What is it that you just can't give up?

[unalteredone]

For me it's the flat iron. Or rather, heat period. To my credit, I did go from freshening up my hair with a flat iron multiple times a week to just doing it once at wash day and cross wrapping the rest of the time. I know it's what is causing me split ends and probably breakage.. but i just keep running back to it because a) i've finally perfected the full swangy look, and b) maintaining a totally straight look is so easy, and c) when i go out...straight hair seems the most appropriate.

I'm gonna try to only do curly updos when i go out for the next month...but i can already feel the lure of the flat iron calling me!

What are you addicted to/not doing enough that is hurting your progress?

Greasin' my scalp.

I can't give that up. I feel naked if i wash my hair, dry it and just leave without putting something on my scalp.

To me, that's like leaving the house without putting on any lotion.

I now use "good" greases or pomades without any scalp clogging agents so i never feel guilty about it.

Gel. my hair doesnt feel manageable with out it.

Putting my hands in my hair and feeling my curlies as they grow longer.

Heat... It's not long enough for rollers or a pony tail so I feel stuck

The creamy crack. I'm so mad at myself for relaxing after almost 5 months of stretching. I really wanted to transition, but chickened out. Trying again....

Same here. I have found that if I do it right before I rollerset (on a damp scalp), I don't have an itchy scalp. Ever.

Oh, and direct heat. I blow my roots out after a rollerset 2x/week.

I have dry itchy scalp so I would have to say I cant give up oiling my scalp also and my relaxer!! (though I might go natural one day way down the road)

 

[jazzzmoods]

Heat! Blowdrying with a round brush and then flat ironing. I have not figured out a PS for my short hair so until it can be put into a bun, I use heat
