NJOY'S HAIR CONCOTION CHALLENGE

I'm wearing wigs too to protect my hair and get maximum growth :grin:

My hair is in 2 plaits under my wig. I plan to take down and rebraid once per week. My new growth is so thick right now that all I can do is hide it under wigs.

Hey, me too! I'm planning on wigging it until the end of the year.

Since I've had so much time to think and anticipate this 9/1 start date, I think I want to "wig it" while in this regimen and REALLY maximize my growth by low to no manipulation except for co-washing and air drying. What styles are you guys going to use? Bunning? Rollersetting? Braids? It's almost fall which I LOVE so I'm all about protecting my tresses and rocking a new 'do.

I plan to use half-wigs and also wear buns, which is really what I like to do this time of year anyway. I generally wear my hair out very rarely.

Two braids! That's an idea. I was debating getting my hair cornrowed underneath, but then I would have to get someone to do it. I just can see being all bulky with a shorty 'do. :lachen: Not. Cute.

Are you using the Liquid Gold Hair Growth Oil?
 
I felt like I was on a scavenger hunt. However, I was able to purchase all of the ingredients and mix a bottle this evening. I must admit I could not wait to get started and applied some this evening. My scalp is not tingling, which I assume is the result of not letting it set overnight.

If my DH was up I would have him take a pic of my hair. It looks a little rough but it works. lol

I do use Liquid Gold hair oils. (I am affiliated with the company but can still say that the oils are awesome :yep: )

Yup! Major trim - lets call it a cut - had to get rid of unevenness. So I'm back to APL. But I'm still OK 'cause the ends are a bit more even. Shooting for BSL sometime in 2013. And I'm sure betweem my Hairfinitly and this challenge, I'll make it.

I know I signed up for the 4 months, but secretly I don't plan to stop using this oil mix until I reach my goal...now THAT'S determination!!:lachen::lachen:
 
I have a general question. I will be mostly wearing my daily buns. When I apply the oil mixture, I can smell it throughout the day.:perplexed Should I be conscious that others can smell it too, and just stay away from folks for the next few months?:ohwell:

Edit: another question.....I still plan on henna'ing monthly. Will the sulfur be a problem for henna??
 
baddison, try putting it on right when you get home from work. By the am, the smell should be be faded. I used mtg and that stuff reeks. I would do it in eve and by the am it was faded. Unless folk are all up on you they shouldn't smell you.

Am i tripping or is it 9/1?? Do I see some cheaters in our midst??!!! Lol.......or is it just motivated enthusiasm?!!
Click to expand...

I signed up for the challenge, but I don't think I will be able to apply more than 24 hours before going to the hair salon. Therefore, I am trying to get it in now. :lol:
 
I'm cowashing my hair today and need to avoid the temptation to (cheat) start early. :takecover:

This will at least give me a chance to take photos...
 
Here's my pic. Unfortunately. Won't be able to start till I get back home mid September

http://www.hairwigharlem.com/sensationnel-100-human-hair-bump-collection-wig-easy-27.html

I never do well with wigs that have long lengths. They just scream, "Phony!" on my head. :lachen:
 
xu93texas said:
Yeah, I'm cheating! Do you see the length of my hair? :lol::lol: I started ASAP!
Click to expand...
You right, you right!!! Get it shorty 'do!! The cut looks super cute on you though!! Rock it hard while you can, twas don't stay short for long!! :yep:

QueenAmaka said:
LOL I have big cheeks so the extra hair balances them out :lachen::lachen:
Click to expand...
That wig is SUPER CUTE!!! For some I couldn't see the pic on yesterday, I like it!! Can it take heat? Did it have high shine so that you have to do an ACV rinse?

It 8/31, I think we should all have a Sulphur Eve party and start today!!! Whoop whoop!!! Happy Sulphur Eve Ladies!!! :lachen::lachen:

:party::party: :yay::yay::bouncy::club::bounceline:


HAPPY FRIDAY TOO!!!!!
 
Looking forward to tomorrow ladies!! I'm sitting here looking at my oils and trying to figure out which ones I'm going to use for the challenge. This is my 3rd batch of this miracle oil :P

here are the oils I currently have:

JBCO
Sweet Almond Oil
EVOO
EVCO (no no )
Lavendar Oil
Tea Tree Oil
Peppermint Oil


what mix will I use? Aaahhh!! I don't know! This is the first time I've had my precious baby EVOO back in the oil family for about 8 months :( it's been too long. I'll let y'all know what I decide to mix oh..and somebody sure threw my 8oz plastic bottle in the trash. It was sitting on the sink, I wanted to knock somebody out. I just ended up picking up a new one at the BSS yesterday when I went.
 
Ok... i took some pics this morning... it's been a while since i took pics to document anything soooooooooooooooooooo yeah...

Pic 1: this is the stretched (wet) length on the left side

Pic 2: this is unstretched and you can pretty much see where the relaxed hair ends and the natural hair begins... eventually the relaxed hair will be trimmed away so i took this picture to get a better idea the length of my unstretched natural hair

Pic 3: a shot of the back, straight out of the shower... my hope is that at the end of this challenge, that thicker portion will be resting comfortably on my back... lol
