*~*~*End Of The Year No Heat Challenge*~*~*

[tiffjust2002]

I borrowed some of this from the Summer No Heat Challenge

Let's see how long we can go without using heat. I personally used to be a flat iron/pressing addict I am reformed now and only use heat once every 3 months for my length checks and to feel my hair flowing . I completed the summer challenge and would like to continue the challenge, and I could definitely use a support team as well so I'm making/continuing this challenge for all who would like to join! This challenge will start from Sept 8th to Dec 31st for all who would like join.

Rules:
1. Thank this post if you'd like to join
2. No Direct Heat (Overhead Dryers are fine)
3. Post a Starting Pic by Sept 12th​

Passes:
Allowed 2 Passes for this Challenge​

So thats it! Hopefully this will turn into a cool thread where people can post non-heat hairstyles and find support from others.


LETS GO!​

Does a diffuser count as direct heat?

Does a diffuser count as direct heat?

That's a good question, hmmm I would say so because you are using the blow dryer just with the diffuser attachment. erplexed Are you using it on cool settings or low heat? I think it would be a good time to try air drying

I personally don't use a diffuser, haven't had good results with them

warm heat on a low setting tiffjust2002

I don't want wet hair all day

This is great. i'm glad overhead or hooded dryers are allowed because i totally forgot that that is heat (duh me) and i use it weekly for my deep conditioner.

and another thing that i totally never considered... using the blow dryer is fine as long as its on cool? I personally dont use it much anyways, but the thought of speeding up air drying by using the blow dryer on cool does entice me a bit, but since i'm not already doing it, i have no problem not even starting that practice if its too close to heat use (just an accidental nudge of the setting, and wham! Direct heat!)

oh okay, I think that would qualify as heat But what about rollersets?

What about cool on a low setting?

 

[ms.blue]

I use my siggy pic as my starting pic. My hair is currently flatironed but I might wash it out this weekend.

 

[coachchica]

I'm going to try this. My first challenge. I haven't decided when my passes will be but I will update.

This is my hair pic, straightened. Taken a few weeks ago. (color is off in the photo)

 

[MaraWithLove]

I'm joining! Should be relatively easy, especially since I may PS for a few weeks at a time.
Not sure when I'll use my heat passes, maybe once in late October if I even do and then at the end of the challenge!

My starting picture is attached.

Sounds like a plan to me

Ok, I want in then

 

[Kdiamond19]

Joining! I BCed in April and I haven't been using heat so far just because I was curious of the benefits. My aim is to go all the way to April 2012. I will use this challenge as motivation to continue.

Here is my starting pic (taken today).

The very front strand reaches the top of my top lip right now.

 

[glamchick84]

count me in, i have not used heat since may. I have a twa, so this challenge will be easy for me. I wear wigs all the time. I probably won't use heat until I hit my 2 yr nappy anniversary.

 

[missjones]

Here are some starting pics

 

[Ijanei]

Well my style I had going on didn't work to well for me. I tried to do a wash-n-go but it came out looking like hell-no instead now I'm upset. I'm trying not to use any heat. May just do a twist out then

 

[Ijanei]

Oh well, guess I will just flat iron for one last time. I need it!

 

[Imani]

Just peeking in to say good luck! I'm at the end of a 5 month no heat challenge from over the spring/summer. I plan to heat it up at least 3 times the rest of this year so I can't join the challenge. But I hope everyone has amazing results!

 

[tiffjust2002]

Okay ladies we are in the swing the things! How are you guys wearing your hair?

I have been rocking this side swooped twist out ponytail for 2 days and I think for tomorrow I'mma pin the ponytail up into a bun. Then probably co-wash this weekend.

hmmm I just noticed I have a little dandruff in my bangs, please ignore that hence the co-wash this weekend

 

[missjones]

Checking in: I refreshed my wash and go and then blow dried on a cool setting

 

[Kdiamond19]

Co-washed & air dried on Sunday. Currently rocking braids under my wig. Probably co-washing/deep conditioning on Saturday and installing a sew-in.

 

[missjones]

I think I'm out. Blow drying on a cool setting is not working for me, I need warm

[Kdiamond19]

^ Lol. You can do anything you put your mind to! So far I stayed committed to this challenge, come April 2nd it will be a year of No Heat. I honestly didn't think I would make it this far, but I did.
