Thankfully it was completely dull in comparison.  Cool

Drear:Huh, imagine that. I feel for ya, because I had first hand experience.  Tongue

Forgot to mention the woman I saw on Friday. She had knee length hair with fairy tale ends.  Shocked It would've been so much more impressive if the ends hadn't been ratty.  Tongue Trims make all the difference.  Wink

If my nails were an 1/8" past my finger tips I'd be surprised. But even at that pathetic length I manged to break three.  Angry Tongue So I cut them all back as far as I could and painted them in the new candy pink polish I got last month. Which lasted a day before chipping.  Roll Eyes Albeit I only did 1 coat.  Roll Eyes

Wash Day


Had to clarify yesterday. As I product build up.  Tongue The natural clarifying shampoo I have left over is the only natural product my hair likes. However it's not quite as affordable as conventional.  Roll Eyes I will be changing product lines yet again.  Roll Eyes After using the deep treatment, I bought Friday, yesterday I liked how soft it made my hair and the incredibly sexy floral scent it left behind.  Cheesy It's not too big a problem. I'm almost out of the one conditioner, because it was from awhile ago, the other shampoo technically isn't mind. And I can blend the rest for a bit.  Grin Cheesy So some more hair shopping this weekend.  Cool Cheesy

We've been pulling a Seattle as of late. It's been cool and rainy here since Friday.  Shocked It's supposed to warm up a bit over the coming days, which will bring thunderstorm potential.  Tongue I'd rather have it cool and rainy.  Cool I just wish the house was warmer.  Undecided

Over The Weekend

So Saturday was warm, but was finally rain free after we tried pulling a Noah's Ark.  Roll Eyes Wore my hair in a ponytail at the crown then put another hair tie in halfway down. Bought large size bottles of my new shampoo and conditioner.  Cool They're 33.8oz each!  Shocked Should last me a month....  Grin Cheesy lol just kidding,  Wink I figure 3 months at least. Got some Lindt truffles the white chocolate on white chocolate w/cocoa pieces.  Cool Those things are freaking awesome.  Cheesy Went to the dollar store to get another pair of large jaw clips. Hey the last one's lasted 3 years. Some things really are only worth a dollar.  Roll Eyes

Yesterday was simply beautiful in the upper 60's with wonderful fresh wind.  Cool Sigh enjoy the spring, next thing I know it'll be 90° again.  Tongue Hair was twisted in a partial low bun with the remaining length secured by an aforementioned jaw clip. I accented it with my pair of crystal flower bobby pins.

Hair is flying away again.  Tongue Guess it doesn't like VO5 as much as I thought.  Undecided Luckily new products will be used Tuesday.  Cool

Thinking of removing nail polish some time this week, it's chipping bad and looking crappy.  Tongue

That stupid bird is still outside the window.  Angry Roll Eyes très annoying.

So it'll be lovely weather all week, until Saturday with a chance of thunderstorms.  Tongue C'est ma vie. And that's about as good as my French is.  Roll Eyes

Wash Day


So first wash day with the new Aussie Moist line. Hair loves it.  Cool It's soft, shiny... and a little dry at the ends due to our sudden low humidity.  Tongue Angry No worries whipped up a new MM with the conditioner and I'm good to go.  Cool

Anti frizz leave in creme seems to be working well helps keep away the flyways, frizzies and coarseness.  Cool

Life is good when you're hair is happy.  Cool Grin Wink

Catch Up


So was wash day Friday. Nothing to report there.

Saturday hair was just worn in a braid. Because A: I'm lazy. And B: I wasn't really out that long. Got some more of those Lindt truffles milk chocolate with a white chocolate center.  Cool It was humid and disgusting and we had thunderstorms Saturday night.  Tongue

Sunday hair was worn in the double bun style. Pins held well, just needed some bobby pins for the ends that like to poke out.  Roll Eyes It was freaking cold, we just barely made it to 60° which was quite a contrast from just the day before.

Nails are now neat, nude, and growing... for now.  Roll Eyes
Hair has lost all of it's Biotin induced poofyness.  Cool
We have a frost advisory for tonight, and by Thursday it will be in the 80's.  Tongue

Stuff


There's never really much for me to say in these things.  Undecided That and I waste enough of my time doing other things so I post when I post.  Roll Eyes

Tuesday became a WTC after we had several low humidity days in a row which had made my hair completely dry and flyaway.  Tongue

Now however we have gone back into humidity.  Tongue Which causes an equal amount of problems.  Roll Eyes On Friday it was just a regular wash day. Wherein I discovered that my anti-frizz cream doesn't do jack.  Tongue

Saturday's style was a braided loop held up by a medium jaw clip.

Purchased a new bottle of humidity spray after determining that my old one was bottled when I was 8.  Shocked I've been noticing that it's not as effective as it should be.  Roll Eyes

I think I need to buy and actual leave in conditioner spray. I don't think my MM concoction is cutting it. Oh the joys of length, my hair can now mange to be dry when it's humid.  Roll Eyes

Two of my nails have managed to break already and they're only an 1/8" past the tips.  Roll Eyes

I feel pretty ... and  Crybecause of a lot of stupid s#!t  Angry, that and it is nearing that most "pleasant" time of the month.  Tongue Roll Eyes

Oof


So yesterday... some day.  Roll Eyes

The weather was fabulous. It was windy, rainy and in the low 50's!  Shocked Cool

However we were supposed to have the cable guy come out for a problem and he never showed.  Angry And there were two outages yesterday afternoon and this morning. One a car hit a pole. This morning the garbage truck brought the lines down.  Roll Eyes Ironically enough they were in the same location.  Grin

