Ms_CoCo37 · #1 12-01-2011, 12:33 PM

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

RULES:

Hide hair length with PSs (i.e. wigs, weaves, buns, braids, twists, etc).
You can take pic updates, but do not allow them to be publicly seen (exceptions - posting starting pix for other challenges).
You are allowed 4 free passes to wear your hair out. These can be used for other challenges.
Post your starting pix in the Starting Pix Thread: *Click Here*
Check in as needed. If you are struggling to find styles or losing motivation, check in so we can support each other.
ENJOY THE LENGTH YOU RETAIN ONCE THE CHALLENGE IS OVER!!!

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

Participants, "Thank" this post & I will add your name to the list. If you don't see your name on the list, send me a PM & I will add you.

As in previous challenges, I will post a separate thread for our starting pix along with several reference threads (see below). Please note that I will not create the starting pix thread until we reveal at the end of the month.

Reference Threads:

(These are the threads that started it all for me)

No I am not, I don't like to really wear my hair out. So hopefully the CurlFormers will change my mind. LOL, plus I relaxed in July! Haven't worn my hair out after that at all, April was the first one, NOw I had to rock that hair for a week LOL, it was so beautiful I couldn't resist.

This year I am NOT getting my hair CUT.

2 trims and 2 dustings.

JJamiah · #8 12-01-2011, 01:14 PM

I don't care if one strand is too my toes and half is to my waist and the other half is whip. I am not, going to cut, TRIM trim TRIM TRIM TRIM.

I could join but I am going to get my relaxer in April. Hmmmmmmmmm!

Come to think of it I probably wore it out for the first and last time (in April) Yikes LOL

I will try to set my hair this year, and just keep wigging it. I don't see an end to my wiggings LOL

JJamiah · #13 12-01-2011, 01:25 PM

@Golden75 how long do you leave your braids up? if you don't' mind me asking

Ms_CoCo37 · #14 12-01-2011, 01:31 PM

@JJamiah! YAY!

It's a crying shame that I had to bully you into it.

Who else would keep me accountable?

Golden75 · #15 12-01-2011, 01:34 PM

@JJamiah - of course I don't mind a question from a hair She-ro as yourself!

Ummm, as long as I can! I just started back at extention hair, and started self installing. The first 2x I think was about 4 or 5 weeks, but I made them too big. So I am hoping I can get a good 8-10 weeks.

JJamiah · #16 12-01-2011, 01:35 PM

LOL you so sillly. I am definitely hiding. I am exercising and trust I look like Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear afterwards LOL

GaiasDaughter24 · #17 12-01-2011, 01:35 PM

I'm in. Hoping for BSL next year.

@Golden75 Awww Thank U so much.

My problem is working out and my hair getting wet when in braids it mats up seriously. I lose alot of hair at my nape and edges because of the sweat build up. I would love to leave them in 26 weeks

honestly I would but we all know that isn't happening.

I think bigger for me or do you think smaller sections. I just hate the matting. I figured 3 weeks and I lost less hair. Grrrrrr decisions decisions LOL

NewHairWOWeave · #19 12-01-2011, 01:43 PM

IM in for this challenge I have already decided my weaves of choice.
1. Wavy & Long
2.Straight & Long
3. Curly & Long

DID I MENTION LONG (16''-20'')

Golden75 · #20 12-01-2011, 01:49 PM

@JJamiah - I BC'd in July or August so I am at about 3-5" in different sections. I was so worried about the "pencil size rule" that I made them too big, mainly in the back, and then I cut the ends so some unravaled, so for me smaller will probably work but, but I'm adding hair.

If I was at your length, I probably would not use added hair. So I would go bigger, and then, if you must you can undo a section to cleanse if needbe with out to much work in re-doing, every 2-3 weeks.
