[Krystle~Hime]

I'm in! I probably hide in twists, as I have been most of this year.

Hello NappyNelle, can I ask you how do you plan to hide your beautiful twists :'( !!! with headwraps ?

 

[Bluetopia]

i'm in! sign me up

 

[BrandNew]

I haven't done a challenge in a long time, I'll do this one!

 

[KurlyNinja]

Day 4 of this same bun... and it still looks decent. Me and this bun are doing big things, ya heard?

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

KurlyNinja, how do you keep it looking so neat? I wish I didn't have to retouch my buns daily (it starts to fuzz after the first day). I need to learn the tricks of the trade.

 

[bebee10]

I'm in. I really need the motivation because I haven't been retaining any length at all seems like. I recently got a "trim" from this lady who used HUGH construction scissors on my hair.

 

[Nerdstruck]

Joining this challenge. I think the PS styles required in this challenge will help me out with my APL 2012 challenge as well. It helps that I'm installing a weave this december and plan to wear it for a month or 2. Also, I am so ignorant on cute protective styles for natural hair so this challenge is going to make me step my game up. Good luck!

U didn't ask me Ms_CoCo37 but... I use Ms. divachyk fine net mess over my bun and they stay for the week

You can try that

 

[JustGROWwithIt]

Count me in!
Question: are braidout/twistouts ok? Or will I have to use a free pass for those?

 

[divachyk]

Ms_CoCo37 I am back in for 2012.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

JJamiah, that's because you're my wig guru. Besides, you rarely wear your hair out ma'am.

I don't know why I didn't ask my professional bun guru, divachyk.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

divachyk, WOO HOO!!!!! My girl is back!

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

I just went through the thank you's in the first post and added 9 people to the challenge today. Including myself, there are 46 of us so far.

I'm going hardcore on this challenge! It's time to reach my goals.

Twists and braids are PS but you can't "hide" your hair if your hair is out. Anything with "out" in it seems off limits. You can do a twist out and put it in a bun, but you can't wear your hair loose.

 

[brg240]

I'm in at least until mid april

 

[divachyk]

@JJamiah, that's because you're my wig guru. Besides, you rarely wear your hair out ma'am.

I don't know why I didn't ask my professional bun guru, @divachyk.

Oh stop Ms. C, professional? Chile please (@Ms_CoCo37). Your girl is back. I missed you. It's about time we reunite. SINGS: reunited and it feels so good!!!!

 

[divachyk]

Where's NikkiQ -- are you still protective styling?

JJamiah - you are definitely a wig queen!

 

[Golden75]

So my start pic is my siggy. The pic flipped (something I need to figure out why it keeps happening) so it may not be the best. Let me know if I need a better start pic. I will try again.

I started my KT, I'm moving slow, but hope to be done by tomorrow.

I PS all day everyday divachyk lol

 

[Charla]

I'm so ready for this challenge to start. Hiding my hair until June and pushing my APL goal to June instead of May will go hand in hand. I really would love not to do another LC until June anyway.

How phenomenal it will be to see 6 months of growth and retention!

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Charla, at 1/2" per month, that would be AWESOME! That would make my goal of making WL and then on to HL more attainable.

I'm an ambitious thinker. Go hard or go home.

 

[Janet']

I will be cheering on the sidelines for you ladies--even though I wear my hair up in a wash and go pony 90% of the time

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

@Janet', you're an alumni, so whether you like or not you're apart of this challenge. You're right there with @JJamiah, and divachyk

 

[JJamiah]

I wonder where my hair will be December 2012

Because By April 2013 it will be cut back but the mind wonders

I hide my hair because I like to. It is fun, mom of 4 friendly, makes me feel great. I can work out and still be cute right after a shower!, I can go to sleep wake up and my hair on MOna (my wig stand) is still in pefect tact.

 

[NewHairWOWeave]

Hey Ladies!!! I decided that I will wait till January to get my weave installed. I figure that I willl get my touch-up then wait a week or 2 then Get the weave. I want to PS with taking the Nioxin Intensive Rechage Vitamins. So I can get maximum results.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

JJamiah, at your growth rate you're hair will probably be down to your knees.

Ms_CoCo37 Gee Thanks!!!! I might have to join now just based on GP!!!

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

NewHairWOWeave, that sounds like a good idea. That way you can post your true starting pic on Dec. 31st and have a really nice reveal come June.
