Hide your Hair 2014

[faithVA]

Okay so this morning I gave Marley braiding hair a try for the first time; I'm trying to add some variety and fun to my "Hide your Hair" challenge. Thanks to Youtube I did my best to pull off this faux bun with my TWA. Toni from Mynaturalsistas on YT just posted a really cute video on this too.

That looks really cute. You did a great job.

Thanks faithVA

I think I will buy some more naffy collection hair this week, so I can be prepared for my next install. I have 1 package left, but if I make them longer next time I will need 2 packs. So I will probably buy 2 or 3 packs. I wonder if they ever have a sale?

Still hiding under my wig. I took down my beehive because I'm gonna give mega Tek another try (I was cleaning and found the bottle). I want to be able to asses my hair weekly. I did some medium single plaits and pulled them back into one cornrow in the back. My wig still looks good on since it's a curly wig.

Anyone here ever use Catherine Marion hair?

I have an event to go to in a couple of months and I need my hair looking nice. My hair by itself is all right. Hovering around shoulder when stretched out but I'm going to be doing other things connected to the event throughout the week and need it to look nice the entire time. I've never been particularly hair savvy. I'm thinking about just doing a bkt on my hair myself (i've done it before and it turned out splendidly) and having it professionally pressed so that I don't have to worry about reversion.

But what I really want is a weave. I haven't had one in soooooo long and I just can't be having it look foolish. My edges got damaged from some braids but I'm rubbing castor oil and grease and I'm hoping they will fill in in about a month's time.

Below are some pictures of how I would like my theoretical weave to look like. Like what kind of hair should I buy for these? My real hair would probably look closest to the first picture when straightened, but like 4 inches longer. Although it's not super clear, if I could get my weave to look anything like that Gabrielle Union photo, that would be ideal.

msbettyboop , I've never used a closure before. I always just get a full headed weave. I'm scared that a closure will look so fake. One day I'll take the bite but heres how my weaves usually look.

shawnyblazes, Where did you get this weave? What brand/hair is this?

Did this take you long to do? Like more than 20 minutes?

 

[ojemba]

Harina it's the PTS001-s but I made a middle part my plucking the hair out.

 

[Smiley79]

Harina. No it takes less than ten minutes but it took me a few tries because im not coordinated when it comes to styling my hair, smh.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Harina I dont remember which item it was but it came from the janet collection 1b. I'll check my fotki and see if I listed it there

Still wearing these braids after ten weeks.
Gonna try to keep them in through February, and then the weekend of March 1st, they will come out.

I don't know how I ever got along without braids.
All that time in the mornings trying to set my hair right lol.

 

[msbettyboop]

Put my braids in. Out $100 but they look fabulous!!! Plan to keep them in till end of March/early April.

I'm late in joining the challenge but I already started braiding my hair in Jan of this year. I currently have it in braids but had a major major set back from the first set of braids due to them being too small. I told the braider not to do them so small she disregarded so I changed braiders.

Yay!!! I'm late... but I've been doing all this already since January 1st! I'm @ work right now, but I'll come back and post... but if you need me to post a pic of my hair, I can't... because it's all braided up... so now what?
I really wanna join... can I still be part of the cool wig club?

 

[ojemba]

My hair feels amazing. Very moisturized and shiny. This weekend I plan to wash and deep condish and put in some twist for a twist out puff next weekend to go out. I'm not going to let my hair hang because I'm still trying to hide my length loll. I will co wash on the 17th then back in my cornrows/plaits and under my wig.

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

Today marks 4 weeks since my sewin. 8 more weeks to go.

 

[Adiatasha]

9 weeks into my sew in... 3 more weeks to go!!

 

[Whit]

I'm 3 weeks into my first sew in of the year. 5 more weeks to go!

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

I bleached the sewin.

 

[Babygrowth]

I didn't want to do my own sew in but so much is happening right now and I'm tired of putting it off. I braided my hair last night and dyed the extensions. When they dry I will do the install. Hopefully tonight. This Peruvian hair takes a long time to dry.

 

[Oneprettypa]

I'm late but I'm definitely on the HYH journey! Last year was sew ins, this year it's wigs! I'm a newbie with wigs but so far so good.

 

[beauti]

took my braids out last night. After dcing I will put a weave in this afternoon.

 

[Babygrowth]

Finally finished my sew in. Will post pics this wknd.

 

[beauti]

ok I didn't put the weave in. I did a side bun with marley hair. I've decided to put the weave in later tonight

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I'll be taking my hair out next Friday which will be 9 weeks. I intend on resting my hair for two weeks, then move onto crochet braids.

 

[felic1]

The wigs I have over here are looking hit. I will go by my house this evening and pick up a set. ( I am at my mother's while she is sick). I don't even want to put them on!

 

[Babygrowth]

Here's my sew in. I think I will wash/dc my scalp and braids every 2weeks and wash/cowash/dc the weave weekly.
Gotta make this last 9 weeks. Then I will trim do a touch up and reinstall 4 weeks later.
