I'm out of this challenge. I will be cutting my hair into a tapered style in 2 weeks.
Yeah, so this didn't happen. I want a change but after blowing my hair out for some kinky twists, I realized... my hair is really long, LOL. I'm at the very top of my bra strap in the back.
It may sound odd but I never blow or straighten my hair out. Its just not cohesive for my lifestyle because I sweat a lot , so WnG it is. I'm going on a cruise tonight so I wanted a protective style.
I'm just going to go with the flow and see where I end up at the end of the year. For now, I'm in kinky twists until November.
I came in here all souped up when this challenge first started and havent updated since, lol. My bad.
Well I have been hiding my hair (cornrowed under wigs). I got bored and had box braids put in on August 29th. The plan is to keep them in for 8 weeks.
I'm a slow grower so I havent seen much progress--maybe an inch or two. I'm going to do an official check once I take out these braids.
You're very pretty!!!
A friend of mine just installed a vixen sew in with marley hair. It looks amazing so I immediately made an appt for 5 weeks out. Then... I started to think,lol. Her hair was flat ironed. I dont mind my hair being flat ironed for the initial style but umm err, will I have to keep flat-ironing my left out hair to blend with the marley, even if its kinky textured? I skate three times a week and sweat like Im working on the docks. I might have to get it twisted up, and then unloose the marley hair for a twistout effect?? Either way, I'm going to post pictures. My appt is Oct 25th.
I braided my hair today and was reminded painfully why I stopped going to salons. It was horrendous. After I take this out I'm going back to wigs forever. Weaves are good too but my edges can't seem to handle full weaves and I don't want to be blow drying, flat ironing and what not on leave out hair all the time...... Sent from my iPad using LHCF
so sorry that happened but I would take that out ASAP. I wouldn't chance it.I braided my hair today and was reminded painfully why I stopped going to salons. It was horrendous.

I am still hiding my hair with wigs. I can't do the weave thing for the same reason as msbettyboop. It is madness how tight those edges can be and whenever I would leave some of it out, they suffer anyway. So for me, no more weaves. Wigs are so versatile for me. One week I can wear it very afro curly, the next week I can wear it long and straight with very little to no manipulation of my own hair, so
, wigs it is.
msbettyboop, I have been purchasing all of my wigs from www.hairtobeauty.com and www.hairwigharlem.com.@Aggie, where do you get your wigs from? I've been wearing the mummy wig all year and want a different look now, after my scalp recovers from this nightmare.
