I just want to take down my protective hair style of Princess Leia and scratch my scalp with a comb and wash. Within a few hours later today, I may be going to the mountains for the rest of the weekend (it's like a 45 min. drive away). I'm not trying to catch a cold with all that snow up there. Job #1 resumes Monday and Job #2 on Tuesday. Ain't no way!
 
Just came from having breakfast with my beau. Today taking care of me and my hair. Gotta start off not only 2015 in the right direction, but the work week to come as well.

Colored my hair blonde end of Oct. So this is like 2 months of growth. I got about an inch or so. My nape started at the very top of my collarbone. I use my tat to measure my nape. I'm inching toward the bottom of the heart again, yay.

I took a pic of the front of my hair for my starting pic also so this pic will replace the previous pic I posted a few pages back.

For those who moisturize everyday how's your hair on wash day: still silky, soft, or dry and matted?

I either need to co-wash mid week or change my sealant.
 
^^^ it took me a long time to find out what works best for my hair when it came to moisturizing and sealing. So when I take down my hair, its soft and shiny
 
My hair is soft if I moisturise my hair everyday .. If I leave it a few days it takes a few days for my hair to get back to its usual self
 
I'm back to wearing my wash and go puffs for now. Will rethink braiding my hair some other time

So...I just did a length check annnndd I think I may be approaching BSL. Something must be wrong. Not all of my hair, just my looser texture. Its about a 3a/3b and hangs farther than the rest of my hair. Makes wash n go's look reeeally stupid. Maybe that Green Magiv is working. Either that or SO is really bad at length checks :/

Green magic is really all that. If it didn't make me she'd do much, I would still be using it. Anything on my scalp make me she'd like crazy.
 
I did a mild protein treatment on my hair last night and im back in love with my hair this morning..... we were going through a rough patch, when she needs her protein she gets really disrespectful
 
I am currently in a weave until the 28th of Feb ladies, I figured since they got me to SL so easily they will get me to APL as well. We'll have to see since I've never had that length before and it also doesn't help that I have such broad shoulders. It's funny how I see people with BSL hair say their hair is 12-13 inches and some of mine is also that length but I'm still at SL lol!
 
So someone told me mousse is really good for curling your hair or adding waves when pressed without reverting it. MAN I've been having a fields day!!! Love my mousse. Pics Attached. :) Ahem, excuse the PJ's. For the first one I used flexi rods, second was a braid out, and third is just straight. I used Vigorol Mousse (with Argan Oil Super hold).

Im using green magic too. Its only been a week. Your post is giving me hope.
 
I'm being sooo lazy! My hair is desperately in need of washing and I'm pretending like I don't hear her! :rolleyes: today, today....
 
I'm really enjoying their puddings, creams, and hair and body Butta! I've been using them to keep my moisturized using the LOC method.
 
I've been so hair lazy...my natural hair has been in flat twists since I got my wig. I'm just really enjoying my wigs and feels good to not obsess over my real hair. I just cowash, dc, and m&s and put the twists right back up every week. I actually got bored with the color so I did a not so ombré to it which you will see in the first 2 pics. I didnt like the way it came out it looked too brassy to me bc I forgot to use a toner so I went back in with an ash blonde to tone and it looked horrible lol. It turned the blonde a grayish undertone color. And the curls dropped significantly. I was so mad at myself for that foolishness. I went to BSS and bought aphogee 2 step and did that to it and bought a brown semi and it didn't take well at all. I also bought aphogee 2 min recon to do during the week. I will do the 2 step weekly and see if it'll rectify my curls. Anyway I went back in with what I originally used to get the blonde and turned it somewhat back just not as bright. I could kick myself for this foolishness lol. First two are the first blonde and the others are toned down I think. It doesn't look bad but I'm kicking myself bc everyone kept telling me the first color looked fine but I could see what I didnt like. Sorry so long and I'm sure y'all are tired of my pics but gues what...I don't care lol.

I cant decide if I want to wash and retwist my hair tonight or wait to do it tomorrow. If I dont, I'll just massage with Green Magic and spritz with Juices. I guess tomorrow is better. Idk. Ugh.

I'll at least set up my stuff to prevent more procrastination. I'll cowash with MJ Creme de le Curl, oil rinse with coconut or camellia oil, and DC with Vanilla Silk covered in Design Essentials oil under the dryer. Likely do Mocha Silk on my leave out, followed by Juices and BASK Silk and Honey and Oyin BSP

ETA:Shampooed my leave out with a little Snooth as Silk, dc'ing without heat with Silk Elements MegaSilk. Will do the rest of my hair on Sunday. Maybe...
