My hairy thought today!

[MonaLisa]

Alright, so this is kind of a game, inspired by discovering all the fun games there in the offtopic:cheese:
Reason I didn't start the topic there is that i think this isn't offtopic! But if you think i made mistake, feel free to move this where it should be :o

So, tell us first thing that crosses your mind when you think of your hair today! Quick and honest.

The next person comments/replies only to the person above and shares his/her own hairy thought of the day!

I'll start....

I want to learn to make the sock bun:rolleyes:

[cuticom]

I'm glad I got it cut as it's soo much thicker, but I'd like to grow past my shoulders now thanks....

[TakeAPotatoChip]

I want a 2nd opinion on whether my hair is voluminous or just 'poofy' :\

[|Xei]

The roots are kind of oily, but oh my gosh, it feels so smooth from that treatment I did four days ago.

[nobeltonya]

I wish I knew more updos [that would turn out like they're supposed to, and that I can do myself].. I just have it in a basic bun at the moment. :P Note to self: learn to french braid my own hair [I know how to do it, just not on myself]

[vanity_acefake]

Good luck with the french braiding.
When should I wash this Argan oil out of my hair?
Ach, tomorrow will do!

[tinti]

Vanity acefake, I have no idea :p Guess tomorrow is fine though :D
I NEED to find some styling options other than claw clip and sloppy half pulled through messy bun thing :p

[Elleyena]

Tinti - Might I suggest a half up/half down look? Those waves in your hair would look gorgeous loose, and the bun would set it off. I tend to use the Split bun and take a couple of the loose strands from the front and twist them into the bun :)

Hmm...I'm contemplating starting the Morrocan method of trimming by the moon for length tomorrow. Think it might work for me?

[wvgemini]

Now I remember why I don't like the Garnier TN Hair mask stuff ... the fruit pit/sand grainy stuff. Humph. But my hair is really soft now. Double humph.

[pepperminttea]

Elleyena: If you need a trim anyway, it can't hurt to see if the moon phases do anything for you. :)

If I keep S&Ding, will there ever be a point when I can't find splits? (Ah, that'd be nice.)

[krissykins]

Should I use jojoba oil in my braid today? There's a shortage... I could just use coconut :p

[LovelyL]

I need to wash my hair, my scalp is yearning for it... but I don't want to get wet.

[Fingolphin]

It's annoyingly hanging in my eyes right now.

[PiroskaCicu]

I want to try a new hair style, but I don't know what. Hmmmm.

[sibiryachka]

I'm anxious to try honey lightening - maybe tonight?

[spidermom]

I think S&Ding breeds splits. The more I did it, the more I found.

Why should I care so much about my hair? Life would be so much simpler without it.

[Tiina]

I am in serious need of a wash. I wonder if that oil mix thing (http://www.etsy.com/transaction/47082323) I have for my skin would be good on hair too...

[Lianna]

Quick and honest? First word I thought: poufy!

[Ithildae]

Should I keep the light hair a bit longer?

[lapispimpernel]

My ends are still! dry! even after a deep conditioning mask and extra oiling. It might be time to quit the no-trim challenge...

[Magicknthenight]

lapispimpernel- Maybe its build up and you can try clarifying.
These links help :]

Have to wash my hair today because I'm going out. Its been a week but with nightly baths I don't feel dirty at all. Thinking I may try to wear it down with the outfit I'm planning...I used to love it down...now i get frustrated with it after a little while but it looks good down. Hope it drys before I have to leave...

[AnnaJamila]

Silky smooth; I love Garnier Fructise!!! :D

[telegraph64]

Greasy !! I have at least two tablespoons of oil.

[SpeakingEZ]

My hair feels VERY clean this morning. I washed it very well last night and I just laundered the pillowcases the other day.

Another thought: I wish I could trim off the damaged ends already. I'd like to comb my fingers all the way through it without catching on that last inch. But I promised myself I'd stop hacking off tresses until it was long enough to afford some length.

