People that make statements like, "My hair is mid thigh length but I don't consider it long" or "I'm only toe length" annoy me. I understand that everyone has not reached their goals yet but pretending you don't know your hair is long is just silly.
 
I wonder if I get my hair grow .5-1" inch a month and stop my severe breakage even more now that I'm taking iron pills. (Just found that I'm low in iron). I can't wait to see results by the end of this summer.
 
Tried TRESemme split remedy conditioner and Suave Keratin Infusion conditioner. :nono: One or both has my hair feeling dry, dry, DRY! Why don't I just stick with what I know works?

I'm thinking the TRESemme made my hair feel coated. Plastic-y. I really only used it on the ends. The Suave felt good going on. Even felt like it gave my hair some slip. I only intended to use that on my ends too but ended up taking it up a lil further because it felt nice. :nono: Dis some bull right here. :ohwell:
 
As much as I hate to admit it, I'm one of "those" women when it comes to natural hair. I liked it better when I was just a needle in a haystack. Now I'm just one of many :(

lol I hear you.. :lol:. When I was a loose natural I was one of a few but when I had locs I was kind of annoyed to see so many other lock-head poppin up in my area (silly I know). Now that I'm relaxed again I'm seein that having nice, healthy looking relaxed hair puts me in the minority again. However I don't feel great about this because 'to up relaxed heads kind of sadden me... nothin to gloat over.. I hate seein black women look bad when they don't have to.

But yea, you might have to get a Seaborn type hook-up to stick out nowadays :lol:

Hairnorexia is real!
 
pookaloo83, I had a permanent jet black color applied at an Aveda salon. I was too afraid to dye my own hair because I wasn't sure what to do since I had been bleached before.

I was just about to get that tonight but I realized I left my free coupon at home. Praying it doesn't cause any dryness or tangling issues.
 
I'm annoyed with my hair.
I cut it, and now my ponytail is really short and silly looking. My hair only looks good when it's straightened/styled somehow. I just can't do that tho, I work out and my roots puff up, plus ... I have new growth. I could never rock short hair while always having it look good b/c of the maintainence involved. Luckily, my hair grows seemingly fast.

I'm even more annoyed with trying to keep it straight. I'd like to transition to being a heat trained natural but for once, I feel a bit clueless in that area. I can't get the hang of the flat iron and my flat iron jobs suck. I'm thinking if I got it flat ironed professionally maybe my hair wouldn't revert as much when I exercise? Idk...

Wigs and weaves are not an option either. If I do get a weave, it's def not something I can see myself wearing for too long.
 
I love LHCF and I honestly don't know where my hair would be without it (prolly in a fly @ss pixie cut, honestly). But sometimes I have to remember that I live IRL, and every rule that applies here doesn't apply to me and my hair. Sometimes I get so anxious thinking about things, like say flat ironing.... because so and so did a thread on heat damage and now her curls won't bounce back, and she has to transition for 98 months all over again....... then I have to remind myself to chill. :lol:
 
I used ecostyler to do these twists and they dried a bit crispy, but that wore off and they are super soft now! Must be the castor oil I put under it...loving it! Will probably try the argan oil ecostyler or make some flaxseed gel next.
 
winona They do international shipping yaaaaaassss its ON!!

Fragrance oils are my ADDICTION!! im making up a list to buy end of the month...:look::lol:
