Prettymetty,
How are the ItWorks vitamins working for you, thus far? I've been hesitating to try them due to the cost.
TIA!

My hair seems to be immune to gel cast. I glob on gel and barely get hold, much less crunch.

One day I will actually complete a full week of inverting. I believe it works, but never get beyond day 4 .

Hello, yes, I would like to admit to being addicted to trimming my hair. 
I sat down and started a search and destroy on the front of my hair which led to a full search and destroy and dusting session. That'd be fine and dandy, but my hair is in twists. So after I search and destroyed each section I just had to trim the (healthy) ends of the twists to keep them full and even all the way down.
I cut off half an inch all over. When was the last time I trimmed? July. Before that? June.
I am literally cutting off all my progress. What is wrong with me

I've only been taking them a couple weeks, but my shedding is less and my nails are growing super fast. I will do a length check and review after 1 month.

I do that too. I need to have blunt ends and I have OCD tendencies about prevention.Hello, yes, I would like to admit to being addicted to trimming my hair.

My cousin visited me for a few days and I was looking forward to giving her a bunch of products, but she only had a carry on bag so...my stash still overfloweth. I haven't bought nary a conditioner, shampoo, leave in, moisturizer, balm, pomade, etc. this year and I STILL have too much. So glad my PJ days are behind me because this is ridiculous.

I'm jumping back in the shower and washing this non sulfate shampoo residue out of my hair! I can feel it on my strands.

I had my hair in a twisted bun since wash day (Saturday or Sunday) and spritzed my ends daily but didn't do anything else. I took my hair down today to put it in a cute bun for an interview tomorrow. My hair was super moisturized, stretched, and defined. My bun is juicy.

I am completely obsessed with her hair. All I want at this point is my natural dark hair as long as it can be. I got all my coloring and need for short styles out of my system!! I'm ready for ridiculous long hair now.... short hair is fun and easy.. now I just want my long hair back.

I love ION hard water shampoo! The fact that I used the shampoo (lathered 2x) was telling! I used it, then used a non sulfate, used it again, then used a moisturizing sulfate. My hair must have had so much buildup! My hair didn't feel hard, rough, or stripped either.
Does anyone like any of their other shampoos and conditioners? I like their hair color products.

Shea moisture shampoos are such TRASH omgI'm tryna use up the rest of my stash so I put it in my gym bag for use after swimming. My hair felt better with chlorine in it straight out the pool than after using that damn shampoo!!!! Wth man.
Lol I love their shampoos. I need to get my other half of bottle from my mom since I'm honestly never purchasing again. I've move on to Qhemet and Mane Choice

I need some Lilla Rose/Flex-8 hair clips in my life ASAP! Are any of you ladies still wearing them? If so, are they made to last? I want to be sure they won't snap on me after a month.

I straightened my hair for a special occasion last week and I made sure to use both the redken heat protectant and the chi serum. I washed this week and noticed I have MAJOR heat damage all along my ends. Like 3 inches of just completely straight hair on my ends. I have to cut all of that off and I'm so heartbroken. Been growing my hair for 4 years and it's still not as long or as full as so many others I've seen who've been growing their hair out that long. I'm just so frustrated with 4a/4b black hair.
I aways get a lot of compliments on my hair and people assume It's a texture thing. Let me just say this, it doesn't matter what texture you have, if you keep your hair moistured and SHAPED it will be fly. I've seen it a thousand times and I'm can testify to my own. It's not half way as cute when it's not shaped up.

Can you link to the oil rinse thread?? As well as sharpened's advice? My computer died recently and searching on my phone on LHCF is so frustrating.Big thanks to @IDareT'sHair for bumping the oil rinse thread. My wash day is actually pretty simple: wash, dc, heavy seal and twist. But that oil rinse!!!!! I will add the step. That really helped
Big thanks to @Sharpened for telling me I was oil rinsing wrong and how to do it correctly.

I've been so hair lazy lately. I need to get back on track. I usually have my fall regimen worked out by now but I have no idea what I'm doing.

NotLucky no mo' just blessed.
I need some good scissors. Those cheap bss scissors don't seem to trim good on my hair. Problem is, I don't know what kind of scissors to get.
Also I tried leaving conditioner on my ends (not bad, gotta try again) . That was once like three or four weeks ago. I've been wearing two buns (top of my head like Mickey Mouse, sides of my head by my ears, and low buns) with a tendril on each side. This style has become my relaxed hair's equivalent of a "puff" aka my go-to style when I don't do anything else to my hair. But now I need to find another go-to style because I don't wanna stress my ends out too much. I'm spoiled by my 2 minute hairstyle though.
