Egad...Beyoncé, Shakira, Paulina Rubio, Britney...you must be young!

Also, I think its too difficult to do a cold rinse during the winter. But since the cold air outside makes my hair so shiny, I figure it's not necessary.. Does anyone have any insight on this? 

I always use cool water on my hair throughout the entire wash cycle, in any season. Nothing colder than I can stand, of course, and certainly not all the way cold! lol But then I have a high tolerance for cold. Especially in water form.

Cool works just fine. All you want to do is close the hair, not make your lungs seize up!! It took my hair quite a while to get long enough for the curl to develop. I use shampoo and conditioner formulated specifically for curly hair and it really helps!

It was pretty much a bad hair weekend for me Angry

My hair feels much drier than I really thought it was!
I went out a lot this weekend, which meant a lot of styling and drying out my hair. Undecided

I also drank a lot this weekend which probably completely dehydrated my body/hair.

I'm trying to avoid hot oil treatments for the time being because they will strip my hair color.. But I really wish I could do one right now! I think for the next week or so I am going to only wash my hair on every THIRD day, and moisturize, moisturize, moisturize Wink

I really feel that if my hair was just a TIIIINY bit longer I would NEVER have any bad hair days/weekends. Cool

ugh. still waiting for long locks!! Shocked

Yesterday I said I was going to start washing my hair on only every THIRD day, but I don't think I can do it. Anyways, today after using Redken rescue fortifying treatment, my hair feels so SOFT and strong. Also I am just starting to notice the positive effects of the hair/skin/nails vitamins.. My hair is starting to feel fuller! It really hasn't been that long since I started taking them every day, but I can always feel the effects of vitamins on my hair when I first start taking them. Hopefully there will be more HEALTHY hair to come! Tongue

Haven't really touched my hair much today ... just letting it rest Cheesy

Threw on a hat and that was it!

I'm starting to feel like my hair is shrinking the way a cotton shirt shrinks in a dryer lol Undecided

Actually the thickness is fine, but its just the length.

Anyways! Grin

I'm loving my darker color! I think that when I go in for my next trim I am going to have them take my hair EVEN DARKER... back to black! or actually ... the dark, dark, dark brown that my hair really is Wink

My shortest layer still doesn't fit into a low ponytail which is kind of annoying Angry

It will probably be long enough by the time I go for my next trim and then they will just chop it off!!

haha Ok that's enough!
I'm going to chill out on my hair drama for now,
take my vitamins,
and try to go find some optimism Roll Eyes

Everything we do, ingest, stress over, etc. has an effect on our hair...EVERYthing.

Yeah, I used to believe that too. Wrong-o, Mary Lou! Wink

Just concentrate on treating your hair the best that you know how, keep reading LongLocks, and everything will eventually fall into place. Good luck!

I'm ready to start workin' with the curls!! I began experimenting with mousse & curl cream.. and the results were...okay (would've looked MUCH better if my hair was about an inch longer Wink

) but i have made big improvements!

the other night i decided to go out wearing a very slicked back bun... a first for me! My boyfriend loved it, but i grew up with a mother who thought hair should always be down and styled whenever you leave the house. At first I literally thought I was going to have a panic attack, because the only times I had ever rocked slicked back buns were for ballet recitals and dance performances when you pile on pounds of gel and hairspray to keep the hair in tact number after number.... and I must've flashed back to then. I was like, what am I doing wearing a bun? Shocked

Anyways, I actually got a lot of compliments on it, but since then i've had my hair undone 24/7! Roll Eyes

Reply #24 - Jan 15^th, 2008 at 8:58pm

My HAIR!

Today I read that almonds are great for the hair so I am going to try eating more! I'm out of my vitamins also, so I have to go get some more before i forget!

Yesterday I washed only with mane and tail conditioner and then i flat ironed and it came out so well! it straightened very nicely! I've tried so many things in the past to straighten my hair, and this was the time it has even come out this well and has held sooo well. I really recommend a try for anyone with thick hair that is hard to straighten!

Reply #26 - Jan 15^th, 2008 at 11:55pm That's pretty much the actual color.. there are some lighter parts (the highlights are beginning to come thru) as you can see on the upper left hand side... but the overall color is a dark, dark brown. I see what you mean about the lighting or the angle make it look darker!
