I was blow-drying my hair and I just quit. My new-growth is just too strong. I have a feeling that I will NOT be a long-term stretch person. Now I have to blow-dry the other half tomorrow and attempt to flat iron 
. Hopefully I can texlax in a few days.

I think I'm starting from realize that my hair hates being combed unless it's already straight. Dude, I get so much breakage it's just messed up. Gee whiz...what I's gonna do?

This shedding is beyond annoying. I think its due to stress.

Oh snap, yall! So, I was watching yt's on how to revive an old wig and the professionals use a hand held steamer. I was like, damn, that really works??? So I had my mom bring over some of my old wigs and my Maxiglide.
Yall! The ish worked!!!! I tried it on a long, sort of 'doobie'd' wig with bangs and, I swear, the hair looks fresh out the pack! Omg!! I can't believe it. I'm so pleased with my work that I brought the wig out of retirement and am wearing it now. Yay.
Next up: razor cutting to update it a bit.

I accidentally realized that Smooth and Shine w/Silk Protein Foaming Wrap Lotion and Silk Element's Heat Protection Creme actually work pretty well together on my new-growth. It's soft and smells pretty good. And my hair has gotten relatively straightened with the flat-iron.

I used to think I was a slow grower. I've realized I think I get about an inch of growth per month. Pretty mind blowing. It just let's me know my retention has been pretty whack all these years. I thought I knew something about my hair and I had no idea...
When I'm braided and twisted up my retention is perfect. When its out in ANY way-no retention at all really. Why? I'm gentle. I finger detangle, deep condition, moisturize, scarf, keep it stretched, no heat, the whole nine. Wtf?
I don't mind using protective styles to grow my hair. I prefer my hair out of the way anyway. It's just what the heck could be breaking my hair in the out styles? Air?

I was in a pretty similar boat. My hair grows faster than I thought it did but the longer it got the thinner it was getting so I had to cut it off... It was a couple of different things I was doing wrong... the number one being that I wasn't sticking to a regimen for long (I'd keep the same one for a few weeks and then want to try something new) and number two my need to use shampoo in a way that benefited my hair/scalp (pre-shampooing with oils). I was also using products that had no real benefit to my hair... they made my hair feel nice for a period of time but they didn't really help anything. Changing those things have really changed my hair over the past couple of months. It's thicker now and staying that way the longer it's getting plus it's not breaking/snagging anymore.

For me my problem was protein and lack of trims. I rarely got trims and it aided in my tangles and knots. And I always used light protein when my hair needed hard protein treatments.

I have too many products.. I think when people come over.. and friends who need it that I see, I am going to give them two conditioners a piece. Until I have just my staples and two additional alternatives left.
It will be nice to have a small stash. very nice..
Will Start ASAP.. I have friends whose daughters are in need.

My new-growth is having no parts of being straight. It's like it's saying "Me straightened? Ha! You're too cute."
