Hide your Hair 2014

[kinky curlygenie]

I will be hiding my hair for the next 4-5 months so I'll be cheering from the sidelines ladies and peeping in to look at what ps styles you have. **

ojemba cute wig, it looks very natural.

I am so tired of this weave! It's only been three weeks but I want it out already but I paid too much to take it out so quickly.

When are we doing our reveals for March? I'm considering getting some box braids for April and May...

Got my three wigs today. I'm set for at least 6 months cause these wigs are synthetic anyway.

If you properly maintain, can you keep a sew in for more than 3 months?

 

[Kiowa]

Can you still join? I'm planning not to see my hair until Dec 2014 Having my next install tomorrow..

You really wouldn't want to do that. You will just make the uninstall more difficult for yourself.

However I have done 4 months but no more than that. I drenched my hair in moisturizer and oil before cornrowing it. My uninstall was smooth sailing and my hair was still soft and moisturized with little to no tangles.

OAN I found no one to cornrow so Im rocking celie plaits once again under my wigs.

Celie plaits are the way to go.

Which wigs did you get?

 

[beauti]

its been about a month with my wig. will dc overnight and put hair in plaits instead of cornrows this time. I'm loving my synthetic wig. it was curly when i bought it but i straightened it. love it this way

NGraceO, if you do celie plaits, won't there be visible bumps in the wig. Not sure if that makes sense.

Some cheapie ones with bangs; long and short, straight and curly.

No. You have to do the front ones lower on the side of your head. By your ears. If that makes sense. Lol

Hold up. You can straighten a synthetic wig?

I was agreeing, lol. That wasn't a question.

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

See. There are 6. Theyre pretty flat.

I don't see how you fit allllll that hair under a wig comfortably lol

 

[Gr8ness83]

2 months down, 10 more to go....

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

Nah its not comfortable. Like NOT AT ALL. Lol

 

[Babygrowth]

I don't see how you fit allllll that hair under a wig comfortably lol

I was thinking the same thing! Lol

 

[Chaosbutterfly]

One more week in this install, and it'll be time to take it down. Will be 5 weeks in all. I have alot of overgrowth and can barely see the parts anymore, so even though I wanted to wait 6 weeks at least, I'm gonna take them out early.

Time to start researching how I want to do my next set. I'm thinking larger and shorter for next time.

I'm sorry girl I'm just seeing this! You gotta quote a sistah! pre_medicalrulz synthetic hair is not what it used to be. I straightened it with my CHI and this was no wavy wig, it was curly. But the wig has to say flat iron safe

Switched from wig wearing last Wednesday to Senegalese twists to give myself a much-needed break from wig boredom. So far, so good. I really like how much easier these chunky Senegalese twists are to moisturize and seal than the smaller ones I typically do. This style may become my staple for a while if this keeps going well. I plan to redo my edges this weekend, Nd I have have been m&s every other night.

 

[Adiatasha]

11 more weekend to go!
One week completed....

[Babygrowth]

I took out my weave and have been rocking a short wig. I'm doing my touch up next week then letting my hair breathe for a while. After that I'm either doing a crochet set of Senegalese twists or the chunky twists like NGraceO. Love that style.

 

[sj10460]

I've had my weave since Feb 19th and I'm dying to take it down! I know I have some good growth because my leave out looks crazy and my top track is pushed back at least an inch. Every weekend I say I'm going to get it done over but something keeps coming up. I'm going to try to take tomorrow off of work and get it done. I need a deep conditioner stat!
Still deciding if I want to get braids or wear a wig for the next four weeks. I want a fresh install for my trip to MIA the end of May.