Well the molar I have a cavity in part of the tooth broke off yesterday.  Tongue Shocked So I have to get it filled Friday morning. Whee.  Roll Eyes It's fine other then the sharp point that jabs me in the tongue when I chew.  Tongue That's the joy of having parents who never got you dental and now I can't afford dental. But my mom finally got me covered under a plan. Too little too late I always say.  Tongue

Yesterday was wash day. Tried the MM when my hair was wet then again when it's dry it's better. Awaiting the end of the useless anti-frizz product which seriously does bupkiss.  Roll Eyes Though with all my length that shouldn't take too long to come.  Grin

I haven't been using my anti humidity spray because I'm not out and about, though my hair was seriously bad this morning and it's really not even that humid.  Undecided If this continues I may have to use it even at home just to get it all under control.  Roll Eyes Tongue

Major Catch Up


So been having a hard time trying to get on this site to post, until now. Most likely due to the joys of dial up.  Roll Eyes

So... let's see I last posted... on the 27th.

Friday was my wash day as always. I had tried the humidity spray and wound up using way too much because it was spraying poorly.  Angry So I used my still remaining natural clarifying shampoo to get the gunk out of my hair. That still remains the only natural product I think my hair actually likes.  Roll Eyes

Found out on Friday that I need a root canal.  Shocked ... However when my mom called to make the appointment yesterday they mentioned that the dentist said I may not need one.  Smiley Yeah. I've never needed major dental work and I'd like to keep it that way.

Saturday we went to a farmers market and got some fantastic strawberries.  Cool They have tomatoes there that are practically the size of my head.  Shocked Certainly better looking produce then one finds in the grocery store, tends to be cheaper too.  Wink

Saturday's style was a Dutch braid, was meant to be French but dyslexic me forgot which way produced which.  Roll Eyes

Sunday's style was the ever classic flipped ponytail, low, with the tail braided and accented with one of my sterling silver combs.

My hair has been acting completely out of control lately. It seems to hate anything I use. It's become very poofy and dry with the low humidity and it's twice as poofy when it's humid.  Tongue Undecided I used some of my leftover BBAB that I had pawned off on my mom to try to do something with the dryness. But as with 99.9% of natural ingredients it left my hair horribly greasy instead of improved.  Tongue

So today I clarified, used DWV to correct my PH, shampooed again, used my deep treatment then standard conditioner. Followed by the useless anti-frizz that I have to get rid of. I have no idea if it did anything of use or not.  Undecided

I'm also currently trying to get my part out of my hair. I've parted it the same side since I grew my bangs out at 12.  Embarrassed I look in the mirror and it looks the same and it's bugging me. I can't part it in the middle because I look too young. I can't part it on the other side because it looks horrible. I have no idea how I'm going to coax it to stay.  Undecided Suggestions of products (preferably not totally natural) would be welcomed.

Four nails have no broken. And just when they were getting to the proper length too.  Angry Embarrassed

We've been having fantabulous weather up till today, where it's become humid.  Tongue However it won't last and will improve again by the weekend.  Cool So far our late spring/early summer is looking quite nice.  Cool

Tomorrow, when my hair dries, I'll measure. If it's grown a 1/2" I'll be at waist length.  Cool Smiley

If it's any consolation, short nails are the fashion now, according to In Style, glamour and Lucky.   Smiley

The way I'm handling my own hair I probably shouldn't be giving advice. Roll Eyes  I like to keep my nails short regardless of whether it's fashionable or not.  I never got the hang of nail scissors and use the clippers most men use so flat over 1/4" is the max length.  Not finger tip length though.

Very true Melusine, seeing as I get Glamour myself.  Wink But I'm very unconventional and longer nails have always been my thing. With my preferred length being 3/16" past the finger tip. Now if they'd all get there at the same time...  Roll Eyes Grin

Drear: I feel like that about my hair care routine.  Wink Roll Eyes

So today was measure day. And I'm now sporting waist length hair.  Cool I tried using a drop of AKO that we still have lying around, we're out of JO I believe. I used just the drop it didn't have any negative effects but didn't have any positive ones either.  Tongue Undecided

Hair is constantly trying to part itself in the center.  Roll Eyes Which I find really ironic because I haven't parted it there in years and then only briefly.  Grin Cheesy

Congrats on reaching waist length, girlie! You beat me by miles! Grin Cheesy

Sorry about your dental woes. A few years ago, my dentist told me that I might need a root canal also, but it ended up being just a filling.
This summer, I'll be having oral surgery. Yay hooray. Be glad you're not there yet. Roll Eyes

Grin Thanks Angel.  Smiley

So what was it... yes later on Tuesday it started raining and got cooler and all day Wednesday we had a hard time hitting 60° and it was raining and windy.  Cool Nice stuff then we had some beautiful late spring/early summer (whichever you prefer.) days in the 70's with low humidity. Then it got humid and disgusting then a couple nice days and today it's back to humid and disgusting, and that seems to be the pattern we will be in and out of over the next week.  Tongue

Friday I did another WTC didn't make much of a difference. Hair needs more.  Tongue So I just read in one of my magazines that Indian women do weekly coconut oil scalp massages to keep their hair smooth and sleek. So yes anti natural hair product Tanai will be trying this tomorrow.  Roll Eyes Grin Hey I'm desperate this stuff is out of control.  Grin Roll Eyes

Sunday wore my hair in just a braid as I was a bit crunched for time and picked up the aforementioned coconut oil. Oy vey this out to be good.  Roll Eyes
