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

[ProductJunkie]

Ohh Its good to know puffs are okay! Sometimes I have lazy days!!

I will be doing minimal puffs though! Mostly wearing twists and keeping them in buns and pinned up and i've been looking at half wigs!

 

[kittenz]

@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.

In that case, I think I'll join too My first HYH challenge

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

EbonyEyes813, your name has been added to the list.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

JJamiah, hope you're feeling better little bit!

 

[JJamiah]

^^^ My voice is gone! Practically it is low and deep, barely holding on!

 

[indarican]

JJamiah that sucks... get yourself some tea girl and stay in that bed!!

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

JJamiah, I see you have the mini Barry White thing going on.

Try drinking a little herbal tea with honey and lemon. One thing that I find helpful, is to stuff a peppermint into half of a lemon and suck on it. Helps me every time.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

kittenz, I hope you do decide to join us!

 

[bajandoc86]

I'm IN again! I ain't gonna lie....I cheated about 3 times posting length check pics. LOLOLOL! I promise to do better this time around.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

bajandoc86, I can tell you're gonna have me cracking up during this challenge. I've added your name to the list.

 

[jerseygurl]

I bought a phony puff to use as a PS, I just realized that my own puff is actually bigger than the fake one unstretched

I hope this challenge doesn't make me even more lazier than I am right now.

 

[kittenz]

ms coco37 You can add me! Thanks!

 

[indarican]

jerseygurl... that is awesome!!!

 

[Darenia]

I like that this challenge is only 6 months at a time. It's realistic and therefore doable. I want to join some other challenges as well but an entire year of some of this stuff is just too long for me.

I drunk all the tea I was drinking my theraflu with lemon
All my tea is gone except the Chia tea and Ginger, My others are gone

Yeah, it sounds sessy don't hate on my low deep tempo LOL

 

[ojemba]

I made my appt to get my hair in singles on the 28 so I'll be starting the new year hiding! I hope I don't hv any issues with detangling when I'm ready to take it down. I'm 3 months post and I'm just tired of dealing with my ng on wash days.
This stretch to transition is going to be a long journey.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Darenia, ITA! Anything more than 6 mos would have me in a stupor.

JJamiah, okay Barry.

ojemba, don't forget to snap a pic of your length for the reveal on the 31st. I've been watching your progress for a while now, and I'm excited for your reveal!

 

[godzooki]

I'm in!!! I haven't worn my hair down in forever anyway!! Should be interesting. I'm 24 wks post right now so we'll see what these six months will bring!erplexed

 

[Aggie]

Update: I got my weave sewn in today and I really love how it looks. I'll keep it in for about 6 weeks hopefully.

 

[ojemba]

Ms_CoCo37 I'll definetly take a pic when I wash again, I'll try to flat iron my ng to get a better idea of my current length. Thanks for the support. I'm going to need lots during the next year as I tackle this transition.

 

[JJamiah]

I broke my hair down; have prepoo'd it overnight which I feel my hair needs the extra love when not deep conditioned for 2 weeks

I am going to trim today when I get a chance to actually wash my hair

I have so much on my agenda today and I have to try to get it done.

 

[JJamiah]

Okay so I just started to wash out the Prepoo i had in my hair OMG

I had so MUCH breakage it MATTED UP IN THE MIDDLE I am so pissed, I wont' sleep in it again I will prepoo for a few hours but not over night

HUH ALOT Of hair came out! OMY good NESS!
It looked like a ratty mess tree, cotton pulled apart at my roots and middles

HUH not cool, and I am not feeling up to this mess right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[NikkiQ]

Boooooooooo!!!JJamiah what happened???? What in the world do you think caused that??

 

[JJamiah]

Boooooooooo!!!@JJamiah what happened???? What in the world do you think caused that??

I think leaving it in for over 24 hours scratching my head, moving around too much, I kept getting up last Night coughing and choking

I guess taking it down wrong. Just a mess; just a mess.


I put a Drc 28 treatment in it

Some Alter Ego Garlic Conditioner with another. Under the dryer don't even want to steam right now

Not in the best of mood because I am exhausted

 

[JJamiah]

I have blown dry, flat ironed for maybe the first time or second this year, 2 inch trim Yeah I needed it, I just was excited to cut it,

I HATE MY HAIR

I look like the oriental monks who shave all their sides off and have a long pony in the middle





I so would love to have some thicker hair

 

[ojemba]

JJamiah sorry for your ordeal with your wash. I know how frustrating it gets and wanting to reach for the scissors and chop chop.

Your hair is lovely none the less and I'm sure your trim made a world of difference. Thick hair has it's own challenges so hun don't be worried.

Morning Ladies,

I think this thread, Long term Transitioners and Crown and Glory 2012 will be my favorite and most active threads for 2012.

I trimed about 2 inches of my ends last night. It felt good. I'm no longer concerned with reaching MBL, WL ..... If I can transition and maintain a healthy Blunt BSB i'll be happy. Any more hair to deal with will just be a nightmare.

I figure I'll get a good trim every 3 months.

Have a Blessed Weekend All.

 

[JJamiah]

ojemba I am definitely a bit disappointed in the ordeal yesterday when I say locs of hair. Imagine pulling a little section where all the hair is still together like a patch of follicles came out. HUH so sad.... thanks so much for understanding.

It was at the roots matted in the middle, only part not matted was the ends until I combed the mat to the ends.

So Lots of hair lost. I am going to slow down on my wigging for 6 months for sure! I might half wig it but not corn rows. I am going to flip it up with a pin and toss a half wig or wear it up in a pony. My hair needs to thicken up and More TLC will be needed.

I have noticed a lot of SHEDDINg not breaking. Shedding from my roots. My hair is half the density it use to be. It is sad!

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

NaNaEternally and CurliDiva, your names have been added to the list.

 

[godzooki]

excited about this! Now all I need is to find someone who can braid my hair. Until then buns buns buns (or rather knots and lumps until I get better!)!