[firicia]

I would like to learn to do scalp massage... maybe I could get my fiance to do it on me sometimes too that would feel nice:)

[Nastasia]

My hair is surprisingly not too greasy, despite not having been washed since Sunday. Perhaps it's adjusting? Or perhaps it's just because I used a different shampoo and conditioner. My hair always loves that first wash with something different.

[jojo]

my hairy thought of the day; why does an inch cut off seem more than a inch grown???

[pinkbunny]

jojo - could it be the whole "glass is half empty/full" perspective dilemma?

I should've done a cinnamon lightening today, just like I should've yesterday. Will I procrastinate again tomorrow?

Can I suggest trying doing a Dutch braid in your hair? It is technically an inverted French braid that may look absolutely beautiful in your hair.

[CurlAhead]

Oh my gosh I hate my hair! :p:p

[Jcv-Shelley]

I am getting strangled by frizz (or so it seems) :laugh:

[wavyR]

why is my hair so poofy? ugh

[celebriangel]

My hair has seemed in the state of 'it's getting a little greasy, I'll need to wash it tomorrow' for days now! Odd - I mean it's not greasy yet, exactly, there is some oil but it just looks shiny...

I thought after my first CWC wash it was going to get greasy really fast, but no, it's been shiny for days now! :cheese:

[Capybara]

I really have to remember to use my volumizing spray more often - hello, bouncy hair!

[cuticom]

As greasy as my hair is I cannot believe how great my curly bob looks.

[nena_shawty]

i hade a guy friend say my hair was really soft as he kept stroking my hair lol

[Fufu]

just woke up, hair looks frizzy.. still thinking if I need to use leave in serum or just leave it naturally -__-

[MonaLisa]

Fufu -give it some time to settle down :)

Washing it today..Think I'll put castor oil while I'm at work and hope nobody will notice when i put it up:o Hope nobody will ever realise I carry castor oil and wallnut oil in my purse

[|Xei]

UGH! I should have used a little less oil in that treatment earlier. I have a feeling I'll need to wash again tomorrow.

[longhairtobe]

i slept on it sort of damp and now...

i have such an ugly wave pattern going on :-(

[pinkbunny]

longhairtobe - mine does that, too. If I have enough time, I'll mist my hair with water then braid or bun it up while I'm dressing and doing makeup. When I take it back down the waves are re-set!

[Fingolphin]

Takes so long to grow! It's times like this, in the awkward in-between stages that temptations to cut come creeping in...

[tinti]

Yeah, I agree, it's pretty awkward. But hang in there, we can do this ;)
Hmmm, should I wash today? Or just oil it? My hair has sucked up all the EVCO I aplayd a couple of days ago! Never happened before, might be the highlights...

Thank you Elleyena, that's a good idea! Also half ups makes doing buns easier.

[CathyEarnshaw]

I love my hair today. I washed it yesterday and it feels so nice. I'm wearing it down today...I usually wear it up. It feels so good against my neck and back.

[WaitingSoLong]

I wonder how much grass is in my bun from mowing for the first time this year today.

CathyEarnshaw...ahhh yes, the velvety feel of hair on skin...few things compare.

[wvgemini]

Why did I use hairspray today? I never use hairspray. But I wanted my Gibson Tuck to be nice and stable. So I sprayed. And now that hair is all stiff.

[AuburnTresses]

I want my hair shorter (but not short). I'm tired of sitting back in a chair and getting it caught between me and the chair...

[jojo]

hairy thought of the day; do not measure until May 8th........resist!

[dollface]

i should take up whittling so that i can make wooden hair toys to my exact specifications, and i should wash my hair but i won't today since i want a few more days of vibrant red.

[Annie Fulton]

I am due for a trim! Though I have been putting it off.

[constancev18]

Dear Hair,

Surprise me with a thick hemline come August.

[longhairtobe]

.....................

[longhairtobe]

longhairtobe - mine does that, too. If I have enough time, I'll mist my hair with water then braid or bun it up while I'm dressing and doing makeup. When I take it back down the waves are re-set!
That's a great idea! i didn't have time this morning as I had a 7:30am organic chemistry lecture but i will definitely try that next time. Thanks! :-)

[AnqeIicDemise]

That's a great idea! i didn't have time this morning as I had a 7:30am organic chemistry lecture but i will definitely try that next time. Thanks! :-)

Organic chemistry... wow. I'm jealous. Now I want to go back to school (again!).


