Thinking of starting a vitamin, don't know what kind though?

I'd start with prenatals and see how it goes from there. I try not to do single, specific vitamins unless they aren't included in some type of multi vitamin or recommended by a doctor...I believe that the prenatal vitamins, among other things, help keep my skin, hair, nails and everything else healthy.

I adore my lila rose flexi clips! Got a couple on black friday. I ordered an xl and a l but they sent me two xl for the same price :) this is a happy accident because a large wouldn't have fit my loose natural hair.
Now I just have to get better at my updos. They currently uhh...leave a lot to be desired. Especially on really old twists.

I LOVE Flexi clips! And yes...Larges are actually "Smalls" when it comes to natural hair. I have 2 larges and I need XL and up to be able to put my hair back. Unless i slick is back straight out of the shower lol!
 
I am trying so hard to resist the urge to wash my hair. I really want to wear a wash and go all winter but then again I want to see how my hair responds to washing with shampoo every 4 to 6 weeks and water rinses once a week while doing no/low manipulation styles. Regimen tweaking is so hard sometimes.
 
I really want to color my hair again but I kinda don't see the point. I plan on protective styling until May 1st so it's not like the color will be on full display.

Also thinking about going back to wigging it. Truly miss the ease of wigs. I may get myself a new one for Christmas. Or try to make one with this hair I have. I'd really love a sew in but that would require coloring my hair back black since my weave is black. But I don't want black hair again...well not right now anyways.

Still trying to resist washing tonight
 
Today I said F it and decided to re-blow and straighten after the plastic bag fiasco on tuesday. I couldn't stand it looking a mess like it was. So I shampooed with dish soap, deep conditioned and detangled with mane n' tail. And I just finished blow drying my hair and I have no damage. No flyaways, no thinning, no breakage, no split ends. I was always told to wait at least a week or two before I could apply heat to my hair again. I'm beginning to think maybe our hair can take much more heat than previously thought. Of course, I have to wait until reversion day to come back and confirm this.

Is this a typo?
 
I just flatironed my hair, then tried to flip the front and the curl the ends underneath. It didn't come out the way I wanted it to. I have to have pictures taken with my boyfriend and it's on a Sunday and the Dominican salon is closed. I know if I go have my hair flatironed at Mastercuts their going to want to trim the ends to be even and I might fall for it as of now because I don't like the way my hair came out. So I put it back in a ponytail and keep twirling the ends hoping when I take the ponytail down it'll fall right. The ends feel good and it doesn't feel dry. I don't know if it's because it's all one length or what. This is a trial run for picture day and also my hair has been back in a bun for like two weeks straight and I need to let it out.
 
I'm torn between cowashing daily and washing with shampoo once a month while doing water rinses weekly. I think I'm going to try daily cowashes until the end of January to see how my hair responds.
 
My new-growth is feeling kind of thick. I can barely get my hands through my scalp. I just relaxed my hair before my birthday in October. I have been snacking on these dried cranberries and raw almonds though. I am curious to see what my hair looks like once I relax it, since it did sustain a bit of damage.
 
Think I'll get some Freetress. Been wanting to do crochets but I have wiggy-looking bulk hair.


Anyhoo, anybody try the "new" Silk Elements Moisturizing Conditioner? I swear this stuff has changed from that very mineral-oily type product when they first came out. I have bought them in the past but the conditioner was , meh. This time around, man, I dunno what they did but it's not greasy and my hair drank it in like water. Second day, warm water rinse in the shower and the conditioning is still there!
 
I think I figured out a solution! When I go to Mastercuts on Sunday to have my hair straightened (flatironed) and they ask me the never fail question: "Do you want me to even up your hair (cut it). I'm going to say " Can you just curl the ends under, because I'm trying to grow it long and I'm even in a length challenge." Because I really don't want to go from APL back to SL. And I just redid my hair and watched my tutorial on how to flip the front and it looks good. You have to conceal the uneveness. But it will always be uneven because the nape and crown grow differently than the rest. So why lose all that length? I'd like to say thank you to LHCF because without you all I'd probably be the victim of the haircutting vicious cycle insanity, lol.

Loving Freetress Heaven! This wig really looks like my hair when it is straightened! No weird shine or weird texture. I see why so many people love it....

I looked it up on YouTube and it IS nice! Once I master this wig situation (getting my hair underneath and laying FLAT), I want it!
