 3 more pics already taken and ready to upload even if I don't get to the others.

Hey ladies,

I have a question, since all the wig wearers seem to be hiding in this thread. I recently purchased (as in Saturday) a 100% human hair remi wig. but i am starting to feel like the hair is getting a little on the oily side, and i dont like. its like how my own hair does after been straightened for a week. what should i do? is it normal to have to wash a wig within the first week of getting it? i dont think i can go many more days this an oily week. could be because i am always touching it?
and if i should wash it how do i go about it doing it? i paid a pretty penny for this wig so i need it to last me atleast 2-3 months.

ps-this is my first wig lol.. i broke my wig virginity lol

 

[acapnleo]

Another failed braidout! ARGGGGGH Oh well, ended up in a messy updo with a hair clamp... which was cute, I guess. With all this struggle, this early in... Maybe I will revisit wigs, without the lace...

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

I really like this one!

You can use fantasia Wig Shampoo which I love for my wigs
I don't get the oily feel as well but it could be from touching the wigs with your hand, or it could be environmental.

I get this about 3 weeks straight of wearing my hair.


How to wash your LF/Wig/Unit's

Put tepid water in a small bucket about a gallon
Put 3 oz of Wig Shampoo into the bucket
Brush your unit free of tangles
immerse your unit into the water and swish it around for 3 minutes
lift and swish again for 1 minute
remove and empty bucket
put another gallon of tepid water into bucket for rinsing
swish hair around for 1 minute
lift and hang on shower head/bath faucet/window handle to dry hanging

DO NOT COMB/BRUSH/HAND COMB/BOTHER HAIR, LET IT DRY THROUGHLY

If you feel after the first time you'd like to add watered down light conditioner feel free to do so but rinse well or it will feel like build up.

enjoy!

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Are you creative?

Well...I don't mean to toot my own horn but...

Nah...my creativity comes in spurts.

I think we should just take one of DC's luscious buns and transpose it into an illustration and have them printed on the tees.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

I have a bazillion replies below!

IDK why you hiding all that beautiful hair anyway, gone give us a big bun to drool over......atleast one pic.

Ms. B, JJ needs to give up the goods and make us drool.

Thank you divachyk Im rocking my first pre-juicy bun better watch out... I m gonna give you some tough competition n future . Its not so smooth and perfect coz I only comb my hair on wash days only but Im loving it.

I had to post a pic. we all love pics HUH!

*in a high pitched voice* Oh yeah you rocked that! *head knod, hands on hips, zoro snap*

Your buns are oh so juicy. But i'll be wigging then braiding when I get to 10 weeks post. This worked for me during my last HYH Challenge. I may try bunning (if i'm promised to have juicy buns like yours) next challenge.

Good luck and happy healthy hair growing.

Thank you and come on and bun. I'm like a military recruiter; I'm recruiting everyone on Team B. -- Team W. is but Team B. is j/k

Can't wait to see pix of your install!

I wanna see!!!!

I just gave mscoco some :swordfigh:swordfigh:swordfigh :mob: :mob: :mob: :mob: :mob: :mob: :mob: :mob: :mob: :mob: :killlurk: :killlurk: :killlurk: :killlurk:

You bunners look out, I got my :eye: on you and I am a Wig wearer till the end!

We will see in June Muhahahahahahahaha

hugs and kisses!

Awww! My lil germy friend is still feeling under the weather. Maybe if you kept still and stop trying to run around out in that cold air you might feel better. And you know darn well you're supposed to stay away from milk when you're sick Missy!

I still got "that package" - my way of saying a cold. I'm no longer stuffy or sniffing but I have this lingering cough that will JUST NOT go away. Any home remedies for a nagging cough?

No snow in Houston just like 38 degree

29 in FL. burrrr. No snow.

I shed enough hair to turn into a coat, haha.

this had my rolling. I sometimes shed a lot too. Try garlic for shedding -- it works! I used jbco for my edges and that has helped tremendously. I read Boundless Tresses is a great growth aide. I have some, just haven't used it yet.

Now who does those other shirts? The natural ones?

Team B. has creativity!! *flavor flav voice* yeah boyeeee

I know I haven't done a check-in yet, but count me amongst the bunners! The wigs are too freaking cute, but I know that my co-workers would be quick to call me out! LOL. I just did my first bun today, actually, and I'm pretty excited! Okay, it's a doughnut bun that's supposed to be a side bun but I don't think I went far enough to the side. Oh well.

Juicy juicy bun. Welcome to the Team B.
JJ, you need to up your recruitment status. Team B. is pulling ahead.

At least you make a good out of a not so good.

Well...I don't mean to toot my own horn but...

Nah...my creativity comes in spurts.

I think we should just take one of DC's luscious buns and transpose it into an illustration and have them printed on the tees.

You guys are funny. You're really making me feel super duper special.

Random rambling: My dh is over here shaking his head at us. He has agreed to snap photos of me as I do my bun this weekend. I will post up the step by step pics for those who has asked. Now watch, now that I'm trying to show off, I won't get it right for nothing. Because it never fails, you know things never go right when you want it to be perfect. I won't do a yt vid because I teach on the collegiate level and just don't want my face floating on yt like that. Hope a pictoral will work for everyone.