DH has dubbed my braided bun 'brain bun'. I sang the 'brain bun' song at Chipotle's and got stared as if I was a crazy person.

[MonaLisa]

I love my hair today, love love love :o Want it to grow thicker and longeeeeer :) Starting to think I want it longer than hip/TB as i originally thought...:confused:

[tinti]

Good luck, Annie!
Don't wanna wash deep treatment out :p But I have to, because I'm going to my grannie tomorrow and I can't have oily hair on the boat.

[princessp]

I think the way I've parted it today looks more elegant than how I usually part it (note to self). :)

[MonaLisa]

Princessp - try taking a pic with different partings, it's really surprising how much of change it is :p

Gahhhhh tangles tangles again :mad: Not even braiding helps:(

[pinkbunny]

I hope my hair decides to behave on Monday... Time to renew my driver's license and I need a good photo this go round!

[Aaroo]

I wish it as as long as I could bring the length to front and see it with my eyes!

[MonaLisa]

Is it hair weight that's making my head hurt in the back...It's not even that long :confused:

[rogue_psyche]

Hm, my first wash with Garnier Triple Nutrition came out better than I expected. I wonder if it will be as reliable as GVP Conditioning Balm...

[Loepsie]

I'm rocking the 'medieval look' today. Love period (inspired) hairstyles! =D

[MonaLisa]

Can't even make a proper braid! grrrrrrr:mad:

[Chamy]

Can't even make a proper braid! grrrrrrr:mad:
With practice you will get better, i promise. :)

I wonder what tangles i will have to deal with today when i take out my dutch braids. I have had them in for two days and two nights, since i really haven't had time to redo them.

[Quezie]

The ends are tangling a lot less than usual, and in general my hair feels a ton better since I did a protein treatment yesterday. :)

[Neneka]

I look like a 13 year old boy with this hair.

[Aleria]

I can't decide if I want to trim my hair back to my "Ramona Flowers" cut after the summer or let it grow out shaggy and weird looking. Guess we'll see what it looks like in three months!

[ashke50]

I wonder if protein would help my hair, or whether I should leave it alone since it isn't causing a problem

[Sweetie]

it's already dirty....I washed it on saturday!!!! :rolleyes: I have to stop to wear it down!

[dinnee]

I just cut off an inch because I was fed up with the odd shaped ends and dryness and yeah... I will do a deep oil treatment against dryness tonight. What to go for, coconut or evoo?

[bunzfan]

I just cut off an inch because I was fed up with the odd shaped ends and dryness and yeah... I will do a deep oil treatment against dryness tonight. What to go for, coconut or evoo?

I find coconut is best for moisturised ends :)

[bunzfan]

I wore my hair down today for the first time this year hence the new signature picture, i actually thought it was starting to look long to me.

[Fingolphin]

I can't take good hair photos.

[MaiCarInMtl]

I can't take good hair photos.
Sometimes trying a slightly different angle, taking a picture outside or near a window can change everything. Have fun and don't stress about it. ;-)

My thought: I'm having a GREAT hair day! (and it's sunny outside!):D

[AspenSong]

My thought - Holy moly my head is heavy with this cassia/henna mix in it....boy I wish my hair was as thick as it is with this stuff in it. I'd have a 6-7" around ponytail!! :)

[lacefrost]

Same thought as ApsenSong! This henna makes my hair SO heavy and my hair is already super coarse and thick. Is this what it would feel like to have TBL hair? I'd have to cut it!

Is there anyone with TBL or longer C/iii hair?

[sibiryachka]

Why am I craving baklava all of a sudden?? Must be the smell of the honey + cinnamon solution my hair is soaking in!

