Oh wow, looks great, very much your own hair.
ParagonTress, I am up to the challenge. We should do this as a side challenge to this one and by september 2011, we will see how much more product we still have. I was thinking maybe take a picture of your whole products now and then a picture after, like a progress pic of product stash .
I still have my crochet braids and I love love love them. I am now thinking of keeping them until around chrismas time ( 7 weeks), People keep raving about my hair and I realised I am the only one conscious of all the NG under the cornrows lol, so let it be.

I'm still wearing my HWs. I'm actually in luv with the wavy one b/c I can leave my natural hair out and not have to flatiron, etc. to match the wig. This is the end of week 3 of my 2nd install of bee hive braids.

Guys, I am sooooo wanting a sew-in right now.

Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Ok, I'm having an issue. I've been wearing a half wig b/c I don't like the wiggy look. But no matter what I do...dc, mn, sulfur, leave in, etc. The portion of my hair that is out in the front keeps getting shorter and shorter. It's the same thing that happened when I wore a weave. Now I have a bang that I didn't want. How do u ladies keep your leave out hair from breaking off?

Starofsouth I was having that same problem. The top "front" was breaking off.(the part that was covering the front of the wig) That is why I was "forced" to choose a half wig that compliments my head and face. The only other advice I can give is maybe cornrowing the front back and wearing your half wigs like that (with the cornrows showing). That way your hair in the front is still "protected" somewhat.

HTH

You guys are the perfect ppl to ask about this:

I would love to do a super laid back reggie like this but I'm a single woman and have a lot of questions surrounding this type of protective styling while dating. Doesn't that make things awkward? If you guys have any insights pls share

Good question. I'm married of course but if I were single. I wouldn't let the guy know it was a wig unless we were serious (engagement, etc), but also let him know that you're trying to acheive a goal of long healthy hair and this is a short term means of getting there...at least that's what I tell my husband...he's excited about the fast results I'm getting.

I really don't see why people are bent out of shape about wigs...I think they're cool and lot's of people wear them for style/protection.

Ladies. Are any of you doing the Black Tea Rinse while keeping your hair braided? If so, how are you doing it? I would like to incorporate this during this time.

Thank you.

I am, although I add other teas like nettle as well.

I just pour the rinse over my hair and cover it up w/ my shower cap while I wash my body. When it's done, i rinse it out and then do my final ACV rinse

This challenge is so easy for me that I'm afraid I'll forget how to make my own hair look nice once I reach my length goals. Anyone else feel that way?

I'm wearing a new wig as of today by Sennsationnel (sp). My wavy wig was getting ragged (b/c I slept in it sometimes) and only lasted three wigs. Here is my new one for the next two to three weeks. I think I'll take my beehive down after 5 weeks this time instead of 7 (This is week 3 now).

Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Boy O Boy. Let me tell you.....I washed my hair this weekend and did the BTR also. Everything went fine. But a little voice told me to check one of the box braids in the back to see how it is doing. so I undid the braid and OMGosh!!! The hair near the roots was so matted!!!! I was so scared because I remember what happened to Ateyaa on Youtube! So I started combing out each braid. It took me (no lie) 2 days to comb out my hair and re-braid. A lot of hair did come out. But I think it was mostly dead hair beign that I did not comb my hair in a month.

So with that said, I think for now on I am going to wash and re-do the braids every two weeks.

What do you think the culprit was? My hair being in box braids? Do you think I should have had them in cornrows? I did notice that the front of my hair (which is in cornrows going back) was not so hard to comb out.

Someone please help.

Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

I FINALLY read every page in here and realized I was doing it wrong and applying the DMM every week... geesh. Gotta pay attention...smh.
So last week I washed and did the Aphogee 2 min, applied Hollywood Carrot for the Deep Conditoner then sealed with EVOO. My hair is braided using synthetic hair because it is too short to hold cornrows. Nonetheless my hair was VERY moisturized when I took the braids down. I have very little leave out and still moisturize and seal that daily. I need to take pics of the wigs I am wearing:

Outre Yasmine and Tammy I tried to attach pics... I am way outta practice but it worked. I don't have a headband on with Tammy just trying her out

I think the box braids were the culprit. Also did you braid your hair while wet? Are you relaxed or natural? Did you add hair?

