My friend just said I had good hair. Wow thats awesome, my healthy hair practices must be working. But I have a week to go before I relax. I just cowashed and oiled my hair. Can’t wait to relax next week and show my boo my new hair!!!
 
I like natural hair companies and products but my hair seems to respond better to salon brands :(
With the exception of qhemet, my hair loved qhemet.
 
I think my hair has enough new growth for me to know for sure if my Organix conditioners are going to be TRUE staples. I'm coming up to 3 months post so I'll know if I can keep using these conditioners all throughout my routine. I used different conditioners for my last wash (ones I never tried, I'm a pj lol) and my hair came out like crap, I could tell my hair missed the Organix. Ah well, today my hair will rejoice, I'm returning to my babies. <3
 
So I'm in the grocery store waiting at the deli for my ham and cheese and notice this white woman walking by with long blonde hair. Then I think to myself, "I can see straight through her ends. She needs to think about a trim." :sad:

One day a stranger in a store or in the hallway at work will turn around and ask if I'm looking at her hair and I will have to lie and say something about admiring it. :look:
 
Wondering if flat-ironing once a month can cause heat damage? I'm gonna use heat protectant and my flat-iron will be on 350.
 
Ok if I cocleanse then flatiron my hair tomorrow can I still relax on tuesday or wednesday? Or will my hair need a break?

I think you should shame the devil and tell the truth.

Then come back here and tell us what happened.

:lol:
 
How am I gonna break it to my hubby that I'm converting his home office into my personal salon? I barely have space in my room for my steamer and now I've gone a bought a freestanding ionic dryer. I mean....where does he think I'm gonna put my stuff? I've taken over our room, the closet and our bathroom. I'm out of space. It's the only thing that makes sense...unless he wants me to start shopping for a new house. :ohwell: Either way. His choice. :yep:
 
You buy cheap, you buy twice! Whenever I ignore this rule, I always end up wasting money.

I ended up buying a Mason Pearson rake, tail comb and an extra-large natural board bristle paddle brush .......because the set of Hercules Sagemann combs I bought for $120 on Black Friday just didn't impress me when I received them.

I believe that dollar cost averageraging the price of an item divided by how much use you get over many years means you get your moeny's worth because quality usually lasts.....

But noooo, I tried to be thrifty because one of my new years resoloution is to spend less and save more... so yeah, I talked myself into getting the HS combs.

I should have just got my one MP rake, and one tail comb and one brush and kept it moving! Wasted the money spent on the HS comb set as I do believe they said no returns on their website.

I will save money next year, but I'm still only buying the very best. :wallbash::angry2::swearing:
 
Decided to get demi-coloring during my next hair appt. The stylist uses Redken EQ, which is supposed to be gentle on hair. I'm praying for good results.
 
I'm going to Bath and Body Works tomorrow to check out the ingredients in their moisturizing conditioners. The reviews say that the scents are really good and they last a long time. I would love nice smelling hair all day. :lick:
 
I'm thinking that 6 months after I get to HL I'm gonna transition to be natural. :look: I've been pondering it for a long time and I'm thinking of just cutting away the relaxed ends as it grows. LOL the thought's still processing so I don't know, I'll have to start looking at transition videos and ask questions when the time comes. I know I probably won't be relaxing my hair forever though.
 
I'm tired of dealing with my new growth. I may bring in the new year with a fresh relaxer touch up. The question is, do I want to go through the trouble of doing it myself or do I want to go to the salon?
 
Cut my hair today. I feel so much better and I was actually giddy with the scissors. lol I missed my short hair; I'm excited to play with it!
 
I'm not joining all these challenges in 2013. Besides most of them are repetitive esp the health challenges. I'll do one hair challenge & one health challenge (maybe) .
 
Deep conditioning with Aussie Moist "Deeeeep" Conditioner on dry, dirty hair. Wasn't motivated enough to hop in the shower and cleanse first, and I didn't want to use my good (more expensive) DC, so I just used up the last of this cheap one. My hair is so thirsty this deep into my stretch that it'll take anything at this point
 
Took my weave down after two months,did a pre-poo,then a light shampoo. I got out of the shower to apply my dc,and I was doing a two step dc thing. After that I rubbed some SAA all over my twists to help get that strength back in there. My hair was wayyyyy too soft when I took that weave down.
Anyway,I had my SAA on the counter while I applied it. Why,why whyyyy did I knock over my little jug of silky proteiny wonder???
I panicked and saved most of it,but watching some of it just slosh down the drain hurt my soul! I wanted to smash my head into the sink and rub it around the basin. Ugh,that stuff should not be going to waste like that.:nono:
 
I just drank the nastiest green smoothie ever. It tastes like how grass smells. :barf: 2 glasses worth too. I'm SO SO SO buying some banana tomorrow, I can't believe kale can taste that bad. Oh well I'm trying to be healthier so I don't regret it.

I thought you we gonna say you used wheatgrass juice in it. Just a little wheatgrass juice turned my best smoothie into what grass smells like. I juice with kale and don't get that at all. Throw some pineapple in there. Or switch to spinach. : yep:
 
I'm so torn regarding what I want to do with my hair. On one hand I want to relax it, but on the other I want to stay natural.

I love my natural hair when it's in a wash n go, but I can't do any other styles. Twist outs, braid outs and those kid of styles don't look right on me and I don't have the time for them anymore. I also don't really care for the time it takes for me to straighten my hair. I miss wetting my relaxed hair and combing it in less than a minute. I never had ssks or split ends.

I know I will miss my wash and go, so that's my only issue with relaxing.

Oh and naturals don't sleep on Aphogee's 2 minute. My hair felt amazing after I used that. It was buttery soft and had some serious act right.