[Lollipop]

I just saw Tangled...twice...must.grow.hair.MORE....
WANT.LONG!HAIR!NOW!!! :taz:

[MonaLisa]

Lollipop glad you found more inspirtation, and I cant wait to see it! I like that dude in movie also :o

Me loves my hair today too, it feels long and thick!:cheese: If it only weren't for the tangles at nape parts...always...no matter what i do :mad:

[Rafusen]

I wondered if catnip tea for my ends would make my cats go nuts on my hair.

[Ithildae]

Noooo they took my favorite conditioner out of program :wail: starting the search for the perfect condi anew -.-

[Fingolphin]

I dislike how the waves make it look as though it doesn't grow that much! :rolleyes:

[pinkbunny]

I think my full moon trim the other day has helped my ends, they seem happier! Unfortunately, my hair was disheveled for my new license photo, so I hate the new one more than the last one (I looked angry, but at least my hair was awesome lol). *le sigh*

[MonaLisa]

hmm looking forward to making some serious braid waves...you know from lots of little braids :D Or should I try sock bun finally, and perhaps sock bun curls I saw around here, so pretty....hmmmmm

[Lizbeth]

While braiding:
I want longer hair... well, I just have to wait.
I want thicker hair... well, I don't think this will happen. :(

[MonaLisa]

dying for a little trim..how do i make myself wait till 9th May...moon thing....:confused:

[Xandergrammy]

Today my first thought is "paint brush" because my tassle looks and feels like a well-worn paint brush!

I had to laugh when I read this thread title. I refer to my LHC friends as my "hairy friends" when talking to "real life" friends and it conjures up an unpleasant image. My DH on the other hand knows exactly what and who I'm talking about! :gabigrin:

[Chamy]

dying for a little trim..how do i make myself wait till 9th May...moon thing....:confused:

It is not that long, you´ll manage! :)

I was thinking that my bun looks huge now. I have braidwaves that i put in a bun, that must be the reason.

[Biedronka]

I can't wait till Tuesday to try out a castor oil treatment.
I'm so jealous of all those lhc people with the gorgeous thick tresses...why can't my ends be thick as well...sniff.
Please grow!Grow,grow,grow faster!

[Stub]

I keep thinking my hair is growing, then I think it's not. But today my french braid ends at my bra strap so it must be!

[MonaLisa]

It is growing Stub! Stop thinking about it and one day you'll be pleasently surprised! :D

12 little braids to undo, incoming lots of little braid waves! hope i won't scare children around! :D

[pinkbunny]

I got asked for bun help today! Sometime in the next 2 weeks I get to help a friend of mine learn how to bun her 2 daughters' hair for a dance recital. Yay!

[maborosi]

I cut my bangs too short today. Now they're back to their normal spot- pinned to the side of my face, ha.

~maborosi~

[Mamakash]

My hair is sliding out of my scarf . . . again!

[ashke50]

Can't believe I actually did break a hairstick in my hair - after thinking that couldn't happen to me, cos my hair wasn't thick enough.

[MonaLisa]

Mamakash - so it must be very silky, isn't that nice :)

Was curious today...after 2 months of accidentally no cones...So I used conditioner with cones....for long hair repair blah blah...Hmm...more silky and soft, less volume... I like both ways...I'm bi :p:o

[chenille]

MonaLisa - LOL, nothing wrong with a little experimentation. :)

Me, I have GOT to get a trim, and I don't have a regular stylist so that means finding someone new. Scary!!

[silverjen]

I can't decide if I want to stick with WO or not. Every time I try, I find myself reaching for the shampoo bar a week and a half to two weeks in. Is there such a thing as a sporadic washer? If not, can I make a new category? :p

[AnqeIicDemise]

I need to get my hands on some amish pins. These U-pins are too flimsy in my thick hair (I'm only ii, dangit!) that I end up with a pressure headache from where the tips cross over one another for support. Ouch! (I pulled eight U pins out of my bun today. That's sixteen little tips digging into my scalp in the same stupid spot!)

[silkheart]

The longer I wait for my hair to grow, the more I want to cut it already. (I want to cut the dyed hair and I'm impatiently waiting for the virgin hair which is around chin length)

[Chibbylick]

I have an itchy scalp... and a lice phobia, not a good combination!

