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

[acapnleo]

Did a strange style today. I had two braids and put them on the foam curl rods and slept on it. This morning, I took it down, but my roots are straighter than the rest, so I used my "OLD SCHOOL" waver... and waved up the hair that was straight.... I didn't wave my whole head, just about a block of hair for each section for uniformity, while the bottoms were the curly braid out look really strange, but, i liked it. My style has fallen alot... but I guess its still considered hiding

Oh and I purchased a big thing of AUSSIE SMOOTH and have been using that as a moisturizer....

ladies i found split ends and my hair is breaking in the front. like some of it is only a couple inches and i don't know why. and my hair keeps drying out and baggying leaves it to wet.

catrina8211 you hair looks great. Is this a sew in and if so what kind of hair is it? How much of your hair is left out? As other's mentioned, it looks so natural!

I put braids in...but my computer was wiped and I am having some trouble restoring all my files using time machine.

I did my hair in tiny single braids last night and they look like I've had them in for like 2 weeks! The roots are so fuzzy! I'm taking them out later tonight

Just poppin' in to say that I my crochet braids. I have had them in for 17 days thus far. Only 73 days more to go

Forever in Bloom- I loved crochet braids when I had them too But you are a soldier for keeping an install for 3 months...I only made it 5 or 6 weeks

@ LilMissSunshine5

I kept them in for 3 weeks this time last year, but I hated the style of the crochet braids. Before I got them I had had a weave in for 3 months (and one before that for 2 months), so I didn't really think I was ready to go back into hiding.

Three months seems to be the magic number for me. My hair doesn't loc easily; (this I found out when I had yarn braids in my first year of being natural) the shed hairs simply fall out, but I still take my time in detangling prior to letting any water touch my hair. I would never go longer - that would be hair suicide

Wish me luck!

Thanks!! It is a sew in. I braided my hair down into a u shape (very small). A net was sewn over that, and then the tracks. It is Outre Velvet, straight. I have #4 on the bottom and #1b and 2 mixed on top.

I try to do what I can! Thank you!

hey ladies.. still hiding under my half wig tammy. i loved her so much, i got a new one. i kept the other one for two weeks and it started to act real synthethic. i figure i will rotate to a new one every two weeks for the rest of the month.

i am sooo hoping to make APL by the end of this challenge.

Hi Ladies!

I am still hiding my hair. This week it's under my new LF Sensationall Jasmine.
She is so long, waist length at the longest point (shaped like a V in the back).

I love her because it's giving me practice for what my own hair will be like when I get to WL which is my ultimate goal. :crossfingers:
I know my co-workers think I'm crazy because everytime my style changes it keeps getting longer and longer.

Sunday I took out my braids, pre-pooed with my blend of oils, washed my hair with Giovanni organic something or another (I won't use this again because it felt like it stripped my hair and made it feel hard), then followed up with a 6 hour DC.

I did a light flatiron on my hair to make it easier to braid and I think I'm at a little past shoulder length!!!!

I'm so happy because now I can see for sure that all the work I'm putting in is really paying off!!!

Hello!

is it too late to join this challenge? I've been hiding my hair in braids for awhile and I wanted to try to stretch this relaxer out a little more...

 

[ms.tatiana]

Nothing new over here ...

I'm still in my weave, I was thinking about getting the Yasmine half wig, because I just like the way it looks. I'll probably only going to keep this weave in for 4 weeks, I love it, but I want a new look, PLUS I want to try a deep condition with my new hair dryer !

Um ms.tatiana why on earth are you waiting to try out Yasmine? did you not see Ateya's tutorial on how to do a wig over a weave

 

[AlliCat]

Still hiding my hair with braid-out buns <3 I actually really like putting my hair up lately. The key is that the bun has to be textured and fluffy

 

[ms.tatiana]

AlliCat

Hahahahahaha

I wouldn't suggest that hair style to anyone!

 

[divachyk]

Just saying HELLO to all. It's been a minute.

Welcome to the challenge!

 

[acapnleo]

I need to relax, but I don't feel like it and furthermore, I am trying to stretch til June... not sure I will make it, the newgrowth is becoming more difficult. I am not sure where the difficulty is coming from, but I noticed it yesterday and today...

 

[LilMissSunshine5]

^^^Difficult hair is the in thing right now...didn't you know? But seriously, hang in there! Do what you need to do, maybe a stretch isn't in the cards for you right now...ain't no shame in that Just letting you know you are not alone in feeling this way! I don't feel like fighting with my hair right now Hence the micros

 

[Lanea87]

I just cowashed my hair using HE LTR, doing good!
I wanna do something to my hair but IDK, imma see if my mom wanna put some curlformers in my hair this weekend..... after doing a henna!

 

[divachyk]

hey ladies, that is all!

 

[DDTexlaxed]

I'm really late, but I'm doing this from now on. My hair is not safe in a wash n go. I am so over being super focused on parting my twists. I am now using the finger method. I am going to start focusing on protective styles from now on. My hair is really starting to grow now, even though shrinkage makes it impossible to tell.

 

[ms.tatiana]

Finally... my weave as been up from 3/11 until 4/8 : Its time to come down

I believe I will be using my clarifying shampoo, for the first time tonight once I take everything down and I have the mane n tail detangler thanks to AlliCat so this should be a smooth process. I'll deep condition tomorrow with my dryer , then get my hair braided and see how my new Yasmine half wig works out.

Be back in a feww days to post pictures......
