I wear my hair up most of the time anyway, but am going to make it more of a challenge in 2015. Hair up for the whole year while I don't trim. I'm in between neck length and shoulder length at the moment, so hopefully making more of a point of wearing it up every day and perhaps learning some new styles will help me get through this horrible awkward stage.

Day 260: LWB

Tomorrow is gonna be my last day here for a little bit. I'm officially 110 days over my original goal, and my second goal, to make it to 2015, has been achieved. I'm looking forward to enjoying a little bit of time when I can wear my hair down once or twice a week (still up MOST of the time, don't think I can ever go back to having my hair down constantly) and I'll probably rejoin you guys in March or April.
Best of luck to all you all!

So, I joined this challenge several months ago and failed miserably because I could not keep my freshly washed hair up in anything. Not even a claw clip could hold on! BUT NOW, I have gathered some new tools (Spin pins!) and I am ready to join again!

Here are my "rules" I am setting for myself.
Going to try for hair up all month at first, if I stick with it I'll extend it!
Hair up in some updo everyday except I grant myself Sundays to wear it down or in a half up if I choose
Wash days I can wear it down for drying time obviously.
Braids count as "up"

That's pretty much it! I hope I learn some new fun updos this year
