Lol I didn't expect anyone to ask, just venting. I'm bored to death with my hair! I hate straightening, especially this time of year because it lasts all of 1 day before it's big, fluffy and frizzy, tired of wash n go's because of all the detangling I have to do afterwards, and I'm SICK of twist outs! Don't even get me started on the buns. I'm just not satisfied with anything right now. Braids and stuff like that are SO not an option for me, just not my style :nono:. Maybe it's hormonal, but I'm just getting bored with this whole hair thing. I need a change.

As with all things in life...this too will pass. I think we all lose momentum with the things we love at some point and we need to just walk away from them for a time. Focus on some other area of you life you have lost interest with or may have ignored and then come back to the hair thing. We will mourn your loss for the time (esp reading about what you bought this week) but we will love you when you come back rejuvenated and excited. Just do what you feel is best for you.
 
Prepoo'd with Vatika Oil, Almond Oil and Castor Oil for 45 minutes... slightly wet my hair and slathered on HE Hydralicious (1st time using this, it smells soooo yummy. I only bought 2 bottles when I was in the States and now I wish I bought more. I'll have to wait till my Sis comes visiting from there), covered hair with shower cap for 15 minutes. Rinsed out and cowashed with HE Hydralicious.

Will do twists for a twistout...

I feel you on this one (((((HUGS))))). I went through this in April/May and it took all of my will power and good reasoning not to do something silly impulsively (thought I'd be better off relaxed or with shorter hair, then thought I'd BKT, bought the stuff then chickened out). Finally got over the hurdle through braids and I'm in love with my hair again. Just had it out for 2 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm now installing a new set of braids to last another 5-6 weeks.

Is there something you could do to keep your hair hidden away and mostly untouched? Perhaps a weave, or a wig? Weaves are to me what braids are to you, lol - not an option! Hope you get over this 'bleurgh' hair period fast!

I bought a wig the other week but still haven't worn it :look: I don't know if I'm waiting for it to cool off a bit outside or what. It's just sitting there looking at me lol.

Umm, I hated the Creme de la Curl poo and Creme de la Creme conditioner. Those products were the nail in Miss Jessie's coffin for me. I've completely given up on those products, yuck.

Yea, I plan on taking a break very soon.

Dc'd w/Elucence Extended Moisture Repair Treatment, Hairveda 24/7 and a pinch of KBB LLHM all day yesterday and rinsed this morning. Blow dried, pressed and flat ironed. I kinda miss my straight hair, just not all the work it involves now. Luckily today it only took me 2 hours. :look:
 
i co washed today with suave tropical coconut conditioner. i really really really love that stuff.
im almost out becuase i have the smaller bottle so saturday i will be buying 2 or more bottles if i cant find the big bottles.

tomorrow i will be pre co washing with coconut oil for no less than 15 minutes with a plastic cap and then i will be co washing with suave tropical coconut.

you know what has really been like an at home spa for me lately? i pre co wash with coconut oil, co wash with coconut conditioner and i just bought(i know im late) suave coconut body wash(love the smell of this) and have been using them all at the same time. this will really wake you up and put a smile on your face in the morning.

Aww, okay baby, I understand. I get there sometimes too and simply switch to another forum for variety. This will pass honey but you know, taking a break really does help to restore the love back for hair or anything really. If thta's what you need then do so, but make sure to come back, ya hear?

You know I won't be able to stay away for long!
 
cowashed today with suave tropical coconut.

i have been moisturizing at night with kbb hair butter and i notice that in the morning when i let the water detaingle it does it so quickly. its only been that way since i started using the butter.
 
I have a blend of oils marinating now. Going to cowash in a bit. :( My ng is a beast so I'm going to use my blowdryer.

MG your twist out is delicious! :lick: What did you use?
 
I henna'ed my hair today for conditioning and strengthening only - not for color. I cowashed it out with David Babaii Amplifying Conditioner and v05 Sun Kissed Rasberry Conditioner. I followed it up with a 5 minute protein treatment of an egg, evoo, MT, CON Reconstructor and honey. I am now DCing with Jason Naturals Biotin Conditioner and Joico Color Endure Conditioner and some hot evoo. I think I am going to leave it in overnight and wash it out in the morning.
 
Cowashed today with AOHSR. Going away for work for this week and plan on taking Aussie Moist and my Avocado Condish as well as my hair products. Have to keep up a good appearance in front of the boss and be on my A hair game.
 
Cowashed with HE totally Twisted for the last few nights.. im not crazy about it, but i'm trying to use up the bottle and then i will try the VO5 moisture milks next.. i havenet found that perfect cond yest, hopefully soon..
 
i co washed saturday and sunday with suave tropical coconut. i also deep conditioned overnight twice this weekend. once with kbb deep conditioner and the other time with curl junkiw hibiscus and banana deep fix.
 
Haven't cowashed since Saturday, I did some braids (no extensions, see siggy) that I hope will last 2 weeks. I plan to DC on dry hair Wednesday morning and then lightly cowash out. Next cowash (and DC) will have to be Sunday if I want them to last 2 weeks. I cleaned/rinsed my scalp after working out yesterday.
 
I have not checked in with this challenge in quite a while, but I'm still in it. I cowash 2x week still, but I have a new staple. V05 Moisture Milks Strawberries and Cream in the truth.:yep:
 
Used Joico Mosture Recovery (thanks Eisani) today after the gym and I loved it. Not sure if this was a cowash or a DC?

The directions said to leave on for only 1 minute :perplexed:
