So I guess I spoke too soon on the wasting water thing. I didn't even
get around to using a lot of water and we ran out. I'm about to CWC,
microfiber towel, apply EQP Mango Butter, and get my mom to cornrow my
hair for me.

I've been gone for a month and not posted anything about my hair. I'm
back though. Here's a quick recap of my hair. I kept those cornrows in
for a week. I twisted my hair and kept them in for almost a week (I
think). I wore my hair out for some of my trip and since it was cold
with low humidity my curls were so cute without having to use any gel.
Now that I'm back I have the top half of my head in cornrows and the
back loose. Of course the the spot where the top meets the back is my
funky hair that sticks straight up so I'm constantly wetting and
conditioning and trying to smooth it down. I just combed it out in the
shower and for some reason I don't see any curls. Is it the humidity?
It just looks like an afro with straight pieces sticking out
everywhere.
I think my hair grew 1/2" while I was gone. It's now 5" long.

I dusted the ends of my hair while I was braiding it. I plan to trim my
hair next in October. Hopefully by then it will have grown 2 inches. It
is currently about 5-1/2" so that'll make it 7-1/2".
I don't really have a hair routine lately. I just shampoo and condition
it and keep it in a style for a week and do it over again.
I am going to try and avoid cones and see if that will help with scalp itchies/flakes.

I'm sitting here with olive oil dripping down my face. I'm doing the
oil conditioning treatment from the african american hair section. It
seems really great. I've used olive oil before so I don't know if it's
this Suave Lilac and Lavendar conditioner that smells great but my hair
feels really soft and moist and super easy to detangle dry when a
minute ago it was hard and dry from being in an old twist out. Since
I'm going out in a half an hour I'm just going to rinse this out and
call it george.

My hair has been so frizzy and dry looking at the ends lately. I don't
know why. Maybe because it's time for my monthly clarifying. Usually
after I do that it looks great and perfect. I have V05 strawberries and
cream on my hair as a prepoo and then I'll clarify and condition and
moisture as normal.
I guess I'm at that horrible in between stage of hair growth. I loved
my hair when it was shorter but now it's just blah! But it is growing
because I can hold it all together into one ponytail with my hands but
the thicker hairs stop it from staying in a ponytail holder. Maybe when
it'll get longer I'll love it again.
I'm going to do coils. Well start them anyway because I'm going out in an hour.

It seems as if my hair hasn't grown this month at all. I think it's
still at 5-1/2". If I can get my hair to look good once I will take a
picture so I can do a growth comparison to see if it's growing at
all. I don't know what's wrong with my hair that's causing it not
to grow and act all sucky. When my hair was relaxed, it would grow 1" a
month now it's not growing at all. The monthly clarifying didn't help
at all it looks exactly the same. The only way i can get any curl
definition is to coil it while it's wet and split them up when it's
dry. I'm finally almost finished with the ARTec shampoo so maybe the
Regis Cherry Almond shampoo will work better.
The shea butter that we buy used to be really soft and great but now
it's hard so I tried whipping it to see if it helps any. I'll be using
a little of that today and start braiding my hair but I'm going out so
it'll only be a few braids.
Today's experiment: honey rinse.

My hair feels back to normal after using my new shampoo and deep
conditioner (old Jessicurl). I hadn't even noticed that it's been
forever since I've done one. Then I attempted to shingle with shea
butter and mousse. It didn't work to well. It just looks like I have a
chunky fro.
My hair is 6" long. yay it's growing.

On Saturday I attempted to color my hair with Loreal Colour Pulse
Chilled Plum. Needless to say it didn't work. It did work at staining
my scarf though. I fingercombed only and my hair came out great. I had
all these little perfect coils all over my head. I guess the comb
usually pulls them all out.
Currently I'm sitting with olive oil and honey all over my hair. I'm
trying to prevent split ends. I plan to CO this out in 20 minutes. It's
been 6 months since I did the BC so I want to do a little trim. So the
next time I twist or braid my hair I'll do it. I planned style my hair
into twists with aloe but I have to go out.
