after taking a break from flat ironing my hair for almost 3 months (i did flat iron a few times..and yesterday)

i hate my hair straight. esp at this length, curly hair or twists are for me.(never thought id say that...ever) .maybe until my hair gets longer and i can appreciate long straight hair...in the mean time 2 inches to sl isnt cutting it and i hate it. gonna try to wash every other day max, gotta figure out how to keep my curly styles until i instll my twists back.
 
Love wearing medium twists, twistouts, braidouts, etc but hate the ssk's that come along with them. I can't keep my hands out of my hair either.

Thinking of buying and wearing a short wig as a ps for the next two months. :scratchch I really want to make BSL this year.

I just got almost three Inches of my hair cut and I still see splits. smh I think this is the nature of my hair. OAN I so bad want to be waist length by the end of the year or at least close to it. I need to search some threads to see how long it takes to get from BSL to WL.
 
My roommate (who is a redhead white girl) used to say I was obsessed with my hair and why was I doin so much.

Its funny how now whenever she has hair problems she asks me what to do/ if she can use my hair products and is surprised when what I say works.

I must have had a growth spurt last night because suddenly my roots feel much fuller plus its started to tangle. Thank god for mane n tail, otherwise I would probably be left with no hair on my head. May have to get back on the dcing bandwagon till my next TU

Depends on your height and your waist. I'm 5'4.5" and at BSL. I have 6" exactly to go to WL and 3" exactly for MBL. IOW, i will probably be seeing WL the end of this year. Measure your back or get a tshirt to be sure.

I should've put my hair in a bun this morning until I'm able to trim. But nooooo, I wanna walk around w/ my hair all out looking straggly.(sp?)
 
I trimmed my bsl hair even for the first time in five years. The top of my hair has been longer by 3 inches, then 2 inches, then 1 inch and I finally said, what am I waiting for?

I had to grow the back out from scratch after my hair started to break in the back only. I used Mizani Treatment on the back, Vitamin E and lots of deep conditioning, minimal heat and gentle care. I think wearing twist outs is when I really saw the back take off!

I'm somewhere right above BSL with these natural roots and texlaxed ends. So...I'm happy. I look back and I'm like well my goal was collarbone length and I surpassed that - anything else is just a bonus!

I might let it grow to mid-back length, I might keep it trimmed and then layer it. At this point I'm just thankful to have options and healthy, long hair.
 
My SO is a really good guy. I couldn't help but to smile as I watched him help his mother to smooth out her relaxer this weekend. I cringed at the fact she put it on from root to tip and already has thin hair. But since I know I couldn't say anything, I just kept my mouth closed and watched him smooth out the back of her nape and hairline. With 3 sisters and a mother he seems to know what he was doing.
 
Tonight my energy is going to go in trimming my ends. For real - for real this time. ;)

Set backs are so real ladies!! *no fun* :(
 
I was flipping through my InStyle special edition hair issue and imagine my surprise when I see a section about transitioning!


I definitely did not expect to see that....
 
Bobeam shampoo bars are so darn small :( I'm used to Chagrin valley sizes..lol.

I like that instructions come with them!
 
Setback? pre_medicalrulz

I'm ready for my weave next month :look: I got a trim I needed but didn't want :sad: I've had virtually zero breakage since then so someone tell me to shut up please.
 
My curls came back. Thank goodness. Overall I had a good salon experience but I'd rather stay a DIY'er.
 
I accidentally realized that I can have the look of a decent puff with my hair pulled into a ponytail which means in spite of all the setbacks & my recent trim it must be growing.

(please excuse my skin & crazy brows :drunk:)

would it be absolutely ludicrous to run on the treadmill with rollers in my hair? :lol:
 
I've had my weave in for over a month and I kind of miss my real hair. I was going to take it out, relax, then have it re-installed a couple of weeks later. Now I'm tempted to just leave it out and deal with my own hair, but I still want long hair so I'm not sure what I'll do. *sigh*
 
After my Awapuhi Ginger oil from Organix is done, I think I want to try some Chi Silk Infusion... that's an old product I've always wanted to use that everyone seems to love, plus you don't need a lot of product and it doubles as a heat protectant for the times I actually remember to use it.

I LOVE silk infusion. Like you said a lil goes a long way so it lasts forever.

At the gym?

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y
 
Trying to decide if I should go back to DCing 2x a week. It just seems like so much more work though.....

I'm assuming the treadmill is in your home, if so, the only reason wearing rollers & running on your treadmill would be nuts is if you sweat in/on/from your scalp & the reversion would prematurely ruin your hair or if you run hard enough to make the rollers loosen/fall out before your hair sets.
 
Sitting in tiny bantu knots all day. Hopefully they look ok for reception tonight
