January 1, 2006

We had a good, safe trip and and a good time--thank you for your well-wishes!

It is good to be back!!!!!!!!!!! At home, and at Longlocks! The water in Memphis left my hair feeling like...like, I don't know the word to describe it. SOOOOOOOOOO soft. I discovered a new style that is basicly a "messy updo" using a banana clincher comb clip, leaving some hair down at the back of the neck and the rest clipped up high. I like the "messy" look, partly because it fits my personality and partly because I don't have to worry about hairs being out of place. When you wear the "messy" look you can just relax and LIVE.

I'm actually going to trim on January 7--the first Saturday of the month. Just a micro trim for good end-health and thickness.

My hair was actually satisfactory most of the time during vacation. I wore it clipped back in a bun in the car during the long road trip (long hair and long car rides just don't mix) but once we arrived at Grandparents' I could be "myself" again. I wore it up in the banana clip every day, with the ends cascading around the side of my head. I don't see many women besides myself wearing banana clips these days...I wonder why?

(I add a few hair combs and a barrette to the style, for staying power.)

Thanks be to God, I am starting out the NEW YEAR with a hairstyle I really like and that seems to work!

It's a quarter till 11.........must get to bed!!!

Monday, January 2, 2006

It's hairwash night, tonight. Every other day or else. Or else my scalp gets itchy, oily and acne-ed.

My ends are still feeling healthy, smooth and thick, which is amazing...I was debating whether or not to actually do the monthly microtrim on Saturday, and I finally decided that to prevent damage to my fine hair, it really is a necessity. I want to maintain my thick, healthy ends always. I NEVER want to go back to the damaged, wispy fairy-tale ends I sported for YEARS!!!!!!!!

I think that if I just cut a smidgen off, I won't sacrifice too much length.

I used to trim, like, an inch off every month, in years past...and wondered why my hair never seemed to grow long. Now that I have discovered Longlocks, I have unlocked many secrets to super hair care and growth!

Of course, I have vastly improved my diet, too. Daily flaxseed oil, vitamins, and all around healthy foods have had a drastically wonderful effect on my health and hair. Along with daily vigorous exercise. Which, by the way, I need to be getting around to doing sometime this evening...the whole routine of my life somehow slipped off its axis during Christmas vacation in Tennessee!!!!! How hard it is to get back on my exercise schedule! I'd better just turn on the "Riverdance" CD and go at it. Along with my other toning exercises...

I can't think of any more hair news. The banana clip style is just loverly. I'm quite happy with my hair. Can this last? I hope so! Then I can spend less time worrying about it and more time on the people and things that REALLY matter most!!!!!!!

Oh yes. Brother's new girlfriend has curly hair. It's about chin length and she usually has it pulled tightly back from her face. If I had her hair, I would grow it long and do wondrous things with it. But what would a straightie like me know about a natural curly girl? I have heard that curly girls "fight" with their hair every morning. I can't imagine it would be that bad. Or is it??? Shocked

Thank you, Pan and Juri--it is good to be back!!!

Tuesday, January 3, 2006

My hair felt sort of lifeless and wilty today. It could have been the cloudy, dreary weather, or it could have been emotional factors too. Today would have been my brother's 22nd birthday. He died in July of an accidental overdose. Cry

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh it hurts

so bad

to think of him--------to think of him is like scraping open a wound with a very fragile and tender scab on it. It is better to just leave him in God's Hands and keep on going with life. But if I can save one person's life from drug/alcohol abuse and addiction, I will use whatever opportunity I can to speak out about it...or be a witness.......or SOMETHING..................

So, I'm feeling frustrated with my hair. But.....hair is a good distraction when you are tempted to fall into sorrow. Not that sorrow doesn't have its place, but you can't let it get the best of you...

I may have overconditioned it last night, too--thus contributing to it's limp, wilted appearance. I have read that you shouldn't put conditioner on your roots, but I did that last night--and I don't usually. Hmmmmmmmm, do I see a connection there??

Must sign off for now!

Almost midnight, almost Thursday

Thank you for your kind words, Sakina, Juri and CurlyGirl...

Ughhhhhhhhhh, I guess it was emotions from yesterday that made my hair act so weird. Today it feels SOOOOOOOOOO thick. Bizarre.

Well, I'm up late again. So what else is new. Roll Eyes

New Year's Resolutions down the drain again. Ha, I'm about to take a shower and wash my hair. I can contemplate that fact while I sit in the shower. (Fortunately I'm the only one who uses it downstairs now, since brother #1 moved out...) Does anyone else but me sit on the floor of their shower and inhale the relaxing steam, I wonder..........it does marvels for the sinuses, if you have problems in that area--which I do. So I guess I'd better go sit in the shower and clear my head before bedtime. And wash my hair...but no conditioner on the roots, I think. That HAD to be why my hair was so unmanageable yesterday, rather than due to emotions...

I just found out that there are going to be not one, but TWO trials involving the police going on the day I have to report for jury duty. How interesting..........................just when life is getting good and quiet and uneventful, God throws a curveball at you. Or is it a monkeywrench? I forget the expression. But whatever it is, I'm sure there's a reason for this happening to me...

I MUST start getting in bed earlier...tomorrow for sure. Roll Eyes
