Anyone doing anything interesting with their hair this summer? Any unique or special regimes (or challenges)? Just curious. I just ordered a lacefront wig and my plan is to braid my hair up for the entire summer. I will take it down every 2 weeks so that i can wash it. Im excited because i have a corporate job and i NEVER get to wear my hair cornrowed and just leave it alone!(except for washing of course). Anyone else?
 
I've been eyeing these lacefronts on ebay and I am really interested in getting one. I think that I might get one next month, but I am a fanatic about cleansing my hair, I would wash every couple of days. Does your hair have to 'braided up super neat?' I am also on the Ultra Thick Hair Shake Challenge this summer. My hair will be fully natural for the summer so I will be enjoying that--the transition is ova!:D
 
I'm going to vegas in june, has anyone been there and how did your hair hold up in that hot weather? For the rest of the summer, I plan on co-washing 3x per week, will probably stretch my relaxer for 3 months, since it's hot i'll wash my hair frequently, that will get me tremendous growth I hope.
 
Hey Suri! (pretty name). Thats a great question! I actually am having someone in atlanta do the entire lacefront for me. I went to her shop, she measured me, and the whole deal. The thing that i didnt know was this: Once the glue the lacefront is on, people normally leave it on FOR AWHILE...like weeks :eek: The reason is because apparently they are so hard to put back on correctly. She has clients that come every 3 weeks to 1 month to get a wash/set/wig put-back-on. If you learn to do it yourself you can do it more often but i heard you need help to do it. I was thinking you can take them off and on as you please. I dont think hair needs to be braided up 'super neat'. Just enough so that it doesnt bunch at the nape. She recommended an 'S' pattern.
 
I forgot to add, the reason i am trying a lacefront is because i am going to become her sales rep for lacefront wigs and remy hair here in atlanta (primarily for salons). I wanted to try the product before i first before i begin to do her marketing to my salon connects here in atl. Ill let you know how it goes when i get it in.
 
I think June-Aug I am going to rotate between wearing small cornroll extentions and larger ones. That'll give my hair a break and help me retain whatever length I get this summer.
 
I'd like to rock waist length box braids andd mtg for most of the summer.... but I know me. lol I'll have to see how long they last.
 
None here. I am going to try to go until July without using heat. And for that I plan to check my progress only.

But I want to start cowashing every 2 days and shampooing on Sundays. I hope to gain and inch per month and be a BSL by December 27th.
 
I was being lazy one night and decided to let my hair air dry... turns out that my hair is noticably curly/wavy because of the length. So I've decided to do wash and goes, and co wash 2-3 times a week. I have also stopped oiling my scalp. And I haven't had any problems with it since I co wash my hair, but it has only been a week and a half. --Oh, and I am also doing the Ultra Hair Thick Shake Challenge.
