meaner in my old age or something

went to get some stuff from sally's since i havent been there in a while to the point that i dint even know my card had expired..so i renewed and paid for a new card and as i was gathering myself this ww slid up beside me on line talking about oh new card nice, can i use it for my puchases..for some reason i just glared at her and was like oh you can get one here too..she was like oh my expired and i dont want to pay for a new one, i was just like oh ok. no thank you and left

odd since normally i let people use store cards9although those cards are usually free), but nothing wrong with helping people get discounts, but the fact that she stood around waitring for ME to spend money to get a card then wanna gain the benefits..gtfoh. Im mad that I was kinda feeling bad. bah humbug.
 
glad i used grapeseed oil for this oil rinse and not avocado that many blogs suggested. I reckon it would have been too heavy
 
Angry I left too much hair out in the front and it's just not easy to blend, I need to get my hair done again but idk yet
 
I just discovered today that my hair has grown out enough to wear a low, loose ponytail/puff without getting a headache. YAY! Nice surprise.

It was the presumptuousness that bothered you. It would have bothered me too especially if it's on a bad day.
 
"If you love it, it will grow"
I finally gave my hair some tlc last night. I cowashed, detangled, sealed with evoo and rebraided it. I was afraid of cowashing my celies, but it actually wasn't that bad
 
When my hair was relaxed, I considered the hair at the nape of my neck the "nappy hair."
When I was first natural, I thought that hair was my "tightest" curls.

Now I think that area is my most beautiful curls. Back there is straight up long pretty boing boing curls. What I wouldn't give for those curls all over now. The hair in the front is more s-curls, wavy and frizzy.
 
I need to figure out how to do a half up/half down hairstyle that won't make me look like I'm 15! Maybe as my hair gets longer I won't look as young.
 
I washed my hair with Ion Hard Water shampoo this weekend. My hair has been super dry for years and I've tried all kinds of conditioners and leave-ins trying to fix it.

This shampoo is the truth. My hair hasn't felt this good in years. My new growth is super moisturized my ends aren't frizzy and dry. My hair no longer feels like straw. So, if you've been struggling with straw like dry hair try a hard water shampoo.
 
I have been on a search and destroy mission since Saturday night. I know some think it's tedious, but it's super cathartic to snip those raggedy ends away. I haven't had a professional trim in 6 months, but I got one last Wednesday. My stylist evened it out, but I've been going in and attacking more hair. My hair looks healthy, but looks can be deceiving - so deceiving.

My hair feels so much better! My natural hair doesn't break as much, but I think I'm one of those people who can say that the splits do travel. It's like they don't want to break off! I may finish today, but only half of my head has been completed.

As of today, I am vowing to lightly dust my ends every week at every wash, so it won't seem too bad to lose length. My hair is fine, but dense. What I have learned in these past 6 years is that trimming IS necessary for MY hair. I have stayed at MBL because of it. I know my hair is growing just fine; however, I am not retaining my growth because of the lack of trimming. I've been working out and eating good whole foods (minus some treats in between), so I know I'm doing something right.
 
Why are bun tutorials for relaxed hair so one note!? All I see are high buns/ top knots, bun with a twist or a braid.....and that's about it. I gotta venture out to find something new.
 
After this year, no active protective styling. I just want to enjoy my hair.
If I could I'd wear a WnG 24/7, I would. My hair just shrinks down so much but I've come to accept that is what it is.
After I grow back the spots that depo ravaged ( hopefully by Dec 2014) I'm done. I'm going to take really good care of my hair and continue to take my vitamins but this always protective styling is out the door.
 
Thinking of trying this oil washing on my natural like this British sister in the YT below. Looks soooooo good and shiny. Might even beat SSKs from WnGs! Allergic to castor oil, though. Might try it with lanolin and a ceramide to thin it a bit since lanolin is thicker than castor.

Shiny, Glossy, Natural Hair

Doesnt replace regular washing like she says. But might be nice right before clarifying.

No one should sleep on cocoa butter. I melt that plus shea, plus mango together and my ends have a little party when I seal with it. :drunk:

Since my hair hates palm and shea, I avoided all butters like the plague for years. However, over the past 4 months of experimentation, I learned that mango and cocoa provide me with a sick amount of softness and moisture retention (my hair will have that cold, "is it still wet?" moisturized feeling for days). Cocoa butter smooths my hair out and lays it down like nobody's business. It's up there on the Olympic podium alongside castor and babassu. I want to try tucuma and cupuacu butters next.
 
I've been so frustrated with my hair recently because it's always getting stuck in my purse strap, but the fact that it's long enough to get caught in my purse strap means that it's growing. I think I'll finally hit shoulder length in another one or two relaxers if I don't have any setbacks.
 
I am loving the thickness of my hair. When I applied my conditioner and twisted my four sections up I wanted to cry how thick one part was. Just in December my hair looked so thin and wispy and I retained some good length
