I hope you feel better. You always seem like such a cheerful, upbeat person. If you need to vent/talk feel free.

Thank you! I'm talking to my friends and my pastor right now. I'm seeing this as a mountain I'll have to climb. Either way I'm gonna be ok, thank you for the hug! I'm sending one back to you!

Even when I'm sad I always laugh and crack jokes :giggle: I'm a silly person at heart. I don't allow myself to wallow in self-pitty (as much as I'd love to) but instead give thanks to the Lord for His mercy & grace and keep my head up.

Just when I think it won't grow much anymore, I stretched the nape and it's about 3-3.5 inches to butt crack :lachen:.

Hey yall, I tried the mixed chicks and liked it. I just reviewed it and put the results on my blog.

I didn't use too much, and i used it on hair that was moisturized and had some condish left in after the cowash. My washngo was defined and curly and fluffy and soft.

Got a temp Census-taker job and haven't had much time to do much of anything over the past 2-3 weeks. Had my hair in a braid out for 1st week then figured I should invest a few hours and do a headful of twists. Great idea since it lasted a whole 2 weeks before it started looking a little :spinning:.

Washed and detangled last night. Did a S&D on any splits and SSKs I ran into and marinated in conditioner overnight and most of today.

Just when I think it won't grow much anymore, I stretched the nape and it's about 3-3.5 inches to butt crack :lachen:.

I've got all day today to figure out what to do with it - may go another round of twists since that last batch was just so convenient.

Nappiversiary (bc'd 5/07 after transitioning for 15 months) coming up in the next few days! Can't believe 3 years living with natural hair has went by so quickly or how much growth I've gotten and retained over the past 4+ years!!

HHG everyone!!!

Don't let the shrinkage get you down. The summer brings the humidity & lots of shrinkage :perplexed, but on the bright side...hair tends to grow faster in the summer season:clapping:! So, soon your hair will be longer, and the shrinkage will be less. I am sure that you will find a good mixture/leave-in for your hair.

I wish you continued success!

This better be true LLL cuz I sure am not feeling my growth/length these days.

It is so true "Fine 4s" - peep this...

"During the summertime, human hair grows 10 to 15 percent faster than in the winter. This is because warm weather enhances blood circulation to the skin and scalp, which in turn nourishes hair cells and stimulates growth. In cold weather, when blood is needed to warm internal organs, circulation to the body surface slows and hair cells grow less quickly (http://www.answers.com/topic/does-hair-grow-faster-in-summer-or-winter)."

So, get ready this:sunshine:for a little extra hair growth!
 
OK Ladies, I have decided to step up my hair game:armyhat::strong:I have joined the Healthy Ends challenge, the Ceramides challenge & Part 3 of the Classic Length Challenge. I'm hoping that the 1st 2 help me with retaining these ends & making HL this year:happydance:

Lucia i LOVE that pink and white hair flower!!! I looked on the site...they're scented??

You have good taste in hair toys

Thanks, no they're not scented, but that's a good idea too, maybe spray them from the back so the front doesn't stain.
 
Hello ladies!
I'm on my way to church and I just wanted to say HOLA and sprinkle some hair fairy dust on you all LOL :fairy:

Its been HOT outside and amazingly enough I've been able to keep my rollerset hair semi-straight. I am finding it harder and harder to keep co-washing my hair on a daily basis. Its sooo much hair. It was so much easier 2 years ago and last summer when my hair was shorter. I am not going to analyze it to death LOL BTW I was at the mall yesterday just flipping my hair around like a belly dancer :grin: It felt so great! I look forward to our next update.
 
So I flat ironed my hair for this weekend. It will probabaly be the last time this year so I wanted to share my pics. I also got a trim. I used my new maxiglide and it was not a good experience. It did not get my hair as straight as I like (even using setting # 8/9) and the teeth ripped through my hair. I was rushing to get to Supercuts before they closed (got there 15 min to spare) so maybe if I had more time it wouldn't have been as bad. After my trim I ended up going over my entire head with the Chi the same night. I don't like to use that much heat on my hair but I was disappointed with the maxi results.

The before pics are in the Supercuts bathroom. Lol, who does that.
