PLEDGE TO MY HAIR

[keelioness]

What do you pledge to your hair next year and beyond? I'm so sick of knowing better yet not doing better.. I went to a new stylist to get flexirods..she said she didn't think It'd look right because I need a trim..long story short she trimmed it too short, no DC.. and flat ironed it damn near to death. I do a much better job on my own.

I pledge to my hair to NEVER have anyone besides myself flat iron, wash , detangle, or blow dry my hair and only go to a stylist for a braid/ weave install if need be!

What do you pledge to your hair 2012 and Beyond??

 

[Meemee6223]

As I have said before, my stylist cut my hair from bsl to sl, when I asked for a TRIM! My hair grew so long and thick when I was pregnant and I'm afraid I won't get it back. I promise my hair I will not allow anyone to touch these tresses unless it's for braids. I also pledge not to flat iron on super high heat.

I pledge to never again use heat weekly. I pledge to DC at least 1X a week.

Meemee6223 pregnancy is such an awesome time for hair.. You can get it back..It might not happen as quickly but it will happen. Just stick with your reggie..I feel your frustration!

I pledge to my hair that i will baby it and treat it as another part of my body not just an accessory that can be fried, dyed, chopped, pulled and twisted. I wouldnt do that to any other part of my body so why should my hair get all the agony.
I pledge to be better!

 

[MsChelle]

I pledge to my hair that I will deep condition more often, back away from the heat and learn some new styles! I rely too heavily on flat irons and blow dryers. I constantly bun or wear a ponytail because I have convinced myself I don't have enough hair to do any other styles. Silly, I know.

I PLEDGE NOT TO CUT IT FROM HIP LENGTH TO APL LIKE I DID THIS YEAR LOL!!!

I pledge to moisturize it consistently and I pledge to be the only person to work on my hair this year.

I pledge to try oils and mixing ingredients...My lazy butt needs to be MBL (even if it is by 1 strand by the end of next year...and I think this will help)

I pledge that I will ps my hair most if not all of this winter. I live in a tundra zone and wool coats and sweaters will destroy my ends if I'm not careful.

I pledge that I will have a great journey to WL by loving and embracing my hair- frizz and all lol.

[keelioness]

kupenda..which oils are you using?

 

[kupenda]

pre_medicalrulz girl I looovvveee a fresh blowout. But I hate the breakage afterwards. I ask them to put a little CHI Silk Infusion (i bring my own) in my hair before they roll it and that has greatly decreased the excess breakage. They don't usually use a heat protectant at the one I go to. Does the salon you like normally do that?

kupenda..which oils are you using?

keelioness girl, I am not picky about my oils. At least, not usually lol. I put hemp oil in my DCs and massage my scalp with either castor oil or a mix of oils. My current mix is castor oil, avosoya oil from hairveda ( my new fave! I will surely be repurchasing!), a few drops of rosemary eo, and some jojoba oil. I like it but I'm gonna stick to castor oil massages as soon as I get a new bottle. Castor oil is amazing. It really works well for me. My ends love it and my hair has grown from using it consistently. Oils are my main staples. I will buy oil before I buy shampoo so yeah...it's serious out here lol

Hair, I pledge to stop experimenting on you! I've hurt you so often with my little episodes of trial and error. I know I like to try new things but I promise to stop, unless you specifically tell me you are lacking something. I know what you like and what you're comfortable with, and I pledge to stick with that.
Scouts Honor!

I PLEDGE...
to throw on a doggone bonnet before I go to bed NO MATTER WHAT!
To stop being so lazy with my hair just because my hair type does kinda let me get away with it.
Two words....Cassia obovata

 

[Spongebob]

I pledge to

- Shift my focus TOTALLY from length to strength and thickness

- never touch my hair with heat EVER in 2012. (gave my straightener to my housemate who moved back to nigeria)

- never wash it with hot water. (warm at the most)

- not allow it to tangle badly (happens when u don't comb after washing, when u sleep on your hair out)

- follow a truly simple routine. of washing when dirty, moisturizing when dry. leave it alone when it doesn't need anything!

- to continue the diet i've started 4 days ago, of extreme fruit/veg juicing and clean proteins

- to continue the exercise routine i've started 4 days ago. (increasing red blood cells, increasing heamoglobin, increasing O2 content of cells)


- AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, learn to be content with what I have. the hair texture I have will never change, NEVER. so learning to love it would help. I hope that by the end of 2012 I have come to accept my hair THE WAY IT IS.

- I also pledge to keep up to date with the forum and increase my knowledge. as ignorance is truly bliss
