[JJamiah]

umm...ok I guess

it was a joke Nikki


Skysmom it is a hot wig, I bought three a few weeks ago and I have it on today she is a cutie

not to mention my friend is buying one for his girlfriend LoL; he is totally in love with this wig, and he is like I can't believe I am all excited over this wig LOLOLOL!

(bats her eyes)

Whatcha Got?

lol. I have 2 wigs handmade from China/Korea so they don't have style names or brands. One is dark brown (#2) with bangs, curls/waves layered down to about WL (synthetic). The other is light brown (#4, my natural color), with layered bangs, waves, made of 80% synthetic n 20% remy hair...hits about TBL on me, and I LOVE it.

The others are: (all synthetic)

-Rudy by Sistertress in a #4/27 (light brwn, light blonde highlights) layered BSL (full wig)

-MYA by It's a Wig in DW3147 (honey blonde, auburn, light blonde) curly bob (half wig)

-MAYA by It's a Wig in DW3147 (same color above) bangs, waves/spiral curls SL (full wig)

-Elise LF by FreeTress in #1 (jet black) slanted bob NL

-Spanish Full lace wig (FLW) by FEMI in #4/27/30 (l.brwn, blonde/auburn highlights) Spanish wavy/curly BSL (SEE AVATAR ABOVE--that's Spanish)!

-No Name by Born Free in #1 (jet black) with elastic headband front, Cuban curly texture, layered BSL

-Tyra by FreeTress in #1, layered like Rudy but with shorter bangs that sweep to the side...heavily layered with flips, BSL

-Forgot Name (had over 4 years) by Max #2/30 (dark brown auburn)...I cut it into a layered NL bob with bangs...it originally looked like a style you'd see on a pretty baby doll...bangs were longer, and it fell into barrel curls abt BSL length.

And that's it...for now! I really doubt I can stand to wait 'til next fall to buy anymore, but that's the wig diet I put myself on! I have been scoping out others but I'm waiting... I've had Rudy, Tyra, and the last wig listed for over 5 years...they still look WONDERFUL, no tangles or matting. I tell ya I take CARE of my wigs...they are immaculate, as I consider them investments! lol

ETA: Sorry, wish I had pics of every one of em...I will work on that! I have pics of Rudy, Elise, MYA, and Spanish in my Fotki albums...which can be found at: Public Home | JewellJ | Fotki.com, photo and video sharing made easy.

Hide ya kids, hide ya wife, and hide your hair too!!!

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

I just want ya'll to know that I can't stand you hiders lol

 

[Janet']

^^^Aww, LaFemme, don't be like that, lol!!!

 

[tapioca_pudding]

I think as long as you're not showing your true length then you should be kosher using flexi rods and curlformers.

Thanks!

My styles will be flexis, curlformers and my upa clip. Will attempt braidouts/twist outs but I've not mastered them yet.

 

[JJamiah]

First off Whew YOU and your hair are beautiful (your natural hair) Beautiful.

Now I like your collection you have going on. I have Elise myself she was my first (she broke my LF virginity)

I love your wavy natural hair it is so adorable. the first pic I saw. LOL

I love the Maya's I have been keeping my eye on them for a minute. I'd love to see the handmade ones as well. don't feel guilty, I have been using my cell phone camera for so long, I don't even know where my real camera is

I need to go on a diet, I just come up with another excuse on why I need a new wig/LF. I am getting my summer collection together. Starting school so I said let me get my new school collection, Bday and Holiday coming so I said let me get myself a treat Yeah, I have issues

[3jsmom]

I am game!!! I'll just continue on from the current challenge!

 

[boundlessbeauty]

Count me in please!!!

 

[MzOptimistic]

I have not been on in a loonnnngggg time but I need to grow my hair back to MBL. I went to the Dominican's and got a blow out and they broke my hair off, so now I'm back to being a little past APL Anywho. I"m Innnnn

 

[Firstborn2]

I'm back in, I fell off the current challenge. I got discouraged and gave up! I took some time to regroup and now Im back in. I finally figured out my issue, it was lack of protein. I'm determined to make it past APL.

 

[halee_J]

Count me in please I need to stay motivated; APL 2011

you and your hair (and your wigs) are gorgeous

 

[bibirockz]

^^Yeah absolutely. It's open to anyone that would like to join

Thanks girl

I would like to join, I'll be weaving wigging and braiding my hair for awhile.

 

[NikkiQ]

Just make sure you "Thank" the first post to be added to the challenge list

 

[s4pphir3]

I'm definitely joining this one

 

[cia_garces]

I think as long as you're not showing your true length then you should be kosher using flexi rods and curlformers.

I was wondering the same thing (if braidouts and such were considered hiding your hair). I saw the 2011 year long bunning challenge and immediately knew that was WAY too intense as a first challenge But this one, i think i can definitely do this one. I'M IN IN!!!

 

[Peace in Prose]

Plz count me in... I am currently in braids... I will post pics later...

[NikkiQ]

Our list just keeps on growing! I love it. Just thank the first thread ladies if you want to join!!!

Yay Firstborn is back!

I have not been on in a loonnnngggg time but I need to grow my hair back to MBL. I went to the Dominican's and got a blow out and they broke my hair off, so now I'm back to being a little past APL Anywho. I"m Innnnn

Tsmith, that's terrible! I remember all of that beautiful hair you had on your head. You'll get back there...especially with this challenge.

can we join even if we weren't on the part 1? I'm not sure.

Of course! Everyone is welcome to join this challenge. I won't be turning anyone away. We're all trying to get to a full healthy head of hair.

I'd like to join! Hopefully, I'll be full BSL by the end of the challenge. Also, just wondering...is this a six or seven month challenge? I want to do the reveal ASAP and I don't know if I can hold it in an extra month especially since I get out of school in May.

This is a six month challenge. After we do the reveal, we may extend it out for another six months (depending on how many takers there will be).

 

[NikkiQ]

^^^there will be takers and you know it!

 

[jerseygurl]

I straightened my hair on tuesday and realized that I'm just brushing BSL after chopping to APL from MBL in July. She's growing y'all!!!

I need a new style for Christmas and New year. I'm torn between crochet braids or regular individuals. My ends are very thin and I need to hide them away.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

I know of at least a couple.

Now that's what I call progress! At this rate, you'll be back to MBL in no time!

[boundlessbeauty]

[NikkiQ]

[JJamiah]

I hope to achieve my goal as well all 3 inches of it and trim it too. Under this lacefront LOL
