Felling my hair on my upper back is making me get a little attached to it :look:. By the time tomorrow comes, I might not be gungho about cutting as much as I had plan. I cut 3 times already, I can't need to much more taken off, right :drunk: ?

I chuckled reading this. Sounds like your "Best Friend" is a bit of a hater :yep:. Don't read much into it. When I first started growing my hair out one of my closest friends was very standoffish about it. MBL later, she wants me to do her hair because quote, "She can't grow it like I can" :lol:! Sometimes showing is wayyyyyyy better then telling.

Girl you ain't never lie!

I had someone tell me recently that a) there is not such thing as moisture overload and b) that products made for natural hair penetrate the hair better so when I'm relaxed, the natural products will penetrate my deeper and won't agree with my relaxed hair. That I have to be careful when I use products for natural hair. Mind you, the product I bought specifically states is for natural and relaxed hair and I asked the lady in person about "her" product and she said "any good product will be for anyone's use!"

My hair will stay in my buns. When it has serious hang time, bet their tongues will be tied then!

My hair was so easy to detangle on my last wash day. I don't know if it's because I'm on Hairfinity again or what.

But the balance in my scalp is off now and I've got the itchies.:nono: I should not have used the ACV because everything was fine before. I'll just use BS next time and things should be back to normal.

Right before I started my healthy hair journey, my hair was HORRIBLE. I looked like it did in my siggy, but with parts of hair that were longer. So basically, you could see through the strands right to my neck. Better yet, you could stick your head through the gaps and kiss my neck. My "friend" knew that I was really depressed about my hair and it really affected my self esteem. I has used to be APL, what happened? Anyway....we were hanging out one day and she kept whipping her SL hair back and forth and running her hands through her hair whenever she thought I was looking at her. I paid her no mind, but I was hurt that she would throw her healthy hair in my face. Fast forward to present time. Her hair is now shorter that my pic siggy and torn up from the floor up. Karma. I have no sympathies.

Yesterday I washed my hair and I swear that water got super cold fast! That's one thing I can't stand in the winter time, it seems the water gets colder faster. I was like three seconds going to hope out and rinse hair later but I ended up doing a cold water rinse which I hate because it makes the hair feel stripped and coarse. But I sat with a satin shirt on my hair for a while so it wasn't coarse when I went to detangle it. And forget all the bs about it seals in moisture, I don't believe it. I was actually reading a while ago and they said it's not a study that proves it, well at the time I was reading it wasn't
 
I love my husband! He took time out if his day to help me take out this weave:)

On a different note, I think this weave may have caused me a minor setback. My nape looks horrible!!

Hey lady, thanks for the concern:)
I went to a stylist here in my area. I just wanted to get rid of the HIH syndrome. It wasn't worth it. Oh well, now I have to restart growing my nape again.
 
I apply this peppermint pomade to my scalp (with sulfur) every other day. Last week I started my New Years resolution to run at least a mile every day early. I've noticed that the day I'm supposed to reapply the pomade my scalp tingles soooo much during my run. I'm convinced I'm feeling growth.

I know it's probably just sweat and my scalp telling me it wants to be washed. But I'm going to stick with my growth theory and keep running.
 
I wash once a week, but I'm thinking about cowashing the fourth day because I always end up re doing my curly styles anyway on like the third or fourth day, mind as well fully refresh it rather then just spraying my mix and re rolling
 
I think I'm about to do a twist out or braid out, these to flexi rods curls in a banana clip is boring me! And because it wasn't fully dry it didn't dry as smooth and my ends look frizzy and dry and it's not dry at all, i double moisturized and sealed yesterday after washing so it shouldn't be dry, but it always doesn't look right the first day, in my stretch it's a go to hairstyle for me but I should have waited until it dried a bit then put the flexi rods in
 
I truly think about hair too much, I'm reading a book and it says you haven't touched your dessert and I read "you haven't touched your braidout" really?!!!

I read this three times and only on the last, did I get what you were saying. First I read that you were going to shave (like your legs) in the kitchen because your back was broken :blush: :perplexed. Then you were going to shave you kitchen, the room, and I thought, is she resurfacing a table or something :lachen:. I needed more context clues :lol:

HM I have had issues with it leaving my hair dry too.
And I DO need shaving cream/stuff.

:yep:
 
Got some new goodies in the mail, even though my hair doesnt need a wash I may wash it anyway just so I can try them out
 
I need to get to the doctor and see where my iron stores are. I'm freakin' tired of these brittle/damaged hairs. Some of my strands are barely an inch long and the tips are already splitting or becoming brittle. I can't find any information on the role iron plays in hair health, but I did read an old thread in which a member said dry, brittle hair was the biggest hair-related issue she experienced while anemic. From what I have read, iron stores (ferritin) need to be at 70-80 consistently for optimal hair. Mine were non-existent so I'm starting from scratch. I have no clue how long it will take to rebuild them. What I do know is that I haven't seen any effects yet and it's been 2.5 months.

Speaking of supplements, I bought a biotin supplement the other day, 1000 mcg. I'm wondering whether this stuff messes with hormones or something, and perhaps that explains the excessive body hair growth and/or cystic acne that people experience. I want to try it out, though, because most people seem to have really good results.

Not having a regimen is a problem. You won't see results in a month. If you go to a salon every 1-2 weeks what do is your regimen in between visits? I don't think it is complicated. I think you want instant results. Nothing is slower than watching your hair grow. Focus on hair health and a regimen and stick to it. Have certain expectations for your hair type and all over length. Your ends are tomorrow's length. Remember that damage isn't always instant, it can show up months later. Sometimes hair is slowly breaking when we think it isn't growing fast enough. Have you followed anyone that has big chopped? No matter what you do, whether you relax or go natural, the hair at the front and the top of you head won't be neck length for a long time. I think part of your issue is understanding how hair grows in from a bc vs a person that has not big chopped. Does your boyfriend like long hair? Has he given you a hard time about your hair?

It takes about a year and a few months for my sides to be neck length so around March I'll be fine. My crown takes forever.

My boyfriend prefers long hair. He wasn't happy at all when I BC shortly after we started dating, I. Mean I didn't like the BC very much either but for different reasons. Anyway I don't mind growing my hair out to full SL. I really don't want long hair. Just enough to ponytail without clips.

My dream would straight haired natural at full neck length or SL but I am scared of transitioning. I have severe anxiety so it's terribly difficult to stick to anything that's not already second nature for me.

I don't think you can become a straight haired natural or a natural then.

I am unclear why you even want to be natural.

Sometimes you want long hair and sometimes you don't.

Just do whatever you were doing when you were relaxed. I am sure you were less anxious.
