I want to cut off like 2 in. Of my hair and just wear braids or weaves for like a year but I highly doubt I can find someone who would be willing to take the time to be gentle with my tangly hair.

I want to straighten my hair to see what I'm working with lengthwise, but I'd rather wait til I can achieve longer lengths to stunt on those who side-eyed me wanting to grow long. Oops did my hair hit you in the face as I walked by?? My bad o

That annoying period of your stretch where your new growth starts to puff up and out and in some way shortens the length of your hair? I swear my hair was longer last week.
Plus, I think my hair is much thicker this month. I had what feels like 6 weeks of new growth in just 3 weeks. I am not planning to relax until early January because I just dyed my hair but it's still really annoying

I found a drain protector to cover my pop up drain. Yea!
This AM, I clarified with Neutrogena shampoo.
Then d/c with ORS banana conditioner
Rinsed it out and detangled with Hello Hydration d/c.
Air drying now, and my hair isn't making me angry so I'm pleased.

I'm wack af today. Smooth and Shine gel?? Don't waste you time. I only got it b/c I was out of Ecostyler and didn't want to pay $5 for the IC gel everyone talks about. Oh top of that I have a pimple on my cheek and desperately need to do some facial waxing (including eyebrows) smh. What am I doing???
I was itching to give myself a trim this past weekend. Checked the moon calendar thing and it was listed as the dates to retard growth. The patience to wait until next weekend came so easily 
. I don't know if I believe in it, but I am not about to find out with my hair.

Gave myself a deep trim & a much needed hard protein treatment; I cut more than I planned & had minor regrets when I looked at the length lost, but my hair feels good so I'll live.

Thanksgiving hair.
-W&G gel rake style.
-Or do a curlformer set but I only have 16 since I'm waiting for the BF sale. So I'll have to work in sections. Not a great idea but I haven't seen my hair straight since May '12 so I think this and my test section is making me think this makes sense.

I met a girl at a training today that says she washes and straightens her hair every 2-3 days. She tries not to go a week.
She's black
And relaxed
Wowsers. What did her hair look like?
Babygrowth Surprisingly thick. She had it cut into a bob and her hair didnt even have that frizzy look that people with a lot of split ends have. Idk if Im jealous or in disbelief.

Ohh wow, you met me circa 2008-2010
Except my hair looked like crap. At least to me, everyone else (but Mom) thought it was great SlimPickinz
Summer where are you?
My hair had mad definition today! Watch me sleep like a banshee and ruin it.

I waited to post thislast week but thinking maybe PMS was causing my brain to turn to the left a bit, but I still have these thoughts...that my hair was so much more pretty and healthy looking before my HHJ. I am trying to grow my hair out but seems the ends are thin and most everything I have tried here just does not work...oil rinsing leaves my hair too greasy, for days...AVJ made my hair dry and brittle...fenugreek, marshmallow and slippery elm does not detangle the way others proclaim...tea rinsing is good for color but that's it...LOC, LCO, LOCB, LOCB, all feels nice going on but leaves my hair weighted down and forget about wearing a straight style, it only weighs my hair down and/or makes it revert...buns are nice but require gel about 5 weeks post relaxer so my hair is then hard and requires me to wash more frequently...I have a million products trying to find the right one for the right times to use them...stretching causes either breakage or even more PJism trying to figure out what to use to keep both textures soft and pliable...switched to ORS relaxer from Optimum box but I think I really liked the optimum better...cowashing is cool but the time to air dry to a tangled mess is not the life. I am a little pissy today and really fed up. I guess in honor of Thanksgiving, I should just be thankful to have hair and just get over it. I will either need to start back with wigs or give up the ghost and cut to a thicker bob, or get some stock in the ECO company because that's about all I can deal with these days and let go of any dreams of long lush flowing hair. #discouraged

Don't be discouraged. At least you know all the things that didn't work. Maybe go back to the basics...clean scalp, conditioned strands and keep your ends protected. I find that all that other stuff is just extra. My step daughter is starting to learn how to care for her own hair. She asked me to recommend some websites to browse around on and it's a shame that I couldn't think of any. (Yes I love my LHCF sistas but it's just too much extra stuff that I think would deter her from the basics) I just told her to be careful of the info out there in the internet streets and just stick to the basics because the other stuff can be overwhelming.

stay at your best ♥
I say wait until your hair is a lot longer before you make any permanent alteration to it. Going through rough times right now doesn't mean it will always be rough. If after some significant growth you still feel the same, go for it. Growth made a big difference for me.

ill probably wait until my hair is one length again. until then i may go back to straightening or light smoothing treatments.

Hey Napp I was natural for several years and then relaxed because I was wearing my hair straight all the time....I now realize I'm better off as a straight hair natural with the option to rock my curls when the mood strikes. My hair does better straight but I enjoy the versatility of the curls thus my transition back to natural using keratin treatments. These treatments are really helping me have the best of both worlds...and I was thinking SoftLiss may help me get that straight roller set without using curlformers after our chat the other day. Anyhow,co-signing on the idea of waiting a bit before you decide.
