2012 HYH Challenge (Jan 1st - June 30th)

[Kerryann]

i bought a wig without combs and i really love the fact that i can twist it and turn it for a quick fix lmao its my first wig and im loving it

 

[KurlyNinja]

About to straighten my hair today since this is the only time I will have time. I'll be brining in the new year with a wig though, just like last year. I probably wont be showing in face shots though since I now have pink eye.

 

[JJamiah]

I ordered for the year of 2012 (my first hair piece purchase)

Evony, Tammy, Yasmine, Tisha and a Pony called Marimba Girl (She is a large Pony)

So I am going to rock these for the new year

[KurlyNinja]

Here is my starting pic. Aiming for BSL next year

 

[indarican]

so i bought yet another wig... this is number 4 in just the past 2 weeks ugh... the curly styles that i wanted didnt work if i want to leave all my hair in. so i folded and got a straight style. Im done buying wigs until at least march so this one better hold up.

 

[SherylsTresses]

I've been keeping my hair in the four twists, pinned along the sides. The four twists are working for me especially for cowashing, moisturizing and scarf method. Wigs still fit perfectly.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

indarican, I opted not to remove the combs in my half wig and I haven't experienced any problems. BTW, I like your latest purchase!

thanks!!!
I think im going to leave the combs in with this one.

 

[indarican]

good morning all, i got on my first full wig and I really like it I keep looking in the mirror making sure everything is still in place. i think im just going to keep on buying this one over and over until june when we reveal and then i may buy a slightly longer one

 

[winona]

I braided up my hair for the new year. I used 9 spring twist each divided into 3 so the style would last longer and my hair would appear thicker.

Does anyone know how to resize photos from your phone?

[indarican]

So i did an impromtu length check yesterday and I really think my hair grew like an inch, but i dont want to jinx it especially since i only checked one spot. still hidiing under the wig and loving the hotness!!

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

hotmess44, your name has been added to the list.

Speaking of the Participant List, I had to continue it in post #3 because I exceeded the characters in the first post. Wow...

indarican, that looks really good on you! So natural.

winona, you did a really good job! Maybe I need to consider adding hair to my braids and twists so they would last longer. Because my hair gets fuzzy after a couple of days.erplexed

 

[NikkiQ]

After an encounter with a SHS yesterday taking me from CBL to NL, I ordered 5 more wigs. I'm not wearing my hair out at all next year. I need to make up for what progress I lost.

 

[Evolving78]

i want in! i will use my pass for Valentine's Day and my Birthday in April.
i will be using the bunning method.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

shortdub78, your name has been added to the list.

NikkiQ, Oh no! What happened???!!!

 

[NikkiQ]

Went in for a little trim and flat iron and it turned into 3" being cut off b/c my ends were in "horrible condition".

 

[JJamiah]

@NikkiQ

End of the year not good for some of us gals so sorry!

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

NikkiQ, booo for that! The same thing happened to me earlier this year when I went to the dominican salon for DD's graduation. The stylist said I needed a trim, but I caught a glimpse of her "trimming" the length of my index finger. She gave me layers when I didn't ask for them.

At that time, I had a "I don't care any more" attitude about my hair. (JJamiah can tell you about my stank attitude towards my hair ). That little misshap sent me back to above BSL. But fortunately, I snapped out of my little funk (only recently), and I'm back on track.

You've done so well in the past, I have no doubt that you can still make your goal of APL by the end of 2012. I'm hoping for a nice full WL by then.

 

[ojemba]

NikkiQ Sorry to hear about your setback. It's truely heartbreaking when you loose the progress that you've worked so hard to get and retain.

What do you think caused your ends to be this way? So you know what to do to prevent this happening again in the future.

[NikkiQ]

I'm not entirely sure ojemba. Maybe it's b/c I hadn't had a real trim in years. I mean I BC'd in Febuary and have been doing dustings here and there, but not a good trim.

 

[charmtreese]

I purchased two new Afro puffs, my last one was getting really ratty looking. I will post pic's later.

 

[Curly Lee]

I want to join. This will be hardddd for me. I hate protective styles, but I want to baby my ends. I'll be using twists, I might consider Senegalese twists if i can't take my three strands. I

Starting pictures from today:

I'll probably add a naked hair pic before new years when I wash my hair. I'm super excited for my challenges this year.

 

[lilyofthenile]

I don't wear my hair out a lot at all so this should be simple!

NikkiQ - awww I still believe you'll reach your goals though. Let's get growing/retaining!

 

[MrsIQ]

Here's my starting pic. Notice the breakage right in the center of the "V"



My hair is very fine/low density. I'm hoping to recover from breakage I got because I wouldn't move my bun around

I will experiment with french braids updos and buns, in different positions of course.

 

[Aggie]

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