I hope I can figure out what would yield me an inch of growth per month.

I had a hair dream last night. I'm in my bathroom, my braids are out, I'm washing my hair, shampoo and all in front of the mirror and all of a sudden, Aditya Roy Kapur (the guy on the left of my sig
) comes in and starts massaging the shampoo in my hair. I have to direct him so I get everything but he gets really into it. The thing is IRL and in the dream he's a foot taller than me at 6'3 and we're just standing in front of the mirror and looking at each other.
I don't normally have dreams like this.
I've also never been one to say "I want my SO to help me do my hair."

I tried it and like it. It has a strong scent (Monoi de Tahiti and green tea) but it is light weight.

Aw, bummer! I'm sorry that you are disappointed.
What do you think caused you to stall on your growth?Aw, bummer! I'm sorry that you are disappointed.
I had breakage at my crown that required trimming on my longer layers....else I'd be stuck with a mullet. On top of that, I like to trim regularly. Self-inflicted, but thank you for the support!
I hope to do better next year.

Just saw yet ANOTHER never-seen-this-before Shea Moisture product while at the Target today. I'm too exhausted to go find my phone and upload the photo, but basically it was as product for giving the hair aroma, and also moisture. It was a spray. Several sprays: I saw one for the Honey Manuka and two other lines. I'll try to upload the photo tomorrow.
On the bottle it said that the product was designed to change the smell of the hair when needed, while also providing moisture.

Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil , Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil, Fragrance (Parfum), Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil , Tocopheryl Acetate, Panthenol, Gardenia Tahitensis Flower Extract, Bambusa Textilis Extract, Melia Azadirachta Seed Oil, Calophyllum Inophyllum Seed Oil, Allium Sativum (Garlic) Bulb Extract, Vetiveria Zizanoides Root Extract.
I might try it, since shea butter is not first on the list. Tack it onto the ever growing list...

I swear can't keep up with all their products, but why not just wash your hair if it stinks. It's like putting perfume on stink.

I know, right? My literal thought was: "But, but . . . but . . . there are already nice-smelling moisturizing sprays soooooooo . . . You know what? NEVAHMIND!"

I'm being real lazy about my hair. The plan is to wash it tomorrow in hopes that it reverts back to a puff.

I don't remember where I posted that info on ammonium thio "White lady perm" to smooth curls/frizz...but I ended up returning those and opting for Wave Nouveau/Carefree Curl/Hawaiian Silky thios....they are very similar to Wella WellStrate except that, you don't have to iron. Not sure if you can but you might be able to. I think these are less harsh options for the "relaxer" treatment. I snipped 4 meches of hair for the test and they did not get damaged. Now, I'm thinking that I can go back to henna in this transition from Ca/NaCl hydroxides (calcium/sodium) bases to ammonium. I tried the 5% - 10% deposit-only demi- permanent dyes but I think I just don't want more chemicals on the hair at this stage. Yes, others use henna with thio perms but BAQ henna only.
ETA: I didn't expect to get hits. I switched because the cream ones do not run. Other perm is like water and I want to keep it on the new growth, not the ends which I'm transitioning out of.

Here is a picture of the SM product I mentioned.
ETA: It's called On-the-go Conditioning Hair Fragrance.
First: You, SM, want to produce a scent-focused type of product?
Second: If I'm open-minded, I imagine such a type of product might be useful for re-scenting the hair after use of a beloved product (performance-wise) whose scent is not the best?

So many wigs I wanna try, so little time, not enough money...
On another note, I was never one to believe in scab hair but I think that's what was going on when I couldn't get control of the front of my hair. That first inch or so of new growth was just a disobedient mess.

Hmm I would TOTALLY use this. Not that I have stinky hair or anything, I really love the "just cowashed" smell but it doesn't last for more than a few hours. And if it helps to refresh a style and moisturize, I'm more than down to try it out!Here is a picture of the SM product I mentioned.

That's for covering hair funk lol. After perm, alright. But because it's dirty? No way. Haha

Since I think my hair is over moisturized, I'm sticking to the same deep conditioner SM JBCO for less time 15 minutes instead of an hour and using my fav leave in SM JBCO.
Enough of using different stuff for a while.....
Also, no more curl rehydration spray or green house effect. I'm using oils to moisturize my hair not butters(too heavy).
I will see how it goes!

See now I'd be interested in this as a fragrance to add to my DIY stuff. But I don't think I'm extra enough for hair perfume.
