Maroula, I just noticed that you had started up a journal, my apologies for not being more conscientious. Smiley Something struck me while reading, you were using one product and it wasn't working. Then, you started another product and, rightfully so, are waiting to see if it falls short too. Might you simply have product build up? Do you ACV rinse at all? Over the years, even before I started to allow my hair to grow long, I would always get a product build up; perhaps, not in the way most people think, my hair simply became immune to a product over time.

...

My hair had acquired, if you will, an immunity to the product I was using. I wonder if an ACv rinse might restore your excellent results with your old favored product or, should your new product follow the same path?


NaturalRogue, don't worry about missing my little journal, I only just started and it's really only to keep track of my using LML.

You have asked a very good question.  I am a sloppy writer in some instances.  My brain is usually way ahead of my fingers and thus I forget great amounts of information at times.   Embarrassed

I never use a product exclusively. LML will actually be the first product line I use without rotating with something else.  

I used to clarify with ACV, I made my own herb infused ACV that sits in my fridge when I need it.  I hate the scent, I truly do, lol, but I use it when I need to.  I had used it with the Ojon and traded off with other product brands, but something about the Ojon just sat on my hair.  Gabi had the same results with it that I did, so it wasn't just my imagination.

I really think it was just a combination of alot of stress and changes in my diet coupled with a product that really was just too heavy for my fine hair. Smiley

LML has alot of different shampoos and conditioners to rotate with, so that works for me.  Right now everything seems to be working well, clarifying by either shampoo or ACV will be a definite along the way.

Thank you so much for all your suggestions, I really do appreciate it.   Kiss

Jumped back into the gym after nearly a year...my body is not happy with me right now. Tongue

It is so very hot and humid today, my poor hair.  It looked really good after I washed it, I scrunched a bit of Aubrey's MM into the ends, front and then a bit throughout.  Lots of waves and a couple of loose curls, however, as soon as I combed it most came out.  I don't like how my hair looks uncombed, too thin and piecey.  If my hair was a bit fuller I wouldn't mind so much.  I may have to mix up a batch of lavendar mist to mist the waves back in after combing.  That usually keeps it looking fuller.

I can't wait for my order from LML to come.  It's longer this time than last time, however, Gabi said there was a holiday last week.

Maroula, be careful not to overtrain while getting back into a regular exercise routine.  Be patient with the process and you'll be happier and healthier!  I recommend a hot bath w/epsom salts to help w/muscle soreness-its cheap and effective.  Keep up w/your pure water intake also.  Be sure to stretch after your work out-it will decrease lactic acid buildup (which is what causes the muscle soreness).  If your gym has a sauna or steamroom these can also help your recovery.  Sleep is one of the most important factors in allowing your body to repair itself.
Congratulations on getting yourself back to the gym, that 1st step is always the hardest.

Yay, Maroula!!

I'm waiting on LML, too.  Sure hope it comes tomorrow!!

Hey Maroula  Grin

Have you tried scrunching with the #10b and a little water after it's dry.  I plan to experiment with that.  #19 is also recommended for use as a kind of gel.

I don't know for sure if Monday was a Canadian holiday Undecided

Did you get a sample of LM's "non-salt" - I have no idea what the composition is but I think I like it - I've been using it after running and I think they may be an electrolite boost.

You know what this means don't ya - I'm going to have to do another order *yikes*...g

Thanks Sakina!  I don't like baths that much, too big for the tub. Tongue lol

I am going slow, I took today off, I'll be back tomorrow.  I only went for about a half hour each of the three days I went.  I stretch before I start and try to remember afterwards, thanks for the reminder. Smiley  I weighed in today and almost lost all that I gained when my hubby was in the hospital.  3.5 lbs to goal!   Cheesy

My sent ticket was waiting in my email  today when I got home from work this evening, yay!!  Did you get your order today?

I tried scrunching with the #10b on Sunday,  I liked how it looked alot...I'll have to play around with it and see what I can live with. Wink

No, I didn't get any 'non-salt' yet, but it sounds interesting.

How many orders have you made already dear? lol

I also have a sent ticket, estimated date of delivery is the 28th, which is a Sunday.

Congratulations on your 3.5# decrease!  Sorry to hear hubby was in hospital.  I hope he's better.  Sure is stressful when loved ones are unwell.

Keep up the good work, if you hit a plateau pm me and I'll cheer you on!!

Excuse Me  Shocked -
3.5 to goal


And don't believe her Sakina - she's still thinking way bigger than she is and the picture doesn't properly represent because it got squished.

*cough cough* as to how often I have ordered.  Weeellllllll, I'm about to do it again - salts, split nippers, maybe some face cream, oh, this n' that  Grin ... g

Sakina my estimated delivery date is the 29th, we should be getting packs around the same time. Smiley  I got my first package from them 2 days after the sent ticket, so according to that I would have it today, but you know how the mail is. Tongue

Hubby is better now, but this is going to be an ungoing thing for him, being in and out of hospitals.  We have done this before.  Hubby is a kidney transplant receipient and the transplanted kidney is failing.  So he is back on dialysis while waiting for a new one. 

Thank you for the encouragement, that is so sweet of you!  Gabi is my personal cheerleader and I think has helped me lose quite of few of those 83 lbs just by listening to her cheers.  Cheesy 

Have a great day!  Smiley

Gabi, you are the best, don't forget it.   Kiss

And I think I'm gonna have to make you list everything you've gotten outside of the magic pack to see if there is any extra purchasing in my future besides the MP.   Wink

Thank you Juri.  Yes, it's going to be hard, but we've been through this before so we know what we are in for...it makes it a bit easier, you know? Smiley

Thank you, as gabi said, I tend to view myself as larger than I appear to everyone else. Wink  Maybe when I get to goal it'll be easier to accept. lol
