2011 Hide Your Hair Challenge! (Jan 1st - June 30th)

[Ijanei]

Ms_CoCo37 Yes I am doll. I might as well cut them off when summer is over.

Im trying to get my hair to grow up like yours! I know the cut you had, will make your hair even stronger, your hair grows too damn fast anyway lol (yes I'm hatin')

 

[Lanea87]

DCing my hair with a mixture of some leftover DC that I had in the frig, Giovanni Smooth as Silk Deeper Moisture Conditioner, Giovanni 50:50 Balanced Conditioner, ION Reconstructor Treatment, and a squirt of EVOO and Safflower Oil.

I also need to find something to do to my hair it will either be in a wig or in some cornrows.....THINKING!!!!

 

[Drtondalia]

It's nothing like cracking open a new half wig to get your day started off right!

That was me this morning. I was in my LaFasta all week but it was on its third week and you know how synthetic hair is, it was getting all mattted on the ends in some spots. I was cool with the look all week cause it was raining anyway. But last night I had to attend a friends Birthday Party and I didn't want to go looking whack . Plus she's a hair dresser and she would have been looking at me like .
The name of my new half wig is Mint Slice; a cocktail wig and after brushing it out I love love love her.


I will post pics later.

Started taking two Nixon pills a day, hopefully I'm closer to BSL by the end of this challenge.

I don't feel like straightening my hair for the length check. Is it alright to straighten part of my hair for the reveal?

You can do it however you want. I just pulled a piece and snapped a photo for the APL challenge. I've seen other ppl do it that way. I don't plan on straightening just to see how long it is. I don't want to wear it straight plus it's about to be June.

 

[Msbeasley07]

I am in on this challenge! I have been wearing a wig since April 7th! I have a total of 3 wigs to date!!! They are awesome! This is the best protective style for me. This keeps my ends in such a healthy state!

I have some projects at work that I’ll be jumping in and won’t be taking my daily lchf breaks as before.

So I’m putting myself on a LHCF updating treads regimen. Unless I have any major setbacks and need you’ll help I will limit my updates to every other month. I am keeping a daily journal on what I’m doing to my hair so I’ll update if anyone is interested on those dates.

I will also only do length checks right before giving my updates. I have to put down that measuring tape and try not to focus on my length.

This is a challenge to me because I LOVE reading the treads and seeing how well you ladies are progressing. So I’ll just be and just know I’m wishing each of you all the best on your HHJ.

I will cotinue hiding and will in to sign up for the next leg of this challenge.

Peace!!

I flat ironed my hair yesterday and OMG my hair looks and feels so healthy. It has grown out from the cut (so called trim-yes i have pics) the stylist gave me in March. I am sooo loving this. I just hope this growth continues.

 

[AlliCat]

Hey ladies. Hope everyone's having a good week so far.

I've decided to hide my hair in cornrows until MBL. I'm about 2 inches away so I should be there by fall. I'm excited wait...so this means wigging it all summer

 

[Meritamen]

Totally forgot that I had joined this challenge. I have worn my hair out a few times so I have used up my three passes which is fine because I don't plan to have my hair out much this summer.
I have been keeping my hair in cornrows and wearing a wig when I go out. I attempted other styles but they all were a big fat fail so I'm sticking to what I know for the moment. Made SL back in April and started taking my multivitamins again this week so it will be interesting to see where my hair is at on the reveal day at the end of June.

HHJ ladies!

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Sporting a pony today. I'm seriously contemplating braids so I won't have to put my hands in my head and keep those ends hidden. The only problem is the only person that I will let braid my hair has moved two hours away. :-(

 

[danigurl18]

I plan to a nice bun after I cowash this morning

 

[AlliCat]

Loving the ease of getting ready in the morning...just wake up, shower, get ready and throw on a halfwig. *sigh* I could get used to this

[ms.tatiana]

At all

I have the Yasmine half wig and she gets really tangled but do ya'll suggest I use on her to keep her calm and not all nappy.

 

[JJamiah]

Hello Ladies,

I am wearing my Buns Half Wigs and missing the heck out of my Lace Fronts.

I am not in the mood lately to do anything to my hair really. I guess I will wear more of my wigs during the cooler weather, rock my half wigs during this hot weather and my hair the first 2-3 months of my relaxer in roller sets.

I have found my moisture friend, I am going to Henna every other month, every month is too stressful for me and my hair LOL. I love the time but hate the getting my hair back to normal stage. They gray is a beast though LOL.

Next Henna is in June; I will be using my Lush for the first time as I have been using the powder and my Lush has just been sitting watching me and waiting for it's turn.

 

[ojemba]

I had to stop in to thank divachyk for the bun inspiration and techniques. I'm sporting a juicy bun today!! Thanks again.

 

[chasturner84]

I repurchased 2 synthetic halfwigs...Outre Vera (for work) and Sensationnel 7047 (for going out). I was trying not to purchase any new halfwigs but I figure if it helps reach my hair goals, it's worth it and it will pay off in the end

chasturner84 Chaaaaaast, hey girlie....you made it to 23 weeks post, congrats on that, what is the plan? are transitioning as well? Also when it is reveal time, make sure you do a comparison "pony" shot! love those, so please dont forget that one!

Okay still keeping the heat away from my hair. Going to do an oil rinse tonight and do some flat twist outs; I love the way they curl up.

 

[ms.tatiana]

Week 2 of my weave...

I have oiled my hair with hot 6 oil, & I keep my edges oiled (twice a day) with dr.miracles nape & temple and JBCO.

No other new developments yet other than I thinking of getting my hair colored for the summer. Maybe just a ruby red or light brown rinse in the front.

I am itching to show my progress, but I will be patiently waiting until June 30th

I'm starting a new job this week, so hopefully I will be too busy to stare at the calendar on my wall.

No, I'm not transitioning although I get asked that constantly IRL. I just wanted to see if I could not only stretch my relaxers but also eliminate my heat usage for 6 months. The process hasn't been too incredibly painful so I guess I will continue 6 month stretches until I do decide to transition to natural (whenever that may be ).

[FONT=&quot]Oh, and I will do my best to remember the pony shot just for you! [/FONT][/FONT]

The bold font was so funny to me I have a calendar at my desk that I use to cross off each day in red ink. The reveal date is circled and has smiley face stickers all around it

Congrats on the new job

Thanks! I'm excited to start.

That's funny that you're X'ing the days off until the end of June. Feels like Santa Claus is coming huh? I'm going to need him to to slide down that chimney a little faster so I can get to revealing

 

[Tchanelle]

I know I haven't checked in forever but this semester was kicking my butt with all those classes. That being said, here is my current protective style. It's a half wig and it has saved me so much time in the mornings I plan on a purchasing another one soon, never know when things are gonna go out of stock......don't judge me me! In this economy everybody needs a backup & this is mine!.......

 

[chasturner84]
