It is a darn shame when you can name the products turned backwards in the shower on those bath fitter commercials and you don't even use those products.

I also do that when I see Ikea stuff. "That's from Ikea and that's from Ikea."
 
I found a good way to break me from pjism is to not buy stuff online until I use up what I have. Then I will switch to one line and buy the largest sizes online. I hope it works.;)
I just added up all the shipping I have paid.........ridiculous.

I just love how smooth my hair feels right now. I guess I finally trimmed enough. I feel like I have let myself go by not wearing weaves. I haven't worn any weave in I lost my job in April. I wonder how long I can keep this up lol. I haven't cowashed all week. I think I will tomorrow.
 
^^ poor baby!

Do people still use megatek? When I first joined the forum it was all everyone raved about.

The formula on megatek has changed and people don't talk about it as much. I have bottles of the old and new and they are definitely different, but I like and use them both. I alternate between that and Aphogee 2-step.
 
I bought some hair scarves today. As much as I love twist outs and all, especially since they are getting bigger and more luscious, it's getting too warm to want that much hair out. Most of the time, it's easier for me to keep my hair in neat medium chunky twists. By wearing these scarves, I can feel carefree and keep it moving without feeling pressed.
 
I can't tell if what my hair is doing. I know it is longer than last summer. It seems an inch shorter than in December. The denman tt damage has grown out and my hair is thicker. I really hope I get good growth this summer. I have more knowledge this year. I didn't know what I was doing last year.
 
I'm 16 weeks post and I'm trying to decide if I should relax or continue to stretch. I'm not having any issues stretching so far, maybe I should keep going.
 
what am i going to do with this hair today? i came up with a creative style yesterday, maybe i can pull it off today? protective styling can do a number on your social life.
 
I had a dream that my Mom was tring to push me to go to a Dominican salon to get my hair straightened, and trimmed. I was dead set against it, and insisted that I could trim my hair myself with my SplitEnder. My Mom looked at me like I was stupid, and kept pushing the salon.

Funny thing about the dream is that it really happened! :lol:
 
Had to rub some red palm butter on my hair today..This dry heat is doing something to it.


Happy Hair Growing!
 
Wish I knew what I could do for itchy scalp. I wash and wash but nothing helps. I hope I'm not allegeric to anything but my skin itches too so I don't know. I look so frumpy with my hair bunned esp with it being short. I don't even care. One day my hair will reach APL and I will be happy and complete with my hair journey.
 
I am about 6 months away from a head full of healthy hair!!!!! My length will be about 12- 14" from my crown. I finally feel like I know what my hair needs. :-)

The first half of this year I focused on cowashing-oil rinsing and most recently aloe rinsing...which has resulted in my hair feeling fantastic. The one thing I slacked off on from the first year of my journey was stimulating growth. So for the next half of this year I'm going to focus on scalp stimulation. I know I can't be consistent with scalp masages but adding EO's and teas to my rinses may help and allowing the shower head to provide a light massage on my scalp I can be consistent with:yep:
 
Finally figured out what style I'm wearing for my job interview next friday. Hopefully It'll come out the way I planned, otherwise I'll have to come up with a plan B.
 
*** WARNING: IGNORANT QUESTION ALERT***

Can a black person, with no recent racial mixing, have hair that is not in the 4 category?

Yes... My mom is black with two black parents and my dad is black with two black parents and my hair is about a 3b. My dad had probably 2c or 3a hair.
