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

[Ms_CoCo37]

Well this is the last days of this challenge! As u'll know I BC in April and wore a weave right after. I took my weave out and wore my hair out one day to attend a graduation. I twisted it the night before and this is the outcome. Shrinkage is a beast but that's what I love most about being natural!!

ojemba, Gorgeous! I love your hair!

 

[Ms. Tiki]

I'm so glad we are a week away. I don't really have a strong desire to wear my hair out but I don't want to be limited b/c I'm in a challenge. This is my last go at formally HYH. I've made a lot of progress for sure

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

JJamiah, thanks J, you always know what to say and I truly appreciate you for it. I'm just taking it one day at a time.

You are truly a professional HYHer.

@Ms_CoCo37 thanks for running this challenge as long as you did.

I personally am not joining the next challenge even though I will be hiding for most. I plan to wear it straight for a week or two
we all know how my plans fail. I haven't wore it straight in a minute or out
Curlformers don't count LOL

HUH, HOpe all is well with you. In Maya's Words I so dearly hold on too "And this too shall pass" I promise it will.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

pre_medicalrulz, absolutely GORGEOUS progress! Congratulations!

Here's my reveal. I'll do another one on relaxed hair at the end of June with everyone else. I am 12 weeks post relaxer in this pic.
First pic is December. Second pic is a few days ago.
You can use the tip of my tattoo as a good measurement tool.

Anytime my friend.

I just came from the supermarket, one of the football mom's was there. She said "you always have a different hair style every time I see you, and they look so nice."
I turned to the Mr. and was like, I hear that a lot. I am starting to believe it.

At least they say it looks nice I just didn't realize how people notice. Duh, I know. But I don't really do it for people to notice. I just like to look presentable.

Ms_CoCo37
Thanks!

I'm in aggreement w/ some of the other ladies...my last HYH challenge. I want to wear my hair out more as well. At least a week or 2 after a fresh relaxer & PS until my next one. I enjoy these types of challenges tho because they work!

Can't wait to see progress pics ladies!

 

[ojemba]

Ms_CoCo37 thank you so much. I LOVE my natural hair, I'm sooo happy that I decided to BC and wear my hair natural. I've been having a challenge keeping in PS because I start missing my hair. I never felt that way when I was relaxed. I am going to challenge myself to continue hiding for another 6 months for sure. I grew my relaxed hair to close to MBL by doing that and I'm determined to get to BSL in 2 years. I know I can, I know I can!!!

Hope you decide to continue this challenge... SIGN ME UP!!

@ojemba, Gorgeous! I love your hair!

One week until reveal time, since I am in the no heat challenge, I really don't have anything to reveal. But at Year end I hope to do my first flat iron with the maxi glide I purchased in the exchange.

Had been redoing mini twist each week, but I am thinking of just cornrowing until reveal time

Oh, funny hide your hair story I haven't been able to do wigs or weaves, but I think that covering the hair increases growth, so I got the brilliant idea to start wearing scarfs. Just tied up kinda like a turban, and sometimes a few pieces in the back would fall out. I can hardly type this out, it is so funny to me. Anyway, I noticed I started getting a lot of play from Middle eastern, and East africans. They got really friendly, and I was happy about that. One day a Indian Muslim asked me how long I had been religious,

 

[KiWiStyle]

I joined this challenge but haven't checked-in in a long time. I have consistently hid my hair since January because I don't like my hair down anymore. I do plan to do a length check on June 30th, so I'll see you guys in a few days!!

My old screen name is Kiwi74, which is on the challengers list.

I'm probably going to be a week late with my reveal. I have no clue when I'm going to be able to flat iron.

I tell you with a tan and my hair pulled straight, I get the what kind of indian are you. and I get it a lot from indian men. One man called his friends because I denied it and then the friend asked the same question. I just felt like confessing east indian just because they made me feel like i was lying. LOL

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Hi Ladies! Sorry for coming on here so late in the day. I'm at a two day assembly this weekend. I'm going to through up a quick reveal thread so you ladies can start posting your pix. Can't wait to see your beautiful progress!

 

[JJamiah]

[Ms_CoCo37]

Okay, I just put the reveal thread up. Here is the link:

It's just a quick thread that I threw up, but I'll be back to add all of the bells and whistles to it when I have more time.

Thank you again for doing this challenge with me. It's been a good run.
