Hide Your Hair Til April Fools 2007 Challenge

I'm still in there and I'm seeing some growth :). I was in cornrows but now I'm going to do half wigs for the remainder of the challenge.
 
So far I have another inch since starting the challenge. I have my hair in cornrows and hidden under scarfs of different colors. I am loving playing with styling the scarfs. I wash at least twice a week and apply my homemade MTG or herbal mix twice a week. Once a month I clarify, deep condition, and redo my braids. I also put castor oil on my ends as needed. I am going to go a little past April 1 with this challenge and then show off my progress on Easter by getting it pressed or using the maxiglide, if I breakdown and buy one, lol. I think for the last month I am going to bump up my regimen by washing and applying my homemade MTG or herbal mix 3 times a week minimum and then cowashing the other 4 days.Q
 
DOING GREAT!!!! Had to get a relaxer and trim this past weeekend and I am officially APL!!!:grin: :bouncegre :love: :bouncy: :woot: The stylist even said that my hair was so strong (first time I ever go a compliment from a stylist!!!). I'm back to bunning and I'm excited to see more progress in the next month or so. I am sooo happy I joined this challenge and I can't wait until April 1st.

Now I just have to figure out how to get my pics off my camera phone:confused:

Congrats!!! Cant wait to see some pic!
 
Update: I'm cheating tomorrow. We get a "free pass" for birthdays and special occasions, and since I hid my hair on my birthday, then I'm gonna take my free pass tomorrow instead for my cousin's birthday since I'm going out! *please don't hit me RabiaElaine*!!

I don't know what kind of phone you have, but if you have Sprint there is a way to email them to yourself.

I used my pass too yesterday... :sekret:
 
I'm still in...I shampooed over the weekend and I spray every night with my water, Cantu, and Jamaican mango and lime oil concoction. My ng feels really soft. I plan on taking the twists out April 7th and then waiting at least a week (maybe 2) b4 I get a relaxer.
 
I'm still in too. I've been wearing a half wig. I don't know how long my hair is (I haven't been combing either). I'm getting a relaxer this weekend though. We shall see.

LOL!!!I got a touch up last night. I wore my hair out(first time since Jan. 14) to work. One of my kindergarteners said "Mrs. Smith, you wore your hair out?!?!?!!?":eek: :lol: . I am amazed with what these kids pick up on! I assured her that on Monday my hair will be back up! I wish I took a pix on the 14th, however, my SO said my hair has grown! I'm about 3" from APL.
 
My ends are suffering. I may have to ditch the challenge.:ohwell: Can I use a rollerset as a PS? My hair has grown some, but I feel like I'm losing the battle.:(

Congrats! I'm so happy for you :) Can't wait to see pics..I hope I'm APL by the end of the challenge

I can't wait to see how my hair has progressed. When moisturizing my hair at night, I see that it seems to be getting longer. I'm getting a touch up next weekend so I'll be able to see then.
I'm still going strong with hiding my hair. Once the challenge is over, I am DEF. taking a break from protective styles and let it ALLL hang out :grin:
 
I'm still in trying to stretch my relaxer until the 14th of March. My hair is starting to shed because it's relaxer time. I'm still bunning and wearing phony ponies!!!:D
 
oh my goodness, i'm so bored... :( protective styles always do this to me, even though i know the end result is worth it...

maybe i need to switch up my hairstyle, but still find a way to comply with the HYH challenge...
 
I'M STILL HANGING IN THERE. TOOK OUT MY WEAVE THIS WEEK AND HAVE BEEN IN BUNS SINCE. I CAN'T WAIT TO RELAX AND WEAR MY HAIR DOWN.
 
I FAILED!!!:crying3: I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.:wallbash: I WAS SO BORED WITH THE BUNNING. I DIDN'T EVEN FEEL DRESSED UP. EVERYONE AT WORK WAS LIKE 'YOUR LOOKS VERY NICE' MY DAUGHTER WAS LIKE MOMMY I HATE THAT BUN. I DID MY BEST THIS WAS THE LONGEST:ohwell:
 
I'm hanging in there too...I've been rocking my sew-in so it's kind of easy. The main challenge is resisting the urge to take out my sew-in before the end of my 4 month relaxer stretch... but I think I'll make it.
I can't wait to see everyone's results! Just about a month to go!
 
I accidently found a new PS that helped me get back on the challenge. I only wore my hair out 1 day. I guess that was my pass.:naughty:
 
One more month ladies....just one more month.

Wear your hair out at home and take pics for your fotki, if that would help. It's helping me.......alot!
