6 month red grow challenge complete...my hair grew nearly 4 inches. Now what to do with the red? I didn't want to dye my hair again....and lose my gray streak again....and I certanly didn't want to cut it. So I got an idea...when I braid my hair...it roots are black, the ends are red......so I braided my hair and dyed the ends of the braids. Check it out....its back to my natural color and where the color is a bit intense...that will fade over time when the hair is washed.
Check out this item I found on eBay:

Haha me and my curlformer set got caught in a deluge of water. Im not talking, just a little rain...im talking about a Cincinnati cloudburst. 19 seconds and i was soaked....hair, clothes under my supposedly waterproof jacket, boots, everything soggy. After drying off and changing clothes...then I noticed my hair. Instead of reverting to curly....it remained parted and curly. So i twisted the parts. Rain and natural hair can make some fun styles. Haha
This...is a repost...the first post didn't load the pictures and part of the text.
Got caught in the rain...flatironed hair went back to curly. Single french braid from back to the front....and anchored on the side to keep it out of my face. Odd as it sounds....it handled like it was still strait...but I'm ready to face the rain.
Flat ironed my hair...about 90% strait. To get it any straiter would require more heat and product. The willingness to wrap it every night and touch up when it curls back up. Not willing to do all of that.
What I am willing to do...put curlformers in to further stretch it out and see if it will last a week. Braid it for the second week. I was quite surprised to see all the gray. Hahaha I used to have a few strands here and there in the front....imagine my surprise to see its all over....front, back, and sides. That's almost worth cutting off the red for...but I'll let it grow out some more first.
The red, white and zebra now has a strap....with silver swivel clasp and silver d-rings. I'm using gromlets to go thru all layers for a much more secure anchor. The strap is grossgrain ribbon encased in zebra tape.
Rawr! Meet the cougar! This is the cousin of Red, white and zebra. A little wilder. It has two inside pockets in solid red on one side, white on the other, cougar on the top. It was a fun pattern to do. This is fast becoming my fave hobby other than knitting.