[Melanie Marie]

I'm so glad I discovered the bun I'm wearing right now. ;)

[MonaLisa]

haha Melanie- i envy you for being able to make buns!

I'm bored with this color...just...brown :S

[Kristamommyx3]

I wish I knew more updos [that would turn out like they're supposed to, and that I can do myself].. I just have it in a basic bun at the moment. :P Note to self: learn to french braid my own hair [I know how to do it, just not on myself]

To master it on your own head, start by putting it half up in a clip, you know, the part that you'd start out with when you braid someone else's head. It will give you the hair stability and compliance you need until it's more natural for your hands. That's how I learned as a kid! :)

[dollface]

i had no idea my roots were nearly black but coloring your hair since 12 can make one forget their natural color....bleh it's going to take a ton of henna applications for my length to match my roots....

[wvgemini]

To dust or not to dust? Maybe I'll start with a coconut milk and honey treatment tonight and decide from there.

[KatiSasha]

I get to try my new shears today!

P.S. S&D turned into a full fledged trim. My first trim on myself ever! I don't think I'm ever going back to the salon :)

[Magicknthenight]

Have to wash my hair today. Been avoiding it since I had my toe all stitched up and they said not to get too wet. @_@. Going to try a "Henna n placenta" treatment today. Something I haven't tried in forever. Lots of protein. I was bored of SMT's though I'll probably follow up with one just in case. My ends have been tormenting me. Very tangly and giving me hell. Seems like they just don't feel the same and its depressing. Don't think it could be build up. Haven't been using that much oil. Hoping my treatments go good. Tonight DBF is playing at a battle of the bands and i get to meet his favorite sister whose coming to town. Hope I have any clean laundry. I want to wear my hair down...If all the oil gets out...and its not poofy or something from this treatment.

Also why doesn't all the oil always wash out? I can never seem to get it all out. I CWC but sometimes just do a simple Wash/condition...but it seems like theirs always a bit let in my hair. CO doesn't get it all out either...and i would feel bad scrubbing my length. Bah!

On a positive note my hair is long enough to sit on now. Classic here i come! :D. Hopefully if I get a trim it won't set me back too terribly much. I need to start wearing it down more..and getting used to it. I hate how much it bothers me down now when i used to love it.

I have a lot of hair thoughts today haha :D

ETA: Still need to upload the pix of the blue I put in my bangs...It was my first time bleaching. I need to quit letting things get in the way and just do it because its already grown out a bit and faded >_< Wonder if i should do it to the same spot again >.>

[Stub]

To henna or not to henna? I really want the strength and gloss and stuff but not sure if I want to color. Cassia maybe??

[Cocoa_Crema]

@Stub - I think you should give it a try. The color of henna is lovely, but cassia could be your best try. Go for it







I know my hair is getting long when it gets stuck in my armpits!!!! LOL :p:p

[Stub]

I do love the color of henna on everyone else. I'm just afraid! I've only ever once in my life colored my hair and that was just a 'lightening' blonde that turned my hair brassy, about 20 years ago. I know henna is natural and all but it's so permanent. Still, I've always wanted to try red(dish) hair without chemical damage!

[MonaLisa]

I want more thickness and volume :(
It's cones that made it look all neat and so flat...

[MissCharizard]

Gosh why do I get buildup even using no cones?

[tinti]

Because there's other thing causing buildup in your products?

Oooh, I love 4 strand braidwaves!! + I slept with dutch braid starting from my bangs so I've got some volume as well!

[Fingolphin]

Hmm...woke up with hair feeling kind of stiff...weird.

[wvgemini]

I just love how my hair feels after a coconut milk and honey treatment. Ahhh ...

[Curlyg27]

I love the feeling of it blowing in the gentle ocean breeze...

[pinkbunny]

I wore my hair down today! I mean down down, too... no clips, no elastics, no buns, no braids. I felt both free & naked at the same time lol.

[dollface]

the henna and manic panic gloss i did yesterday was a definite success, i woke up with no tangles and shiny soft hair this morning <3

[dollface]

Double post even after all this time.....I'm using a chemical box dye tonight on my hair, the henna won't stick to the bleached stuff well enough and I do not make a lovely ginger.

