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

[NikkiQ]

I really need to learn how to wet bun my hair. My hair is pretty much CBL and I still don't know how to do it

 

[ProductJunkie]

I think I will take a lesson from you girls and start bunting more often! I also thing I'm going to twist a lot...!

I'm going on vacation for spring break and I'm trying to figure out how I want to hide my hair during this time... I'm thinking mostly buns... I'm most likely going to use one of my passes during this time as well.... Hmmm!

Nasdaq_Diva: where the heck have you been?!!!! Glad to see you!!!

 

[jerseygurl]

I think I'll join this go around since my hair is mostly hidden anyway. I didn't join the second one this year cos I was just lazy about it. I will be doing mostly twists (with and without extensions), crochet braids and buns as soon as I can make my hair cooperate.

I will post pics in 2 weeks when I wash and straighten my hair.

So today I went out and bought the Vanessa La Apple wig to get me through this challenge. I'll be between this wig and my kinky twists extensions.

 

[NikkiQ]

Saw a SUPER cute indian remi two tone wig today that I am just dying to get...but not for $260 so I found the synthetic version of it for MUCH cheaper. Told you I'm cheap

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Chelz, you're back! Glad you're joining us!

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

NikkiQ, I'm glad you found a good substitute. You should post a pic.

 

[Aggie]

[hair4romheaven]

I am so in this challenge. After my set back I planned on hiding my hair until June under wigs.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

NikkiQ, me likey! That's going to look really good on you. Especially with those gorgeous cheekbones.

OT: That mannequin head looks like a real person. I did a double-take.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

[indarican]

im so down for this!!! my SO is not going to be happy but he dealt with me in a years worth of weave im sure he can deal with my in a half years worth of half wigs/ phony ponys.
By my birthday i guarantee i will be the longest length i have ever been in my life!!! lets get this started!!!
Ill post my starting pic on dec 31!

 

[indarican]

is a shrunken puff allowed? its not stretched so that hides length no?

 

[Janet']

Hi Ladies!!!

 

[Aggie]

^^^Hi Janet'.

I hendigo'ed my hair yesterday and slept with an overnight DC last night. I will be getting my hair weaved tomorrow as my HYH style for about 6-8 weeks. I'll take about 2 weeks break to properly treat it and have it weaved up again for another 6 weeks I think.

 

[ojemba]

I'm in!!! I'm trying to stretch for a year and then decide if I'm going to transition.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

indarican and Lakieeshaa, your names have been added to the list.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

is a shrunken puff allowed? its not stretched so that hides length no?

indarican, yes, a puff is acceptable. You can also sport WnG's, twist outs and braid outs. As long as you're not showing your true length. But for optimum growth, it's best to keep your ends hidden/concealed.

 

[JJamiah]

I am still hiding and still feeling like crap HUH, I have to wash my hair this weekend and I hope I feel a little better or all plans for me going crafting are canceled again

 

[Golden75]

Just checking in. Enjoying not worrying about my hair in these kinky twists. I usually oil my scalp at night, and then just spritz after oiling or in the a.m.

 

[JJamiah]

Okay so Since my exercise week is off my Bday week in January, I am going to definitely use my curl formers that weekend as well

I want to get a nice curly doo and go out on a nice Date

 

[indarican]

day one of my phony pony... i feel a bit strange but oh well ill get over it. my ends are baggied underneath. I keep reaching up to check that the puff is still there.
Question for the vets, do you guys take the combs out the phony pony? i know to take them out of the half wigs and such but i thought that was just because of the edges. Do you think the combs in the phony will damage my hair at the middle?

 

[indarican]

JJamiah I hope you are feeling better!!!

 

[JJamiah]

@indarican thank you so much

 

[JJamiah]

indarican I don't remove my combs when doing a PP. I do advise you fan open the combs before putting in and fan then open when taking out, shifting from left to right to make sure it doesn't snag any hairs. I wore a Phony pony for years never had an issue with losing hair. Stopped wearing it because after a while I had too much hair to go under.
