After 6 LONG months we are going to take our hair out of hiding and show everyone the WONDERFUL progress we've made.
seymone said:I would like to say congrats to all.. Rabia, your growth is amazing!! I would definitely be in on the next challenge
CurliDiva said:I totally forgot about revealing my hair - I cooked up a stom yesterday!
Hiding my hair is just ME now, I will defintely keep it up in the New Year.
I've checked out every post/photo/link in this thread, and want to give a COLLECTIVE to eveyone!
The hair is beautiful and everyoine made such great progress - how knew the difference that 6 months could make!
WTG!
blac_quarian said:Great job ladies, each and every one of you - your progress is awesome!
When is the next challenge starting and what's the criteria? I want in next time!!!
RabiaElaine said:It will start over in January. At some point this week I'll start a thread to discuss the exact criteria we want to go by.
The basic criteria of the challenge is to keep your hair hidden in whatever protective styles you decide for the duration of the challenge. We also hid our hair as much as possible from family and friends. We didn't post pics of our hair either for the duration so that it would be a surprise to everyone to see how far everyone got. That's it really, pretty simple challenge...though it does take a certain amount of persistance.
Lucia said:Rabia, this is going to be the short 3 month stretch right?
BTW I know I got weave checked yesterday by some relatives, they were looking hard, one of them actually held my head (slick right) while giving me a hug with the other arm, yeah it's real

It looks like my link in the first post doesn't work...hopefully this one will
RabiaElaine said:The first link worked for me...
RabiaElaine said:LOL yeah they were real slick probably hugging you with their fingers dug into your thick head of hair looking for tracks!!!!!!!
I can't wait for that to happen to me.
Anyway yeah we could do 3 months or we could keep with the theme of holidays and Hide Your Hair Til April Fools??? It's really up to the majority then again from January to April Fools is 3 full months so I guess that works. Then after that we could Hide Our Hair Until Independence Day and then if everyone wanted we could hide from then until XMas for another 6 month stretch. It's really up to the group.
Actually I'll start a thread to discuss the criteria of the next Challenge which starts promptly on New Years Day.
tsmith said:Rabia that sounds good. Do (2) three months of hiding and then do the big BAM 6 month stretch for XMAS...that sounds really good because the (2) three months stretch will allow time to prepare for the BIG one. I have to see how the bootcamp challenge is going to fit in here...It'll work somehow...I need to go and read the rules for the bootcamp again
RabiaElaine said:Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. I was reading the bootcamp challenge a few days ago and I think it fits in perfectly with our HYH challenge.
I'm so excited about the next challenge I really hope to announce that I am an official APL!!!!!!!!
pistachio said:Rabia Elaine,
I'm proud of all the other ladies who did the challenge with you too, but I want to say that I'm proud of you in particular because I've lurked on this forum, and I remember when you first joined the forum your hair was chin-length. But now, you're well on your way to APL, and I'm confident that if you keep up what you're doing, that you'll be near BSL by the end of '07 Good Luck!!
nelli711 said:Thank you Fallback! You started my morning off to a good start Thank you for the compliment. Let me just say that I love your hair, it looks so thick and healthy and the color is great!
nelli711 said:Girl please, the way you're going, you WILL definately be APL by the end of the first 3 month HYH challange
