So, to start off this thread again: i got some new (hair-)stuff and have completely forsaken my 'use up your stash' challenge

First, i ordered a couple of EO/perfume oils online. I got vanilla, peach, peppermint(EO), eucalyptus(EO), mandarin (EO) and rose. I also got a little plastic jar, so i put some unscented coconut oil in and mixed it with some vanilla, peach and mandarin oil. So now i have a delicious smelling body/hair oil that's totally awesome, even though the smell doesn't last very long (doesn't bother me as it would attract bugs).
I also got a buy 2, get 1 free deal on some Dove nourishing oil care products. As you may or may not know, I've been trying out cones again to see how they work for me after learning so much on LHC. I got the dayly intensive conditioner (so not the regular conditioner) and the hair mask in a jar. I haven't tried them yet, but i will soon

Also, my Flexi8's have shipped so I will be expecting them in a couple of weeks or so!
I hope this thread will come back to life now, i just love reading all of your hair adventures

OMG Mega I'm so jealous! I can't wait to hear your review for tuesday treatment, and then some action shots of your Flexi8!

It will probably be a monday treatment, or even a saturday/sunday treatment

but whatever it is, you will hear from me this week

I think that it was Terra who gave the tip to try doing complex buns at a half-up do because your hair here is generally longer around that area (crown area?), I think she got it from some board, I just don't remember where.

The only problem I see with Terra's tip is this might pose some difficulties if you have layers. Hmmm bunnysaur do you have any pics of you without bangs? Cause it might be worthwhile to consider growing out any layers in the back of your head but still have bangs? Or is your bangs the only layer you have, I don't remember if you mentioned where you have layers.

P.S These are bullet sticks Kimi sent me. And now you can see how my hair looks like before I oil it. Super coarse like horse hair!

Those sticks are so cool! My fork is going to be showing up soon, I can hardly wait! Your hair does look pretty coarse without oiling, but that thickness is to die for.

Maybe you should try to get some length pics? I'm sure it's growing!

Awww. I won't reach my goal of BSL by the end of the year.

According to that excel chart, I should be at APL in a month and BSL in about 9 months. Interesting.

**Bunnysaur** · May 24th, 2012, 04:49 PM

Mine says I'm 27 days out from APL and 8 months 2 days from BSL.

We're pretty close! You'll hit both before me. Your growth rate has got to be tons faster than mine.

Aww thanks! And you have the texture to die for, now let's switch for a day! Please do with the length pics. I miss seeing your hair on this board.

What is this excel chart that I'm missing out on. I don't know if i'll qualify because I have a weird growth pattern. It goes like this- no growth to big bang growth spurt. LOL

I've been growing my hair out since June of last year when I lobbed it off from APL to chin, dreadful. I hoped my hair would be strait, yeah right. Okay evidently my ends still flip in opposite directions-especially if the weight isn't there. So now I'm trying to reach TB overall but APL is what I want for my birthday! It has two months give or take a couple days, maybe I can make it! My current routine is wash every 2 days-not very faithfully-with J.R. Ligget's shampoo bar and follow up with white rain conditioner because it's cone free. I take folic acid and biotin-again unfaithfully-in the hopes that it will *kind-of-not-really* help.

. And I use a wide tooth comb that needs to be sanded and a double sided BB brush, for my brushing and detangling needs. It's just to the fold of my armpits when wet, but pulls up about a half inch as it dries. I wouldn't consider myself to be at soild APL until my hair stays, when dry, below the little arm fold line thingy.

maybe soon! End of July please, it would be a wonderful b-day present-self.
