Okay ladies, I promised to come back with pics of my new weave (Janet Collection Afro Jerry - 14") and here it is:

Very lovely. It looks natural.

 

[Sugadoll]

I'm in for the hide your hair challenge.
I have a box of alter egos(wigs) enough for the year.
I'm ready.

@KumakoXsd, your name has been added to the list.

@garciagirl, glad you're joining us! Just go back to the first or third post and click the thank button and your name will be added to the official participant list. I can't wait to see your wig selection. Sounds like you'll be one of the wig gurus like @JJamiah and @NikkiQ.

 

[JJamiah]

Hello @Ms Coco37 I am rocking Tisha right now and feeling it for sure.

I can't wait to see how my first four months go
I just know that I am so glad I went back to half wigs, which I didn't want to have any of my hair out but I learned it's okay to have some out. I won't commit a real sin by doing so. LOL

 

[NikkiQ]

I told DH today that I hope he enjoyed this flat ironed hair b/c it won't be flat ironed again for a VERY long time. I'll be rocking wigs and ponytails til the cows come home to get my 3" back...that *****!

 

[KaramelDiva1978]

I am 19 months natural and a little past shoulder length. I need this motivation and discipline. Lately, I have been taking good care of my hair via twists and twistouts, but I will will be 2 years natural next month and two years since my BC in May 2012. I would love to be APL by the end of the 6 months. Keep me grounded ladies!! I'll be in twists, buns, and wigs for protective styling. Thanks for the motivation and encouragement ladies. I'll be posting pics soon!

 

[Giggletush]

I already planned to hide my hair for the majority of the time in 2012, so this challenge is perfect for me. I plan on twisting, I'm also gonna make a wig with bangs, and scarving/turban-ing it for the majority of the time. Since I'm back in school full time and not worried about corporate, I figure I can do damn well whatever I please

So I've been in my cornrows since Friday. I'm going to be cornrowing under my wigs. I just want to get a bit better technique.

 

[bajandoc86]

I about to hit paynuh on the LaJay wig all these naturals on youtube are going on about. Dear lawwdd.....please let me not look ridiculous. I have NEVER worn a wig in my life.

bajandoc86 you have nothing to worry about. A wig is an accessory. Work with it til it looks the way you want. Use accessories, bobby pins, or even trim it down if you want. I have Drew by Beshe and she's rather large but I LOVE her!! Just gotta play around with it.

my Remy wig arrives tomorrow and my others on Thursday. SO excited!!

 

[YoursTrulyRE]

I've been mia because of school but now that finals are over and the holidays are almost over I'm checking in and gearing up for the challenge!

I had kinky twist in for 6 weeks and now I'm 5 weeks in with these tree braids. Out of the two I am definitely enjoying the tree braids the most. Head is not heavy and it will definitely take less time to take these down since they are just cornrows.

I will be taking them down this weekend and getting my hair straightened and trimmed (if it needs it). I will be back this weekend to upload my official starting pic.

 

[Iluvsmuhgrass]

I'm in.

I have a few wigs and phony ponies in the closet. I really need to pick up some more short wigs for spring and summer. I'd also like to get some braiding hair so I can rock some homemade buns.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

MochaBella and SouthernStunner, your names have been added to the list.

YoursTrulyRE, are you letting Valencia straighten you? I'm glad you like the tree braids. I couldn't stand them. I don't like not having full access to my scalp, plus the hair kept getting tangled.

 

[skyslady]

Im so excited about this challenge, I just bought my first wig. Its a half wig but it looks and feels great. I cant wait . Just a few more days to go!

 

[jhcprincess]

This will Go nicely with crown and glory... I'm in!

 

[UGQueen]

I'm in !

I will mostly be weaving maybe a half wig in between.

 

[danigurl18]

I got a haircut yesterday so i definately will be posting a new starting pic

Ms_CoCo37 ...I wanted to go to her but I couldn't find the time before the holidays and now can't get an appt. So I may go to the Dominican Salon down here in Florida.

 

[divachyk]

[JJamiah]

I am doing good leaving my hair alone, tempted to touch but won't until tomorrow or Thursday

Then I have a full hair day and back up under Tisha. Me and her have become fast friends

 

[indarican]

JJamiah, you look cute in all of your wigs. I'm feeling Tisha.

[ms.tatiana]

My weave is in and i had to leave a little out in the front and on the sides, still trying to rub my edges every night

 

[indarican]

Hey all here are my start up pics... Sorry if there huge

 

[DDTexlaxed]

My pics are my avatar and siggie pic. This is the first time I tried doing mini flat twists. I'm not sure if I like them.

 

[Avaya]

Ms_CoCo37 In the "Starting Pic" thread, will we have to post a pic of loose hair or can our hair be twisted/braided up? Does the hair have to be dry, wet, or does it not matter? Thanks!
