I agree, your never too old to have long hair!!!
 
 
I used some of my Cream of Coconut for a hot oil treatment. It turned to the consistency of honey. It was a little messy, but it did a great job, it left my hair so soft!
 
I just won couple items on e-bay. My first Hair Sticks! I can't wait to try those. I hope they stay in my hair, my hair is a little slippery. I'll post pictures when I get them.
 
Also, I won a Purple Snowflake Necklace I love purple and snowflakes, I was so excited to find it! I'll post a pic of necklace too.
 
 
After washing my hair the other day, I let it air dry, and this is what I got.....
 
 
 
 
Notice the curl, I thought it was cute, so I took a picture.  My hair is weird, some days straight some days wavy! Tongue

You have come a long way already. Keep going. Plus you are throwing it out there no matter how old you are you can have long hair.

Thanks Mike! Smile
 
This is the way my hair was.....
 
 
 
 
The last time I had it cut and highlighted like this was in Sept. 07. My goal was to grow out all those layers! They are all pretty much gone. My hair is a little shorter on the sides, but they blend right in, you can't tell. Oh, and I have bangs too. Now, I'm just letting it grow long. I always had long hair, until I turned 40 and cut it. I am excited to have long hair again! Big%20smile

Here's a couple pictures I took the other day.
 
Butterfly Clip.....
 
 
 
 
I bought this a long time ago, but my hair was too short to wear it!
 
 
Halfup....
 
 
 
 
I think my ends look good in this picture. I still can't believe my layers are gone! barmy

It is nice finding something that works though. Seems like when the seasons change, so does hair care!

Sounds like hit or miss with hair wash stuff. Heck might as well find out what works and don't.

Thanks Mike! One thing I noticed when I go a few months between root touch ups, my hair takes on a chestnut brown color. So not too bad. I like it!
 
 
I tryed the Burts Bees Peach & Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub and Radient Day Cream. LOVE it! My face didn't turn red or irriated at all. My face has never looked or felt better. If you have dry and sensitive skin like me, I'd recommend Burts Bees.
 
 
I washed my hair this morning with Soapnuts. I didn't like these at all! It feels well, like I washed my hair with soap lol. I'm going to stick to my Giovanni Smooth As Silk. Love that stuff!

I got my new Flexi-8's in the mail today!
 
 
I traded my gold one in for the silver and blue one. And, I exchanged the silver and black one for a smaller size. These are perfect! I love them!
 
I'll take some pictures of them in my hair soon!
 
Also, I got my sample pack of Soapnuts. I'm letting them soak overnight to use them to wash my hair tomorrow. I'll post how I like them!
 
Non Hair Entry....
 
I bought some Burts Bees Peach & Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub and Radient Day Cream. I have very sensitive skin, so I hope this doesn't irriate it. I've been using Mychelle products. I love them! But, they are expensive and I'm almost out and was looking for something new to try. I've heard good reviews about Burts Bees. I can't wait to try them!

Cream of Coconut....
 
Apparently what I bought was Cream of Coconut not Coconut Water. Cream of Coconut has the same consisteny as Condtioner. So, I used it in place of my Conditioner this morning. It is great stuff, my hair feels so soft. I'm also going to try heating some up and using it as an hot oil treatment!
 
Here is a picture I just took of my hair....
 
 
 
You can really see my dark hair coming in. I'm excited to see what my natural hair looks like!

My hair has been so dry and frizzy this winter! I started using Jojoba Oil again. This time, I'm using it on my dry hair. I rub a drop in my hands then smooth it on my hair. It's working good, my hair feels so soft! I'm not getting the crunchiness, like I was when I was putting it on my wet hair.
 
I bought some Coconut Water today. I'm not sure how I'm going to use it yet. Either as a rinse or a leave in. Also, I ordered a sample pack of soapnuts on e-bay. Some people have had wonderfull results washing their hair with them. I'll let you know my results!

Cool looks like your mini goals are going to be easy to reach. Good luck and glad to be able to be there for the ride.

Measuring...
 
I just measured my APL is 23-24" and BSL is 26-27"
 
I'm at 20" now, so it is possible to reach those goals this year! barmy
 
Especially now that I have my own cutting tools, I can do micro trims.

LOVE your new jewelry chest!  It's so pretty and will be a lot of fun keeping all your goodies in there.  Congrats on the hair tools too!  My hubby would be a nervous wreck to cut my hair. 

Good luck on your resolutions!  My NY resolution is to; make no NY resolutions.dance2

Hair Cutting Tools....
 
 
 
 
I'm all set now to trim my own hair! dance1
 
I bought some good Shears and the CreaClip. I trimmed my own bangs last night, and they turned out great! It's going to be nice keeping my bangs the length I like. And, I'm going to have my DH trim the back of my hair every few months, just a tiny bit to clean up the ends. I'm so excited, I don't have to go to the salon any more! dance3
