:lachen: When I got my hair straightened for the first time in years, it rained for like a week straight. Like it was freaking down pouring and I was soooo mad, but my hair didn't poof or anything. It was freaking amazing :grin:. Last month when I straightened my hair it also rained, and my hair didn't revert. I didn't use any good products and got salon results, so I'm assuming a good blowdry and the flatiron temperature are the parts that matter.
 
I love my new growth its very responsive to the products I use, but I hate my texlaxed ends no matter what I put on it, its hard. This is going to be a long transition :(
 
I found a salon that I really want to try. Its a natural hair salon but I'm like 6 months post with a lot of newgrowth and texlaxed so I figured I would try it out. But on their FB page I saw a status that said natural hair is much more versatile than relaxed hair and I know thats not true. Now I'm debating if I should go or not because I don't want anybody to be biased toward me and I know I'm not going natural. :perplexed: I just don't trust regular stylists who 1) don't have much experience with this much newgrowth or 2) use 80% natural hair products. I don't like when "naturals" try to knock relaxed hair. I believe all hair is versatile and beautiful and my stylist should feel the same.
 
The hair on the back of my head is at APL. I'm claiming it! lol. Even tho the hair on the sides of my head still have a good 2 more inches to grow.

On that note, I now understand how some of you ladies have hairorexia :/

But I was super surprised to find out today that I was able to reach behind my back and grab my hair. I've never been able to do that before!
 
I need to quit it with these four ponytails I've been rocking all week. Looking like I'm straight out of the Color Purple. sigh
 
The PJ in me is waking up somehow... I want to buy a lot of hair products but the thing is, I have a weave right now! Argg... I remember how that Jasmine and Henna Fluff Eaze by Lush felt in my hair... It was so luscious, so yummy, smelling so good... but 23 bucks though... is it worth it? I also want to purchase a bunch of powders - Cassia, Amla, Hibiscus-, I want to try those Carol's Daughter products, go bad to the 3 minutes miracles of Aussie moist, get some spirulina... God knows I need help.

Carols daughter is alllllllllways having sales. Don't worry about CD. Buy that later. Personally, I don't like her products anymore. They were great back in the day, but formulas changed for marketability.

Hennasooq had a great sale on powders last BF.

Tell me more about fluff eaze. :)

Henna Fluff eaze was THE BOMB! I kept it for 20 minutes and my hair was very yummy afterwards, easy to detangle, very very manageable, I almost didn't need to section my hair to do anything. I think that's why I'm thinking about going back to it lol :yep:
 
Going to get my hair flat-ironed on Monday and I'm sitting here worried that a) my hair isn't APL in the back like I hope it is b) the 6 months I waited to trim results in a lot of hair that will be needed to cut off c) the thinness of the front of my hair being worse than I think it is.

I just need a clean/fresh start. Hopefully this appointment will be that for me.
 
Finally got my hands on the Darcy's Botanicals Pumpkin Seed conditioner. Now I'm fighting the urge to wash my hair right now so that I can try it!


I like how this BSS in Alexandria carries a lot of the natural lines (Darcy's Botanicals, Qhemet Biologics, KBB, Bee Mine, etc.) but for some of those products, the prices are crazy!! $41 for some deep conditioner?
 
Got my hair straightened for the first time in nearly 3 months and it looks slightly shorter. My stylist did trim the ends but only by 1/2 inch. I thought I'd have some noticeable growth at this point with my hair being in twists. I'm going to wear my hair straight for a few weeks to give my hair a break and I'm going back on Hairfinity starting today.
 
Day 6 of the inversion method complete. One more day and I'll be done for the month!
I can't wait to take my weave out and baby my hair...
By the way, I have a question. How long does it take for Curlmart products to get to you ladies? Seems like I've been waiting for a week, paying 13 bucks of shipping smh...
 
Happy to say I had the moment when you look in the mirror and don't even know it's you cause my hair was so long!!! Yay for a double take.
 
Went ten the BSS and got some barrett's for my daughters also picked up some bendy rollers for me the orange ones. Now to master the art of using them.

These curlformers hurt like a :censored: I want to take them out. Now. Sigh. :look: Beauty is pain. Even when you're not wearing it as a style the next day.

I have used them 3 weeks in a row and my only hurt when I put it too close to my scalp. Once I moved it down, it stopped hurting.
 
I am loving my hair so much these days I am scared something bad is about to happen. :lol: Everything is on point. I wish I started this journey sooner. I would be at my goal by now. Will trim back to the top of my BS next weekend. At this rate, I will be MBL in March and possibly WL in the fall. Final goal is W-Hip early 2015.

Life is on point for me right now. Everything is going so well externally, internally, and emotionally, I am waiting for the other shoe to drop.
 
My hair felt pretty nice this week considering I almost completely neglected it and tied it up in a bun every day. Today I finally DC'd with SE MegaSilk Moisturizing Treatment. My hair always dries so soft and *fluffy* after this DC.

My hair actually felt and looked better before I put in leave ins, IMO...I think my hair's suddenly side-eyeing my CON leave in. I hope not because I have 2 bottles to use up. My hair loved it until this point so Idk what's up. Maybe its a build up reaction, probably just needs a good wash to get the same effect again. Lacio Lacio still works like a dream though
 
I may have to cancel my next touch up....money's lookin a little tight! I don't want to stretch too much longer though...
 
I'm so tired of this weave, but I'm only a few inches away from my ultimate goal. Maybe I need to experiment with new styles or new hair. I'm scared I'll ruin all my progress without a sew-in.

Enjoy what you have right now - don't wait for the other shoe to do whatever it's going to do. If it's going to drop - it's going to drop. Deal with it when it happens!:yep:

Bask in today's joy!!
 
Feeling hair lazy last couple of days. Need to get motivated and get movin' only 7 months to reach first goal .
