My setback in 2009 left me with a few noticable 1/2 inch patches of hair in the back of my head...

This is fueling my severe scissor bug Ive gotten

Altho I grazed mbl last dec I chopped my hair back to bsb/bsl(in march) due the the noticeable shorter areas.

Those shorter areas have now reached 9-10 inches and im absolutely DYING to chop ALL my hair back to apl :nono:

Will i ever make it to waistlength?

"I WANT EVEN HAIR AND I NEED IT NOW" :pyro::freakout::burnup:

Somebody please take the scissors before end up with a SL bob

On top of that.....

Recovering from severe tooth trauma so i havent

* Baggied, moisturized, deep conditioned, covered my hair in 2 weeks
* Detangled my hair in a month altho im 18 weeks post


AND furthermore:rolleyes:

Tired of this tangly, pouffy, texlaxed hair and highly considering pulling the relaxer all way through to the tips. :burning:
 
I missed a few gym workouts because I didn't want to mess up my flat-ironed hair. :look:

I don't moisturize and seal enough anymore when I wear my hair out because I don't want it weighed down. :perplexed

I will change my entire outfit if I feel like the fabric is not conducive to the style and it feels like it will rub up against it. :sad:

I peek in EVERY mirror or picture I walk by when I'm out just to see the reflection to see how long my hair looks. :drunk:
 
I am guilty of this and I am going to stop.:nono: I just recently began a diet/exercise routine and it is producing great results. All the I dont want to get my hair sweaty stuff has got to go. I love my hair but I have learned to love my body more

1. I use poor techniques when I get frustrated or hair discouraged.
2. I moisturize daily but rarely seal.
3. I obsess over breakage although I know some is unavoidable.
4. I sometimes feel that I should go back to being salon dependent with how long it takes me to do my own hair and the level of frustration it sometimes bring.
5. Although LHCF has done more good than bad for my HHJ, I must admit, I sometimes feel like finding LHCF has done more harm than good financially (buying products) and hair wise (with setbacks from me attempting things I would have never considered prior to LHCF)....but hey, these are my fault, I know.
 
I cant leave the supermarket without buying a bottle of conditioner :ohwell: this expensive habit has to stop! :look:
 
I slipped up and flatironed the front of my hair to blend it in with my half wig. As we can see down in my sig I'm not supposed to do that, smh
 
I've been doing nothing to retain my hair. I haven't kept it moist. I rip SSK and ignore split ends. I don't seal. I've been doing wash and goes and re-doing (wetting/brushing) everyday. I want to enjoy my APL hair but I want to make BSL by Dec. Catch 22... After this wedding in May, I'll go back to my braid reggie.

shortdub78 what hair color did you use? Just curious because the same thing happened to me. I used the bamboo color advertised by Bre, I can't think of the name.
 
I may have to visit this confession board

1. I have serious HIH disease. i am constantly checking my hair for moisture, I am pulling my twists to see if it is longer than it was an hour ago.
2. I may style my hair several times before I leave work. Then I will probably try some different styles later that night.
3. I have no clue how to moisturize and seal my hair.
4. I buy hair accessories like a pregnant woman buys baby clothes.
5. I snap SSKs at my desk.
6. I will try to measure my hair with anything while I'm at work, even an index card or a folded up piece of paper. :sad:

I think that is enough for today.
 
I constantly work out Regimens in my Head. :look:

I have slips of paper in my Purse, on my Desk at Work or at home of various Regimens or Combination of Regimens and Products I will use for upcoming Wash-Days.

I can be driving down the street thinking about Regimens or Sitting in meetings at work thinking about what I'm going to use to Deep Condition with or use for a Protein Treatment.

I'm addicted to Regimen-Writing.:lol:

I'm tired of my hair poofing up as soon as I leave the house! I want my twistout to last all day dammit!

Maybe you can try smaller twists? with gel and your qhemet?

Confession: I have never done my hair the same twice at all. My regimen is like snowflakes--no two are alike. I don't think I have one. Might be closing in on one now. Ok goin to bed :lol:
 
I like natural hair but I'm not really happy about learning about my hair all over again. But I'm 80% certain I'll transition even though my stylist is advising me not to.
 
The past couple of weeks I:

*slept w/o a scarf
*did not use my MT or sulphur mix
*did not DC

Luckily my hair is not doing too bad but I completely slipped up...

-PYT I'm afraid if I use a little gel my hair will feel dry. But I've been thinking about trying that. I have a big tub of ecostyler that I need to use anyway.
 
Detangled dry hair this morning, it coulda used a lil moisturizer to soften it a bit but... :look:

i feel bald-headed. when i look in the mirror, i think my hair is huge, but when i take pics, it looks like a shrunken fro to me. if don't figure something out soon, i'm going to do something stupid. i hate the fact that i feel like anything i might do to my hair may cause damage. i feel like a slave right now. i love my natural hair, but i hate having to be subject to doing certain things to avoid problems. i just wanna be free.

Me too, it drives me crazy. This is what keeps me from keeping a hair album to track progress. Even though I see the progress in the mirror the pictures don't reflect it. In pics my head looks huge and my hair always looks small! LOL! :lol:

I make up regimens all the time too. I do change my regimen depending on hair length or the season, but once I change it I'm good at sticking with it. For some reason though I'm always thinking of something different.

Okay, my other confessions:
1) I used to cut out SSKs because I had a whole slew of them. I don't have as many any more but their still there. I'm usually too tired to cut them out at night when I M/S though, and I'm finding it hard to care these days.

2) I use a brush every day. I bun my hair daily and I'm sorry, I don't know how ladies manage to pull their hair back into a bun without a brush, I can't do it. My little curls/coilies are NO JOKE, and simply using my hands won't do it. Plus I need something to stretch out the curls underneath so that I can stretch my hair into the bun.

3) I'm thinking about reducing my moisture DCs to 1x or 2x a month instead of weekly, and eliminating my weekly protein DC altogether and using Henna instead 1x a month. I cowash/water rinse my hair daily now that it's warm and I M/S nightly. My hair feels very moisturized, and I'm tired of the long routine every Sunday of prepooing, washing, and DC'ing my hair. The protein DC I do mid-week, and after work I don't feel like dealing with it. I'd rather spend the time focusing on my 4 year old, not trying to work in a cowash and DC.

4) The other night I played around with my hair, wet it, added gel, and pulled it into a puff, and then slept in it. I haven't done that in ages! I have to M/S my hair in four sections and twist it before going to bed to keep my hair stretched and to avoid tangle and SSK's. Oh well.
 
1. I'm obsessed with LHCF, but

2. I still don't know what I'm doing

3. I think I've over done it with the seek and destroy method, the girl that rolls my hair said I need a serious trim and she can tell I've been doing it myself!

4. I'm turning into a product junkie, thanks y'all, lol!

I could go on and on!
 
I'm a product JUNKIE; I don't even use half of the products I've bought

I've put heat on my hair every single day since I've straightened it on Thursday
 
I had to think hard, I'm such a good girl, I rarely break any "rules"! lol

-Last week, I had a lot going on and went like 3 or 4 days straight and didn't moisturize
-I fell asleep like 2 or 3 times last week and didnt' tie my hair up. on a cotton pillowcase
 
I have fell off the wagon of product sobriety and descended back in to full product junkie insanity. Ulta is the devil.

I am SO in this boat! I haven't been washing my hair more often than once every 3 weeks! And I have been runnning and working up a sweat each time at least 4 days a week! Oh well!:look:

Hon, I have been there! I have little A5 books that I write regimens ideas for the coming month/week in throughout 2009-2010! I have gotten bored of it now.....thank the Lord, and have settled down with a very low maintenace regi!

My other confessions:
1) I got bored of my hair so I put in kinky twists and called it a challenge between Nov 2010 and April 2011. Who was I kidding? I couldn't be bothered to take the things down more than once a month or every 6 weeks!

2) I only recently got back to sealing my hair with oils this week. For most of the year, I have just sprayed my watery moisturizer on, put on a scarf and bonnet and gone to bed!

3) I haven't DC'd more than once every 3-6 weeks in this year! :blush::blush::blush:
Forgive me but I just can't make myself! Call it depression, stress, boredom with the status quo...I can't do it! So I DC'd 3 weeks ago in between threaded hairstyles and instead I Moisturize twice daily with a spray bottle of water, Aloe vera juice and Infusium 23! *kanye shrug*

5) OK, this feels like a sin.....I haven't been taking my hair pills daily. In 2009 and most of 2010, I used to open each pill box daily and pop them like an addict! Now, I have a dossette box (so the whole week is laid out) and still just forget to take them! :look::perplexed Lord, help me!
I haven't even used my sulphur mix at all in April!
 
Ohh boy. Here we go

*I'm totally gung ho with the idea of hitting the next milestone, but secretly I know it's gonna take much longer than everyone else does and it tends to make me a little down in the dumps

*I'm newly natural and have NO idea how to style my hair and usually get too frustrated to continue trying after failing once.

*I rather wear a wig than rock my natural at work for the fear of the ladies in my office trying to touch it without asking first.

*My mother hates my natural hair so much to the point where I considered becoming heat trained...and changed my mind.

*I'm addicted to LHCF and YT channels that feature natural styles but never try them myself.

I guess that's all for now
