I know you just can't help but feel sorry for him right? Shocked

Hair Today, I applied some shea oil to my hair but was careful not to apply too much.  Typically, I like to apply lots of oil because my hair is so dry, but this time I only used a few drops.  It looks healthier and shinier with the oil yet, I don't  have product overload.  I was using so much stuff to protect my hair from the blow dryer, but since I haven't used it in quite awhile now I guess it was finally time that I stopped using so much gunk.

Recently, I've been able to hold off on washing until my hair begins to feel crunchy.  I'm wondering when or if that will even happen now that I'm using less products?

Today, I washed and conditioned with Sunsilk Hydra TLC.  It's the first time I've used this product.  It wasn't as moisturizing as I thought it would be but my hair turned out fine.  

I didn't realize how long I was in the shower, and the water turned cold before I could get all of the conditioner out.  I did a rush job and thought I'd gotten it all, but after scratching my scalp I realized that I didn't.  I'm just going to let it go.  I don't think leaving some conditioner in should be a problem.

I've been using Giovanni's direct leave in conditioner for about a week now and I really like it.  The directions say to apply it after washing but, I've been using it as a daily moisturizer instead of oil which hasn't been working too well for me lately.  I was looking for something like this at my local Wild Oats store with no luck, but then I saw it mentioned here in the product reviews and thought I'd give it a try.  It's really keeping my hair moisturized nicely even with the indoor heat.  I've also been using humidifiers but they only seem to do so much.

Anyway, even with my hair up most of the time, I'm noticing that my ends are tapering again even though I trimmed an inch off about two months ago.  I only stopped using my blow dryer this past fall, so maybe I'm still having breakage due to all of the prior years of abusing heat.  I refuse to trim again though.  Not that its that bad yet, but if I'm just going to wind up with tapered ends even after trimming I might as well just let the trimming go.

It's been so cold here lately (just as it's been everywhere else).  I hate the cold so I've pretty much holed myself in my apartment like a hermit, going out as little as possible.  I did venture out so that my youngest kitty could experience snow for the first time, but to my surprise she didn't like it AT ALL.  This was as far as she'd go. Sad

I love Giovanni products, and had good results with them.  I just can't afford them right now.   Sad

Cute kitty!  I love the boots your wearing!  I too am holded up like a hermit myself due to the cold.  I've never tryed Giovanni before, I like Jason.  I would love to try Ojon Tawaki but man is it's not cheap!

I'm going to try the Giovanni 50/50 Shampoo and Conditioner next.  I really do hope I like it because it really isn't cheap experimenting with product after product, but at least my sister makes out.  I mail her the products that don't work out for me.  At this rate, she'll never have to buy shampoo and conditioner again.

Thanks Lisabelle.  I love these boots they are very warm.

My kitty thanks you all for the compliments, as she takes so much time and  pride in her grooming! Cheesy

Well, I decided to go ahead and relax my hair today instead of at the end of the month as I'd planned.  My roots were getting really thick and poofy due to my new growth and I had gotten tired of it. 

I was also wanting to trim soooo bad because my ends seemed to be tapering and thin looking, but after washing and relaxing, my ends actually turned out to be fuller than they initially appeared although I'm not quite sure why that is.  Since my roots were no longer poofy, I took a measure and got a little over 25.5 inches.  I was really shocked that it was only 25.5 inches because it looked so very long (for my hair) but I guess it only seemed so long because lately I'd been wearing my hair wavy which takes from the length.  25.5 makes sense though because at my last measure after my last trim 2 months ago, I was 24.5 inches.

I'm getting ready again, making plans to go back to Las Vegas to see Prince in concert next month.  His performance dates are not yet confirmed for March so I'm hoping he'll still be there.  In the meantime I am shopping again for travel outfits so if he will be performing I'll be ready.

Is that pine based treatment still working for you?

AHHHH!!!!  I wish there was an undo button.  I just accidentally deleted my entire post!  I meant to hit enter and I hit delete Angry  Oh well.

Sakina:  I've been through so many products that I don't even recall a pine based one, so whatever it was no, I guess it didn't work out for me. Undecided

Hair: When I'm washing out my relaxer, I tend to scrub like a maniac to make sure I've removed all traces of the chemicals so in doing so, I typically tangle it up pretty good.  Yesterday when I finished washing, I was only able to detangle enough to put my hair into two plaits but this morning when my hair was dry, I really had a job ahead of me.  It took me about 5 hours to get through it all and get all of the tangles out. Shocked  Surprisingly, it didn't seem like such a long time though.  I had my iPod going the whole time and I was singing along to the music and dancing while I was going through my hair, so basically I had a detangling party.  I haven't applied any heat to it (and of course I'm not going to) so right now my hair looks huge like Diana Ross's but I'm happy with it.  I'm just glad that I won't have to do this again for another 2 or 3 months. Cool

5 HOURS?!  Oh my stars and garters, girl!   Shocked  I have a new respect for what you must go through to have long hair.  I don't know if I could do that, and I'm an extremely patient woman.  *hugs*

Now, I've heard people say "Oh my stars" but "garters" is a new one for me, although I do like it! Wink

I remember the first time my hair ever got that tangled. I began sobbing like a child because I thought it would be absolutely impossible to detangle and I was certain that I'd have to cut all of my hair off but my husband came to the rescue.  He sat there with me all night long helping me to detangle and he even showed me how to do it so that it doesn't take as long.  I know that 5 hours is a long time but it sure beats all night long, especially when you have no clue as to what your doing.

My hair doesn't get that tangled after a regular wash, only after I apply relaxers (chemical straighteners) and I'm really scrubbing to remove them.   As long as I don't manipulate my hair much while washing, the tangles aren't bad.

But at the same time, as I was detangling I did wonder if I'd be able to keep this up with hair that's 10 inches longer than it is now.  Oh well, only time will tell, but until then I'll keep on truckin' full steam ahead to grow my hair longer. Smiley

I just got this flower leather stick barrette in the mail today.  I love it, but I'm going to wait until spring to wear it.
...

This is my hair from last year around this time.  Because I've cut so much hair off last year (I figured about 4.5 inches) I currently don't have much more length than this.

...


On another note, my cat (the one with the $800.00 pet bill last month) is sick again.  He's been sneezing nonstop for a few days.  I called the vet to get suggestions as to what to do.  They mentioned to me on a prior visit that most of the meds they prescribe can be purchased over the counter but instead of recommending something, they said I should bring him in for a diagnosis.  Geesh!  My dad said they must love to see me coming.  I've decided to wait a few more days to take my cat to the vet.  If it's a cold, hopefully it will naturally and cheaply run it's course.
