2012 HYH Challenge (Jan 1st - June 30th)

[winona]

I bought another phony pony today and it is too cute I also threw my old phony pony on to get a new do without too much fuss I got so many compliments. I will do it again tomorrow and take pics.

Today's style is a single french braid. Nothing impressive or fanciful. T_T

Ohh how I wish I could do one of those!!! I have took much hair!! And I don't think its long enough to look nice!!

Wearing a pinned up protective style... IDK what to call it but I filed some videos in it... When I upload them I'll add a link so you all can see!

 

[manter26]

@manter26, Did you see the video on YT by colouredbeautiful?? Here is the link in case u didn't see it. She did fluff it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LCpeS_ErjU&list=UUN0lAVH8IYYlQCyfeQubFwA&feature=player_detailpage
There really aren't a lot of kinky curly wigs out there.

Thanks, I did see hers. I think I fast forwarded through most of the video instead of watching her scrape through it...

What about Drew by Beshe, La Apple and La Jay by Vanessa? All kinky curly and super cute.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using SPH-D700

I'm looking for believable 4a spirals which is really hard to find. La Apple probably has the tightest curl pattern but I'm still torn. Motown Tress LGB-852 (if picked out) looks more like what I'm looking for but I can't find reviews on it.

New Born Free Demi Cap Plus Half Wig - 13018 Spring is cute for a type 3 wig so if I had to pick amongst those (la Jay, drew, etc...) I'd probably go with that.

Bun bun bun...That's what I've been doing. My blow dried straightness (what I managed to achieve) has slowly been reverting due to me spritzing my moisture spritz but that's ok. I've been trying to baggy the ends more. Aiming for at least 3 times a week.

 

[YoursTrulyRE]

I have been bunning all week. May do twist this weekend for next week.

 

[Anakinsmomma]

Messed up my curly wig, now she's a "drop it like its hot in the house" wig.

Straight one looks good. Wearing it tomorrow to work.

Spent two hours cornrowing my hair. They are so loose... I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but the are flat to my scalp.

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

ohhh shoot! I just cut the lace on my 1st lace front and it look sooo cute! lol!

NikkiQ and JJamiah, do you ladies still buy your wigs from hairsisters.com? I need to find a new wig for my picky mother.

 

[NikkiQ]

^^Yes ma'am I do. Hairsisters and Samsbeauty are my main wig sites. What kind is she looking for? I'll help you shop

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

@NikkiQ, she wants a APL length curly/wavy, honey blond/light brown number. Does that description make any sense?

 

[Anakinsmomma]

What wig are you wearing in your AVI? I love her...

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

I forgot to mention that it's a full wig, not half. She doesn't want any hair out.

Makes total sense. Does she want spiral curls or more loose water waves?

Thanks! That's a sew in that I had installed for a shoot. I wore the crap out of it for 2 months

Full wig? Gotcha. I'll start searching.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

NikkiQ, something similar to this:

 

[NikkiQ]

^^Bangs or no bangs? LF out of the question?

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

No bangs. I believe it's a lace front...but without that little netting that shows.

 

[NikkiQ]

Here are a few pics and links. I'll be posting more later.

NikkiQ, you are the absolute BEST! I'm going to show these to her and see what she says. Thank you so much!

 

[NikkiQ]

Glad to help

 

[Avaya]

Are we supposed to post daily/weekly updates? I'm wearing my hair the same way everyday from now until spring - it is in a combination of Celie braids and two strand twists all covered with a scarf and beanie. There really isn't much for me to say beyond that.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Avaya, you can check in whenever you feel like it. Whether you want to show off a new do, need PS ideas, or just want to vent or shoot the breeze.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

ProductJunkie, I really like this tutorial for french braiding. She's very thorough in explaining the process:

[brg240]

i am bunning this week. My hair is pulled back in two pigtails and each pig tail is separated in two braids and i've wound them around into a bun.

Next week will bring more bunning but i want to try a french braid. So one day i can do one of binosusume's awesome updos

 

[dede1129]

This is so cute! I definitely need to learn more updo's as I cant wear my hair down for work.

[Ms_CoCo37]

brg240, that's really pretty! Are you using ponytail holders for your pigtails?

 

[tiredbeauty]

I'm in this challenge but dont post often...cause I dont have anything to say (I do now, hence this post ). I've been wearing two strand flat twists religiously and zero heat since last July but I feel like my hair isnt growing ...after I cowash (or DC) and apply my leave-ins, I twist my hair up when it is still wet..is that a no-no?

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

@tiredbeauty, not necessarily. I like to do my twists on wet hair on occasion. As a matter of fact, my natural hairstylist always used to twist my hair wet, and I didn't have any problems or setbacks with that method. Are you keep your ends moisturized, sealed, and hidden?

Thank you Ms_CoCo37 - I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong, cause I really want to meet my hair goals this year.

Yep, I baggy every night and day (but that just started in Nov), so ends are hidden. I keep my hair in flat twists 3 and 4 days at a time (cowash on Wed and DC Fri into Sat) other than that my hair stays in twists. Before I started my Winter regimen, I wore twist outs daily and I do still get breakage, it isnt a whole lot though but I do shed quite a bit...but it could be because I dont touch my hair until wash day (now) and I have been drinking Spirulina and Chlorophyll (since Nov)...


Ok, but let me confess though...I'm concerned my hair isn't growing cause my hair is very manageable! I haven't texlaxed since July and I am not having a problem with my hair...at all! I was going to texlax again in Feb (my one year) but I think I may just go until the end of this challenge and I have thick hair (or so I've been told) and I believe its type 4...don't know whats going on, I've been expecting unbelievable battles with my NG, but alas, no.
