I say yay...except my bra strap is kind of short, there really is no difference between the top of it and the bottom of it...oh well, I'll just pretend.

OK, so, I've just deduced that sometime between the end of December and now, I have suffered some massive breakage. Because, at the end of December (my avatar pic), that little straightened piece? I was able to pretty easily grab it with my hand. Now? I can't. I didn't straighten it again, but my hair is pretty stretched from bunning and I cannot grab that piece of hair anymore :nono::nono::nono:

I think I already know the culprit: rough detangling. I only detangle my hair once a week, when it's wet and conditioned, BUT I can be rough b/c I get frustrated and frankly, I'm impatient. So I vow to give slow finger detangling a try for at least the next 4 washes. I really need to start using a growth aide in my nape area, b/c it sucks...it just plain sucks. LOL. I have some sulphur and I will start using that. That is all. Good night ladies.
 
I'm leaving my twists in for another week, then I'm putting in some mini braids. If I don't, I just may grab some clippers and be bald. I am just tired of my hair.
 
Hi Ladies, I haven't posted in here in a minute because I haven't done anything new to my hair. I wanted to get extension when I got back from Frisco but I'm worried about my edges. I've been trying to thicken them back up since last yr. I'm going to have my hair lightly straighten to surprise DH today. I know he is tired of seeing me in Celie braids :lol:

Whoa whoa whoa...simmer down now!!! You better not do such a thing BraunSugar! What in the world is going on?? Do we need to stage an intervention or something???
 
VENT...well kinda. Guys I'm so tired of popping these pills twice a day, everyday! The cost is killing me because I only want to buy vitamins that are proven to work significantly. I use to take 5 or 6 different vits but have decreased that to 3 now. I take GNC HS&N, GNC collagen (for skin) and Viviscal. I want to take a break but I'm afraid my hairs' health will deteriorate. I've been taking growth aid vits everyday with few fails for almost two years now, I'm tired of taking them and buying them. TBH, because I've been taking them since the beginning of my HHJ, I don't really know my growth rate without them, I remember it being slow in the past but I've changed a lot of bad habits since then. I don't even know if they are working anymore but I do know that my hair would be much, much longer than what it is now if I had not been slowly cutting away my hair over the past 2 years. I practically have a whole new head of hair but 2013 and beyond I will only do light dusting, no more cutting (fingers crossed). Maybe I'm just in a PMS funk, ugh :-(.

KiWiStyle why not just cut it back to once a day instead? That should help them last longer so you don't have to buy them as often and your hair won't be affected as much as stopping cold turkey.
 
Happy VDay ladies!!

Thanks NikkiQ, I thought about that but then I wondered if taking half dose will be as ineffective as taking none. I would stop the Viviscal but the manufacturer says to take them for at least 4 months to see results...I'm in month 3.

On a reflective note I'm looking at my driver's license & I'm chuckling to myself. I have not renewed my pic since '03 & in it my hair was down. At that point in my life it was at its longest it had ever been, & I remember being so proud & getting compliments from my friends. I started thinking I was really swanging some hair. Hot curling it everyday to look good--girrrlll u couldn't tell me NOTHIN! How long was my hair, u ask? A couple of inches ABOVE CBL. LOL! My, how my perspective has changed about what long & healthy hair really looks like. So when I start to get frustrated & ungrateful about this slow growing head of mine...maybe I should remember where I've come from. :)

Got a groupon to one of the two Dominican salons I go to... $19 for blowdry, cut, and style. So I called to make an appt for tomorrow. Of course, I said No haircut. They said would give me a DC instead. I said ok, still a good deal. But then they asked me if I was relaxed or natural. Natural I said. How long is your hair? Um, a little past my shoulders. She said you will have to pay extra. This deal is for short relaxed hair. Really...OMG...so I'm just going to pay regular price? Um, we'll talk tomorrow mami...Stay tuned!

They are trippin!! B/c I know long thick Dominican hair is helluva lot harder than your hair to do. And they probably assumed you were 4b. An injustice either way smh

I'm in that mood too...tired of popping pills and my budget. Tbh I haven't been taking my viviscal faithfully...I usually take 1 a day
 
Question ladies, what's your hair guilty pleasure? Something you know you shouldn't be doing but you can't resist. Mine is the sun-in. It's my favorite thing to color my hair. It's fast, cheap and I always like the results. But I know it's not the healthiest thing to do.

Now you know I'm addicted to dying my hair jprayze. I mean...have you seen this head?? :lachen:
 
In the salon, they just said I need to get my ends trimmed. Not bad it's been 3 months since any type of trim or dusting but still guess what she said after that, it's the color...hmmm

But I'm waiting until after this bc I want to get a full look at whether adding liquid gold to my regi helped.

Preview ;-)

Color. I said I wasn't coloring again until I reached BSL. I have about 3 inches of uncolored roots bugging the crap out of me. I was considering doing some Manic Panic. It won't do much for my roots, but my previously colored hair will be a nice red. The only thing I don't like about it is pink shower & bathtub after a wash. :ohwell:
