Same with me, the mass of hair is growing larger, and the ponytail feels thicker in my hand, even though overall it's the same length as it was in April, when I started to take proper care of it.

ive finally started my degree (yay!) so i can ignore my hair and stop fussing with it......it tends to grow and behave if i dont pay attention to it. hopefully my november measurement will make me squeal with delight    hehe.

ive decided that im not going to measure my hair again until the new year cos im soooooooooo bored of being disappointed each month  and then i shall only measure every 3 months....better results that way! mwaha!

im also washing my hair less cos of my college work load. i dont like the icky greasyness on my scalp but that can be hidden with hats and scarves (not to self....buy a hat) but when my scalp is greasy my length is super uber soft! woohooo!!! i lurve it  ill also keep more of my hair as i lose a family of squirrels everytime i comb out my wet hair  ahwell!

i did a teeny tiny trim yesterday....ends look a bit neater. i didnt feel bad about losing a bit of length now im not measuring for a while. its mad that i feel guilty about trimming! like im going to hurt my hairs' feelings!  crazy lady!

GRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW!!! ok...im still mainly concentrating on the health of my hair but it doesnt seem to be growing    i think im going to take up scalp massage. but then again i may be surprised...its hard to see growth with this much hair. i want it to be at least 38" when i measure again in January. i have grown to loathe that 37 number 

i bought the best hair scarf thing the other day for £2.99!! its all satiny and a gorgeous electric blue colour! woo! another addition to my "hide the greasy unwashed hair" collection  im getting used to only washing twice a week...so much less fuss!

i dont know why but ive only been wearing braids and things recently....todays the first day in ages that ive worn hairsticks/a bun. ive decided that infinity buns and damp weather do wonders for my volume...i took down my hair after coming home from college and it was all thick and lovely which cheered me up after walking home in the dark whilst it was raining.

i found out some great news from a friend! she has hair thats just below the shoulders....soon shes cutting it to just below her chin to get rid of her layers, but then shes growing it to about her waist!!! yay!!! i'm taking it upon myself to coach her  so much fun! shes the first person to say "cool" when told about me growing my hair to my knees...everyone else looks puzzled or says "wont that get annoying?" OR thinks im joking. its a mad, mad world out there....occasionally scary.

hmmm.....

if i had magical hair powers, i would.....

-heal all the damage
-heal all the splits
-make it so my hair can never damage or split again
-make all the strands below shoulder length all the same length (i like my face framing tendrils above my shoulders)
-make sure i had an inch growth every month without fail! (i'm limiting it to an inch cos you cant have everything can you?  and i wouldnt want to reach my goals too quickly as it takes out all the fun)
-no more itchy flaky scalp with horrible white crud *yuck*


oh if only i had these magical hair powers  


------------------------------

yesterday at college i was cutting off the odd split end when my friend turned to me and said "i wish i could reach my hair like you" (meaning that i could bring the ends of my pigtails up to my face for closer inspection...but she only has shoulder length hair so cannot do this). my other friend chimed in saying that my hair was "so long"  
i told them that i was still growing.....telling them about my dreams of knee length hair (when i told them this, they looked like this >>>   but in a good way...i think   ) they THEN started asking me if i would ever cut it off. i said NO WAY!! even when they asked about cash incentives. i ended up telling them about how attached to your hair you get after you care for it so lovingly and have been with it for a long while.

i love hair conversations!

-------------------

its so random...i look in the mirror just now and all the little tendrils that use to get in my face are shoulder length!   wowie! they will go into an updo, but after a while they fall out. its ok though....they can be tucked behind my ears  

tried something new out this evening when washing.

cos im so bored of combing out my hair and applying jojoba EVERY time after i wash (its so tedious for me), i decided to dilute some (if you call it that) in a cup and do a final rinse on my ends with it.

now, because i also use this cup to dilute my shampoo...it got a tad frothy on top (only a bit cos i had rinsed the cup....though obviously not thoroughly enough) so i had to do i quick rinse after i applied the jojoba+water.....though i couls still smell the jojoba after this so i dont think i rinsed it all away.

my hair is still wet and currently in a bun to keep it out of my way (my back gets cold and damp...not good in november!) so i'll have to post the results tomorrow. i hope it works cos it means i can be a bit more lazy! woo!

but think of it this way - what a great day of conditioning!  8)