I'm transitioning and have 4a/b hair and two things I cannot do is braid my hair wet, and braid it in it's natural state. LadyP has a softer texture than mine so she can do that but for me that's just begging for disaster. I apply the DMM the same, the only difference is I lightly blow dry my hair (I actually consider it more of heat stretching since I'm not trying to straighten it) first. I also add a small amount of synthetic hair to each cornrow to add more stability since my hair isn't naturally thick, especially my edges. I did the same thing for my kinky twists and experienced no matting or thinning. I'm basically doing a hybrid of LongHairDontCare's and LadyP's regimens and it's been working well for me so far. My natural hair is growing out so soft and lush to the point I'm almost ready to chop off the relaxed ends. I want a good length first though.

Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

My hair is getting really thick and I usually wash, DMM and go next door for her to corn row it for me so my hair is still wet. I this asking for damage? She says very little hair come out.
I was thinking about letting it air dry getting it braided, spritizing it with water and with an applicator bottle do the DMM.

How does that sound?

Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

I stopped wearing the half-wig for a bit (this is week 2.5 since I stopped).
I loved that Polly wig by Outre but it was getting boring to me and the rebraiding time (and detangling) of the box braids was horrendous. It took me three days! So I just installed Kinky twists when I took down the single braids at the end of November and I'm rocking them. I'm doing co-washes on them but I may do BTRs or even steam treatments on this hair. I should be taking it down in a week (or over the coming weekend), by God's grace, because I want to retwist my hair and try out the marley braid hair!

Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

i ordered this today.My wig collection is becoming a problem lol....YouTube - "Bentley" Lace Front Wig From Pinklacewigs.com

LOL! Unless your wig collection is like April's (muffinismylover on YT) you definitely do not have anything to worry about! That gurl has to have at least 300 wig! She has so many that she had to have a blog sale!

But I have to say, her buying all of those wigs did a service for all of us because she's hit every wig company and she definitely knows how to blend that hair in the front! That's who got me into my half wigs, then my lace fronts.

But even so, I'm still about to run over to your channel to see what you have because you're closer to my skin tone and you just might give me some ideas!! So I agree with you....there is definitely going to be a need for a support group soon! Can you say "addiction"?

*Sigh*!!! My ONLY comfort now is knowing is that I don't have so many that I have to have them over running my house.......at least not yet.

Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

This is just my opinion, but I think it's just braids period! I've had the same problem with cornroll braids, you are going to get matting depending on how much products you use on your hair and how long you keep the braids in your hair. I personally do not wash my braids, I try to wash my scalp and I moisturise my braids every other day. I apply sulfur oil to my scalp at least 3-4 times a week. I do my own braids/plaits and I noticed this last time when I took down my braids after 4 weeks, it wasn't that bad at all. This was the first for me, doing my own plaits instead of going to get them professionally cornrolled, but I noticed that I didn't have as much shed hair, I mean I had enough, but it wasn't that bad. When I take down my braids/plaits, I use aloe vera juice and spray all over section and then comb with wide tooth comb. When I take them down in 2 weeks, I'm going to try using oil to see what difference it will make. I also redo the last row of my plaits every two weeks to try to overcome the matting/buildup because the nape and sides are prone areas for buildup. I hope this helps.

Boy O Boy. Let me tell you.....I washed my hair this weekend and did the BTR also. Everything went fine. But a little voice told me to check one of the box braids in the back to see how it is doing. so I undid the braid and OMGosh!!! The hair near the roots was so matted!!!!

Hi Kbragg. I am 4a/b as well. I cannot braid or comb my hair while wet either. I wait until it is at least 80/90% dry. I do not add hair to my braids. Never saw the need to. But someone was saying maybe I should do cornrows for now on. I am just afraid of unnecessary breakage and not being able to wash and moisturize the cornrows good too.

I am also wondering if being that I am do for a touch up that THAT may have also added to the matting???

Can you or someone please post the link to LongHairDontCare's regimen please. Thank you.
