I conditioned w/Suave tropical cocount (my fave) & threw my hair up into a bun. If I decide to go out tonight it will still be damp enough when I take it down to style it. Ugh well that's it for now. I guess more biotin & more waiting...

So, I scheduled an unexpected trim for tommorrow. Undecided

In one of the other topics someone asked about wearing their hair up for an extended period of time.. well here is my advice... just don't put it in a bun. Wink

My hair just got to the length where i can wrap it all in a quick, slick bun, with no hairs sticking out. After a few days of doing this right out of the shower... well.. to say the least, my ends suffered Angry

Nothing tragic, but I just feel the need to clean up my ends.

I've been continuing to do WV rinses & condition with Suave Tropical Coconut.

Oh and for the record.. shedding has officially died down! woo hoo!!

So I had my unexpected trim today... and even though I felt as though my hairdresser was chopping away.. I really can't even tell the difference (except that my ends feel much thicker!) I think this is going to set my goal back just a tad... but I still think my longest layer could reach mid-back by December.

On another note.. I'm going to try to let my blow out last for at least 3 days. It looks gorgeous, and I think it will be a nice rest for my hair.

Also, I asked my stylist about the keratin treatment.. and for my hair type he actually advised against it Undecided

Maybe it's a sign that I need to once and for all .. EMBRACE THE CURLS!!

I'm 98.9% sure that my longest layer is at a rest phase. I just hope that it hasn't reached my maximum hair length. Because I want it go so much longer! Undecided

Today I tried something different... Instead of doing my WV rinse after my shampoo, I rinsed after I conditioned.
The good thing is... there was no stench! That would've been impossible with ACV!

My sister reccommended a great bumble & bumble product & I'm dying to rush out and buy it.. but things have just been so busy. I need a new conditioner & clarifying shampoo as well, but I might not venture into any drastic changes for those areas any time soon.

WoW! It's been a while since my last entry.

Well, I am now officially Mid-Back... @ my longest layer! My hair is in pretty good condition. Lately I've been doing more CO's, since the winter air is especially dry. I am still using Suave as a conditioner, because I just love how light it is. My black hair dye is starting to fade... but it's very very subtle.
On another note.. I have set my next trim at Feb. 8th, which according to the Morroccon Lunar Charts, is beneficial for lengthening

Thank you Trisha!!

Reaching Mid-back was a huge goal for me.. I'm glad I made it!

Hair Round-up:
I'm loving the effects of the cold winter air on my hair.. lately I've been letting my hair air dry about 80%, and roundbrushing my hair in sections (but mostly just focusing on the ends) and finishing with a spritz of hairspray. I still end up with a few little curly peices towards my scalp, but my hair looks incredibly thick and shiny, I love it!

Now for a separate thought...
Last night I went out with some friends for some drinks. A girl I was talking with had... terrible smelling hair! Got me thinking.. what could my hair possibly smell during the times I'm only washing every third day.
hmm.. Undecided

I never notice any unpleasantness... but maybe she didn't either.

Well.... I'm still just waiting and growing. Roll Eyes

But I finally set my next goal length

New Goal: Mid-Back + 3

This is about elbow length on me. I know many people are NOT going to agree with me on my next statement but... I recently read in a book on elegance that a really elegant woman doesn't grow her hair past her elbows.
Now, I'm not saying that I agree with this statement but it sure got me thinking about "elbow length".
And while I think ALL long hair is elegant.... I agree that elbow length truly is an elegant look

Wow its been a looooong time!

I am still maintaining mid-back, and just had a trim about a month a go.
I am currently using Pantene Pro-V Classic Care shampoo and conditioner (I like to bring back the cones for winter!)
and my wash schedule goes like this:

Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4
Wash CO CO Wash

Thats about it for now.. just trying to get some length & grow out my layers! Roll Eyes

My hair is feeling a little.. dry, I suppose. I'm going to do an ACV rinse tom. & probably use a light conditioner without cones. I love the smell of the Pantene but my hair doesn't take well to it after a few weeks.

Reply #118 - Feb 16^th, 2009 at 12:02am right now I'm thinking that my hair ticker is going to have to be changed I'm thinking of extending the date to my next trim till about May. What can I say? I hope I'm not getting too greedy about wanting longer locks Tom. I desperately need to do an ACV rinse and get a new conditioner. We'll see how that goes!
