Quick Roll Call - Weaves and MT

[jamaicalovely]

Quick roll call...

Who's doing weaves with MT this year?

Did you do it last year?

 

[SUPER SWEET]

I am starting in Feb for the first time. I will have all my relaxed ends cut and wear a weave until July 4th weekend. I hope to gain atleast 5 inches of hair.

Good, you all are responding!

I'm planning on doing it.

Bumping...I'm thinking about trying this out but I want to make sure I don't overload on protein, but if I mix with oil, wouldn't that clog the hair follicles in my scalp???...plus I'm not sure about how often I should wash my weave to:
A) avoid product build up
B) avoid my real hair matting underneath the weave

Please Heeeeelp!

I am doing it...MT supposed to arrive on Monday. JL...any advise on how to apply?

I don't have a full head...just three tracks (thinking about increasing it to half my head with only the front out for believability). I have actually resigned myself to losing these weak damaged ends anyway so I am not sure if I want to work too hard to protect them.

I've been doing it since June. I'm not sure how much growth I have, I haven't had a relaxer since this past May. Also, I'm not sure when I will finally relax my hair. But I can see a difference in growth during my take downs.

I did it for about 3 months this year when I got the urge to cut my hair. I'll probably do it again in 2009.

I am definitely doing OCT and MT with weaves for 2009.

Use applicator bottle to apply between the braids.

No, it should not clog the scalp. I wash 1x per week and co wash 1x per week. To prevent matting, I would not keep the hair in more than 8 weeks.

Thanks for responding, ladies. I was asking cuz I was trying to gage if we should do a MT/OCT w/ Weave Mini Challenge. I created one on BHM and there were a few girls active.

Hi Ladies!

I'll be doing weaves and MT! If there is a challenge count me in!

 

[jamaicalovely]

Hmmm...maybe if we get 10 ppl interested we can start one. I think from the responses we have about 6 or 7?

I was looking at your Fotki. And I wanna get Halley's Curls. Which did you like best? Relaxed Texture or Gentle Wave? And what BSS brand do you recommend? I've never had a weave before (never even had my hair braided) so before I splure out $150 for Halley's, I wanna know if I like weaves first. I was thinking Saga or Sensationel