[PrincessBob]

But you re a lovely person in general.

If I am going to keep my hair long, I am going to have to build better hair confidence.

[MonaLisa]

I'm sure we can help you with that!

why i can't learn french braid.....i (think) i do everything as instructed, but it ends up just looking terrible....

[Alex Lou]

I always thought french braids were so hard. I could never do them. Then I started practicing during down time at school (no mirror) and it ended up being pretty easy to learn. I'm still not sure that I can do it in front of mirror, but I have no reason to try. Maybe you can try it by feel?

My thought: I need to learn to wrap my hair. My iron broke and my longish side-bangs won't behave. But whenever I try to wrap it, it ends up a mess.

[krissykins]

Stop being wavy, hair! Start being curly again! :mad:

[Jean Stuart]

Wow this new conditioner makes my hair feel so soft and....

I want more toys!!!!!

[ArienEllariel]

My hair looks pretty good considering I washed it the night before last... AND

Ooh... look that those split ends! I need to S & D.

[krissykins]

I want more toys!!!!!

Welcome to the dark side :twisted:

[ALYSSA]

I wan tto join the dark side! lol i would love hair toys as of right now i have none!
hmmm oiled hair for a whole day ...maybe its time for a wash now? hmm

[krissykins]

Alyssa, if you need any enabling, I know of plenty of people who can help you! haha

[HintOfMint]

I think I'll do a dutch crownbraid.... and lo and behold, I did!

[MonaLisa]

Major envy :mad:

Wonder how damaging it is...that my kittens play with my hair every morning, teeth and claws...waking me up way too early....But they so cute I can't tell them no...

[Paranda Belle]

My grey strands look like silver hair tinsle!

[Stub]

I wonder just HOW I got that dutch braid dutch on one side and french on the other? I should have taken a photo but was in a hurry. It was kind of cool!

[dragonchickx]

I think I look bad with my hair up in a bun, or even a braid, and I am wondering if there is an updo that I can do to protect my hair and still look good : (

[pinkbunny]

It's been a learning experience finding reliable "workout" hairdos... I feel most comfortable with some kind of braid(s) because they don't pull on my head, but I worry about it whipping around as I jump, bend, reach, etc. Also, I've been wondering about the effects of excessive perspiration on hair - is it good? bad? should it be rinsed ASAP or is it ok to let it marinate?

[Kristamommyx3]

Uuugh...grow!

[dollface]

I can't wait for my silk scarves to come in the mail so I can dye them to match my wardrobe and then start wearing them!

[MonaLisa]

Why does it itch...:( What did I do......

[HappyMuser]

I wish these layers could start growing faster!!

[CrystalStar]

I wish I could do more than a cinnabun. :(

[Stub]

I finally found braids I can sleep in!!! Hurrah, no more waking up strangled in hair.

[heatherbelle]

Too many gray hairs are starting to show up now...eeek.

[Becky Safari]

I wonder if pony tails are more damaging than I think?

[Ermine]

I wonder how much Monistat could increase my hair growth. If I normally grow about .75 inches per month, and I've heard of hair growing 2-4 times faster with Monistat, that would be like me growing 1.5 to 3 inches per month! With that, I could have a 10 inch bob in 2-4 months!! I'd be trimming the back every week...

[Qamar]

Argh. I can't get this cage braid to turn out the way I want and it would be perfect for faire tomorrow.

[pinkbunny]

I can't wait to try out the new treatment I bought today - Hask Henna 'n Placenta. Maybe Sunday...

[MonaLisa]

Rofl! I had a dream i was posting something in this thread, and when I've already posted, i realised it has nothing to do with hair, and wanted to delete the post but couldn't :D

The next night, I dreamt I've cut my hair to BSL but messed up so stylist fixed it to APL.. I actually loved it! And was gonna post here again, but I couldn't think of reason....to say why I had it cut! Felt kind of ashamed...

LHC is really in my head a lot :D

[Chamy]

I want to find a new style to use. Kind of tired of everything at the moment.

[dollface]

I hope I get over my post trim blues soon...maybe a deep oiling or conditioning is in order..

