Hide your Hair 2014

pre_medicalrulz I really wanted to do box braids too but opted for jumbo twists instead. Box braids take me forever to do!

On my last week of my 9 week kinky twists. These suckas come out Saturday. Ah, to wash my head under a full stream of water. I cannot wait!

I have a busy weekend so I hope I have time to take them out on Saturday and then style for Church on Sunday.

Lol totally understand. I took so many breaks that it took two days. It was the worst.

Still in my twists and LOVING the low maintenance action I'm getting; I could keep these for two months and be happy, BUT I'm forcing myself to take them out this weekend, for the health of my hair (I could use a normal wash and dc session....and remove all the shed hair:-/ )

It will be five weeks that I've had them on Wednesday. Time fliiiies, dude.

Just took down my sew in and now I remember all the reasons I started wearing wigs I had a little matting...I plan to trim and wear my hair out for a week or two until I get the urge to wig it or braids

Yeah I usually suffer through and only take water and bathroom breaks But ever since I learned to do havana/marley twists myself and discovered its wayyy quicker...girl thats all she wrote

I can already tell that taking down my five week old senegalese twists tomorrow is going to be a b**tch on my 15 week post hair -__- I'm definitely nervous about it. Thinking about doing a corrective relaxer on some underprocessed parts. I know thats not best practice, but oh well.

After the take down, I guess its back to wigs.

Getting ready to wash. I will say this protective style was much better on my hair than the weave. My hair retained more moisture and softness

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

My braids keep getting wet in the tub. No bueno.

 

[NGraceO]

Twists are out. Back to wigs

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

Got new marleys last Sunday, been in for a week. Plan on keeping these until the end of the month then moving on to box braids.

Started wearing my wig. I love it. White people in my office think I cut my hair. Lol. I was going to set the first person who thought so straight but I had a meeting and before I finished, the entire office knew I "cut" my hair so I just let it be. Lolllll.

Sooooo, I'm almost positive I'm going back into Senegalese twists this weekend. I want to rip this wig off my head. At work.

My natural hair is annoying me in a major way lately....I want to Hide my Hair for the next few months but my edges and leave out are always my main worry. smh. Wish me luck as I figure out what I'm gonna do.

They looked great on you & you did a wonderful job!

I'm ready for next week to get here. I'll be getting a weave install on Tuesday, if my stylist is available.

I have been considering micros for a bit since I am growing my hair out and it's getting hot. I have been wearing a wig all winter. I know it will be too hot but because if the thin spot I'm afraid I will lose more hair with the micros. I don't know what to do.

Thank you so much! How are the box braids holding up?

4 weeks today and it's getting to the point of no return. I can see my scalp in one small part but the rest is all hair and the braids are much closer together than the were at first.

I just want to make it until June. 2-3 more weeks.

I already know I'm going to deep condition with the ORS Replenish pak once I take down the weave before undoing the braids. It's the only thing to get my hair newborn soft.

 

[NGraceO]

Annnnnd the twists are back. Gues I won't be relaxing until 20 weeks

Lol not too good. My ends are sticking out the braids. Doesn't seem like much of a PS if this is what happens.

 

[msbettyboop]

Ok, I'm enjoying the wig but the wig cap is giving me an almighty headache. I've worn it for a week and I can't bear it any more. Any advice for loosening a it cap?

Right. That's why I don't consider braids a real "protective style." There is not not much "protecting" my hair from the elements, albeit a little weave. Lol.

I just do braids because of my hair fatigue and apathy, although I'm learning how much work braids can be when I actually take care of them.

Lol. This is why I only lasted a week when I tried to go back to wigs.


I stopped wearing caps with my wigs. Too hot.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]
