Did a CO today, no biggie, nothing else going on hair wise.  I did purchase some shea oil though.  I'm not sure if I like it yet, I'll know after a few uses I guess.

Finally took my moms cat (now my cat) to the vet.  I'd had him for months, but I'd put off taking him because I had been wishy washy as to wether I'd keep him or not.  Well, of course I still have him and I don't have any plans of giving him up so, we went to the vet today and I was shocked at the bill.  He needed a check up and shots so today's visit was 200.00 and we'll still have to pay another 600.00 for his appointment next week.  He needs a few teeth pulled and he needs groomed.  Owning pets is very expensive.

It certainly can be!

My family is kind of in the same boat with the whole cat/vet situation. One of the neighbourhood strays adopted us, so we've been looking after him for a few months. He needs a lot of work and is, erm, not the most well-mannered cat we've ever known. That's for sure!  Tongue  So who knows what we'll do with him, really...

On the financial note, just be glad you don't have horses!!  Shocked

Yes, pets ARE expensive.  Dogs are worse than cats, and big dogs are worse than little dogs.  (Everything seems to be based on weight!)  Horses, of course are even more expensive.... I don't even want to think about them!

But, pets can be wonderful.  I guess that's why we spend the money.  Wink

I couldn't even imagine how much a vet bill for a horse would be, I don't even want to try Smiley

That's right, and money comes and goes... so oh well, they're worth it.

I washed my hair again today.  CO's just never do it for me.  For whatever reason, my hair needs shampoo to feel soft and clean.  After CO's, my hair is always hard and crunchy so I'm finally done with them.  I'll just continue to make sure I dilute my shampoo prior to washing.

My hair's not as curly as yours, I have discovered that I need to shampoo about once every 2 weeks or else my scalp gets sore.  I wonder why your hair would get crunchy with conditioner...maybe cut back on the amount you're using?

Does the relax treatment dry out your hair or scalp?

I use a protein conditioner so maybe it could be that I'm really not sure, but I do use a ton of it. 

Yes, the relaxer does dry out the hair afterwards, I have to apply a moisturizer to it.

Since I washed my hair a few days ago, I've yet to put any product on it.  No leave in conditioners, no oil's of any kind, no moisturizing lotion and I still love it.  I'm beginning to realize that I may not need to use styling products because it feels so much softer without them at least so far.  I'm going to cotinue this for a while and see what comes out of it.

I'd been wearing my hair parted down the center with 2 braided plaits on each side and I love it.  It's fun and I like that when I take the plaits loose, I can make 2 wavy pigtails out of each one.

Oh, I got my cat back from the vet today.  I don't know why I agreed to getting a lion shave.  He's a boy cat but now he looks like a weird fru fru poodle.  I'm sure he must feel quite emasculated.   I just can't wait until his fur grow back becasue the current texture is weird, he was cut down so low he feels like suede and more like a mouse than a cat.  I miss all of his cuddly fur. looking at him now is so weird because in a way it's as if he's naked.

Beleive me, I will post pic a later.

When proteins build up on the hair, it will get crunchy.  When doing CO washings, it is usually recommended that you avoid proteins and cones since both build up on the hair shaft.  A vinegar rinse will usually eliminate the buildup.

Thats really good to know, thanks Bikerbraid. Smiley

I've decided to apply some Aveda light elements to my hair this morning.  It's a very light spritz of a water based moisturizer.  So far I like it it's so light my hair still feels product free just a little softer.  So far, I like the feel of not having products in my hair.

Also the BIG thing that I'm excited about is that my alopecia spot has filled in and my hair is really growing!  I'm very happy about this!Smiley

Thank you ladies. Cheesy

Here's my poor naked kitty before and after.  I can't even let him sit outside now because I think he'd freeze to death. Sad

Yep, unfortunately so.  It'll take 6 months for him to look normal again. Cry
