Hair (Almost) Contentment

My hair seems to be digging the new shampoo and conditioner and the new pre-shower oil treatment. My leave in oil's still too light so I had flyaways while brushing it through.  I hope to be able to get a new oil soon once I use this stuff up, hopefully in the next couple of weeks. But yeah, my hair has felt this soft or slippery in awhile. I've missed it feeling like this.  Also need to get a new comb.  Scary breakage sounds make me nauseous and that's after I sanded the seams down twice.  So hopefully next month at some point I won't need something else and will be able to buy a new one. 

Measuring Time!

So yesterday, I washed and did the jojoba pre shampoo thing again. Hair has been excessively dry lately due to the complete lack of humidity we've been having.  This is not boding well for winter.  I'm thinking of trying the CWC technique on Friday to see if the extra conditioner could make any difference.

Today was measure and trim day! I'm so happy my hair has finally decided to start growing again and is still maintaining the 1in. a month growth rate thanks to the Biotin.  So my pre trim measurement was 27" and my post trim measurement is 26" if my hair continues in this growing pattern I could be looking at waist length by the New Year!

Looks that way.  And thanx I will.

My hair hates too low of humidity and too high of humidity.  I think it only likes that perfect 50% humidity which probably occurs a grand total of...oh I don't know... 5 days out of the year.  It seriously needs to learn to cope. 

Lots of Talk

That was some "hurricane" 3 seconds!  LMAO!

Thank you.    They're so cute it almost seems a shame not to use them.  Oh, and your curls are just great! I'm one of the straights who always wanted to be curly.  You'll love this post it's full of them.

We had an earthquake here once. A 3.5 small by West Coast standards but when you've never been in one before it's still quite an experience. I think I stick to the hurricanes and blizzards but I'd like to leave the tornadoes out of the picture. *eep* 


So yesterday I decided to add conditioner to my usual pre shampoo jojoba oil. When I rinsed it out in the shower I noticed it made my hair feel exceedingly soft when wet. And I didn't need oil today, my hair wasn't dry it was just frizzy because it's like 1000% humidity out there.  Didn't do a CWC hair didn't need it seeing as the humidity increased as of late.

Yesterday I fell down a few of the stairs into the living room.  Bleah, I hurt all over and a "nice" rug burn on my one arm. Today, other then the healing rug burn, I'm fine. I just hate doing that sort of thing. But I suppose it's better to fall on one's bum, as long as you've got a cushy one.

My shower wasn't totally fantastic yesterday the hot water smelled of onions again. 
Yuck it always seems to do that only when I'm in the shower.  So my shower was cooler then I would've liked. I've been washing my hair with lukewarm water so that was fine but the rest of the time was a little more brisk then I would've cared for.

The tropical storm's been hitting today. Heavy rain and wind.  The humidity is so disgusting though, a sauna is probably drier.  So aside from the humidity my kind of weather.   

Today I bought some shower caps for deep treatments and to get my hair out of the way while I shower, so the conditioner can sink in. And a bottle of the anti breakage serum I wanted.  All will be getting a test drive on Tuesday.

Money's tight as usual. I so hate living with my parents.  I don't even bother looking for a job because there's no one hiring.  So I'm forced to "mooch" of my parents.  I hope my haircare won't have to suffer.  Oh well increased financial pressure may be just the thing to get my parents to sell our house so we can move. *nods* One can only hope. There's been talk of moving since I was in high school. So I'm not going to hold my breath, but part of me would like to hope that this will finally be the time we can move out and make a new start!    Especially me!

Is It Actually Dry?

I oiled my hair today. Not even sure it needed it. It's been very difficult for me to discern as of late whether or not my hair is actually dry and needs to be oiled. My hair looks and feel very dry before I comb it. But after I spray on my leave in conditioner and comb it neat it no longer looks or feels supremely dry, it feels the tiniest bit dry... Not sure if it's dryness or frizz. My hair should be cut-and-dry either it's dry and needs to be oiled or it's fine and doesn't I don't care for supposed dryness. 

Weather has taken a wonderful fall like turn for the past couple of days after we had some exceedingly gusty thunderstorms Tuesday morning. Now it's cloudy and cool, the air smells like fall and I'm waiting impatiently for it to get cool enough to wear my boots, of which I have three pairs.  Because I've been officially sick of sandals for the past couple of weeks. Well maybe it'll be cool enough for flats this weekend. Still no socks but not as bare as sandals. *crosses fingers*

Sipping ice water gets rid of that "lovely" bloat associated with one's "monthly gift" particularly noticeable on small beings. 

Wonderful Wash Weather

(try saying that 5x's fast.  )

LMFAO! Ha, I keep trying to exchange it for something I want but can't get a hold of anyone at customer service. 

The weather is what I would consider perfect today. It's cool in the mid 60's, and there's a wonderful steady rain coming down. So of course I went walking around in it taking it all in from under my umbrella. Ten degrees cooler and it would be absolutely raw and even more perfect.  I'm nuts I know.  But of course tomorrow is supposed to be warm and very humid with a chance of showers.  And Sunday it's supposed to be close to 90.  *sigh* I'll get to wear my boots someday.

So today is wash day and I did my pre shampoo jojoba oil leave in, added the conditioner this time. And it's under a shower cap as I type. I figure I haven't oiled much lately so it could probably use the help. I have no f'ing clue what I'll do with my hair in all the humidity.  I'm running out of ideas as is.  Oh well at least I get to look at some new flats tomorrow.
