I may or may not join this challenge. I have to find some wigs I like first. I found a really cute short wine colored wig but it's a cosplay wig so I'm afraid it wouldn't look natural plus I think it might not fit bc it's coming from china and not everything I've got from china via ebay is good quality. I want to experiment with color and length. I' also trying to grow my hair 3-4 more inches and get to an even length.

Moisturizing my cornrows and oiling my edges! I hate when a strand gets caught on a hair clip that you use to detangle and separate! I snap the strand off and feel so bald and defeated! Yeah, I'm dramatic! Lol

1.How long do you plan on wigging it (3months, the entire year, between other protective styles, etc.):
Mainly the entire year but I'll probably occasionally do other protective styles.

2.Purpose of joining challenge (protective styling, low manipulation, hair retention, etc.):
I need to see if this is the key to retaining length for me. I didn't PS much all this year and I didn't retain any length either. Could be because of the color, lack of PS, or both.

3.Whether you are: natural, relaxed [texlaxed, bonelaxed, texturized, etc.], transitioning:
natural

4.Current hair length:
WL. Will update with pic in the next few days

5.Styling choice of hidden hair (ie. Beehive, plaits, cornrows, etc.)
I just put my hair in a bun or 1 braid

Happy New year ladies!! I just got my wig delivered today from California lace wigs. Feels great. I will show a proper pic when I cut the lace. Cost me a pretty penny...

I would like to join. Just was thinking about what in the world I was going to do to my hair in the growth out phase of a short cut. I made a deal with myself that I was not going to shell out a arm and a leg this year with weaves and only to be disappointed with it. Its got some length to it but its just not where I want to be. So my plan is between braided hairstyles I will be wigging it.

1.How long do you plan on wigging it (3months, the entire year, between other protective styles, etc.): my plan is between braided hairstyles I will be wigging it. I'm not going to wear my hair out until I get to where I want it to be and hopefully it will be by August my birthday.

2.Purpose of joining challenge (protective styling, low manipulation, hair retention, etc.): I need hair retention and protection from styling. And also this will keep me on track.

3.Whether you are: natural, relaxed [texlaxed, bonelaxed, texturized, etc.], transitioning: I'm natural for about a year.

4.Current hair length: Its uneven all over so can't tell what the actual length is.

5.Styling choice of hidden hair (ie. Beehive, plaits, cornrows, etc.):: If I'm going to get a full wig it would be cornrows. I need to really learn to either do something to it underneath. I know its bad but I just moisturize it and then slap on the half wig.

6.Photo of your starting point (if you have hair growth goals, and/or just want to share): I will have to update later.

7.Photo of any wigs you are currently wearing and/or hope to wear: I will have to update later.

I finally stitched some elastic into one of my wigs so I can wear it without hair pins. I was so excited I wore it arounf the house yesterday. It is comfortable. I am truly late with this one. I feel so much better knowing that I won't have that metal rubbing on my scalp.

How long does a synthetic wig last for?
