Im going to get my senegalese twists in tomorrow hopefully. First time in almost 10 yrs im going to attempt extensions for longer than a week. Practice for nex year.

 

[MyAngelEyez~C~U]

Please add me to the roster! C&G method for me, getting individuals tomorrow. I'm loving my BKT'd hair, but I have serious hands in hair syndrome. I just keep brushing, combing, and running my fingers through it. I gotta put it away before I give myself a setback again!

Here's how I will be wearing my hair under a wig until mid January. I'm going to get my Urban Twists in mid January & I'll post a pic of them then.

I'm in. This is the only way my transition has seemed to be going well for me. I will put in braids for 6-8 weeks. Take out for a week or two and then get them redone. I am going to keep doing this till I finally feel comfy enough to BC.

I'm including my starting point pic below. I'm wearing my hair in fat half-braid/half-twists, which I moisten each day with a light homemade conditioning spritz. Right now, I just have it pulled back in a low pony of twists, with a few strategically hanging down to frame my face. I love it. So easy, so simple.

Anyone had problems taking down the senegalese(rope) twist extensions after 4 weeks. Im seeing that the correct way is to twist the extension hair onto your real hair. After 4 weeks im assuming it might be a little hard to detangle and take down. Any thoughts?

Would it be safer to go with a .5 inch starting plait and continue with braids. Also wouldnt the twists stay in better this way??

Help! im getting this done tomorrow! And as usual im doing my homework the night before.

I am in. I have box braids in going on week 3

 

[Miss AJ]

My braid hair came in the mail the other day and I'm tempted to put them in now, but the only reason I'm waiting is so I can wear them while I'm in Florida and not have to worry about putting another set in until I get to my next base.

Hello ladies,

I started my regimen a week after my braids!! I am coming across only one concern...MY EDGES

I have been applying the MN and I am so afraid that the braids that are in the front is twisting and may matte. Any one have any recommendations on how I can protect my edges?

[Fhrizzball]

Can I join in? I'm going to be doing two strand twists as well will that be allowed? Well here's my length/starting pics. These are box braids without extensions. Hopefully they'll look nice for at least 2 weeks. I just cut my recently so I'm trying to get back to my avatar at least. Just with healthier ends.

I always loved the color of your hair Angel did you those braids yourself?

redo your edges/nape every two-three weeks to avoid matting/build-up.

Thank you! Henna/indigo are the bizness!

I wish I could braid like this! No, I have the next best thing...a teen in my neighborhood braids, and she only charges $50 for these. I will have her as my braider during this challenge, although I plan to pay her more, since she did such an excellent job.

 

[PaleoChick]

I am glad I joined the challenge.
I am getting my hair braided next Tuesday night.
I will get braids done every three weeks. In fact, I need to set up standing appointments with the braider for the year.
I will do a shampoo and deep conditioner treatment before each re-braid.
The wig will be for any braid respites I have.
I will keep my scalp moisturized with aloe vera juice.
I will apply Afroveda Shikakai growth elixir or use Yonnea's Hair GPS.
All year long. Need to start taking spirulina and chlorella again with applesauce.
Doing hot yoga for fitness, and some spin cycling. Going tomorrow night in fact.
That is all.

I'm with you Firstborn. Even though I've decided not to join any more length challenges, I'm really hoping to be MBL by the end of 2010. I'm skimming BSB now. I have my 20th h.s. class reunion in October of 2010 & I'm at odds about what to do with my hair.

Yeah, I know it's a long way off...

Is it too late to join? I am currently braided under a wig. The plan was to stop on 5/1/2010, but I will stay in it until 1/3/2011.
I re-braid every week after shampoo and deep condition in braids. I then apply njoi creations' scalp grease with sulfur and moisturize with shea butter leave in condish (although looking at afroveda cocolatte mask-any suggestions?). When I get home, the wig comes off.

Welcome on board ladies.........your names have been added.

 

[IrrationalThoughts]

Is it too late to join? I have been meaning to put in some yarn braids. I have all the stuff, I am just too lazy. I even have an empty closet with hair that I soaked in vinegar hanging in it, just waiting for me to stop being lazy.
