3 MONTH BAGGY CHALLENGE

[Bint Yusef]

Yes I think so. I have combatted that with a few protein treatments.

Hmmm might be moisture over load for ur hair

 

[kinkylyfe]

I'm really loving the BAGGIE challenge!!! I am using the individual baggie method atleast 4 days / week and I noticed a growth in my hair. I don't know EXACTLY how much but there has been a difference. I use a mixed cond regimine on my braids, seal with castor oil or vaseline then baggie. Patiently waiting for the complete results AFTER the 3months.

I took it a step further - I bag my full head at nite and bag under my bun during the day. I hope this is not overkill

May check-in. - If it is overkill, I'm guilty also! The baggy method is going well for me. I've been doing it since Jan, and my hair is moist and happy.

[jayjaycurlz]

I've been doing well withthis challenge also. I'm baggying everyday under my phoney pony and I'm doing DCs with protein once a week to combat the moisture. My hair is loving me right now!

At this rate I'll be 'full shoulder length' by June!

Yeah!

My hair is just loving the baggy, my goal was 4xs a wk now I find myself baggying 6-7xs a wk, I love it. I noticed some growth in the back where there has been so much damage, so I asked my son & husband if they noticed any growth and they yes! I love this challenge

 

[CherrySBR]

So , I have been a lurker for awhile and finally decided to join and start taking proper care of my hair. I did the BC last year Jan and it was wonderful. I would love to stay bald, but the husband was not to happy with a wife with no hair.Now that my hair has grown and I am in need of care and going to the salon is very costly. Not to mention due to religious reasons I have to find someone who can do my hair without men coming in and out of the place. Anyways I decided to go with the baggy challenge since my hair is lacking moisture, but I cannot find the instructions on how to start it. How do it? Please can someone help me out. Oh by the way my name is Cherry, thanks in advance.

 

[coconow2007]

darkempress and all of you ladies who have offered help and advice you get a big thank you - I just started baggying 5/19th and already noticed a great deal of growth - not only that my hair feels thicker and appears stronger. I am officially a 'baggy convert'

Although I didn't give any advice (I don't think I did), I'm glad the baggy method is working for you. In that hot dry AZ weather, you will certainly get a benefit from extra moisture.

All I do is use a moisterizer, some essential oils to stimulate the scalp, then seal it with evoo, and put a plastic cap on then a tie a satin scarf on. HTH

 

[eve777]

excuse my ignorance, but im new to this.........but what is a baggy?

The baggy method is used either on a ponytail/bun or the entire head to add and/or hold moisture to the hair. If we put a baggy on the ponytail, it is just a sandwich bag. The ones that do not have a zipper. When we baggy the entire head we use processing caps, shower caps, or just a plastic grocery bags. Before putting the baggy on we moisturize and seal with oil. If you type baggy or baggy method in the search box, you will find much more info. It may also help to read some of the beginning of this thread. HHG

 

[coconow2007]

Thanks Goldenbreeze - It is really helping I forgot that my hair could actually look so conditioned. This dry air and hard water in Arizona has really been hard on my hair.

Thank you for the instructions. I started the challenge and already my hair is loving the moisture.

 

[CHECKMATE!]

I really adore the baggy method,but I find that not using moisture on my hair works better,for me....my hair thrives in a warm & moist environment...My hair grows like a weed in the summertime...I noticed that putting moisture under the baggy is overkill for my fine strands...I really believe that hair grows better in warmer humid climates,I say all this 2 say that the baggy method gives hair that "summer" environment for optimal growth...idk...just thinking

 

[Aveena]

I'm not in the challenge, however, I have been baggying periodically. I can't do it more than 2 times a week but so far it's great! It's a keeper. I add moisture beforehand depending on the condition of my hair that particular day. Sometimes I do sometimes I don't.

It sounds good. What oil are you sealing with?

Welcome to the board and the challenge.

 

[chica_canella]

Maybe some jojoba oil or Sealed Ends by Bonacure?

 

[scarcity21]

ladies...with braids that baggy...do u seal with oil? I have micros in now and I ask bcos i spray with surge/ aphogee green tea...followed by a moisturising tea tree braid spray by parnevu....some nights i follow with my mixture (scurl, NTM E.oils of rosemary,rose hip,emu and castor oil) instead to offset surge's drying effect?
But reading the last 3 or four posts in this thread got me thinking that maybe ive been doing it wrong all along...bcos i do not seal with oil...(althoough ive noticed increased thickness and my hair is moisturised when the braids come out)...lemme find out ive been doing it wrong all this time
I guess what i wanted to know is if u seal the braids with jojoba, castor or emu oil after spraying ur leave in nightly?

 

[GoldenBreeze]

Maybe some jojoba oil or Sealed Ends by Bonacure?

Jojoba should be fine. I'm not familiar with Bonacure, but if it's an oil it should be fine. Try it out and see if the baggy method works for you, but most of all listen to your hair.

 

[mommie]

Glad your hair is loving it

I started bagging my whole head on the 1st of June. I noticed my hair was enjoying the moisture around the 5th or 6th day. As of today it has been a full 2 weeks. I have gotten so use to wearing my shower cap all day long that I decided to not take it off. Well I finally decided to do my hair in a doobi last night and my husband was like your hair looks good. It finally hit me that he was talking about the condition of my hair. I have super thick curly hair. It is always dry, and dull looking. Now it looks like I just conditioned it. I believe I am a bagger for life. Being that I have to cover my hair due to religious reasons, I can wear my whole head baggie outside and nobody will ever know.
