2011 Hide Your Hair Challenge Part 3 (July 1st - Dec. 31st)

[NikkiQ]

As of late, I have permed my hair and I am still wiggin' it.

Whoa....WHAT?! No more natural hair??! Evallusion

NikkiQ I know, I know, I caved yesterday. I had a setback and got super pissed. I am now back to NL but pretty close to SL. I can't stand the way I look with short natural hair. I think I'm one of those people that is going to need a long transition...I'm thinking at least 18-24 months. I dunno, but I am sooo enjoying the way the comb glides through my hair now, lol. I don't know when I want to start transitiong though. Did you transition or chop? I need an intervention, lol.

 

[NikkiQ]

I transitioned for 10 months. Only reason I chopped so early was b/c dealing with 2 textures while planning a wedding drove me insane. I chopped to EL/NL in February and now a little past SL. I still consider my hair short so I'm hiding until I get to APL. Then I'll be able to do more of the styles I want. You were doing well with hiding too. If you would've stuck with it,you would've grow out of that awkward stage in no time.

NikkiQ I was just discussing with ida2 that I want to hide until I'm APL. I think I'll be happy at this length. But what discouraged me, was a 2 inch patch at the crown of my head that seems to fare better when permed. While a permie, my hair was beautiful and long. So I guess reminiscing about that got the best of me. Anyhoo, I'm usually a chopper but I think I'm going to try and give this transitioning thing a shot. I may start off with stretching first to get the hang of the 2 textures. Time will tell...

Well whether you're natural or relaxed, I can't wait to see your progress in the future

Although I haven't been on the forum in a while, I have definitely still be hiding my hair!!!! I am going to get my hair colored later on this week so I will get it straigthened, but then I will faithfully go back to hiding it!!!

It's good to see that everyone seems to be doing well--December is fast approaching!

 

[divachyk]

Old HYH participant dropping by. I still hide my hair about 95% of the time. Wishing you all the best. Can wait until you all reveal later in the year.

 

[Burbujas]

I need to redo my braids, but I'm soo lazy lately. Hopefully I'll find the energy to redo them somewhere this week. Btw, FoxxyLocs, I LOVE your hair in your siggy !!!!

 

[Ruby True]

In a full weave hoping to go the distance. Wishing you all the best of luck.

8 more weeks to go in these cornrows

...and they're already sittin' off my scalp

I'm still moisturizing with Curl Junkie Smoothing Lotion and sealing with Jamaican Black Castor Oil though! I'm keeping my scalp clean too, so I'm not a total dirty birdie.

 

[bellebebe]

Here I go again, bumping this thread up.

So, I've had my twists in for almost 4 months now. and I haven't had a relaxer for about 5.... I'm finally taking out my twists tomorrow, but since I could now wait, I decided to take out a single piece of hair and boy am I shocked. Wow! It looks to me like my vitamins have been working.
I just hope the rest of my hair have also grown. After my relaxer on Sunday, I will be babying my hair a month and will be going back into hybernation mode (sew-in) for about a month.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

bellebebe, very nice! I have a feeling all of your hard work is going to pay off at the reveal. I can't wait to see it.

As for me, the tree braids were a bust. I kept them in for close to three weeks. I just couldn't take it any more. Looks like I'll be hiding behind two-strand twists until the reveal.

Girl, what hardwork?
My lil butt has been so lazy. I started out moisturizing, oiling my scalp almost everyday. I can honestly tell you, I haven't moisturized for almost a month.... I will say this though, my scalp has not itched ever since I stopped oiling.

Anyway, thanks, chica. I can't wait to see you results on reveal day.

 

[davisbr88]

Has anyone ever cowashed daily while in twists? It sounds like it wouldn't work out but I can't be the only person that's ever thought of this...

 

[jmac]

I'm in!!! I got my sew in...ready to go!

All I got from it was massive tangling and knotting when it came time to take them down. Why would you want to cowash so much? I suggest you moisturize and seal and call it a day

 

[Darenia]

I'm trying twist again now that I don't have anymore texlaxed ends. I also have a wig that should be here tomorrow. I'm gonna try and alternate between the two till the end of the year. We will see... I'm so indecisive sometimes.

ETA: Actually my twist are so small and thin I may be able to wear the wig over them some days.

 

[LilMissSunshine5]

I haven't been posting, but I have been hiding my hair with twists outs & braid outs...I'm currently in mini-twists for 3-4 weeks (it is the start of week 3). I'm so bored with my hair right now

 

[danigurl18]

I pressed my hair last week and now it's getting boring so I must find some new style to do before I wash it

 

[FoxxyLocs]

Thanks hun!

My box braids didn't last. Way too frizzy. I washed and DC'd yesterday and plan to do a light flat iron today. I'll probably be bunning after that.

[mzbrown]

Got box braids yesterday. My plan is to make them last until at least the middle of December.

I've been wearing my hair straight since Saturday, since I got the new color but very soon I'll be going back to my wash and go pony!

 

[Forever in Bloom]

Staying moisturized!

 

[beauti]
