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

[Ms_CoCo37]

Ladies, it’s time for Part II of this challenge! We will be using the same rules as the previous challenges.








RULES:

• Hide the length of your hair by wearing it in protective styles. That can be wigs, weaves, buns, braids, twists, etc.
• You can take picture updates, but do not allow them to be publicly seen.
• You are allowed 3 free passes to wear your hair out. That's basically a pass every two months.
• Post your starting picture in the Starting Pictures Thread:
  
  ***SEE BELOW FOR THE START PIX THREAD***
• Check in as needed. If you are struggling to find styles or losing motivation, check in so we can support each other.
• Last but not least.....ENJOY THE LENGTH YOU RETAIN ONCE THE CHALLENGE IS OVER!!!

This challenge will officially begin on January 1st and we will reveal on June 30th.

In lieu of me listing all of the names as people join the challenge, you can just put a “Thanks” under this post. That way the list will remain current. (Thanks again for the suggestion ShyIntellect!)

As stated before, I will post a separate thread for our starting pix along with several reference threads (see below).

HHJ Ladies!

 

[NikkiQ]

[Ms_CoCo37]

LOL! Somehow, I knew you would be first.

 

[KurlyNinja]

I want in this! I PS 99.99% of the time anyway. I'm half-wiggin it for winter. I'll be bunning again when it warms up.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Welcome aboard. Just add your name to the list by clicking the thanks button in the first post. BTW, I'm loving your hair color!

 

[13StepsAhead]

I'm in I'm 100% natural and I'm starting fresh for the new year. I'm aiming for APL by July and PSing is going to get me there. I keep my wigs in the winter and hopefully I will have enough hair by the spring to make a decent sized bun.

Hey I am in~

 

[Ms_Twana]

I might as well. I hide and PS on a regular basis anyway!!

On another note, when did LHCF get apps???? Maybe I'll be able to check in more now. Lol.

 

[diadall]

I would love to join this but 6 months is a bit long for me. Maybe I will start a monthly challenge for us 'hide your hair' newbies.

What you all are doing is a great idea. I will be supporting you from the sidelines. I think I can do January with no problems but come legislative session time and I will have to wear my hair down a few times.

I was hoping you would join this one since you are my HYH inspiration.

now, what's this about LHCF having an app? Hmmm?

That's okay. You can jump in at any time, should your schedule let up.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Hey I am in~

I knew I'd see you too. I figured either you or NikkiQ would be the first to join.

Woo hoo! I'm always happy to see another natural join us. I can't wait to see your PSs. You may give me some good ideas.

 

[chasturner84]

first in line baby!!! lol

Of course you would be first! You're such a challenge junkie!!!

 

[NikkiQ]

^^LMAO! Chas this challenge is awesome though! I PS anyway and this helps me stay in line. Plus any excuse to buy new wigs and I'm all over it.

 

[diadall]

^what do you do with your old wigs? How long can you keep them? I have never worn one but this forum has me interested.

 

[chasturner84]

UGH! I want to wear wigs so bad as a PS but I can't find ANY that look similar to my real hair.

 

[NikkiQ]

^what do you do with your old wigs? How long can you keep them? I have never worn one but this forum has me interested.

Most of my wigs are synthetic but I wear them for minimum of 3 months. I wash them once a month or when needed and let them air dry. A little flat ironing on the heat resistant ones and they're good to go.

 

[NikkiQ]

I'd like to take on the challenge of finding a wig that looks like your real hair lol. Between me and JJamiah, one of us can most def find you one girl

 

[JJamiah]

I knew I'd see you too. I figured either you or NikkiQ would be the first to join.

LOL, I don't come on as much as I use too, so I had a slight Delay LOL

 

[CherryCherryBoomBoom]

Great idea . I PS nearly all the time anyway, especially with my transitioning, so this would be a good challenge for me.

 

[Janet']

Dang!!! I'm late! But, you know I'M IN!!!!!

 

[RegaLady]

I am in! I have been doing this anyway. This will help me stay consistent.

 

[JJamiah]

I wash my wigs once every 2/3 weeks, Most of my wigs/Lace Fronts are Human Hair. I have a nice little collection LOL.

When you pick out your wigs, what style you normally wear would help to decide on what your going to be more comfortable with at first before you put your whole body into the water. I started off with A black bob. Then to a curly black doobie look, then I got a bob with lighter colors, then I went buck wild and started buying human hair wigs. I love them and my hair is no longer a chore

 

[JJamiah]
