I really need to learn how to do cornrows. I'm dusting my wigs off tomorrow and probably buying a new one Friday because I've been failing at this bun life. Bun season is supposed to start in Septempter for me. I've worn my hair in a bun maybe 3 or 4 times since Sept 1. Smh. 2014 I did so good with this. I don't know what the issue is.

All natural!
The plan was to dry my hair in ponytail twists then flat iron. Only I'm already late for bed. But I don't want curly hair tomorrow first day back from break.

Sigh.

Every time I've had a setback I know what I did wrong... and I don't do it any more... but then I go do something else wrong :lol: I like this regimen I'm on now... I think I'll keep from getting bored by trying out different kinds of oils and butters to use on my scalp. Can't go wrong with that.

I know the struggle, I'm still tweaking my regimen and learning lessons through trial and error. But I know at some pt there will be no more mistakes to be made between me learning from others and myself

Thinking about cutting my hair between BSL and MBL. I am not happy with the way my ends look. I just don't trust anyone to cut that much off of my hair...not even myself. Maybe I'll just trim an inch first then reevaluate the situation. And I need to up my protein use because my hair is not happy and is breaking like crazy. My hair is just sad all the way around. Time to rethink my entire regimen.

My twist out is kinda stretched today. I washed my hair last night and did a twist out when it was not sopping wet. It's cool. I am soooo glad that there are products on ground that I really like -- shout out to Camille Rose's products. I've been searching for a while ever since Darcy's reformulated my staple hair gel/styler. I also really like Giovanni's 2 chic purple line.

There's a big, shiny new bss within walking distance of my apartment. The prices are competitive with Sally's and the selection blows them away. (I saw Kinky Curly products I've never seen in person before, as well as the full range of Miss Jessie's, AuntJackie and Jessicurl) It's about twice the size of Sallys; the back half is wigs and hair.
......I might be in trouble.... :lachen:

Happy New Year, ladies!

Loving this Amla/Brahmi oil! It also has bhringaraj in it. It's in a sesame oil base so I finally found something that wasn't based in coconut oil. It smells good AND I'm getting ceramides out of the deal.

Was looking at my EOTY length check in 2013 and couldn't believe how much length I've lost or chopped. I was below the last line on my shirt and now I'm back in MBLville. Personal issues got me off focus but I'm going back to my trusted regi of incorporating ayurveda, watering my hair everyday, PSing and weekly DCing. 2016 will be a better hair year for me!

Today I did my whole out of braid deep treatments. I detangled, clarified, hard protein treatment, black tea rinse, and DC. I'm so tired, but this routine gives my hair everything it needs to go back in braids. My hair is clean, strong, and moisturized.

you won't believe what happened to me.

so i cut my hair in a twa and Hubby was going to edge/line it up and trim this little patch that i kept feeling. wellllll.

as he started the door bell rang and there was a loud knock on the door. guess who it was. UPS. the package needed a signature. ...and you can guess what happened. a little patch was clipped off. yes one bald spot. i was pissed.



after that hubby said...i will have to cut it lower. i said fine. just as he was about to start we were talking and there was another loud knock on the door. this time it was Fed Ex. now keep in mind these two companies usually drop the package off and slither their way back to the truck or just throw the package on the porch area...yeah i saw that one. now i have two small patches in my head. sort of like that scene in the movie Barber Shop where the little boy had patches in his head.




i said we have to do this another day. hubby apologized ..he felt bad. i said ..now you why i do my hair at nite. no biggies we will do it in 7-10 days when those spots fill in.

i guess they heard the complaints that folks sent in about them not knocking. ..but this was the wrong time....lol


that scalp massage felt good though.




i loved that scalp massage so much..the tingling yesssssssssssssssssss!!!!!

I'm into crafting and needle work. I am growing my hair out, but I'm really not doing anything special to it. I shampoo and DC weekly. I cowash daily, I moisturizer and that's it. I don't have a lot of hair right now. Once I get to five inches, I will care more. Don't wanna get into some hair product craze, or worrying about my hair daily.

Yeah pretty much. I have plenty to twist now, but I just don't feel like doing all of that. I always jump from one thing to the next and I hyper focus on it. I really wanna get this crochet thing down. I would like to start it as a side hustle. I know my strengthens and weaknesses. If I start focusing on hair growth and length, I will never get to where I wanna go! Dramatic right? Lol well I have ADHD! Lol

Nothing wrong with that. If I could wng I would do it too. Why twist if you don't have to.

I trimmed my own hair for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and now I keep dreaming that I chopped huge chunks off by accident...:nuts:

When you stare fear in the face and just do, all else follows. My 24 weeks stretch is complete as of Monday and I'm pressing forward for another 24 weeks. Best part about it, I did it effortlessly, minimal products, minimal care, minimal protective styling. I'm sooooo happy I did it! Now my scalp is crawling.

Ok Ive got my cheap conditioner on board and I'm gong to start co washing or water washing 2-3x a week even if it's winter I only do this in summer.

Side note: woman I met has hip length ponytail slight wave and fine silky hair she washes her hair every day.
That's why I'm going to give this a try even if it's winter here. Why should I only get great results in summer.