[ashke50]

Hair is greasy, bun is half falling out, but if I redo it it will probably be too tight, and my hair will look greasier. Also, how is it that after nearly 50 days of keeping my hair in protective updos and looking after it right it is half an inch shorter than it was when I started?
[/rant]

[wvgemini]

Boy when they say "burgundy," they're not kidding! o.O

[elbow chic]

I am trying sooo hard not to rip out my own hair but even with a (freaking outrageously expensive) seamless comb, starting at the bottom and working up, I STILL rip out hair! It almost feels worse than when I was using that nubby metal-bristle brush!

[owlathena]

I had a dream that I was shopping for hair sticks last night. I do not own any, so this afternoon I sanded and painted a chopstick. Ta-da!

[MonaLisa]

I want a stick too!!!

Loveeeee my hair...ACV wash is such a great discovery :D

[newbeginning]

I wish I could figure out how to do a dutch braid.

[KatiSasha]

I've officially given up obsessing over my 10 inches of damage. The top 9.5 looks fantastic no matter what I do, so I'm just going to patiently grow and trim.

[Neneka]

I wonder if my conditioner with weaker surfactants washed away all the coconut oil and castor oil I used in a heavy oiling. Usually I use conditioner with a bit stronger surfactant to wash away oils.

[sibiryachka]

Yeah, really should have washed yesterday... If I put it in 2 braids and wear a scarf, I can push it until this evening though. I'll just be home packing all day anyway, I don't have to impress anyone.

[young&reckless]

ohh drippy

[Tuntenut]

I shed too much, my end are dreadful and I'm not gaining much length, but none of that matters, because I just re-typed my hair, and I can now upgrade from i/ii to a solid ii !!! :cloud9:

[elbow chic]

Dude, this leave-in is SO not working. It it buildup CITY up in here!!

[AnnaJamila]

GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!

:p

[Merewen]

Good grief, I didn't even DO anything today! Why is my hair a matted mess? WHY?

[owlathena]

Please please let me get a good growth spurt after all this shedding :/

[Lollipop]

I ordered a bunch of henna to use on my sister, but I'm wondering if I should use it on myself too? I was intending to get to waist and maintain untill I grow out my layers, so that I have nice long virgin hair, and THEN experiment with henna/cassia/amla/indigo, but i wonder if it's worth it. It will take two years for the shortest pieces to be at waist, and by then I will have so many urges to cut (because of layers). Henns might be the change I want. But I'm afraid. What if it doesn't suit me? I love my dark hair and i want to go as close to black as possible, but I don't know if the red highlights will suit me. However, I already have a bit of red in my hair. I just keep imagining these horror scenarios.


Screw it, I'm hennaing my hair as soon as it gets here!!!

[angelshair]

Same thought as everyday: surely my terminal length can't be APL wet?? And then comes the heated debate inside my head :P I'm only slightly crazy :D

[phoepha]

why did I chop soooo much off last year and why is it taking such a long time to grow it back???

[Mesmerise]

I hope that henna I bought off ebay hasn't been lost in the mail :eek:!!! I bought SIX packs!!

[MonaLisa]

can i wait with that wash till tomorrow...hmm...

[Neneka]

My hair is too oily (coconut) but I don't want to wash my hair today.

[jojo]

hair you have done me proud today though you have been pampered with a 3 hours mayo dc and a honey and conditioner for 4 hours, but your looking good for once!

[Sweet Beat]

I really have to learn how to make that sockbun look amazing...

[MonaLisa]

Uhm *hides*....i envy my DBFs hair...so strong and black and shiny and thick...love it! grows insanely fast thank god... as he destroys it time to time..
Gonna steal his shampoo i think *blushes*

[sibiryachka]

Even though I've spent the last couple days since my last wash doing hard physical sweaty work, my roots are not at all oily and I can put off washing for another day. I suspect this is because 1) I've been wearing a bandana the whole time too, and I think it may be wicking away some of the sweatiness and 2) I usually can't keep my hands out of my hair. Being busy busy busy, and keeping it braided and covered and inaccessible, means I haven't been touching it hardly at all. Fascinating.

