The coconut cream was a success, my hair feels pretty good right now :) Though i did hear that it counts as a protein treatment (anybody have any ideas on that?), so i probably won't use it weekly.
Also i think i should have washed it out with shampoo instead of CO, my scalp still smells of coconut cream (and the day after it's no longer a good smell, ugh!). I'm going to wash it again in a minute, because the smell is on my fingers every time i touch my scalp..
Welcome, MrsPuddinHead! :) Your hair looks good to me in your pic :) Remember, we're our own worst critics..
MegaMystery, I'd like to try the coconut cream too...but I don't think that my hair likes protein :( But I loooooove coconut!!
My Nightblooming's Panacea arrived today! (along with the Ficcare that I got off the swap board) :D I was trying to figure out what to do for Treatment Tuesday, and well, the answer arrived in the post! :bigtongue:
I'm so excited!! :D
I started Treatment Tuesday already yesterday. This means:
- I damped my hair with aloe vera spray and put some sesame oil in it and put up my hair for the night.
- This morning I didn't wash, I just damped it with water and put some Giovanni 50:50 conditioner in it. This stays in my hair until the evening... (but this is my usual morning routine, only different condi as my regular one is empty.)
- Then I will do some sports later in the evening, rinse it well with water and CO wash with the 50:50 conditioner (while it will stay on my head during some sauna). :D
I was going to wait until Towel Test Thursday to measure but I couldn't help myself today..
I measured about.. oh, I don't know... 50 times (:p), and I'm now definitely a solid 21"! :)
I think I only have one more stripe on my t-shirt until I'm APL!
That sounds so luxurious!Quote:

Almost forgot to add: my Treatment Tuesday will be a mask of molasses and Ion Extreme Moisture Creme. Might do a protein treatment with Colorful Neutral Protein Filler if I am feeling ambitious!
Okay, Treatment Tuesday, was actually Trim Tuesday for me :happydance:
Spent the afternoon in the salon, and came back with a new color, and a trim. It sure looks a lot healthier, but I'm still getting used to the color, it looks too warm on me. I'm giving it a few weeks to get used to... My hairdresser did compliment me on the state my hair was in, seeing as the last time I had it trimmed was on July 1st last year :o

I don't think I lost a lot of length in the longest layers, so APL is still pretty close...
It looks wonderful, really healthy and the color is beautiful :)Quote:

Thank you Sillage. I live in California but am originally from Alabama. My hair isn't used to such dry air so I'm thinking for treatment Tuesday doing a Cholesterol treatment. Since it acts as a deep conditioner it should help. Don't mean to sound dumb but what are towel tests..??
Oh, not dumb at all, I didn't know about them until a few weeks ago. It's where you wrap a towel around yourself under your arms securely and then use a hand mirror or something to look into the bigger mirror and see if the ends of your hair reach the top of the towel, as the towel sits at APL ( if it isn't slipping) and is a good visual to see if you've reached that landmark yet. :)
I was within a half inch of APL this morning (when wet and stretched) but just did a substantial trim of over an inch. I originally planned to cut a half inch, but ended up cutting more to get rid of some layering. I like layers, but I feel like my hair has TOO many layers to the point where the ends are too thinned out and losing their shape. I think that after this trim today I might keep trimming the new growth on my bottom layer for a few more months just to have less layering and more blunt ends. I honestly just see no point to longer hair w/out nice, thick ends. So, apparently, I will be here awhile longer than anticipated! HAHA I feel like I've been posting on this thread FOREVER!

There's no way I'll be at APL be before 2013 but at least it's growing!
It's a little hard to tell with the angle just how much you've grown, but it looks like a lot!Quote:

If read it in a different forum, that it makes the hair really soft when using it as a prewash and my hair seems to like it a lot, too!Quote:

And after washing it out (with CO) and drying it looks more nourished, than with other oils.
Argan oil shall be another good oil for the hair. I have it at home, but I've not tried it yet...
BTW: I prefer to put oil on damped hair. (But every hair is different.)
Beautiful color Katleen! Looks so healthy!
Looks like your hair has grown a lot Georgies! Love your waves!
I still have a few inches to go to reach APL. I will probably need 1 more trim to get rid of the layers.
yeah, I haven't perfected the art of the self length shot!Quote:

Nah, I think it was the camera angle. It grew somewhere between 2-3 inches - hard to tell with curly hair. I'm hopeless with measuring. I need to switch to doing length shots from the back!
2-3 inches in 3 months is quite a lot, considering the average growth rate is .5in/mo.Quote:

Too true, one of my friends has 3c hair and she only gets it cut once a year and it never seems to get longer, just bigger.
I am so close to APL, just an inch or so. I will try to get a photo but Photobucket does not like me for some reason... But it is growing and I just leave it up most of the time so I am not obsessing over it. At least I can get it into a bun. That is progress for me!
It has grown heaps, Georgies :)Quote:

Hi all! :)
I'm going to the hairdresser on Monday to cut my APL hair off to SL. Thought I would peek in here and introduce myself. The reason I'm cutting is because of bleach. I'm going to cut off as much as I can stand to lose and get healthy, beautiful hair. :cheese:
Welcome Malin!
I'm getting slightly depressed about my new color :( I was afraid it was too warm for my skintone, I need really ashy colors... This was a color 7N so according to my hairdresser very neutral. He was afraid to put on an ashy tone as it might turn out green.
I cannot count the people who have asked me in the last few days if I'm sick, or if I feel okay, because I don't look so healthy... I know, that's why I cannot stand warmth in my hair, it makes me look sick. I need massive amounts of make-up on my face to make me look slightly alive. And I feel bad about wearing that much make-up, that just isn't me...
Because I don't want to damage my hair any more than it already is, I'm not even thinking about putting something over it. Even if I would, all the box dyes or rinses you'll find are in warm tones, not a cool tone to be found...
Sorry to vent about this, but I was quite happy with the trim and I thought I could get used to the color, but I can't... I almost want to cry everytime I catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror...
Hi Malin!! :)Quote:

Maybe give yourself some more time to get used to it?
Hey Daniverde,
I'll see if I can post a picture this evening or during the weekend... The color itself is nice enough, but I have a very cool skin tone...
This looks completely reddish on my head, and even orange under certain lighting :-(
Thanks for the welcome, I'm happy to be here! :)Quote:

Hi all, I have a question.
At what length did you claim shoulder length? I think I should be there by the end of May. My hair pulled straight hits my trap muscle area, but if I were to draw a line between the tips of both shoulders, I still have around 2 inches to go.
I claimed shoulder when it touched my shoulders (link to photo), even though it hit the line you speak of 2 months later (link to photo).Quote:
