3 MONTH BAGGY CHALLENGE

[CurliDiva]

I have a slight problem.....sometimes my hair is too wet when I remove the baggy the next morning - I have the drippies I wear a wig, so I'm not worry about how it looks.

Is anynbody else's hair too wet the next morning.

 

[morehairplease]

I would like to join this challenge. I will baggy from July to September.

ladies...with braids that baggy...do u seal with oil? I have micros in now and I ask bcos i spray with surge/ aphogee green tea...followed by a moisturising tea tree braid spray by parnevu....some nights i follow with my mixture (scurl, NTM E.oils of rosemary,rose hip,emu and castor oil) instead to offset surge's drying effect?
But reading the last 3 or four posts in this thread got me thinking that maybe ive been doing it wrong all along...bcos i do not seal with oil...(althoough ive noticed increased thickness and my hair is moisturised when the braids come out)...lemme find out ive been doing it wrong all this time
I guess what i wanted to know is if u seal the braids with jojoba, castor or emu oil after spraying ur leave in nightly?

anyone plssssssssssssssss?

Scarcity21~I just got braids yesterday and I baggy. YES! I seal with oil. First, I spray my braids with S Curl or CareFree Curl. Next, I pour a little Alma oil in my hands and distribute thru the braids. I don't feel like the moisture is being thoroughly sealed so I may use a spray bottle to apply it. Maybe I will make a mixture of Alma, Castor, and Olive oils. Last, I baggy my whole head with a plastic cap. The next morning my braids are a little damp, but the quickly dry before I leave the house. To prevent product build up on my braids, I only moisturize once per day while my braids are in. S Curl can be kind of thick. Oh, I add a little water to my S Curl bottle to thin it out.

I don't know the exact date, but we started about 4/3, so I'm guessing it will be the 1st week in July. Hopefully DE will come and post when it's time.

She is still around. It may have been the fotki site; I just went to her fotki with no problem.

i feel off the bandwagon....i will start again in july

 

[HollyGolightly1982]

I'm still baggying. I am wearing it right now. I'm going to start baggying seven night a week from today until August 31. I'm really hoping to get two inches in time for my wedding.

 

[CherrySBR]

I started bagging a little less because my hair was wet all the time. I am now doing it 5 days a week taking off the weekend since that is when I am out and about most. I usually have about a half inch growth a month. I measure on the 24th of each month. I am close to an inch. So I am already seeing a bit of extra growth. My hair is very conditioned. It feels softer when dry. I started wearing two strand twists when I am bagging so when I remove the bag it will dry nicely.I am also trying not to use any heat on my hair for 3 months. The joys of taking care of ones hair.

I certainly hate I missed this challenge, but I'm going to do it on my own every night (or at least five nights) for the rest of the year to try to make it to bra strap. I have a bag on my head right this minute
