seriously that is crazy... I thought they have all touch already don't they know there are no more freebies :lachen:
 
Despite my impatience and greed my hair IS starting to FEEL long...I also find I need a touch more product to get an even distribution lately:grin:
 
I did a length check last night and was disappointed that I hadn't seen a huge amount of growth. Then I reminded myself that it had only been a month. LOL!

My hair is holding up pretty well with the rollersetting and daily M&Sing, so I plan to keep it up. If I want to reach WL this year I can't have a single setback.
 
I trimmed this past weekend and did a thorough detangling with a comb. I've been finger detangling for the most part but that doesn't do a thorough job. I'll probably start detangling with a comb at least once a month now. I have also been using Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Style Conditioning Milk to moisturize daily. It's ok I guess but I will not be buying it again when it is done. I also purchased Laila Ali Hair Dryer for my deep conditioning. My hair felt so great when I applied heat to my DC. Not sure why I was holding out on that goodness!
 
Wash day today, have to say I love macadamia oil deep repair mask.
My hair is feeling fab!

And had an inch/ close to an inch of growth this month! I think..

of course : it was just 2 months.
 
I slept overnight in a dc and my hair feels great. I am falling in love with Giovanni products. I never thought i would love a thin conditioner but it makes my hair feel so good and detangles very good.

SmilingElephant where are you?????

id love to try out giovanni products but...i need to finish everything in the bathroom . ive got LOTS. :-( i.might give away more products....im.not using them
 
I used a blow dryer for the first time in three yrs. Three hours later this is what I ended up with. I plan on straightening tomorrow so right now it's up in a high puffy bun. I was so nervous because i haven't worn my hair straight in over three years. I also trimmed an inch off. Definitely needed it. I will post a pic of my hair straightened. I hope to get to midback by the end of the year. I'm on it with my vitamins, juicing, and working out.

I used grapeseed oil and aveda serum asy products and no leave in conditioner. I didn't want my hair to be weighed down.

Hey ladies!

Ive been SUPER busy and overwhelmed with work. I think im gonna start looking for a new job soon. I don't like feeling trapped at work and i have big anxiety about going to work every single day. So when i come home i just eat, read and go to bed.

I have been taking care of my hair. Today is DC day, im gonna wash with my DevaCare No Poo and DC with my SM Deep Treatment Masque and just do a wash n go.

Im gonna clean up my place a little and then make a trip to the library :) Im in dire need of a vacation or some time off i feel.like i could just lose it you guys! Ugh!

SmilingElephant ok this is the second job that you started hated getting up for. Have you ever thought about working from home? I use to do it when I was well and you can make a living and you can work when you feel like it and you can go and lay down on your breaks. It is much better for someone that can not stand to be around people for long.

Here is the website that has a list and the ones I worked for is under call center. www.ratracerebellion.com

I really hope you feel better.

and how did your hair turn out??? and when is your next length ck???
 
Looked at my really old fotki album today and think my hair naturally grows an inch a month, its just my overuse of heat that means I retain less.

My first year at university clearly had a big influence on my hair

you are lucky to get an inch per month !stay off of heat for à while and see if things go back Well. retaining those inches per month is gonna get you to wl for sûre.

i.use heat because my.hair is better (.ssk avoided ).
 
today i did my very first rollerset on my natural hair.
you cant tell on the pic but it came out straight and soft time:

i also wanted to share this loreal product. it says its à shampoo+ after shampoo at the same time type of thing....
it did leave my hair feeling clean,it was strong (has some protein)and it was soft because i had added castor oil on the hair focusing on the ends. it has great slip so i detangled with it,braided in 8 sections ,added castor oil ,waited 45min then rinsed.
its ceramid + keratin at the same time
...3euros cool ;-)

Shadiyah thanks mama for that link. When i get my internet set up i am going to apply to as many as possible. I think I'd rather work from home, considering.

I've just been wearing my regular wash and go. I've been pushing myself to fix up a little more. So i bought some cute headbands that are too small for my big head but i manage to get them on everyday lol

I'm currently the exact same length, I
We can do it together! How tall are you?
 
Realized this half wig I'm wearing is MBL...


It's not TOO long, but I just know when my own hair is this long it will be an absolute crazy hassle. I'm not going o give up, if anything I want to donate my hair when it gets to waist length... But MAN you don't realize how long Waist length REALLY is until you see it o visualize how long it really is.
 
So I'm wigging it until spring summer time been putting in wigs have my hair cornrowed. Thinking about installing this bohyme hair.

I went to get my hair cornrowed my hair was a little wet and in a ponytail. The girl took off my ponytail holder and proceeded to blow dry my hair. Her eyes got so big. I thought that was so funny.
