Ack - I forgot all about Treatment Tuesday..!

Well, I just washed my hair & applied some mineral oil to the ends, I really hope this helps the dryness.

I think you only need to microwave the mixture to stop the honey from lightening your hair... So if you don't mind it, you can just mix it and put it on your hair...
I'm not sure if a blowdryer has enough power to stop the peroxide from working without heating the SMT too much.

Bunnysaur, those are gorgeous hairsticks!!!!

Well, I wouldn't mind having lighter hair, but seeing the honey bleach damage threads makes me a little scared. Especially since my hair, due to moving to a hard water area, is quite fragile to begin with. You're probably right about the blowdryer... I will try and see.

You need to heat the honey until it bubbles to get rid of the peroxide - atleast the hairdryer I have doesn't get that hot. If you have a kettle or a frying pan, you could try putting the honey in a mug and then place the mug in the frying pan/kettle, then fill the kettle with water and boil it for a while until the honey is hot enough.

How did it go with the CO-not-working-thing, AndreaPetrea, btw? Have you managed to find a suitable conditioner yet?

Hmm yeah, you're probably right. I don't have a kettle, but I do have a frying pan Good idea!

Well... Not very well I found my normal conditioner, and it still didn't work. I wouldn't be surprised if I am now known as the girl with greasy hair, even though I wash it every other day. Today I washed with SLeS shampoo (again) and for the first time in more than a year used a treatment with dimethicone just as an experiment. My hair still hasn't dried, so I don't know how it will work out. But I found a split hair yesterday, so I'm terrified and willing to do anything!

I am going to be on holidays for the next little bit. I am going to try to ignore my hair while gone, maybe it will feel like it has grown then.

May you all get amazing hair growth while I am gone.

Enjoy your holidays!!!! Don't think about your hair, just put it up and forget about it!

[Bunnysaur]

Have fun on holiday, kielrain!

I just wanted to add that as my hair is getting longer, and I've inadvertently switched off cones, I seem to be getting waves! I'm definitely still in the 1b range, but I think I might end up as a 1c or maybe a 2a eventually. AAAACCCKKKK I'M SO EXCITED!

For most of my life I thought my hair was straight, very frizzy and greasy. Since switching to a more natural regimen and stretching my washes I found out that my hair is clearly not straight, produces way less oil than I thought and my frizz these days is mainly from baby hairs sprouting all over the place

Wow bunnysaur! I'm excited for you as well, and I can't wait to see it. Yay!

I can hardly wait until the next towel test to show you all
I've been getting some pretty crazy growth, too, I can now pull my layers back into my pony tail

I guess the rooibos hair treatment is working for you? Maybe I should give it a try... I've also switched back to a no silicone and sulfate free hair line by L'OREAL, and my hair now gets wavier and curlier when I air dry, but i'll probably switch back to cones on hot humid days because I just want to avoid frizzy hair days if I can. hahaha
