Hide Your Hair For 6 Months Challenge: June 15 - December 15

I know I'm a day early, but straigntening my hair out is quite the process, plus I wanted to try my new Lush Henna. Anyhoo, here is my big reveal! I'm so thrilled because I did my BC back in August and my hair has already grown back!!!! Woo hoo!!!:dance7:
My pics aren't that great a quality, and my arms are so darn short that I couldn't get a good angle. I'll have DD help me with it tonight. But here they are!

Great challenge! Thank you for letting me take part in it! :grin:

I haven't posted very much in the thread, but I'm happy that I stuck with the challenge. There were definitely some days where I felt like dropping out though! I quickly realized that my hair grows slower than average and sheds a LOT, but I'm cool with that.

I'll probably keep doing protective styles throughout the winter.. but I don't know if I'll do another HYH challenge like this. I haven't even taken any pictures yet. I'd be too tempted to post them! Can't wait to see everyone's results!
 
Ugh! I'm not happy with my reveal shot that I took last night! Going to try to take another one tonight.

ETA: Look at how long this list started out. I do not believe all of us have been in here checking in regularly, or even every blue moon for that matter.

When I would post I got no feedback or anything so I just let it go.

I am here and did the challenge, I just didn't check in as much.

I'll post a pic in a sec. when I flat iron.:yep:
 
I guess this is my last post in this thread. I've learned a lot about my hair over the course of this challenge. I used braids for the first four months to help maximize growth and retention. For the last two months I've worn protective styles, and I'm hoping that I've still managed to retain all of the growth that I had with braids. I think that finding styles that help me with retention will always be a challenge for me.

So in tomorrow's reveal thread I'm going to post my beginning picture and the one I took in October. I plan on posting a more recent picture over the weekend when I will have a bigger block of time to wash, dc, and flat iron.

So congratulations to us all for surviving this challenge. Looking forward to the revel thread!
 
please, please:crossfingers: i wish someone will start another one of these challenges for 2010...i saw the other one, but i missed it!!!:fistshake:

Awwww....I'm sorry hun. We've been here posting, even though we technically should have been in the Support Thread. You sure you didn't post there instead?

Well, I'm glad you stayed in the challenge regardless. I can't wait to see your reveal on Wednesday. :yep:
 
I enjoyed the challenge and it was certainly a challenge for me to hide my hair for so long. I would like to say I made APL but I did not. However, I did learn what protective styles worked for me and what didn't. Braids were a great hide ur hair style but sometimes the take down was a bit challenging and I felt I lost a bit more hair than I needed to. I tried a weave and just could not get past all the itchyness to keep it in for the required time. Braidout and twistouts while they looked cute made my hair by Day 2 & 3 feel dry and sometimes matted. The best hide my hair style for me is bunning. While it is a bit boring I found I retained moisture and got a little more length than with the other hide ur hair options. Going into 2010 I think I will do another hide ur hair challenge this time with the protective style that works best for me.
I hope everyone either met, exceeded or came close to their goals during this challenge!!!
 
I have been hiding my hair but I cut it in September so my progress will probably be the same as when I started the challenge hahaha..
 
I made it as well.. I feel so good about making it thru especially with all the pressue to just wear my hair from my dh once he saw how it was progressing.. I am not due to relax until the day after xmas, so I will post my ending pics in the new thread and then off to hiding again for another 6 months.. Will there be another challenge?
 
I am so ready for the reveal... This is the first challenged that I actually stepped out of my comfort zone to complete. The first one that I didn't look for loopholes to fit what I wanted to do anyway. Where is the reveal thread? I want to post mine at midnight.
 
Can't wait for the reveal tomorrow. I've trimmed a lot so it looks like I haven't had much progress however, it feels healthier.

My reveal pic will be from the last relaxer in October. My next relaxer isn't until Jan.
 
OH MY GOODNESS LADIES!!!!!!

ARE YOU READY??????????

Bout to go start the new thread now. Feel free to post at midnight!!! :yep: :lachen:
