I love being a blond. I've been natural for almost 5 years, and its the best risk, and fun I could have/take with my hair. My hair is still very healthy, and strong despite the hair color. I've been blond since September, and continue to enjoy being natural and blond more and more everyday. I keep my hair stretched which helps with retention.

I'm staring at a bottle of ION BKT and I just might use it. It was $18 at Sally's and I bought it on the spur of the moment. I'm seriously thinking of trying one section of my hair and waiting to see if there is any breakage. I need something to tame the frizz through the Spring and Summer and I just don't want to wait til the heat kicks in and get desperate and relax. I'm natural at the moment....but I usually break down and texlax (and I STILL get frizz when straightened).
I'm tempted to try something new, BUT my hair is as long and healthy as it's ever been (minus an inch or two). Should I change the script now? Should I stick it out natural?
I'm also doing a demi-permanent on my grays. I'm too young for gray. Someone stop me if I'm headed toward breakage city. Send me an lana and I'll check back in! Thanks!

I've been feeling so lazy when it comes to my hair. I'm leaving in this 2 two strand flat twists until Wednesday. Rocking my beanie until then. Sadly have to take it off for lab at school. But the twists might stay lol. It's definitely time for a protective style.

I broke down and texlaxed in July, After 2.5 Years as natural. I like the ease of wash n go's, but I can no longer wear twistouts. It looks thin. My hair is sort of fine, so texlaxing may not have been the best idea. I'm constantly worried about breakage, I've really been slacking.

So upset. Tried to do a flexirod set and it was an epic fail. Hair didnt fully dry. Didnt know it was gonna take forever and a day to dry. Back to the drawing board

I have not tried since I've been natural, but while I transitioned I tried flexirods. I could never get my hair to dry with them either. I would use them only on dried hair and they would work fine. I would use my curlformers on wet hair and I could air dry my hair over night with no issues.So upset. Tried to do a flexirod set and it was an epic fail. Hair didnt fully dry.

I am thinking about sewing those dollar tree satin caps into my winter hats. Buying satin lined caps cost more than I want to pay and this seems like a cheaper alternative without adding to my stash. I wore a satin cap under my hat today and it did what I needed it to do for the hour my hair was covered from the cold.

I finally stitched an elastic strap to my wig. This thing fits so much better already. I've still got to sort out the back by stitching elastic all the way round, but this'll do nicely. I can finally lay off the bobby pins. These have a negative reaction with my scalp.

I did this one winter and never looked back. I used my cheap bonnets and whipped stitched the elastic band to the brim of my beanies and tams inside out, so that the inside is completely seamless.

At the end of the day at work today they announced that tomorrow we're taking head shots for our company badges. I was going to wash my hair before work tomorrow and wear a damp bun. Now I have to put off wash day so my hair can be semi-cute for the pictures. Sigh...
Wednesday mornings are really the best day for me for my mid-week wash. Every other day my workout takes so long that if I wash after I will be so late, but I guess I'll be late on Thursday.

I've been working so much these last few weeks and I've been neglecting my hair. My coworkers haven't seen my hair in over a month (I've been wearing tams and beanies with no shame). This weekend, if I have the energy, I'm gonna really pamper my hair. IF I have the energy for all of that. I just wanna sleep for like 24 hours straight.

Y'all *sigh* I just co-washed my hair (some of my goodies came in, yay!). But my excitement is tempered by how my hair now looks when it's wet. It looks like it's plastered to my head. It looks really disgusting to me now. The stylist burned my hair straight (she did use a heat protectant though). I've been completely humbled. Now I know next time to tell her to cut the heat down and not get it bone-straight. Only thing left is to nurture it back to life. Oh and I forgot the massive amounts of shedding I'm getting now. I almost want to cry. Can't believe how emotional I'm getting about pieces of keratin protruding from my scalp. It's not just hair anymore.

^ Aww {hugs} it's not crazy to be upset about that, your hair is an extension of you. It sounds like you've identified the problem, so now you just have to get back on the right track. Good luck!
I'm really resenting my hair and want to cut it off to earlength. I've painfully looked after it for nearly 6 years and now that it's TBL I am just resentful of it. Never enjoyed it, and the care of it was painstaking. The only thing preventing me from cutting it right this second is the 6 years that went into it. I'm off for the afternoon and evening and see if some hair pampering will help but I'm just craving earlength hair

Spongebob OK let's trade places. Shiiiid I'd be swanging that length all over the place!
Let's not be hasty now. Then you'll really be upset. How about a wig or wig for something a little different? Treat yoself lol. If after wearing one of those you're still of the same mind do what would please you.
Everyone doesn't want or have to have long hair. It's a new year, what's the point in having all that hair if you can't enjoy it?

What would help u enjoy your hair right now without cutting it? Whatever that is, do it.
Flat iron
Go to salon
Get some highlights
Bleach it
Whatever it is, do it. Dye it blue! Since u want it short anyway, u don't have to worry about a setback. If your new thang fails, cut it.
Go enjoy your hair, girl. Life is short!
