I would like to join....I am switching from straight looks to curly...the constant straightening to blend my perimeter into the weave is killing my hair..

I'm in.
I'll consider the pic in my fotki under April 2008 as my starting point. Please note that I'm really 1 inch beyond this pic.

I would love to join this challenge, but I'm terrible with weaves. I'm really bad at choosing the type of hair, and styling. I like straight styles, but I don't always like straight styles. I'm not relaxed, and the purpose is to use less heat which means I don't want to press my edges due to reversion. Then I wouldn't get a full weave. I'm just completely lost when it comes to weaves.

Ebzonix- I used to be natural and wore weaves. It's best to get a full head weave b/c you don't wanna use heat to straighten your natural hair if you leave it out and it reverts. As far as styles straight hair will you allow you more options with a weave. I currently have a straights style and I plan to curl it, braid outs, bantu knots and more. These are some options with wearing straight. Or you can get a weave that is naturally curly or wet n wave so it can have a spanish wave when wet but you can also straighten it out when you opt for other styles.
I'll post a pic tomorrow of my weave or perhaps later today if I can get around to it. I took down my interlocks (i did them myself) after only having them in for a week.
and did my full weave this weekend along with my sister's hair (neala) will also be doing the challenge.
Below is an idea of my hair (Bunny) looks after I did my weave but this is pic is from last year during my pregnancy. I also used synthetic hair that you can curl.

Anybody using megatek or oct? We can compare notes and help each other while we are weaved up. I have my before pics but it's only of my hair curly, but I will stretch some pieces and snap some shots.

I'm using OCT, but I don't have any true comparison pictures. I've been weaving it up since Feb.

Hmmmm, I really want to join this challenge. I think it will give my hair a much needed break. But I'm scared of the heat factor...as in "this hair makes me hotter than a mug..."
I already have issues with my current head of hair.
Second concern is finding a closure in time. I definitely want a weave with realistic closure. Will cost an arm and a leg, but since I'm natural, I don't want to leave any hair out that I would have to style (ain't no hair on the planet that will match my texture) and I don't want a full weave where it's completely sewn up. Any suggestions?

Thanks ayjacks!
To MekyakaKinkerbelle: Have you tried going to the beauty supply store. I know they carry various types of closures depending on if you are going for a straight look or curly. Plus, they offer closures I beleive in synthetic hair and definately in human hair. Some places even carry lacefront closures.

Here is my starting pic. I took this about 4 weeks ago. I am currently using OCT 3 x's a week and I have started taking 3 Alta silica daily. Pushing for an inch per month or more. Keeping my fingers crossed!!

@ Neala21...
I am meeting with my stylist this evening. We chatted a while on the phone and she is going to hook me up.
Add me to the list please
!
In by July 1, right?
My goal - I'm just gonna say 3-4 inches by the end of the year. Baby makes hair grow fast, but after baby, hair sheds like crazy. So, I'll be happy with 3 inches and full armpit length hair.

okay i got my weave done on last Friday. Ive started using OCT and have MT on the way. I use it with the applicator. So im looking for results. At first i didnt like my weave and was about to get it done over again. But i have to find someone to cut it up, thin it out and layer it out to make it look more natural.
Because spending that much on a weave it too much...

Just felt like posting my past weave and braid styles. I couldnt begin to tell you how many times Ive gotten my weaves done or how many styles. I have been wearing weaves since I was 15 years old (My sister does mine)

Sorry! I know this is so off topic, but please share your secret to getting your ab so defined. I'm vacationing back home in the Caribbean in August, and I have to tone my lower stomach. I've already stopped with the fast food, and I drink tons of water. Please pm me.

I used MegaTek with my last sew-in, and got a lot of growth. I plan to do so again with this sew-in.

This challenge is exactly what i needed, i swear you can find a challenge for anything on lhcf
.
I plan on getting my sew in next saturday. I will be leaving it in for 7 week before getting it redone again. I wanted to use the sew in to help me stretch my relaxer until October but If I can make it until Decemeber that will be perfect. As for a growth aid, I plan on jumping on the MT bandwagon for a couple of months then going backto my MN.
By the end of this challenge I hope to be full APL.