I am loving my hair today. It's not perfect, and there are so many things I am planning to try with it, to make it smoother, shinier, less frizzy. . . but still, I'm just so glad it's there. I kind of can't stop petting it right now.

[MonaLisa]

gonna try thay little french braid that looks like a head-band or whatever it's called...sigh dont even know name of updos...
hope it will work..

[Guenhwyvar]

My hair is annoying today...

[Knittycat]

I need to get better at doing my hair. I really suck at anything other than a simple bun or pony tail.

[C.H.]

Is my hair actually damaged? It looks and feels great, but maybe it is still damaged nonetheless. Plan to help alleviate with some good old S&D.

[Jcv-Shelley]

I've used the wrong kind of condish for CO and now my hair is on the greasy side.

[Neneka]

Why have I been using such an expencive condititioner when five times cheaper condish has the same ingredients and all the benefits! :insert facepalm:

[sun-kissed]

Letting the conditioner set on my hair yesterday sure made it silky! It's kind of greasy now, but worth it. It was getting so dry it was scary.

[WittyWordsmith]

I need to learn how to scrunch my hair better right-side up so that it doesn't look like a rat's nest when I flip my head over from hanging upside-down.

Second thought: thank God for updos.

[cygus]

hair is kind of blah.....waiting to get to enjoying it again.....

[QueenJoey]

It's super tangled, but at least it's growing.

[homeeduk8tor]

I am not happy with my hair today.

[malumsam]

My hair really is growing at 0.5 inches/week! :disbelief Confirmed! Yay!!!:cheese:

[catholicteacher]

Just starting to add ACV rinsed to regemine. If any of you are as uncoordinated as me...I hope you like the taste of vinegar.

[Anje]

Mixing too much glycerol into your conditioner is a good recipe for sticky hair. :-P

Also, that Fanciful rinse not only did not cover my red (it was an experiment...), it left my Tangle Teezer fuzzy.

[MonaLisa]

Feeling short...:(

[Tota]

I think argan oil for scalp was a good investment. Applied it on my scalp yesterday and woke up with less itchies today! There is still hope for my scalp afterall :D

Also: Wash day! Wooohooo :cheese:

[Kira94]

I really need to wash my hair. Also, I wish the growth was quicker and more instantly visible to my eyes. :)

[MegaMystery]

My thought today: Why oh why did i want to straighten my hair last week? I used a coney leave-in spray for protection and now i feel like i have to wash with my lush poo-bar (SLS!) to clarify... i guess i'll oil very heavily and do CWC on top of that to protect my poor hair :( After that: headband curls! My new favorite! :D

[Safira]

It was a good idea to try Aussie Luscious Long conditioner, my hair is so soft and bouncy :)

[bouclée]

I measured (several times) my hair yesterday and it appears it's only 1cm longer than last month, when my hair usually grows 2cm per month. I just took my monthly hair picture and IMO it looks like it has grown more than just 1cm... :bigeyes: I am just going crazy?!

[kidari]

My hair is not growing that fast lately, it's slowed down. Hope to be at waist by spring.

[gracenotes]

Hairy thoughts of the day: To trim or not to trim... And, what is my hair type, REALLY?

[fridgee]

Its only day 4 of my wear hair up for month challenge and I'm getting fed up with it already! :( Need longer hair so I can have more variety in updos!

[Amber_Maiden]

fridgee- You can do it!!! And I know how you feel about updos... I only have one that I do...

I really want me hair to be naturally red again... I really hope all these honey lightening treatments work!!!

[chou]

Hm, if I wash my bangs in the sink I can go another day without showering! (Yes, it's kind of gross)

[Pinkster8]

I love the way my hair feels when I turn my head quickly! (It's in a English braided ponytail)

[jacqueline101]

Thoughts about hair today needs washed.

[sarah061]

My hair needs to be washed today too!

And my scalp is really hurting from an updo that I did yesterday - ouch!!

[MonaLisa]

Trim on Tuesday !

[Maelyssa]

I can't wait to buy my henna!
