I have it too, but bought it out of support because her blog is life for me.

I may actually put it to use though. To be honest I sort of use LHCF as my journal. I share everything on here and sometimes I save threads and go back to review. I know that may seem crazy, but I do it :lol:.

Ladies do any of you journal you hair care regimen?

I got the PDF of Jens Just Grow Already and started to enter notes, Its so cute and I think if I use it like I should it will help me really see what products do and don't do it for my hair!

I did one time. When I get my haircut Thursday, I will start a new one. I talked to my friend stylist, who is also going to hook me up. She was trying to talk me into getting a sew-in, but I have thought this through and I am so over growing my hair out at the moment. Postpartum mess did a lot to my hair and skin. I just want a fresh start. I got enough battles to fight right now and I don't want my hair to be one of them. Plus, it will make me feel good.

No, I'm not really good with journaling. I hardly ever take pictures. I'm just not consistent enough for that. I've kept the same regimen for many years. I do write my protein dates/haircuts on my google calendar. Otherwise I wouldn't remember how long it's been between treatments and I set little reminders so I know when protein day is coming again. That's about it.

I've seen her journal but never bought it. I don't journal and as EnExitStageLeft says, LHCF is my journal. Also I have hair photos labeled in my iMac that are dated in order of my relaxers so when I need to gauge my progress, I just take a look at those. As for products, I usually have a pretty good memory. I can remember when products are hits, misses or just aight.

I love Jen's blog too, for years. Most of the techniques, tools and products I use are due to her reviews. Her hair is soo amazing and to see that she started off with damaged shoulder length hair amazes me even more.

Any of you ever successfully did a tea rinse with black/green teas and did a 2-step protein treatment at once? I just washed my hair and don't know if it'll be ok. I initially wanted to do just a 2-step but now I want to do a tea rinse. I'm getting my hair texlaxed on Friday and will be having her do a mid-step protein treatment. What are your thought on this? I feel like it'll be safe but I'm second guessing myself...

Anyone on the thread can answer if you have experience with this. Thanks!

I've done it before with a protein treatment after clarifying, but I really wouldn't recommend it until after deep conditioning. Honestly, you can really just skip it.

I know our group is getting large but don't forget about me :-(

To answer the question when I first started my hair journey I wrote down all the staple products I would use. Then along the way I got a little lost in everyone else's recommendations. But now after all that trial and error I'm finding myself going back to my staples and original routine.

I cowshed yesterday, did some dookie twist and almost threw a hat over them today. You might have just beat me in the laziness department.

KiWiStyle SunySydeofLyfe EnExitStageLeft lamaria211 317537 nappytherapy kukaberry Cattypus1 xu93texas Altruisticoam ok crew, i have decided i am going to cut my hair again. just thinking about what Suny said about using to her hair being styled, i need a change. i want a hairstyle, plus it will give me a reason to cut some more of this hair off to start from scratch this year. i want to get an short asymmetrical bob. so i may cut it down neck and ear length. hopefully, i can get it done this week. i don't plan on stretching either. i will go 6-8 weeks at the most. even when this style starts to grow out, i will still have a style.

OMG! I am in exactly the same place! Last night I broke out my shears and did a little snip...took about an inch off the bottom and tried to trim my ends throughout. I was just looking up how to cut layers on the internet. I had some major breakage at my nape and crown last year. It has begun to grow back but it is so uneven that my washday this weekend was a nightmare. The long relaxed ends tangled so badly in places that they just had to go. It was a crazy H.A.M. I trimmed my nape to about 2 inches but now I have a CBL bob kind of cut with that crazy short nape... Not even going to start on that crown. I want a real cut and was too afraid to admit it until now. Thanks for helping me see the forest and the trees.

i am sorry you hair is acting up too! i am just tired! what happened to you is how i ended up just cutting my hair off into a bob. i went to a stylist to just let her even it out. she really didn't need to do much. girl don't let this hair take you to the other side! :lol: if you need to just start fresh, go for it! i just rinsed out the conditioner and detangled my hair. it was hairball city! so many shedded knots.

i did a tea rinse a couple of times and it saved my life. but then it turned on me and started acting like a protein treatment.

Yes tea rinses do the same thing to me. So I have to treat them as a light protein and use a moisturizing conditioner afterwards.

:grin: I looked too, for the free one and I didn't find it. The one on android was .99...I don't want to pay that I want free and the reviews weren't so good, it must be an iphone app?!?!
Click to expand...

I only see one positive review for the iPhone app. I've only been using since 1/01, but it's a very helpful app. There's a diary, calendar, reminders, a place for photos, growth stats and tracker, products, and a place for notes. I also started a profile for my daughter as well.
