Yep, school is keeping me busy. Boy, am I looking forward to Thanksgiving break. We get Wednesday through Sunday off. Next week will be busy because teachers seem to think we have nothing to do during break so they make papers and presentations due right after we get back. Tongue

But it's ok. I'm keeping on top of stuff enough that it shouldn't be too bad.
Hair update: still CWC. I use Swave conditioner, Swave shampoo and then V05 conditioner. My scalp isn't too bad. A little oilly, but ok. I just got a new type of V05 conditioner that says it's clairifying. We'll see if it makes a difference or if I should just stick with ACV rinses. My mom bought it for me, so I kind of feel obligated to use it. Undecided

I hope it works well.
Split ends are rampent. Angry

I always find them while sitting in class. I have taken to putting a pair of fingernail clippers and using those to trim in class. I wonder if my professors mind. Cheesy

I wish I could figure out what I'm doing to keep them coming back. I wet comb it, but with a wide toothed comb and very carefully. I oil it. Maybe they're just left overs. I don't know.

I'm not sure if my comb has seams. How do you tell? It's plastic, so it might. Is there a way to fix that?

Hair being good. I'm thinking about going half and half on CWC and COW. Would that be ok? It's nice and soft today. My ends are a little crunchy and dry. I'm not sure what to do with them. I oil every 2 weeks or so with Olive oil. It helps everything else, but the ends. sigh. Maybe it's the split ends, but even the one's without the splits are a little crunchy. Tongue

Life is good. I think my boyfriend will be proposing soon. Cheesy

Some time in the next month or two I'm expecting it.

It's fun to wait, but it's driving me crazy. He told me he will talk to my family and his family first and I will be the only one in the dark. I love that boy! I'll let ya'll know when it happens (along with details!!)

School is keeping me busy. I'm holding my breath for Christmas break. It can't come fast enough. Just 2 and half more weeks then I'm good to go until the 9th of January (which I think is too early to begin school, but if it means we get out earlier in the long run, I'm ok with it)

I use a nail file to file the edges/seams to be smooth.

God, that's.....amazing! You are so lucky, wishing4longhair!!!

It seems like everyone's getting engaged. *sigh* It would make this hopeless romantic truly swoon, were it not for the facts that a.) I'm divorced, and b.) I know that my current boyfriend will NEVER propose.

Ah well. I'm still happy for everyone else. There's nothing quite like finding the love of your life, and no experience equivalent to marrying him.

You may want to consider using a heavier oil on the very ends of your hair. Like mineral or vegetable oil. I know, it sounds gross, but they work!

All the best, wishing. God bless.

If you can get some shea butter, try using it on the ends. Oils can result in crunchy hair so shea might work better. Or perhaps it's time to clarify?

He did it! I'm offically engaged!! Grin

Details: Friday was our one year anniversity, so he made us dinner. Then we went to a huge outdoor mall downtown and went ice skating. Then he took me up to the 5th floor which is the top one and sat me down on a bench. He had written me a poem and everything. Afterwards, we went back to my house where his whole family, my family and all our friends were waiting for us. It was so romantic. I've been told by several people that I've been beeming all week. When I get a picture of the ring, I'll post it.

Here's a picture of us. It's a little old, but it's still fun.

Ok, now that you all knew,

back to hair info. I'm looking into getting jojoba oil for my hair. At least once a week I attack my split ends. It's feeling more healthy and is growing (slowly, but it's still growing)
Nothing too exciting happening on the hair front. I'm trying to grow it to my goal length by the time summer comes around which is when we want to get married. No offical date yet, but sometime maybe July. And at the rate I'm growing, it should work out. *crossing fingers*

Thanks you guys. It's so cool to be able to share this fabulous news with you all. Grin

My hair is thrown up because I didn't feel like dealing with it. I look forward to going home and washing the last of my finals away. Yep, no more school stress until the 9th of Jan. I'm ready for a long break. Asking for hair stuff for Christmas!!

It's cheaper than buying it myself.
