Waist Length 2013

I wrote a vent in the WL 2012 thread, but I'll do it here too.

So I've been kinda unhappy with my hair recently. I'm pretty much BSL, but I'll claim BSB instead. And I'm honestly trying to see how long it can get. But I might have to move to. BSL 2013 if I don't get out of this funk.

So back in February I fully highlighted hair honey blonde. It was beautiful and I absolutely loves the color. But now I just want my hair back. I have about 5 inches of "new growth" and it just FEELS sooooooo much better than my straw like blonde. So I've REALLY been thinking of doing another big chop.

I thin what I'll do is keep growing it, tone the blonde down, but just try to see how long it can still get. But if in another year I'm unhappy... I'll be in a shoulder length challenge lol.

Okay, stepping off my soapbox lol.

Why chop all your hair off tho? With color you just have to keep it more moisturized than non colored hair.

Just let it grow out and tone down the highlights. Make sure your ends are EXTRA moisturized and sealed. :yep:

The thing is... I do all that lol. I moisturize and seal all the time just about every other day i PS too (simply because my hair is a lot to deal with, as I'm sure other naturals sometimes feel too.) Plus my hair texture is just weird.

But I am going to continue to grow out my hair. Just to see how long I can deal with it. I know IF I did decide to cut off the color, by the end of next year I'd be at least CBL and possibly my longest layer grazing APL. So I'm not too concerned in that realm.

Thanks though... I've gotta stop being so dramatic with my hair lol.
 
I've been under the weather but the good news is, my hair has had very little manipulation. It's in mini braids and in a high bun underneath a satin bonnet and wool hat.

A few times when I was able to leave the bed, I would wet my hands and use them to dampen my hair. Then I'd rub in some oil.

I plan to blow out for my graduation next weekend so I didn't want to my hair to suffer too badly before applying the heat.

Now I wonder how these steroids and antibiotics are gonna affect my hair...
 
Prepping for a touch up this weekend by deep conditioning with protein and moisture. And then hiding under my half wig until Friday night. Can't wait!

Wishing you a speedy recovery. I know it's hard for a LCHFer (myself included) not to be concerned about hair but please concentrate on your health and getting better. :grin:
 
well I am home from the hospital and they think it is multiple sclerosis and I have more test and doctor visits.

The first thing I did when I got home got in the shower to wash my hair it is hanging on my back again yaaaa. so I am back to co washing again. and better news than that. come contacting me that knows how much I love mixed chicks to let me take theirs off their hands yaaaa. I just love it. I saved money and I have enough to last for a year or even more.

I see it is very quite around here. Oh I forgot it is shopping season.

No words, but :grouphug:
 
Shadiyah, I hope everything works out for you.

I actually have a bottle of Mixed Chicks and I hate the stuff. PM me if you'd like it (for a small price lol). If not, that's fine too!
 
I understand the time of year it is but really really it is kind of quite here. I like bagging but I can not stand that elastic around my head all night and just when I was going to say I can use plastic wrap or even a plastic store bag I just decided to wrap my plastic cap around the ponytail only with my ponytail holder. I think this will work well for me because my ends will get the benefit.
 
Shadiyah...i'm sorry about ur diagnoses. :( :hug3: stay strong!

I have been pretty sick today. I caught this bug that's been going around w/fever, achy body...sinus headache.

My hair has just been chillin under my bonnet all day.
