I'm going to start buying most of my vitamins at Walmart. Even the run-of-the-mill store brand at Whole Foods is getting too expensive.

When I was first put on Vitamin D, the nurse practioner wrote me a prescription. When the prescription expired and I had my next appointment, the doctor told me to go to Walmart since it was so much cheaper.

I normally buy from CVS, Rite-Aid or Walgreen's when they have buy one, get one free like this week.
 
My hair felt dry this morning since I haven't been moisturizing it like I should. So I wet my ends with water and a little conditioner topped off with some coconut oil. I have the ends of my hair wrapped up in a shower cap to bag for the day hidden under my beanie. Won't be able to wash it until at least Thursday.
 
Well, it looks like I'm going to be transitioning again. While my natural hair was getting my nerves and I relaxed her. Now I miss the old her :cry2:
 
People asked to touch my hair (they were friends, so it was cool), and couldn't stop telling me how soft it felt! Yay! My first "Can I touch yo natural hair" moment!
 
Going to schedule a mid-week co-wash this tonight...think I have some SSKs left over from my disastrous wash day last week...
 
I said I was going to transition but now that might go out of the window. I'm 6 weeks post and my NG is thicker than it was at 4mths.
 
I think I'm going to throw my old KeraCare stuff away. There's not a lot left in the bottles and they expire this year. I don't know what I'm going to do with some of the other products I have that I don't want. Too much left to throw away.
 
The "easier way" thread makes me sad:/ It may not be a popular opinion, but I think there are many black women who feel that their natural hair is too much work.
 
Ogoma I've been doing some diff things to increase my growth. The biggest thing is the fact that I've been doing scalp massages daily, sometime multiple time daily.
 
I know it won't help but I wish my hair would look like something nice naturally.It looks like crap.I wash,dc,prepoo,oil,everything that is in the sisterhood manual and it still just look like crap.Relaxing def will be in the future.I'm not making a statement anymore bc I wear wigs 99 percent of the time anyway.Might as well be able to wear my own hair without all the extra straight.

My hair does feel sorta ok since I haven't moisturized it alot lately since I have been sick I didn't want my head wet..maybe next weekend it will get a good wash.
 
I honestly think that I had an unrealistic idea of what it meant to go natural and be natural. Before I transitied my relaxed hair was actually pretty healthy and was a few inches from BSL. I felt inspired by all of the women who decided to let go of their straight tresses and embrace their natural kinks,curls, and coils and took the initiative to do the same. Now that it I have BC'd and am currently 15 months post from my last relaxer I am kind of bored with my hair.


I thought that I would possibly get more enjoyment out of being natural and would love it more than being relaxed, but my experience thus far has been a little indifferent. I love my hair now just like I loved it then, and I do not see one preference greater than the other regardless of the hair "trends" going on.

Maybe I'm just bored with hair all together at the moment? idk.:perplexed
 
Extensions Plus just came out with a Bollywood Line of Remy hair...don't think I will be the guinea pig....
 
I had a lady make a stupid *** comment about my hair, then turn around and make a stupid *** comment about my body/shape, trying to elevate herself over me/embarrass me.

I'm not one for the, 'People keep asking if I'm mixed!!!' threads, and I'll be damned if someone accuses me of that, so I'll leave the details out. But honestly, sometimes dealing with other black women and hair can be so............ draining. Draining.
 
Detangling time. *sigh* Ok, so now I know braids are not enough. It's time to start banding.
 
Had a good time with my hair this morning! I DC'd on dry, dirty arse hair last night :lol: with AO GBP...

Woke up this morning and did my standard co-wash with Trader Joe's Nourish Spa! Cut the detangling time down to ZERO! I was impressed. Maybe there is something to this Dcing on dry hair thing... hmmm... but seriously, my hair wasn't THAT dirty...in fact, I had just washed it on Saturday. So it was still pretty darn clean...

On another note, coming to terms with the fact that my hair simply likes to get its products and dry on its own w/o help from twists or braids. Twists, although they lead to a bomb a$$ twist out, just leave me with more SSKs than I want to deal with. When I let my hair dry and do its thing, it grows w/o all that stuff. I'm going to listen to my hair! :yep:
