I'm loving the feeling of having hair. My hair has this good heaviness to it that it never had before and I am amazed by that.

I'm not using products as fast as I'm buying them. So my stash is growing and I'm afraid that some products will go bad before I get to them. Also, I don't know what to do with the 75% or less full products that I don't need or want anymore. I don't think it makes sense to sell them. I would like to give them away but no one around me cares for their hair the way I care for mine. I hate wasting products but I also refuse to continue using a product for no reason just to say I used it up. That's it for now.

Sounds like a great chance for mother daughter bonding.
Got that at the local health food store too. My local store happens to be a REALLY GOOD store. They were selling Jane Carter and Camille Rose looooong before they showed up at Target. They have Qhemet too. So I'm lucky with them.I'll have to check a few near me. It's so irritating that none of their stores have it in stock and it's on backorder online. Can't get Bragg ACV eitherMight order on Amazon
Post them on the exchange forum. If it's good stuff someone will take it off your hands. Some people sell items and some just have people pay for their shipping to get it off their hands and into a good home.

I wish I could make my hair thicker. All I want is a decent sized Bantu knot bun. Is that too much to ask for? Maybe once I hit hip length it will look better and give the illusion of thickness

I wish I could keep my twists in for weeks at a time. I thought I could make it to two weeks, my twists still looked really good but my scalp was itching like crazy. I sweat alot when working out. I would wash with the twists in but I hate when they get fuzzy. So I took them down and am dc as I type. I'm a little sad about this.

Extremely low maintenance at this point. Wash, when dirty (Elasta QP Cremem Conditioning Shampoo), condition in shower while bathing (Tresemme Naturals and EVOO). Towel dry, add Cantu Shea Butter with EVOO mixed in, and do 4 flat twists/ cornrows, to air dry overnight. Take out and shake in the morning- go.
Every now and then I'll drop a jet black adore rinse in. But it's really just been wash, condition, moisturize, air dry. I don't even comb daily anymore. That braidout becomes a bun real fast...

I forgot how distracting the LHCF app is when I'm trying to study. Time for a 5-15 minute structured break.

I went to Walgreens and told myself that i am only allowed to buy toilet paper. Next thing I know I find myself in the haircare aisle with a stack of Shea Moisture products in my arms. It was BOGO, but I made myself only buy 2. Resiting the urge to drive by the Walgreens by my school for more....

How on Earth do people manage to bun for the week and not manipulate their hair? I HAVE to remove the bun in order to go to sleep. I either put my hair in a couple of braids or pineapple, but either way, the bun has to come down or I can't sleep. Sigh.

I want a whole bunch of satin scrunchie and I only want to pay a dollar for it. I d OK no want to pay 5 dollars for one. At my old house I had a beauty supply that had a whole bunch for a dollar and different colors, but that's like an hour away now!

Thinking about getting an undercut. Not sure how my school (nursing program) or job would feel about it though. Maybe I'll do it after the semester ends in April. I can just wear my hair down at work if they give me a hard time about it.

Summer where are you?
I stopped shaving my nape in Feb of last year & I'm just now hitting SL. And I have a "fast" growth rate.

I think I might do it. I should have a decent amount of growth by November when I'll have to wear my hair up for school. I think their only issue would be shaved hair with designs. By November it should be short coils.

Yeah, I fall asleep on my back so buns are a no-go for me at night. I can see how a side-sleeper could get away with it.
That said, I can't deal with having my hair pulled tight when I go to sleep anyhow, so even if I slept on my side I wouldn't be able to wear a bun to sleep. Sometimes I'll take a pineapple down in the middle of the night and that's not even tight.
I guess my hair just likes to be free!

I was twirling my hair while watching tv last night and realized that my hair is long enough to twist/flat twist! 
I don't know why I didn't think it was long enough since I just bc'd three weeks ago, but it is. Gonna do a flat twist out tonight to see what it looks like in the morning.

It's been 18 months since my last relaxer. This transition has been so easy/low maintenance that I completely forgot until I checked my siggy. I'm going to wait to do the final chop until at least the spring. In the meantime I need to start putting a little more effort into healthy hair care practices.
I want to give myself an oil scalp massage soon Water + AOHSR in a spray bottle is just life.

I worked APB Blueberry Cheesecake DC and TVO Veda Hair Growth Oil through my hair last night while watching Netflix with hubby. I washed it out before bed, LOC'ed and put my hair in a few twists for bed. I woke up this morning with the softest hair that I've had in awhile!

Why on Earth does the thumbsup smiley look like he's flipping the bird???? I just logged on to my computer and noticed what it really looks like (I just typed the code into my phone). What on Earth?
