Can't wait to see it :yep: Are you taking pics? Mention me when you post, please.
 
Ok, I have a ton of products (really!!!) I swore that after I went HAM on Black Friday that t was not going to but anything else until I started to use some of it up. Why did I go to Rite Aid and see Yes to Blueberries in the clearance bin for $5, I bought one shampoo and three conditioners. I only have one head, I needed the shampoo but I already have a dozen different conditioners. I think I might need a meeting...
 
Why you calling my name? I was just answering a question. :perplexed

AHAHAHAHAHAHA. She is feeling guilty. She knows she was tempting fate. Using both a brush and a hair dryer to use the splitender. Using heat and a brush in order to use the splitender. :sideeye: DarkJoy

Uh-huh. Don't buy something to help your growth and then use two things that can hinder it.

Please don't start off the New Year on a good foot and spend the rest of the year trying to overcome mechanical/heat damage.

Chile......

I need to develop my "dont touch my hair reflexes" everyone at work (and by everyone I mean like 3 people and the same three people) keeping boing-ing my curls and patting my puffs and I dont realize it till they have their whole d*** hand in my head. This is going to be a learning process. I have never had people touch my hair before. White people sure are fascinated by curly hair -_-.
 
I spent new years with family and my aunt told people my hair was long because my grandaddy (My Dads Father) was white.......I was livid.

Then the ball dropped and I sipped a lil' something and feel muchhhhhhhh better now .

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!
 
I feel like I use to have stuff that worked well for my hair in the past..if only I can remember them :wallbash:. This PJ-ism and hair ADHD has me all over the place.

2014 I will stick to what works. Well, once I find them :look: .
 
Soooo umm if I'm to be hiding my hair this year and only having it out 4 times a year....where does that leave my stash, lol ?

Have to get this really planned out. Dec Jan Feb ( take down Feb 21st, rest for two weeks)

That's as far as I can think right now because its a short term goal.
 
I'm aboutthisclose to cutting my hair back to shoulder length because my ends look awful. I have areas of my hair that grow like weeds and others that struggle with constant splits and breakage. I have cut my nape area from nearly BSL back to APL twice in the last year because the area that stretch from ear to ear in the back keeps breaking and is stuck at APL-ish. I'm seriously ready to give this ish up. Maybe I should just wear it curly permanently. It looks fine in that state. I only see the damage when it's straightened....ugh.

My hair held up nicely this week on vacation, but I didn't work out this week. Not sure I can go a week and work out at the same time. I will try it next week and see.
 
I finally figured out spin pins. I hadn't been spinning them, just jabbing them aimlessly at my head. Duh.

This hair journey is a trip sometimes.

Ive been missing my natural hair lately. But oh well.

I forgot how much I like Bedhead Moisture Maniac. Great as a leave in, too.

I spent $35 on some damn argan oil at Kiehls. This ish betta make my hair friggin glorious.

I hope my braid out turns out cute in the morning. I need to feel cute.
 
My hair styled held up nicely the past few days from the curl formers. I was looking for ways to straightened my hair without a lot of heat on a weekly basis. This may be a good alternative.

I'm so happy I invested in a lot of leave in conditioners. I should be good for almost two years.
 
Ok, what the heck is going on???

First my NTM is getting harder to find and now I had to go to two stores to get some ORS Carrot Oil!!!!

I refuse to order my daily staple products online!!

Who's out there buying all my products!!! :fistshake:
 
I don't think I'm doing a hard protein treatment again! When I used the komaza protein treatment it was fine and I didn't lose any hair in two days, but now I'm seeing little broken hairs and I'm not used to that at all. I am slightly freaking out because I don't want no set backs! Come on now, I just did a blunt cut and was so happy

Moisture! STAT!!!

Did you do a moisturizing dc after the protein treatment?

I was already in the shower twice to rinse out the relaxer and then rinse out the protein treatment and to be honest I didn't want to get back in to do a deep conditioner so I applied a moisture conditioner to the four sections and went back to the first section and rinsed it out so it had to be only sitting in my hair like 5 minutes for each section, omg that's what I get for being freaking lazy! But then 6 days later I washed my hair and did a deep conditioner and I still find like little broken hairs, shouldn't that have done something? HanaKuroi , please help me, idk what to do, I don't need a setback! (Wipes tears) should I deep condition again and not even touch a medium protein at all this month?
 
I feel like im starting over again. I went and go my hair professionally straighten and trimmed. Lets just say I got it cut! So upset! They tell you one thing and then cut more. I will not be back there to get a cut anymore! On a mission to do my own hair whatever it takes! I just order hairinfinity so we will see what that does. Hopefully I will be back to near BSL soon!

See man I just can't . I am so tired of these scissor happy stories! I have so many people get their hair "trimmed" and they go around two and three times.. Everybody need to learn to trim their own hair. They only time you should let a stylist use scissors is to get a special cut into a style. Trimming is not that hard. More than likely when you do it, you will cut less and can go back and even it more and still get the look you want

I almost made an appointment to get a flat iron and trim. Then I thought about it for a few days, watched some YouTube videos, bought some new hair scissors and a new blow dryer. I was very happy with my trim that I did. Now to nail down my straighten technique

@Lilmama1011 - I'm not HanaKuroi but if I were you I would apply a garlic/nettle tea rinse under a deep conditioner and let BOTH stay on for at least 2 hours with a plastic cap.
You can add different teas (ie. burdock, black,etc.) but my experience with garlic and nettle is they stop shedding and breakage almost instantly. I don't do my hair without applying some form of rinse with these teas. I purchase fresh garlic solely for my hair rinse. :yep:
Check out the 2013 Coffee, Tea, Rinse challenge. There are a ton of good suggestions in that thread. HTH

ilong can I used minced garlic in a jar :look: and I will try it with the black tea first because I have that and if nothing I will get the nettle tea. And every single wash you do a tea rinse! And then again I might just get the nettle because I'm I have reddish tint to my hair and I don't want my hair dark

if you worried about darkening just used green tea.

You have to do a proper dc after protein no exceptions. Yes, dc again with a product specifically made for deep conditioning. Don't wash your hair, just dc for a couple of hours.

I as trimming but I just thought maybe she knew what she was doing but she didn't. And she layered my hair :perplexed. I can only blame myself. From now on its just me doing my hair! I try to give them my business but it just seems to leave me :evil:. Lesson learned!
