2011 Hide Your Hair Challenge Part 3 (July 1st - Dec. 31st)

Ladies, I just added the link to the starting pics thread. It's at the bottom of the very first post. Click on it and add your pic.:grin:
 
I'm in! I had planned on bunning all summer anyways. I'll probably get twist extensions for the fall. Definitely want to get my hair on track.
 
Count me in! Ive been gone for a while, back now. BC'd from bsl, wasn't for me, natural wasnt for me relaxed after 20 mos relaxer free (June 6th), currently almost APL ready to get my length back! Will post starting pics soon! I will just be twisting and clipping up. Good luck all :))
 
Holding my place in line until after I wash and air dry my hair tomorrow but in the mean time, i want to introduce myself. This is my very first post here on LHCF, thus this will be my first challenge. I have been lurking around since the beginning of this year and began my own HHC journey? I have learned soo much in the last six months and just now feel confident to hang out with you lovely ladies. With that said, it will be a great pleasure learning all about y'll healthy hair regimens and creating one of my own.
 
Kiwi74, welcome to the challenge! We're glad to have you.:grin:

Don't hesitate to ask any questions. We're all here to help and encourage one another.
 
I'm in after stalking the reveal thread!!!!

I guess I'll start tucking the ends of my twists away right now.
 
I'm in! I had already decided to bun until my BC on New Years Day anyway.

Reggie:
Wash and DC once per week
Cowash once a week
Baggy every night, bun every day.

Oh, and I'll be using phony buns mostly, sometimes phony ponies when I'm off from work. I will use one pass for my wedding on 8/25, still don't know what style it'll be yet.

You know what I'll be doing...

wigs
wigs
and more wigs

IF my hair gets long enough for me to bun, then I'll throw that into the mix along with the occasional braid/twist out.
 
Count me in! I'm getting a sew in this weekend.. I think I'll stick to sew in with buns in between installs..

I'm in!! yay!

I already posted my starting pic and necessary info in that thread.

But long story short, I keep it simple---I will braid, kinky twist, and micro sew in w/braids my way to December 2011.

And I've seen what your braiding has done to your hair. AWESOME results!!!
 
I just posted my starting pic in the other thread...which isnt much :lol:!!! BUT I am wigging it for now and as soon as I get a few inches I will get some braids....very excited about this challenge....

I have been a member for awhile but not active & I AM NEWLY NATURAL!!!!!!
 
I'm in for this round. I will post my results from the last challenge tonight after I finish flat ironing. Just from stretching my hair in the back I see great results.
 
Okay, got my sew in yesterday and I will be wearing it until the end of september. Then possibly getting another one until the end of December.
 
i kinda want to join this...

but i'm not sure! i've joined these before and i can never stay on it (as far as updating goes) because i get caught up in other things...even if i am hiding my hair consistently. lol
 
Starting this challenge off with twists. They've already been in for a week. Hopefully they'll last another week. After that the plan is a twistout for next weekend and then more twists. Although I may end up bunning. Not sure if I'll have time to do another set of twists.

I have a weave in and I already want to take it out my Auntie put it in and the tracks are falling apart and I just don't like the hair I got it on sale online and it's not really work as well as all the other hair I had of this kind.

I think I am going to get braids again, because in the summer with braids my hair usually has a good growth rate. I also wanna try wet bunning, so this summer my hair styles should be different.
 
Please count me in!! Since I'm in twist 90% of the time anyway , but this will keep me on it and less bored with my hair... I will be moist and baggying every other day with Yes to carrots and adding lavender jbco infused with cayenne and sulfur twice a week.. I will upload a pic in the starting pic thread 2morrow...
 
I'm in!!!

I'm in box braids with extensions right now. I got them the second week of June, and I'm about ready to take them out NOW!!! Just days before getting them I did my BC and had about 1-2.5 inches all over.

As soon as I take these braids out I'll be posting a starting pic, which hopefully won't be for about 2 weeks (if I can make it).

I plan on doing two strand twists, and potentially another box braid install later in the year.

What I'm really looking for with this Challenge is to keep my hair moisturized and strong!

HHG everyone!
 
I'm in and I will be hiding under half wigs or a scarf. I plan to do mid size box braid or "roll, tuck, pin" under wigs or scarf. Every now and again I will bun but with a band but will start to do it more often if I like the spin pin, I want to try bandless bunning. I plan to S&D in September and use only one pass for my Bday on the 18th that month.
 
I really want to join this challenge I had tried to do a one year challenge myself in Jan but I quickly fell flat on my arse after seeing a few inches of growth I was over excited and I wanted to wear my hair out at every stage.

Now I am at the point where I want to find regimen and stick with it even if my regimen changes up a bit I want to get the basics down. I feel the only way for me to do that is to go with what I know for now and add things along the way.

So I am a hair braider and I usually keep my hair in braids for 4-6 weeks then wear my hair out for 2-3 months at a time.



My hair plan for now is to:

Take down a section of hair for re-breading and clearifing before wash day

Wash and dc 1st thing Sunday mornings message scalp with sulfer 8 and bco

Find a style for the week and stick with it

Do the green house affect at least twice a week

Tie my hair up everynight

Please help me ladies to stay strong and see this through to the end thanks
