Hair:
Well, I was finally able, after all these months, to get down to Sally Beauty Supply and purchase my deep conditioning treatment and a bottle of jojoba oil. I got in the shower and did my routine. My hair loved it! It no longer looks as though it has been through the mill once or twice. My hair is soft, shiny, and healthy.

As I have stated I belived part of my hair dilemmas was the condition in which it was previously in. Now with this change I am considering waiting, like originally planned, to trim my hair in January. This is still being contemplated; nothing set in stone (the one year no trim idea was an experiment reserved to change at any time). I am just so excited about my hair I had to share!

As most of you know I have been going back and forth between getting a trim in october and waiting until january. I have decided that I am going to go for a trim in october; I made the appointment today. I feel good about this. My hair is in such dire-straights that a couple of inches WILL do some good. I would love to wait it out, but I have to do what is best for my hair and at this point health outweighs length.

I recently went shopping and bought a new bra. I have to buy mine at a specialty store because of my size. This one fits really nice. Did you know that if the back strap of your bra is rising up than your bra is too big? I found that out when I went to get a new bra. She was measuring me and I mentioned it too her and she infomed me. I'm glad I know that now. Anyway back to my point. I now have a bra that fits correctly and I need to make a change in my hair length measurements. I checked twice and my BS length is 23.5" and my midback length is 26". So after I get my hair all one length I will re-examine my length in measuring. I will still post my monthy measurements for record purposes.

Finally, I tried this new method for my hair. I took all my oils and mixed them together along with a capfull of vanilla for the sent. I heated the mix and then put it on my hair dry. I let it sit for 3 hours then rinsed and conditoned. It's hard to tell right now how my hair will react, it is still drying. I will post an upddate to let all of you know how it turned out.

I had my trim today. She only took off an inch, but it looks like more because I had done a couple self trims. My hair feels so much better.

I learned from my experiment of not cutting for a year that I need to at least trim once every 6 months.

I put a photo of my hair how it looks now. I still plan on doing my weekly treatment so this photo will change. This is just so you can have an idea of the length and health.

I have not measured yet and do not plan to until the 1st. I am guessing that with my self trims and the trim I recieved today there is a total of 3-4" of loss, but this is just an approximation.

I hope now, I can start fresh and achieve my goals.

Hi all,

I found these viseos and thought I'd share.

This first video is of a man with very long hair. I say very long becuase I have never seen a man with this length hair.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hPU9Gx5sRI&feature=related


This next video is of women from back in the day I am n ot sure of the year but I would say late 1800's to early-mid 1900's.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndh24sJuUK4&feature=related



Also, I went to Sally today and I was picking up my usual deep conditioning treatment and hot oil and I decided to look on the rack that had hair accessories, and I found hair sticks. Granted they are plastic and were very cheap, but they are my first hairsticks and I am proud to own a few pair FINALLY! The pair on the right is brown if anyone cannot tell from this picture.

Ew, fetish videos are so creepy. Tongue

The 2nd vid I would place from the 1930's. Women at the turn of the century did not wear skirts that short. Not even the *ahem* "working girls." It looks similar to film clips that I've seen from the mid-late 1930's.

And shocking as it may seem, you can find decent hairsticks at places other than LongLocks. Shocked But you must be verrry careful. Be sure to file down any seams that may be damaging and go over your filed spots with clear nail polish.

Hi everyone!

How are all of you? I Have not posted in over a month. I started a video channel on youtube and made a few videos on hair styles. I thought I would share them with you.

Hair:

I have been in a dilemma for a while now with my hair. It is uneven and driving me crazy. Therefore, yesterday I did a self trim. I have not measured yet, but I probably took off about an inch maybe an inch and a half. My hair is still below my shoulders. I would never go above that point. I tried to be patient, but when one side is an icnch or so longer than the other along with annoying layers that are not quite as long as the rest, patience goes right out the window.

I will sacrifice length at this point to get my hair all one length. I know that I do not have the will to wait years upon years of growth and still have shorter hair. I want it all one length. Once this is a factor then I will continue to grow my hair long. So if my measurements are the same or go back an forth for a while you will know why.

I have had layers in my hair for 8 years. I feel this look is played out and boring. Not for others, for me. Everyone has layers now. Yes it looks pretty, but I'm bored with having the same look as everyone else. I want my own look and that look is all one length, blunt style.

Honey, I'm sorry to say it, but the only way to have perfectly even ends is to have someone else - preferably a professional - trim them for you. Self trims look soooo bad!

It helps to know someone who is going through beauty school, or have a trusted barber or stylist who understands that you want one simple, blunt length. Not the highlighted layers and slanted razor cuts of the rest of your generation. It's tricky to find someone like that...but they do exist.

I know I cannot possibly get my hair blunt without help. I do have a hairdresser that I trust which I have been with for 11 years. She does what I want and does not pressure me into anything. I would never let anyone come near my hair with a razor. That is a stupid idea, in my opinion, and should not be allowed in hair salons. I am still sorting out what I want to do. I may just keep my hair as is, with a U-shape, and let it grow a little longer, then get it cut straight across. We shall see...

Hair News:

For the past couple of months I have been contemplating a trim. Finally, on saturday I got one. I only lost an inch and my ends feel great. I still need about an inch more trimmed but I am waiting another six months before I do it again. I also had light layers put in on the side. I am happy with my decision and can now focus more on my hair growth than hair troubles.

I am so frustrated and disappointed with my hair. My ends are horrible. My ends are different lengths, tangle easily, and have split tremendously. I am going to lose a lot of length with this trim coming up at the end of the month. I am just going to have my hair cut straight across. I am thinking I will lose about 4 inches of hair. I wish I did not have to lose so much, but it is what my hair needs. I am hoping My ends will be thicker and I can grow the lose back out and have better luck with the ends.

I know it can be a downer!  Look up though,that trim will be beneficial to your hair!  Damage can only go one place(up) if not dealt with.  So cutting off the damage will only be good!
