Ok, so I am gonna have to wash my hair today. Putting oo in it after washing, made my hair super soft and kept the frizz at bay all day Cool. The next day however, the lavender mist didn't really help piece all my curls together Tongue. Wish I could find some satin pillowcases. My mother-in-law said she used to sleep on them when she was going and having her hair done at the salon everyday! That would be the life!!!
I have some wierd curls on the top of my head that actually want to curl forward instead of laying back like they should. Roll Eyes My hair has always had a life of it's own and done as it pleases. It seems to be growing already Smiley! I find that it seems longer than when I had it cut on the 5th! I haven't measured though. I think I will, so I can figure out how much my hair grows in a months time. My mom had really long hair when I was a baby, and her hair grows super fast! I have been taking a multi, not directed twoards hair, everyday. I hate taking them cause even cut in half, they tend to get stuck in my throat Embarrassed. I usually only take them when hubby is around just incase I can't clear the stupid thing. After the birth of my first son, and I took my prenatals religously, my hair took off growing. I was straightening at that time to, and I think it was the fact I had a demanding newborn that made me cut it, rather than leave it and let it do it's curly thing Undecided.
Ugh, the straightening iron calls to me sometimes Lips Sealed. I am thinking about selling it, but.... Well it's a CHI and I did spend alot of money on it and I am afraid that I might want to straighten it when it gets long, just once in awhile.
Ok, so I am starting with REALLY short hair! I just measured the hair on the top of my head and it is 5"! We will see where it is next month! I am not completely sure how to measure hair, but the hair on the top of my head is longer, so it will work just to help me find out how much my hair grows in a month!

Hair usually grows at a rate of ˝" per month, so it's quite understandable if your hair seems longer than it was on the 5th. It probably is.  Wink

I am excited Cheesy! I never really noticed my hair growth before, and because it is super short I am hoping the time will pass quickly Smiley. My bubby jsut came home and dropped the boys off. He said we have tornado watch! The weather here has been yucky the past two days. The red flag warnings are coming on a daily basis. I guess the basement of our house might come in handy!
Thanks to all you LL members! You have really inspired me to grow my hair HEALTHY!

So, we took my boys to the zoo Thursday, and did some shopping, well as much as I could get in having three small boys with me Roll Eyes. The kids really liked the zoo, although it was smaller than I remember. We went to pojos to eat and play games. I have to say the day turned out okay for the way it started. My youngest became sick as we were living town Embarrassed. He wasn't running a fever, so we continued on our trip. Then right as we were coming into the towm where we were headed, he got sick again, and then nothing the rest of the time.
My deva products arrived!! Used them yesterday, hair felt really soft and was shiny! I was thinking about getting rid of the little one inch blonde ends I have, they have grown out soo much and when she did them, my hair was longer and she placed them so that when they started to grow out, it wouldn't be noticeable. My hair is just really healthy right now, and I am unsure about dying it. I had like two hairs (that I can see anyway) that broke on me. Plus my shade of brown isn't really matched in their books. My hair pulls red color really well! Everytime I do brown, it ends up more reddish brown. I want something that won't show when it grows out.
As for everything else, my nails continue to grow  Smiley. They look healthy, like when I was in grade school, and they haven't been like this in a while! I guess the tea tree oil is really helping to keep them from chipping, etc.. By now normally I would have hit my nails on something and they would all be broken off, or chipping. I't funny at the mall we went to on our trip Thursday, a man at a kiosk stopped my mom and did some stuff to one of her nails. The stuff is from a kiosk the dead sea?? He used one of those blocks that smooth, and buff the nail, the put cuticle oil on it. He tried to sell he a kit for $50.00!!! Shocked I told her I could get stuff to do that for cheaper at the beauty supply store! Then he tried to give her two for that price! Then it was I'll give you one for $25.00! Now that price sounded much better for one, but then you weren't really doing me a favor by giving me two for $50!!! I laugh at a guy trying to sell stuff like this  Roll Eyes, he was saying things that just made me want to laugh! I was like I know I am not a cute young thing, so you can stop kissing up, cause I am not buying a thing!
Ughhhh, clothes shopping! I either need to gain wieght or lose it because I am in between sizes. Hubby was like I prefer you to lose it, and I am like well no kidding Huh!  ME TOOO, and my orthopedic, and doctor.... but tell me what to do cause I am clueless! If I work my legs too much, they get tired and I end up falling, and I have to say that isn't fun and I don't need more medical bills!

I enjoy zoo's when we have a chance to go to them Cool

What kind of animals does the zoo have that you went to?

We do have a zoo in our state but it is pretty small and has two Bengal Tigers, a Grizzly bear (which has not been there long), some Wolves and some other animals I can't remember right now.

Boise, Idaho is probably the closest large zoo to our state and then the zoo in Salt Lake City but I have not been to either of them yet.
Spokane, Washington has a zoo which we did go to but it is not that big.

Jerry;
We went to the Boise zoo. It's a couple of hours from where we live. They had zebras, a sloth bear, a red panda (it had given birth at the beginning of July and was off limits until it was ready to bring the cub out), tigers, things along that line. My son was kinda dissapointed there wasn't any giraffes. They were working on the African part of the zoo, so I imagine they will. I forgot my camera, which is what happens when I don't pack and plan the night before. I would love to take my boys to the Salt Lake City zoo, when gas goes down a bit, and we can plan to stay the night and maybe go to Lagoon as well. That is a pretty long drive just to go and come back so soon.

That sounds like a neat zoo to visit Cool   I hope to visit Boise one of these days.

I was wrong about the zoo in our state, it has Siberian tigers not Bengal Embarrassed

If you are curious what animals they have go to this link:  http://www.zoomontana.org

K, so 2nd time using the deva products. One thing I have noticed is that my hair is SUPER soft!  Smiley But I notice since conditoner washing I have dandruff or some flaky white stuff in my hair, mostly twords the scalp. Not sure if I need to oil my scalp as well, or why it is happening now. Figured if I had it it would be present when using shampoo, unless the cones were hiding that to. I don't think I will try to color the blonde. I think I will just leave it be, as I don't want to color my hair anymore. Save money and my hair! I oiled my hair last night with jojoba oil and wrapped it. Except my wrap never stay on! I must have a wierd shaped head or something cause it works it's way up in the back, and ends up coming off in the night. The quest for satin pillowcases continues. When I wake up in the morning, my hair is scary! I am thinking that a satin pillowcase would help cut down on the messy hair in the morning. It could just be the fact it is super short, and as it gets longer it will be less messy in the mornings, not sure.

YAY!  Your hair looks great!  When I had my hair super short I had to wash or wet it every day.  Curly hair has a mind of its own!!

I prefer silk pillow cases.  I've never compaired prices, so I don't know if or how much more it costs than satin.

This is for 2 cases.  I think I got mine 3 years ago.  They do have sales...

Thanks! If you had not suggested the devacurl products, I don't know what it would look like!

I think I am just going to have to continue doing this. I would just like to wake up and go, but I don't think that is possible with curly hair. It's high maintenance!!!!

Thanks for the web site! I'll have to check it out in the morning!

Ooh, your curls are looking good, they're so pretty.  Smiley I'm always jealous of curly hair. Keep up the good work and stay away from the straightening iron, just keep picturing what you're hair will look like when it's long with all those curls, it's going to be awesome.  Cool
