The Misto oil mister makes prepooing fast and easy. I should have tried this sooner.

Time for a blow out and professional trim. I'm thinking September 1st before I go to Philly for the Made in America festival.

Going to dry shampoo my scalp, use s towel to soak some residue up, spray it down with my spray (soak call and braids) and put grapeseed oil on my scalp and use hot head to infuse moisture into hair in scalp for half hour

I went swimming in the ocean yesterday and the salt water reacted with the product in my hair and made this white sticky mess at my scalp. I hardly ever use shampoo, but I had to in order to get it out. I wonder what it was? I only use grapeseed oil, DB transitioning creme and DB leave in conditioner in my hair. But that residue was sticky and white. Maybe I need to shampoo more often. Hmmmmm

Made an appt for this Friday, going for a blowout and a trim if I need one. Hopefully I won't.

Redid my wash and go, used Tresemme naturals and SM CES. Added some EVOO too, stretching now while it dries.

When you've achieved a decent twist out and have to dive in a barrel of water to retrieve your house keys leaving half your upper body soaked from head to bra.
This is also " Third world problems".

I'm loving long Marley braid twists. I think it's gonna be my PS of choice once this hair becomes a bother to handle.

I would really love to get my hands on some MT, it's one of a few things holding me back on fully deciding to go natural b

I wish it was easy to grow hair, And grow it sure fast, I may need prayer and fasting for this one, I broke a promise and now I have regrets. Will I be forgiven? Only time will tell.

I get my best results air drying. By the time I'm done applying product (I go back to front ) I'm not dripping wet. I also generally only style once a week on the weekend. During the week I wet and shake in the morning. The times I have used a dryer with or without diffuser results in extra frizz. The more I did wash n goes the easier and better I got. Product application/technique where the most important things for me. Working in small sections yield the best results for me.Tried (and mostly failed at) a wash 'n go today. Everything was going fine till I used the blowdryer with the concentrator nozzle to dry it in a rush... Guess I'm gonna need a diffuser before I try again.

I'm the kind of nincompoop that waits till I have to go somewhere before experimenting with my hair. Air drying really has been working out better for me on a whole so I should have figured. Thanks though, I'm gonna wait till I have some more free time before trying again.

I totally understand the waiting to the last minute. I think that's why I've been unsuccessful with twist outs and braid outs (they never dried in time). They always result disaster for me and I end up having do a wash n go instead. I'm a procrastinator by nature. I may try them in the future but right now wash goes are my go to.
Yesterday I was at an new acquaintances house. She got to talking about her dye job and noticed the highlights in my hair (she knows I'm wearing fake hair atm). So she gets to touching it, then finds my closure. As soon as I explained what it was she jumped up and started pulling my weave up around the edges to look and feel :/ Then she starts travelling around the back for more investigation. I said no and to stop politely, but she's like "let me look, its interesting!" -_-.
I wasn't in the best of moods so maybe I'm overreacting. I just wish she would have asked permission at least seen as we don't know each other that well. To keep touching me after I said to stop annoyed me also.

Feeling up on someone's head after they asked you to stop is weird, especially if you aren't doing their hair. I don't like people touching me, especially without my permission, so I don't think you're overreacting. Pulling your weave up to look and feel and looking around your whole head? Odd. Has she never seen weave before?
I don't think she knows how weaves are attached. If she had asked me I could have directed her to a youtube video instead 
She's also suggested I change my hair to a style that she prefers on a couple of occasions. One time we saw a woman with wavy braids and she said "I love this style, you should have it like that, instead of this". Yesterday, again, she asked about my hair and I said it's natural, so then she was going on about me having a relaxer and a graduated bob -_-.
This would be fine if I was asking for style advice, but I wasn't
. I don't think she realises she's being rude, but I'm still getting irritated. Bit of a mismatch.
