What bootleg things do you do to your hair?

[halee_J]

Duchesse, that is not bootleg. That is pure genius. It looks really good! have some remi tracks and a beanie hat...

Oh as for my own bootleg, I have DC'ed with a grocery bag, under a wig, went to work Best DC ever.

Isn't it!!! The whole winter of my last year of college involved me rinsing my hair, throwing in some DC, adding a plastic bag, putting on a wig, and going to class praying that sumbish didn't slip off my head

BOOM....me DCing.

My confession:

I would use BlackCherry or Regular Cherry KoolAid as a rinse on my hair.....yeah you read that right. The sad part about it is that all of cousins did the same thing.....you couldn't tell us nothing

My cousin did that once and supposedly it burned. How did you do that and did it work?

Girl you look good! I love it! I don't do it very often, I'm a little afraid it's gonna come off, or people will just "know". One time, I had to adjust my wig, I did it quickly at my desk 'cause I thought no-one was looking....the plastic bag was rustling.

A co-worker near me was like..."what's that noise? Somebody opening a bag or something?"

Me: "What noise? *shrug* beats me..." Inside I am

Am I the only one who stays doing bootleg things, that no one else will ever notice?

For example, right now I have my hair in cornrows with a stocking cap on. I have 3 pieces of tracks that I cut, that are pinned using multicolored clips to my bang area to make it look like a symmetrical cut. It looks crazy, but once I put on my hat, I look pretty cute, like I have short cut underneath.

...Now if somehow my hat blew off, oooh lawd, I would be running for cover.

Does anyone else do really bootleg things that if they were revealed would be embarrassing?

omg i do the same thing!! Lord help me if that hat blows off!!

 

[mzsophisticated26]

I dc with target and walmart bags and most of the I rinse and reuse my conditioning caps after I dc...lol.
I always wear my hair in a bun and throw my halfwig on top no leave out with a headband and use my headband to hold it down with no bobby pins.

 

[ashleymichelle1]

Omg ! This thread is too funny... i don't think I have any stories that can top ya'lls.

 

[DarkHair]

I also DC with grocery bags or saran wrap (I don't use it for anything else). DH looks at me funny, but loves running his fingers through my hair.

I'll put on a half-wig with out pulling the front hair out. I just slap on a headband where the faux hair shows and KIM.

Did y'all know that Subway gives out olive oil in packets now?

I have the same full 18'' track from two years ago. I keep the sewn in tied with a hairtie. I then attach it to my hair with another tie, and pin that thang down into a style. People think I took forever to do my hair.

ETA: If I ever have to make a trip to the grocery store or pharmacy this winter, trust I'll be DCing with a grocery bag while in the car.

Just remembered that when I was on campus last semester and needed honey for a dc and a facial (but was broke) I stole a bunch of packets from the tea station at 711. Stole some lemon juice packets for my face too.

I do that when I'm sick and need to make some sort of throat soothing concoctions.

In high school I bobby pinned tracks in my hair all the time. I wasn't trying to fool anybody.

 

[Mahalialee4]

i use small trash bags to DC, i should try FREE plastic bags from woodmans!!

I use the small glad kitchen catcher bags! The Best!!!

I do that all the time. i can never get my hair to blend right with the half wig so I slick my hair back in the front, put the wig on and hide the wig line with a cloth headband

I love it! I am so gonna rock that on a rainy day.

My bootleg things:

I don't have any silk pillow cases so I tie my silk scarf on to to the pillow

If I don't have time to cowash after exercising, I put conditioner on my hairline and wipe it off with a warm face cloth

 

[laurend]

I couldn't wash all the deep gook out of my hair after using a clarifying shampoo so I used JOY dishwashing soap. It striped that oil out of my hair and yes my hair was fine.

 

[nappystorm]

I stop washing out conditioner
I will rock a plastic cap if it's raining and I straightened my hair.
I get hard presses (with the stove, paper towel, Dax grease, and holding the ear) every now and then
