Can I join? I know I'm a bit late...
But I'm actually on my own personal challenge of No-heat until December and this will help!
My no-heat styles will involve airdrying and flexis, rollersets that are airdried overnight (for fancy occasions) and braid/twist outs. I know I'll see a massive improvement in overall health if I do this.
I'm following behind my hair idols - Isis and Dsylla!!! :yep:
 
I'm doing a wash and go (with oil rinsing and distilled water) every three days. To keep it fresh I apply conditioner and distilled water to the ends at night, cover it with a scarf, and rinse the ends in the morning.

I am using a pass today.

I am henna'ing and indigo'ing my hair. I am going to be using alot of indirect heat and maybe a little direct heat. I havent decided.

I am so excited to get that beautiful blue-black hair.

My process:
Apply henna paste
DC with heat for 2 hours
Apply indigo paste
Plastic cap and heat for 1 hour
Apply moisture, oil, leave-in, OCT
Style hair: I dont know whether to let rest or straighten.

Packing up the Pibbs is what started this challenge. Macherie packed it up and sent it to Philly while she travels over seas....

I used a pass today. I sat under a hooded dryer for my henna and indigo treatments. I have 2 more this summer. So you can use a pass whenever you're ready.

the style with the clip is sooooo cute..... how do you achieve it? do you just twist your hair up like a french roll?
 
I would love to join this too. I'm going for a relaxer in a couple of weeks though and will most likely get a blow out or maybe a roller set, but other than that, NO HEAT till August!!!
 
I'd like to join also... I'm 26 weeks post and the only time I plan to use heat is if I break down and get a relaxer before August.
 
I will join the challege. After my cut in December I have been struggling to gain significant length and I think I am going to wear a lacefront or braids for the summer until September 28 (my bday). Also after experiencing the weather today I doubt my hair could stand up to this humidity and heat no matter how great the serum/flat iron is.
 
No heat, OCT, and henna/indigo....

I wonder how my hair will fair at the end of Summer. I know my hair feels so incredibly soft right now I cant stand it. And its finally JET BLACK:grin:
 
How is everyone doing so far? Has anyone been tempted to use heat yet? I'm still doing fine. Probably the fact that I am still pretty much in a fresh relaxer makes things a little easier. Hopefully my newgrowth will behave when it gets thick. I baggied last night. It's been a long time since I have, but my ends came out like butter.

I'm sorry to hear that. Look at Isis and Dyslla. They are the no heat queens and they have some of the thickest hair on the board.
 
I'm still hanging in there. I thought about flat ironing my hair so that I could put some clip-in extensions in this weekend....and then I remembered this challenge. No biggie, I'm loving co-washing and WNGs.

I can see how being natural or texlax'd would make this challenge a breeze. Pretty WnGs everyday. No need for heat.:yep:
 
I want to join the challenge also. BGE is killing us with the electric bills, so that means no air-conditioning for a while

I was looking at the first post and I saw one of the models with a herringbone braid. I was wondering if anyone knows how to do that.

thanks.
