I love when my favorite hair bloggers update regularly, but where does one find the money to keep buying new products every week? Or do people order 10 products at once through mail and just review them as they're received?

That took too long! Who did you order from, so we can avoid that vendor?

Looking forward to the review!

MileHighDiva: I bought it from BeautyBay.com. I believe it's based in the UK, so I had to go for international shipping (luckily that was free!). I didn't mind waiting because I was getting the product for half of the original price, but I didn't know it would take THAT long to deliver :nono:. When I contacted the company though, they were very prompt in apologizing for the delay, and they gave me instructions with what to do if it didn't come in the next few days. I appreciated that.

I finally wrote a first impression review of it on my blog (click here) if you're still interested!
 
coming up to my 5 year mark since shaving it all off i am dying to flat iron my hair. i have flat ironed my entire head 3 times in all those years, and as time continues i only get more scared of heat. which may have something to do with the weakness of my hair, the longer it gets gets the weaker it becomes.

sigh
 
I think I might do the no combing challenge, I just separated my hair with just oil and pulled shedded hair out, it went well. I didn't feel like i was pulling my hair occasionally like with a comb. I'm about to do the same after washing and apply my deep conditioner and we will see how it goes, if it doesn't feel evenly coated I will just use on wash days, with grape seed oil and honey mixed
 
Having this bsl weave in is really making me rethink my hair goal. This is actually quite lengthy, I keep laying on it, getting it stuck in seatbelts, car doors, my lipgloss:lol:. My goal used to be wl, but now I don't think I want to deal with anything beyond bsl or at the most mbl.
 
Well I won't be going fully in without a comb. I use shampoo once a month and cleansing conditioner the other three months and today I used my clarifying one mix with my Sulphate free one and I was just going to do finger detangling but that wasn't enough, shampoo really does tangle my hair alot. I was going to use apple cider vinegar after I finished my shampoo but I think next time I will just use apple cider vinegar because shampoo is no good, my new growth was tangled
 
ughh, since I've started ordering hair products online my pj fire has been lit anew lol. I reeeeally need to stop, I DON'T NEED NO MO HURR PRODUCTS.

Are you washing your hair loose? Are u washing with your hair piled on top of your head? Wash your hair in sections or braids in the shower a section/braid at a time with your hair hanging down.

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y
 
Im going to do another year long box braid stint. Im a slow grower and only get about 3.5-4 inches per year. If I leave my hair out that means trimming more often. Last tim I retained all 4 of my inches.
 
I hate -- HATE!!!! -- hate listening to people who sound like a child!

I like this youtuber. But my Lord! Her speech makes me want to dig my nails in a wall and scream. This is like water boarding to me …torture! She looks like she is old enough to be in college but she sounds …..like a three year old.

I like some of her tips but I can't stand listening to her. I have to mute her just to get through her videos.
 
I was people watching in a crowded mall today and I realized that most people's hair, regardless of race, doesn't look that great. When I style my hair I'm always hoping for magazine ad type results, but maybe I'm just not being realistic. Thick (from root to tip), shiny, bouncy, long hair is rare and hard to achieve.

I agree. I noticed this when I started Lhcf and started looking st hair. Most hair doesn't look like much.

I've also started to realize that no one I know realizes that I am failing to grow my hair. I've worked st the same place 5 years and everyone's hair is the same length as when I started.
 
I use to think that white people hair was always the longest but I notice it's not true. There hair grows to be the same length as "black people long hair length"I see more Hispanics than anyone with long hair. White people abuse their hair too much for their hair to get really long. I don't get why your hair is straight but your flat ironing your hair everyday. I know some say to reduce frizz but you could set it on rollers like they use to do back in the day. The more advanced they get with hair gadgets, the more options you get to damage your hair smh and quick too

So i Henna'd last night. Ehh, I think I like cassia better. What bothers me with Henna is according to all my research, I now feel like I can't venture into dyeing my hair whenever I want to. I kind of regret using the Henna for the first time last night because I didn't get ANY color on my hair and now I want to dye my hair to get some color. oh well, I should of thought it out a little more I guess.
I mean what a waste of time, all that hassle and I got NO color at all from it. For that I'll stick to my good old Cassia AND I can dye my hair whenever I want if ever I want.

Henna doesn't color like dye. You didn't discover this in your research?

You get low lights from Henna in the sun. Henna's color builds up with each application. The Henna threads here are very informative.

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y
 
Smiley79, henna color takes a while to build. And you can add things to change the colors. Like cocoa powder for a chocolate red or hibiscus tea for a vibrating copper red.

Even with weekly application it takes about 3 to 4 times to notice anything. After a couple months my hair was very red all over.

It's not a waste of time if you're patient. And for me, dyes disintegrate my hair. Henna makes it thicker and keeps it healthy and is my only alternative for color.

my i love lucie style did not turn out right but to be honest none of my styles turn out how i want it. i don't know what i did wrong, maybe i should do the banana clip side ways to make the curls wider i don't know.....
 
I have been oil cleansing with passion fruit seed oil and my eyelashes are looking thicker/fuller. I thought I had mascara on when I didn't because it looked so full. I think I need to pour more in my hair oil mix. If it works for eyelashes, it should work for hair right?
